Dear All, I am a member of this group for short time. My aim was how to build CH21. In parallel I was building my own design boat and it is just finished,...
Hi Sarikaya, I choose the CH21 because it looks good (traditionnal design), it is easy to build, it is cheap for this kind of boat and I like boat with ...
Hi, you all! I hope I will feel at home in this forum. I am gathering documentation and building experiences before the decision of starting a new DYI...
Hi Sarikaya, I chose the Cape Henry 21 for several reasons, after studying a wide variety of designs. I wanted to build a boat in the 18 to 21-foot length as...
Hi Sarikaya, I think the last couple of members of the group have very elegantly described the attributes of the Cape Henry 21. I have only one thing to add -...
Ed has said it perfectly; all that he said is what I would have said had I gone first. Mehalah is now on the water at Norwalk Yacht Club; photos are on...

Hi there, I am building the Cape Cutter 19 - the same as the Cape Henry 21 but fractionally smaller, hence my being part of this group - and I spent a few...
Bravo Ian ! You did a really good job. Your CC19 looks nice. Jean-Hervé. _____________________________________________________________________________ Envoyez...
Cheers for that Jean-Herv. Pretty boats do wonders for the soul, don't they? And Dudley has come up with a winner here. Makes all that work worthwhile! Ian ...
... A mighty job! You sure made it look easy with your mates--and good Kiwi beer. Now comes the really fun part, fitting out the deck and interior. Do you...
Thanks Ed. When anyone asks me about a launch date I reply, 'on or about the eleventh!' That's it, I don't do deadlines very well any more and there seem to be...
Hi Ian, As to fillets, I've been laying them in bit by bit as I go along. It may be the Scots-Irish blood in me, but I hate to waste a speck of expensive...
Hi Ed, I share at least two things with you apart from the strange obsession to build a wee sailboat and those are; some Scots ancestry and the extreme...
Hello every body I am looking for a boat such as CH21 or CC19. I live in France (Corsica : Mditeranean coast) I would like to know what is the CE building ...
Ed I believe you could certainly use lanyards threaded several loops thru a thimble spliced into the bottom ends of your shrouds, instead a turnbuckles. At...

Hi guys, I am sorry, my last reply came out as one word only, which was not what I intended. I had meant to say simply that this 'homologation' is a word only...
Hi guys, I wondered what those of you who have got to that part of the construction were doing (or have done) about lead ballast. I shall need to be doing that...

Hi Ian - I agree lead shot is very expensive. When I bought about 800 lbs of very small lead shot the price was $1 per pound; it is now about $1.60 per lb....
That sounds like a good way to go Mike - though, as you say, Gary said he'd go for lead shot if he were doing it again. As you know, mine is the littler sister...
