Congratulations to Richard Whitney Dear
John, I
recently completed construction of an 8' classic dinghy and would like to order
a hull identification plate. Enclosed is a check for $20.00.
I ordered the plans in September 2001, began construction in October 2001
and finished this month. I chose
the 8' design because the dinghy will be used as a yacht tender. The boat
is constructed of red cedar (stained mahogany red) with mahogany seats and trim.
The center seat is removable while the forward and aft seats are foam
filled (for flotation) and permanent. The only real construction problem I
experienced was making the turn at the chine (from side to bottom) in the center
of the boat. The curvature required the strips to twist and bend simultaneously
and they invariably broke every time. (this might have been prevented if I had a
way to steam them) I overcame this by splicing the strips Sincerely, Richard M. Whitney rwhit323@aol.com
