Don't Reinvent the Wheel - August 29, 2007

I found two sites that gentlemen put together that should answer questions that I have as to what the boat looks like with peices removed. http://www.sailboatowners.com/upload/display.tpl?folder=73140477494&fno=79

My first chore is to find materials that Chris and I will need. (Chris is my son who is going to help). I need to find two 3/8 inch marine plywood. One guy locally said he could order and will call. Also the has teak sheets, but could not get to them.

Spoke to a gentleman that came to the house with his wife to have Pat do some embroidery. We talked and found that in the past he worked for Hatteras (Wellcraft). Interesting, Hatteras did not us marine plywood except in stringers, they use OSB.

I spoke the group on sailnet.com, thanks guys, who gave me leads for plywood: (If you are a serious sailer, this is the group to join, again serious but at time light and no bull$#%^ is tolerated)

This is going to help as long as the health stays fair,

So it goes. So much for now. This is going to be so slow.
