My centrecase is 534mm measured from the aft ply face of BH # 2 to the fwd face of the centrecase front gusset. Maybe yours is correct and mine is wrong. Someone else will chime in soon.

I used Clint’s new closer tighter dimensions, 6" off center and I found that I would be cutting into the transom frame 19mm. That didn’t seem right so I move all the measurements forward...

Great job and perfect timing. I've been trying to get my son motivated to build the OozeGooze for months. And what’s even better he wants to do the 2013 Texas 200. Seeing this post just may be what...

You wouldn't mind directing me to a picture of your "(I have a centered mainsheet system)" or maybe providing another couple of pictures with an explanation. I know you explained your set...

I just ran out in a rain shower to weigh my mizzen mast thinking I may have a weight you could use, wrong. As it turned out :o my finished birdsmouth Sitka spruce mizzen mast = 3302 length,...

Welcome aboard Pontus. The GIS will be a great project for you and your son. I've been real quiet over the past year but have enjoyed all the GIS build comments and sailing experiences provided by...

Lousy pictures but another GIS goes 3D. Maybe the out of focus picture was subconsciously intentional (I didn’t want anyone to see my slight mistake). Everything came out looking very good EXCEPT...

Simon, that's it. I misread the instructions for bhd 2 and completely forgot the bhd 2 sidearm layout reference on the bhd dimension sheet. There’s nothing worse then an old man out of control....

Help please. I must be blind. I can't seem to see where the 19 X 60 X 1400 framing stock is used in the builders guide. I've searched several of the past threads and can't seem to find a reference. I...

A good friend talked me into using System 3 Two Part Linear Polyurethane Topcoat – clear gloss. It worked great on the spars during the colder weather. However, once the 90 degree plus temps rolled...

Simon, I’m having the same problem up in the panhandle. I spent two weeks trying to come up with a technique to eliminate the brush marks and runs. No luck. My rudder stock and centrecase are just...

I have the answer – thanks Michael – it was really great getting to meet you first hand and chatting for a while. And poor John, my wife told me later that I had spent four hours examining your boat...

Thanks, I thought I had messed up my measurements. I just set the centrecase aside for a week hoping a good gremlin would come by and fix it. Christophe I knew I had seen comments on this but I...

I can’t believe my last post was last November. Of course that’s the post where I called Mic a mother hen. After that brilliant move I decided to lay low for a while. I’ve only been able to spend a...

I remember the Boring picture from your original posting last year. Check the background out - it's even Boring. Well maybe not the trees in the far background. We got to keep those trees coming...

Oh, got it. :B I’m an old retired military (still working) aircraft maintenance guy that’s always seen specks, weights and dimensions. I panicked when my rudder T/E ended up at 2.5 and my...

I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find a dimension for the trailing edge of the foils. The plans indicate the trailing edge finishes to a narrow flat edge. My rudder is 3 mm and the...

Thanks Mik. You won't believe how many times I've read over both your PDR and GIS plans. Way to many times and I still panicked when my mix started to set up. After once again reading over your...

Thanks for the kick off notes. You all have been my inspiration to finely get this project under way.

I made my first cuts tonight and I'm glad to report that I'm the only person that will ever...

Well here we go. I've been watching this forum for over a year. This will be my first attempt to post, I’m not even sure what I’m doing right now will end up where I want it to. My interest in the...
