I finished the keel of fafnir, 260 kilos. I used
scrap metal in a mold then poured lead to make the breeks. Pictures

It is basically the skeleton of the (still) forthcoming book "Wooden
Workboats of Viet Nam" I've been working on for the past
five years. A lot of the photos and the basic thread of the thesis
are there. My Lady Wife has done a lovely job at putting all my
stuff together on the site. . .I'm tickled. Ken Preston

I added some pics to the photos section, under
the title "Rushton's
Igo Canoe". She's a SOF modification of Rushton's
Igo design - a more stable hull shape than either the similar
Ugo or the Arkansaw Traveller. 15' x 30" with Western Red
Cedar stringers, steam bent Ash ribs, Redwood trim and a tough,
heavy gauge vinyl skin.

My daughter sent me this link, excerpt from a
BBC series. They have stuff on British TV
that folks like us would love to see but never will.

Barry Long is a professional picture guy and sailor. Here is his
collection of hundreds of pictures taken, you may even see me
in some of them. He's trying to finish up two of the smaller 13
foot "training" melonseeds. You'll see them there this
year.

Wanna see a spectacular death roll? These are the Fremantle guys from South
Afrika. Fantastic bunch of crazy laser sailors. (And you can't
reef those sails; so they are riding their lasers with full sail
up in gusts up to 45 knots! First one is a run from Rockingham
to Fremantle in 35 knots: Very cool pitchpole at :45, Death roll
in background right at 1:15; death roll at 2:18 looks like he
recuperated. Second
vid is fooling around in the harbor with gusts up
to 45 knots. Death roll at 1:38. And who said sailing didn't have
enough action?!? Hajo

DIY drawings for the Lazy Weekend canoe are
up. This is bare bones and free, I am considering
doing a poor imitation of a Storer style downloadable How To manual
and selling it for $20. Does anyone think there'd be interest
in that? (I can't see why anyone would need more than this, but
some people . . .)

5-10mph winds with some hefty gusts here and there....
had to reef the sail, almost ditched a few times. Here's some
video of my PDR towing 2 kayaks! One
and Two.

I recently built a kit version of the 'Janette'
design by John Welsford. My client has a blog of his continuing
assembly, with some recent posts:

If any of you are familiar with my previous method
of doing picture essays, please give me feedback on how you like
this new, everything one one page format. I'd gotten
into making slideshows when most people had dial-up connections
to the internet - having more than one picture on a page increased
download time. I've heard people don't like slideshows any more,
but I don't know if that is true or just 'internet hipsters' complaining.

I was looking on youtube to see if I could find
videos of anyone making a tin canoe ala Robb white and ran across
a group in Australia doing amazing
things with tin by looking at their videos. Looks
dirt cheap and they are having a ball. Wish they would post construction
details.

You might find this website documenting the current
build of a Percy W. Blandford PBK
18 kayak to be of interest for the next Webwatch.
