That totally fits Mixmkr's MO.
What are you working on here Andy?
Removing some square footage from the leech of a regular sized Sunfish sail. In the original photo above I'm setting up to make a curving pencil mark along the slightly bent PVC tubing before hot knifing through the sail. Making a curved cut where the new leech is going to be allows the leech to be tight and with no fluttering even though you don't have any battens.What are you working on here Andy?
The train table was built by my Dad over the last twenty years. He started it in Florida and slowly moved it up to Wisconsin. It was his plan to spend half the year up there but he had a business to run and he was never able to work from Wisconsin. As an "N" scale modeler myself, I had wanted to work on it with him but we ran out of time. If I ever am able to spend a lot of time there, I may reduce the size and finish it at some point.what did you do to that poor train table?
It is N scale but takes up half the garage. Even I wouldn't want it to be as big as it is, we might need the room for a snowmobile or something! I'm thinking of adding a bathroom in the south side of this garage.Change it over to N Scale.
Snapped from my GoPro knockoff moments before a near capsize in 28mph winds on Sunday in Orchard Lake. The boom and camera went under but avoided capsizing. Fun day.Share the last boat picture you took...
There is more to that story, I'm sure, Andy... do you want to share?
Jealous... I'm looking for a minfish. Nice!My most recent Minifish photo
Oops. I see you explained more already in subsequent posts. Interesting sails surgery there... do you have a license for thatThere is more to that story, I'm sure, Andy... do you want to share?
As a first step, shouldn't the boat be on the trolley rather than the gravelTrying to figure out solo launching and returning in Lake Erie.
"Geezer-rigged" tend to be "tender".From my first time ever sailing last weekend on the beater of a sunfish ive been fixing up had a great time and only nearly capsized once haha
Topper.Yeah, but what is it?![]()
Nice colors!Just finished repainting the desk on my '85 Sunfish and took it out on it's maiden voyage yesterday. I almost slid off while tacking.Hopefully, I can finish the hull over the winter.
Thank you,gzblack2 Good job! Is that a Widgeon?
Norcalsail what did you do to that poor train table?
Nice colors!
I especially like the idea of running the tie down straps through a pool noodle. That should give a snug-but-not-too-snug ride with the side benefit of giving your booms/sail/mast a place to rest comfortably while traveling.
I suggest rigging the boat on the dolly, not the gravel!Just got this Laser. Trying to figure out solo launching and returning in Lake Erie. View attachment 41169
