VG23 deck question

[Jaysen]

The BBCode for a link looks like ...

Code: Select all

This is the [url=https://hisse-et-oh.com/wikiboats/super-serpentaire?f=tc&page=2&q=super-serpentaire]site[/url]

which comes out like

This is the site

I found the pictures of the serpentaire with the top popped around the hatch . I don't know how to post links , but the site is , hisse-et-oh.com/wikiboats/super-serpentaire?f=tc&page=2&q=super-serpentaire . I have also seen some pictures of a couple serpentaire with long cabin versions , you may be able to add a bulkhead one frame back with a popped top version and get galley room or a head space + some head space .

Thanks Rick!! Looks like the same build that is here in full http://4mm4.free.fr/index.htm. I appreciate the space it gives, but don't think it is as clean a design (or as pretty) as the flush-deck original in the plans. Anyway, I'm going to build the five-panel hull first and get the stringers in place, then do some accurate-as-possible testing to see exactly what headroom there is. I'm just under 6' in height, and the missus is the same, and we just want to sit down for dinner (on a thin cushion), without our heads brushing the deck above. It would be horribly frustrating to be one inch too short. Plenty of bawdy sailor jokes I could make about such matters of course, but I'll keep it clean

Anyway, I think I've spec'd out each part of the boat now, and have a lot of bookmarks of things to order and multiple notebooks full of notes/sketches/calculations. I think I have the entire design more-or-less in my head and/or on paper, and what I think is a pretty accurate total cost. All in all the VG23 is a wonderful design. A few decisions to make along the way of course, but it will happen. Can't wait to get home now and start building. Thanks for following along.

Cheers,

Mick

PS To include the hyperlink I copied and pasted the address into this reply, highlighted it, and hit the "link" icon (to the right of the image icon in the menu bar). I see Jaysen also just posted the appropriate code if you want to do it by hand.
