Thanks for the photo. It will now hang it with pride, and look at it in awe, near where I'm building his Auray Punt. Les Far North Queensland. [Non-text...
I'm getting a hull ready for glass and paint, using peel ply to save sanding. I am longboarding the hull and can't decide wether to fair with filler then glass...
Here is a suggestion based on my own experience. It is really hard to see the imperfections in the hull with the boat inside a shed and it's equally hard to...
I'm building outside in sunlight. I cover it over for rain and night. My preference is to sand, epoxy/glass the hull, fill the waves, sand, epoxy last coat,...
Bruce when I was working at Uniflite I worked on the tooling shop for a bit and the rules there were get the plug as close to what they wanted before the skin...
That's what I'm going to do. I checked West Systems site and they suggest the same thing. I guess I'm anxious to hit the water and looking for a short cut. I...
Sorry for the non-Bolger references, but here are 2 examples of using stiff plastic film to achieve a significant savings in finishing labor and time. One is a...
My father a Master Shipwright, used a low angle light to profile the imperfections, I find that works as well or better than taking outside. You will find high...
I did make a bracket to mount a trolling motor on my Junebug. I used 2 x 4 lumber, and 2 3-inch C-clamps. I bought a 30 lb. thrust Minn Kota Endura 30 ...
To drain my Junebug I settled upon a plastic screw-in drain, made by Ronstan, sold for about $5. I've posted 3 photos on my website. One shows the plug...
I used a group 24 deep cycle battery, sold at a local Dunham's sporting goods store, under the Minn Kota brand name, for about $70. I set the battery in a...
I have faired many a kayak and we most always fair first then glass, you end up with a greater chance of a uniform surface coating and the chance of cutting...
Some times we make things to complicated I think. Drilled a 3/4 hole, filled it with resin, drilled a 1/2 hole in the center, used a 7/16 nut & bolt with 2...
I found the same solution for a drain plug in much the same location. I used bolts but with countersunk heads underneath and the nuts on the inside. Much more...
Go to Glen-L and take a look at thier trolling moter powered kayak. Much neater layout. Poweryak http://www.boatdesigns.com/products.asp?dept=484 electric...
Well, the trolling motor remote setup in my photos is of the Mark I model. Next time I do it, it'll probably look neater! ;o) The Glen-L trolling motor remote...
Mike That is a great idea. Wish I'd thought of it. Mike Galvin I found the same solution for a drain plug in much the same location. I used bolts but with...
I have been perusing BWAOM and came across the Leeboard Catboat (Chapter 67, page 358) and was quite taken with the design. I searched previous posts to get...

PB&F report some movement in the latest MAIB. More power to the PB&F collective arm. At the least they're trying, and to overcome the surrounding inertia and...
I've fax 3 times to Bolger and haven't received any response. 978-282-1349 is the fax number I used. Does anyone have a different number, or any idea of the...
... I'm not sure if you got an answer on this. At least one boat was built to the Leeboard Catboat design. It was from the west coast of the US, and very...
Bruce, Your renderings are GREAT! What program do you use? Thanks, Doug Griggs (just joined, built a Nymph 21 years ago) ... [Non-text portions of this...
It's satisfying to find if at some time PCB makes public an answer to some problem or other he'd earlier posited, pondered, and then kinda left unresolved....
