She's really coming together guys, great work! I've been lurking here since a few months after you started and I'm very happy to see things are really moving along now. I can't wait to see her in the water. This has become my Saturday morning show with coffee.
Thanks for lurking! ;) And thanks for coming out to comment, we appreciate it! As for seeing her in the water, it's a long way to go but that's what keeps us motivated to work every day!
Fab progress, it's slowly all coming together..... would be great to hear how you are tracking against your original project plan once you've put the outer frame/hull completely together
Just a thought you also write books you could add a link in your videos to where to order them. I think fans of this channel would love to own some especially any autographed versions. I do not think that it will propel you to the top of the New York Times best sellers list bur even if it sells one more book thar is a few cents in your pocket.
At first I was thinking that some longitudinal kerfs would aid in the panels installation, but you pointed out that the panel would conform to the twist just by the passage of time, that saved having to in-fill the kerfs. Why did those chamfer panels have to be so big? Couldn't they have been broken up into three sections to make fitment easier? Thanks for the birds eye view shot at the beginning, that reminded me of just how large the cat is.
Those bow chamfer panels are a problem, one that I will be addressing with Schionning for future buyers. We aren't the only 1520 who had difficulty installing those panels. You're welcome for the shot of the boat. We just had a friend stop by the lot who has only watched our videos. His first comment is, the boat is even bigger looking in person!
@@SailingSVLynx Thanks for the reply. I hope Schionning comes up with a solution for those large chamfer panels in the future, they probably will, I get the impression that they are pretty responsive.
Before the technique: sanding & fairing, now fitting & tabbing was a slower process and now just confidently blowing through it. 14:48 Your second build should be twice as fast 😳
hi, friend! It seems that the cat is taking shape! I suppose that once the main part of the structure is built, the most important points will still need to be reinforced with more layers of fiberglass, because normally I always see you settle for two layers of fiberglass in all the joints. I would recommend that you reinforce the cat as soon as possible and then apply UV protection, since the summer that the entire structure has suffered in the sun has not been good at all, I think that for safety reasons you should create a strategy to suffer the least damage from the sun in your boat. It is turning out very nice and your dream is taking better shape!
We don't settle for two layers, that's what the Schionning plans call for. However, there are areas we will be reinforcing, also by the plans. We'll keep the boat covered until we can get to fairing, sanding, and painting, but we'll do the outside as soon as possible.
@@SailingSVLynx The truth is that you are working as fast as you can and it is very difficult to do it better than how you are doing it. I assume that you already have the reinforcements planned to apply when possible. I hope that it is already having a nice shape!!!😉
Doubtful, it's the city that stopped us. They aren't likely to change their bureaucracy anytime soon regardless of which party is in Federal office. We'll just get S/V Lynx built the hard way.
Sorry, but showing the tabbing of a deck 60 times in a row doesn't make for an interesting video either. Building a boat is a lot of repetitious work at times. We do the best we can.
