Tom B. Unfortunately no new updates. Been some delays here in Squirrel Hill, my church has been doing a lot of support for our neighbors and that's been top of the list... I've put on the skeg and spray rails and will be priming everything over the next couple of days. I went ahead and bought the VC...

Thank you both! I will check out the local SW dealer to see what they could do. I guess my main concern is if tinting the stuff will compromise its bonding ability and wear. Given that the stuff comes in white I'll test a sample with the color charts SW uses and see how it looks. I've heard good thi...

In a thread somewhere in here I read that someone said they had tinted Interlux VC Performance Epoxy (which is only sold in white). I want more of a cream color if that's possible for the bottom of my Malahini. The Interlux people do not recommend adding anything to their product. Does anyone here h...

I am most willing to help out with any of the meals as well as do a store run for any items still needed. I have a stand up camp stove with a 20Lb tank that Ill bring to help with the cooking.
Ill be bringing my baklava for some after dinner sweets...

Hi,
I would like to join for lunch. Don't know which boat will have room for me (would love to go in a Malahini to make mental notes for my build)

MALAHINI - under construction
"Happy Dog"

I'm getting ready to fiberglass and then paint my plywood hull after deciding the putty fill holes and ply joints will expose my "basic" knowledge of plywood boat building if I leave it bright. I used a water based stain thinking it would hide those marks but it actually made it look worse. So, whil...

Bill,
I'm planning on being at the gathering. Not sure if "Happy Dog", my boat, will be ready by September but I will be...

Thank you both... also for the advice on using a belt sander. I would have figured that out after ruining a blade on mine.

I am having a hard time bending the 3/4" mahogany (Meranti) chine log on my frames. I was thinking of ripping them, attaching the first one then glue and attach the second piece on that, somewhat like the sheer. Would this present any problems with fairing and or structural strength?

To Skip,

No problem, I'm in #12. I'll be arriving on Thursday. See you there...

Just got off the phone with Hales Bar, I'll be in cabin 12! Can't wait to meet yinz (Pittsburghezz for yu'al)...

Will do. Thanks

Bill and Roberta, I'm planning on being there come hell or high water! Since I've started working on my boat I have a note book full of questions, mahogany dust everywhere and a garage that's now a dedicated boat construction zone (with a few gardening tools and bikes). If there is an open cabin aft...

Hello,
I would very much like to join the lunch if there is an open seat on a boat for Friday. Any boat is a good boat for me! Should I be bringing my own life jacket?
