Hi Big Motor Bike,
With Aussies and K1W1's you always look for the Humor or Barb, Not all of us are like me, who try to Bludgeon you to death with a joke. Some just happen to be a little Dry or Subtle.

ok didnt like my back rest so its off to the recycle bin... new one is built and ready to go.. going to pick up 2 windsurf masts today. hoping to use one as a boom. been ripping the stiching out of my sail so its a little closer.. pics soon....

I recall the border going across the lake. the bit of lake to the north may be in Nevada. dont forget the book was written in the early 70's and the access point to the lake may have changed

ok pictures

lets try now ..pics of finnished seat

Looks awesome!!!

methinks you have done this kinda thing before....[}:)]

Bloody YANKS. Just for once, to make me feel better, can you turn out something that isn't so Anal on Production Finish???? Just a little rough would do..[}:)]

That is one nicely finished Mini. It seems a pity that it should be used. Just put it in a Glass Case to be admired..

If it goes half as good as it looks you are in for a great time.
Nice!
Ron

Geez thats is a work of art!!!!!

Nicely finished and very apt name.

Good onya.

thanx for all the kind words....... brought a tear to my eye! NOT>>>> it is a very fun project with all aspects of building.. metal / wood/ fabric/ i am looking forward to the maiden voyage... ?? Question? and do you crack a bottle of some spirits over the bow ? A christening? i am checking out misfit flats in Nevada as maybe the spot.....
you should see my new seatbelt... looks nice.... got another block for my rigging.
just gotta do a little sewing and figure out a boom.. I have a few extra masts but was thinking of doing a wood one .possible 12mm ply with some hickory stringers..
it would look something like my hull with some lighting holes.... ok... more to come soon..... thanx again bugeye

Holey Boom! Strewth that sounds like an exclamation! or perhaps a Papal Bellow[}:)]

Dont forget that a wooden mast would have to survive this on a regular occassion
if you want to sail Misfits Flat, have a chat to dennis Bassano, NALSA, I believe he bought the property that has the lake on it, when the opportunity arose

Misfit Flat belongs to Lester Robinson les@cmsrno.com although Dennis would have been able to steer you to them. Don't know if they are doing Friday night races right now or not. It is the windy season! www.nalsa.org/events.htm the schedule has phone numbers.

not sure about east coast? ice sailing probably

So that is where the term "Getting on the Source" came from??
