Re: help with boat ID
Hi Rupert
Seller says 1960 14ft classic boat, doesn't know what it is, doesn't have a mainsail. Aluminum mast, wood boom. That's all I have
one other view
thanks

Can anyone help identify this boat? 14 ft, located in Canada (in case it's a weird colonial boat).

osprey?
Is this an osprey? Not sure I have the space for another big boat but it's local and it's not too expensive http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/rlmungo/junk/_20-2.jpg http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/rlmungo/junk/_20-4.jpg http://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt213/rlmungo/junk/_20-3.jpg ...

Re: Stern sheeted jollyboat
I wish I had the boom bits to complete the roller reefing. I gather not very effective but still would be nice to reincarnate. Having never seen the boom I don't know what they even look like.

Re: Stern sheeted jollyboat
For those who have followed my painfully slow introduction into wood boats. It's almost complete. It has a deck, a substantial challenge. The only new wood is the deck (and not very attractive ply regretfully, but all that was available), the cheek plates, a new stern deck beam and the top of the tr...

Re: Stern sheeted jollyboat
Thanks all. Looking at the transom in one of the pics, there are the holes... Thanks Ed. I'll drill it from inside the boat and search my screw cache for a long thin bolt. The wider holes are screws that support the inner gunwales.

Stern sheeted jollyboat
Can anyone help with how the traveller (I am not good with the names of boat bits) is attached on a jollyboat. There are two holes through the legs (arms?) that insert into the transom, and there are two holes that align in the inside of the transom. It looks like there might be a nut inside the tra...

Re: Clear penetrating epoxy sealer
I used S1 sealer from system three on the jollyboat http://www.systemthree.com/store/pc/S-1-Sealer-c32.htm . I sealed a piece of marine ply with 3 coats then cut it with a saw to gauge penetration. It doesn't penetrate very far, certainly not 0.25 mm (maybe 1/10th that?) on good firm wood. It cannot...

Re: Naive question
Ok..... .?? That's a lot of adjustable things... I hear the beer store calling me. Maybe I'll pm you and spare everyone else... I'm feeling decidedly intimidated by string. No wonder the colonies embraced canoes (the paddling type) Any simple websites on how a boat works? I have really dumb question...

I have to say without the decks the boat was despairingly fragile. With decks back on it is much more solid, there is hope. I sure wish I knew what I was doing....

Re: Naive question
Thanks Is there some bit that fits on the rail? This is probably really stupid but why have a rail? Why not a simple pulley or whatever you call a wheel like thing.... Is it important to move fore aft? The jib sheet is similar is it simple ergonomics, angles etc? Sorry to be his dumb, just wondering...

Re: Ply for Albacore hull repair
Kind of late into this... I think if the wood is similar the colours seem to blend in well with time, even after being finished. My repairs were done with Agba that I gather was original from Fairey (Garry sent it to me). It was very light compared to what was on my boat. The repair when first done ...
