 Basic plan came from the Cates. Hull shape and rocker were compared with the 505 and Flying Dutchman and adjusted somewhat so as to have enough rocker. |
 After the shape was determined, an outline was drawn on the garage floor and the bulkheads and keelson were cut. Built a jig to hold it all plumb. |
 Added some plywood, chicken wire and plaster of paris to make a mold. |
 Mold release, Gel with yellow pigment, Cloth - Mat - Cloth. Deck was 1/4" luan and spruce stitched and glued to the hull. PVC added as a rail. |
 Spars were 4" spruce. Cut length wise, one side turned over and end-for-end to mix the grain. Middle hollowed with a skill saw and gouge. Bolt-rope track... cut with skill saw and shaped with a sander. Deck and spars where finely sanded, stained walnut and varnished. |
 Polyfoam to the bottom for floatation and added stiffness. Bow sprint, Jib and Trapeze were added later. Boat didn't need it - we just had to try it out. Kids...I'll tell ya! |
 Here she is - fresh out of the mold. |
