The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.
Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

I finished painting my HM19 yesterday - after 21 months of work. I have put some pictures in my Builders Gallery. When I rolled the boat out of the garage all the neighborhood kids swarmed. Here is a picture:
I modified the sides of the pilot house - making it more open. Per Jacques direction I left 3" of plywood on all sides of the opening.
Ralph,
Nice going, and the kids give a perspective to the size of the boat. Yes the bright details looks very special.
It looks like one of those trick pictures. How many kids are in the picture? The first time I looked I saw three, then another then another…I see 6 people on or in the boat. Am I right?
If that kid at the back can kick hard you may not need get a motor.
Fantastic! I wish I had the room and the time to build a fleet of boats. I'm glad I at least get to see what others are producing. Can't wait to see it on the water.
