DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS...
We would love to hear about your boat, or the type of boat you work with. Pictures
will be welcomed too.
The pages in this section are:
Cold Mould: Proponents of the cold moulded hull get this page to themselves.
Give us the low-down on construction techniques and serious stuff like that but
don't forget to tell us the funny stories either...
Concrete Evidence: If yours is
a concrete boat, this page is for you. "Make mine a rubble" we once heard a fellow sailor mutter as his home-built beauty hit the jetty at 2 knots. Did it?
Not at all, the jetty fell to pieces but the boat was unscathed!
Plastic Fantastic: The page for fibreglass boat enthusiasts. The traditionalists may sneer but, while the plastic boat owner is sipping a sundowner at the local bar, some yacht owners are still hard at work sanding and varnishing...
Show Your Metal: Whether your kind of boat is iron, steel, aluminium or some other metal this is the page where you can talk and read about it. Heard the one about the two boats heading for a collision? "I'm on a starboard tack" said the fibreglass yachtsman. "This is a steel boat" said the other guy " do what you like "!
Steel Boat is our Technical Editor's special favourite...he dreams of seeing its
name changed to The Steel Boat Section...Who knows? You may be able to help him
make his dream come true.
Wooden Boat: Specifically
of the classic kind. If you own or work with a traditional wooden boat or are an enthusiast, even an armchair one, this page is for you.
Tell us of the classic yachts and ships built by you, or with your help, or that
you have watched being built and launched. Share sources and resources with
other restorers and repairers. Exchange ideas and tips...
