    Thumbs up

    Mate, I'm not a boat builder but you really can't paint King Billy. I got some nice boards in my shed waiting for a moment of inspiration but whatever I do I won't be painting it. Sacrilege.
    Nice boat BTW.
    If you never made a mistake, you never made anything!

    Only paint on the outside, inside will still be clear finish. I dont want to spend the rest of my weekends after I finish repairing a clear finished exterior.

    Default Teak Deck

    Time for another update.
    Got some Teak of a mate who was going to make picture frames out of it! I quickly talked him out of it and convinced him to give it to me!
    The deck will go on the cockpit floor so I basically fitted a piece of 6mm ply to the shape it had to go in and then marked about 15mm in from the edge which will hopefully be the right amount for a fillet when it goes in.
    The I took the ply base out and started to glue strips down using Epoxy, I wiped all the Teak down with thinners to get some of the oils out of the stuff in the hope it will stick, just used screws with big washers and tongue from chip board flooring for spacers. These worked really well as spacer as the dont stick to epoxy.
    I decided to use the Gougeon Brothers method os a Graphite powder epoxy mix to fill the gaps and then just sanded it all off. In the pictures I have just filled the last few voids, hence the black goop on the deck.
    Now I just have to put it in the boat.

    Thumbs up Cool

    Wow
    Scotty I haven't got to comment on your boat all I can say is WOW.

    I think I'll crawl back into my box and get my head down before I report on anymore boat building (OK canoe building) you put me to shame

    I'd love to be at the launch ... I know, I know ... it's rushing it a bit but just the thought of it ... keeps you going really... I mean you can stop and look at the beauty anytime but just thinking of it floating; hang on SAILING just gives you goose bumps doesn't it.

    Better take after Dingo and mop up as I leave

    She's looking great, Scotty!

    Teak deck a real bonus.

    I'd be interested to know if any of the bulkeads were included as part of the original moulds, or have they all been added later? Very neatly done!
    Cheers,

    In answer to the above question, I had to fit all the bulkheads and didnt get any precut stuff. I used a pattern and a toggle stick to transfer it to full sheet to be cut. This seemed to work ok, always a bit of a tricky job though.

    Really nice job Scotty.

    I have been watching your progress for a while now and I'm sure you will be happy with using it when she's finished. I'm sure there will be a lot of jealous sailors about when you take her out, especially if they only have "tupperware' boats.

    I know you will enjoy the experience, good luck.

    Scotty

    Thats the absolutly the best thing I've seen for quite a long time. I've just recieved the study plans for the 5.4, and now I'm almost 100% convinced its the way to go, but you've set the bar pretty high.

    Its been a little while since any news of progress, what the latest? I need to know!

    Regards

    Matt

    Have sent you a PM Cat so I can send you the bulk of the pics with out the restrictions of the forum. As far as updated ones, there ain't much to see at the moment, alot of fiberglass tape going on the corners and then alot of sanding/filling. I have just started studying part time as well as work, so poor boat is feeling a bit negleted.

    It looks awesome, I love the teak decking.
    How long does the average boat building project last I wonder?
