Re: AD16 Karenina

Yes Still upside down on a flat bed cradle that I build for it. IT allow me to push it in and out the garage for sanding.

Re: MAHOGANY SUBSTITUTE

You can use white oak or teak but they are too heavy. WRC is too weak for a mast. There is a kind of cedar that can be used but I forgot the name.

Re: Adelie16 from a land down under

I never had a boat but I had a few Honda products in my life and never had any issues with them. Today I drive a Honda FIT to work ( I think is call a Jazz over there) and it has over 120K miles with no issues ( only oil changes, brake pads and tires). I am putting a Honda outboard to Karenina when ...

Re: Adelie16 from a land down under

Looking great. Is nice to show people the space the boat has in the cabin. That's the reason I decided to build this particular sailboat. I notice in your picture that you closed the access to the inside of the seats. Any particular reason for that?

Re: AD16 Karenina

After looking at your drawing i got a better understanding of what you were saying. It is very clever and I like it. 8) the only issue I have that you made them permanent. I know they're stainless steel but even stainless get corrode. What happens if they break for any reason. How you're going to re...

Re: AD16 Karenina

I did notice that Salvatore and was considering doing something similar. Can I ask why the 3/4 piece of wood? It seems like an overkill since the boat is designed with a step mast. Looking at your pictures it looks like you are doing a deck step for your mast, which might explain the stronger support.

Re: AD16 Karenina

That's nice. I like that you sandwich the plexi between two frames. Is more water tight that way. I might do the same.
