CK17 build thread

After getting the plans for the CK17 over 15 years ago I'm finally in a place where I can start building. Drove over to Boat Builder Central yesterday and picked up all of my marine ply, glass and epoxy. Should be laying out and cutting panels tomorrow. Wish me luck!!

This is next on my build list (assume the boss ever approves). Looking forward to seeing how you do it!

I'm taking the next three weeks off. Hopefully I'll have the hull assembled and glassed in by then and hopefully the paint and rigging shortly after I get back in town. I'll have a week off before I go on vacation and another week or so off after that before I go back to work thru Christmas.

Laid out the dimensions for the hull bottom on the 12mm Meranti.

Got a new toy to help with the build process

Will be using the new bandsaw to rip 2x6 material into battens to mark the curves and to make 1x2s for the cleats and to rip material to laminate the spars and to rough shape the spar taper

Don't know what is going on with my images. I tried using both my google storage and amazon storge share links. it worked yesterday to imbed the image, but neither source is working today when I put the share link between the Image boxes like it did yesterday. you can right click the image and open it in a new tab to view them however.

If you look at the post that worked (use edit) the URL is ugly long compared to your most recent post. That leads me to believe you have the wrong URL in your newer post.

Of particular not is the auth=no parameter. Google may be rejecting embedded request without that parameter existing.
