... Mike, my name is Andrew, I live in RI. I am interested in building the CH 21. I would be grateful if I could see your boat, I've been researching boats...
Hi ! My cousin and I have started the building of a Cape Henry 21. Pictures are available at this address : http://picasaweb.google.fr/capehenry21 Does...
Of course I will try to share experiences, that's why I try to take pictures step by step. Before the building (during the studying step) I 've looked for...
Does anyone out there have any little tricks for setting up the transom on the building stocks? Has anyone been successful in taking the angle (I get 73.5...

... cut ... G'Day David, Many thanks for your suggestion. That's an interesting way of going about it. And 'Ida' looks like a real beauty. Cheers, Ed...
Hi Ed. You are right about how hard it is to build the boat in cramped space, and single-handed. I built my hull with the bottom of the (upside down) transom...

Hi Mike, Many thanks for your method of setting up the transom. Using a gate hinge sounds brilliant. You sure do have tight space. I will have about 500mm...
Hi All, great to see these boats being built, I'm seriously considering building one myself, did anyone build from a kit and if so would they recommend the...
hi all! I am new here and as many of you I am thinking of building the CH21. I was wondering if anyone who is sailing or has sailed the CH21 about her sailing...
Hello, This is a long shot... but has anyone started a Cape Henry and got to a stage where life has taken over and you seen no chance of finishing or your...
Greetings All, A progress report: I now have the bulkheads and transom erected, the backbone and stem in, and have sprung in the 22mm fir "trim" pieces on the...
Hi Ed. I did stop by at Bill's yesterday, and agree it's a big boat. I have also seen Gary Wallis' finished boat in the UK, which is beautiful. My build is...
Hi Cape Henry 21ers, I'm at the stringer stage. I installed chine 2 port and starboard first as that pair (and chine 3, which I'll do last) is the easiest ...
Hi Ed, I am building the smaller sister of the Cape Henry, a Cape Cutter 19, which is in all respects the same boat only a wee bit smaller. In chatting to...
Now that the hardy pioneers have turned their hulls--Bill Empsall, Frans Walschots, Mike Smith, Yuri Pikulyk, and of course Gary Wallis who must be happily...
Hallo all, I have just received my plans and plan to start building in about a month. I have all the articles from Watercraft and will probably alter the...
No CH yet. Why? been building a porch this summer. Even then, when I discover something out of square or uneven, Eileen (this is Chad her husband) has to peel...
Ed, Just discovered you live in E. Montpelier. I was there just last weekend and my kids live in Montpelier with their Mom. Sometime when I am in the area I'd...
I too am very interested in seeing a Cape Henry in the flesh. I find matters of scale and heft hard to extrapolate from drawings and pictures. I am actually...
I can't tell where this thread went. However, if the expense of their specialized batteries is factored out, the German made "Torqueedo" and their Lithium...
Here's a brief update on my progress. All the stringers and chines are in and the transom is beveled to take the aft planking. After some pondering and...
Hi Ed. I think you're right in how you're planning to do the planking. I scarfed up and glued together an entire starboard garboard plank, and had a terrible...
Thanks Mike. I have three thicknesses in the backbone from bulkheads A to 2. I will follow your method and add another two thicknesses there where I expect...
back, now that winter has halted work, I came across your comments about the Torqeedo electric outboard and note that in the current issue of the magazine...
Ed I have looked into electric power both inboard and outboard and so far I have deemed it to be impractical unless you only need a small amount of power to...
Hi Theo. This is a very difficult question to answer unless you were building the boat commercially, working on it five days a week. For the amateur home...
