Not to cool to boot somebody for their actions outside the group. All the groups I am in come to the same email and I don't really distinguish between them....
A propos of nothing, looking at these pics (took me a while, had to join the group first and be approved) reminds me that the Eeek!/Anhinga- style double-ended...
I'm surprised that AS19 doesn't go faster than 4.4 knots. My Jewelbox, Jr. with a similar hull shape and much shorter waterline length does better than that....
Hi Gene, ... They may well mate, but as I don't have either plan I couldn't be sure about the ease of that. PCB&F have said that they haven't upgraded the LM...
Oh, boy. How I've been scheeming up a long slim hulled EeeK!amaran. Yes! Why wouldn't that work. Not as good a hull shape as some more modern sophisticated...
Hi Dave, Of course I would sell them (or just give them away depending on how much work I put into them). If I just do offset tables, you would need the Payson...
Hi John, ... That seems to accord with what Ryerson found for his Windsprint Tri. IIRC beam seemed the greatest limiter, but the large rocker pushed up too big...
Hi Kristine, I have seen the cartoon of the shortened Sneakeasy. To me it just doesn't look right with a 48" beam when it is shortened that much. Not...
To go without motor; or not? Not meant as brick throwing, but... really... I ask you, BRICK... rowing? It's pull on the oars and there's a surge forward, then...
Hello all, I think I'm back not sure? I was able to post pics of the light schooner which is close to completion. But earlier non of my posts made it to the...
Hello all, Above ^ "This is a spam-free, on topic group - pretty much anything boating, design, or building related is fair game" I'm not the judge of what the...
I Stretched a Bolger "BEE" ( the test bed for the box keel) to 10 feet and I added the beavertails to finish at 11' 6"; it ran at 18knts with 8hrs Honda. I put...
Weight matters, and I bet Jewelbox is quite a bit lighter that AS19. Michalak tends to design light compared to Bolger, in general. --Rob Re: Shorthanded...
Graeme, I life near the Chesapeake, up the Patuxent River. Lots of shallows and some good thunderstorms. Off the summer season it can get cold and wet. I'd...
FYI Steve Bosquette built a Mini-Sneakeasy and brought it to the 2005 Kingston Messabout. I've a pic of it in my Flikr account. See http://tinyurl.com/25yyef ....
I have been on many boatbuilding forums in the past. The ones I enjoy most are the ones where people EXPLORE various methods of boatbuilding. I enjoy building...

Gentlemen, I do have to clarify my statement about boat speed: I do not have a GPS or any other speed measuring equipment; I don't even sail with a watch. The...
... Way to go - tide, sun, sky... Hi Cabbie: Thanks much for the update. I gather from that reaching performance in less than 10 knots that one of the single...
Bruce, Very nice :-) The perspective view from below shows a shape, to my eye, that would be at home amongst the large marine mammals in the bays, and offshore...
Just a thought: PCB cites here and there some drawbacks to those articulating types of leeboards. I've wondered about irritation due to them working, broken...
Thanks A couple of questions.. Have you built the boat before? Would the extra with make it more stable. Can a boat be built without resin & glass cloth? What...
In NMHO it lost all of sneakeasy's charm & class Dave ... Hi Bryant, Cute little boat but I think a little too small for the waves in the bay. Ron ... Sick...
The bottom of the box Keel was ½ inch, all else was ¼ inch. I only glassed the outboard faces with 4 oz. I put in longitudinal seats of ¼ ply spaced 1 ½...
