: It was a great weekend for building. Also great for eating turkey. I took the
: advice of many on the board and put down a paper pattern for the deck
: "swoops" on the new Guillemot. The heat gun came in handy in
: bending some of the strips. I was able to strip the entire hull and deck
: over the weekend and am almost done with the cockpit surround. For details
: and the building log, see the link below:
Holy cow, Rick, that's speedy!!! I thought Kent LeBoutillier was fast...
Make sure your coaming is recessed enough...if not, consider a "King style" recess. The Guillemot rolls nicely--for me (I'm 6'-6", and I can touch my head and shoulders to the back deck.) I boo-booed and made my Guillemot 18 an inch higher in the deck. Bad idea--laybacks much tougher with just that one extra inch. Major surgery to happen this winter after the Cormorant hits the water.
