: Well, the last (very imperfect) coat of varnish went onto the pole
: dancer a few days ago. Just a bit of deck rigging to do and a
: closed cell seat to make, after some sea trials.
: The next one, if it is a good one, is going to the auto body shop.
: I am just not set up for varnishing to a decent standard.
: Anyway, the uv protection is in place.
: A couple of photos follow.
: Since it is an adaption of a Dyson SOF, and, in this adaptation at
: least, not been built before, some of you may be interested in
: its performance. I built it because I enjoy my North Star so
: very much, and wanted to try something in the same line, but I
: seldom build the same boat twice. Visually it looks somewhat
: like the North Star, but it is actually quite different in hull
: shape, with less rocker, a bit more of a flattened V and a
: little more in the chines, etc. Pointless really to have two
: identical boats in the rack.
: I shamelessly cribbed of Rob Macs for the solution to the ends.
: Thanks Rob. We stand on the shoulders of those who went before
: us. It is just as well that you have broad shoulders.
: Finally, though I doubt he will see this, my thanks to George
: Dyson, who was happy to let me mess around with his design and
: who declined remuneration. It is nice to have someone to blame
: if it is a a lemon :)
: I will do a review when I have had it out in various conditions
: Et
Really nice Et, finally got onto a computer where I could see the pictures.
Btw, you already know this but the only one that'll see the imperfections is you, so don't point them out :)
