Rigging and Boom

I wanted a raw/simplistic/castaway feel a little bit.

Decided on a jib. Now what?

Because the mast is literally about 10" from the bow, we'll need a bowsprit.

-Stained Pine (Gunstock:Minwax) and 3 Coats of West System Epoxy.

Couldn't find a suitable bamboo stick for the mast. Had to settle for 12' pine handrail.

-Stained and given 4 coats of Spar Varnish

Next: Walker Bay 8 project sail rig

Built from bamboo. Mast and boom for a Walker Bay 8!
Tiller and Rudder build with Centerboard too.

Little Honu. Hawaiian for "green sea turtle."

First project of 2011!
Charleston, SC

Charleston Harbor and Sail w/dad

Finally! Some Interior Pictures.

Just taken on a rainy January day.

Getting her on the trailer and sea trials

This was a task and quite nerve racking. Considering the countless hours I put into her, I was lucky nothing happened! I swear the three of us men looked and sounded like a bunch of goons trying to get her on the trailer smoothly. It was a blast though!


One last trip to lowes! Thats trip # 36

Painted my little work horse

You can see the primed area (grey) I primed this because it had almost no paint over the bare metal.
Painted the prop just for fun.


The Evinrude 4 - What a champion. Thanks to Huntley Marine for the tune up and carb rebuild.
