Clipper's Vera Cruise Build: I Now Have a Boat! Skinning Completed
http://veracruise.blogspot.com/2015/06/i-now-have-boat-skinning-completed.html
Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Documenting the construction of a classically styled Glen L Marine cabin cruiser named "Some Other Time". Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Wednesday, June 17, 2015. I Now Have a Boat! Well, technically, I have a boat. She wouldn't sink (immediately) but she also wouldn't last long in her current condition. But that's okay, because another major milestone has been reached and I am happy. Rather than get all long winded, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves for most of this.

Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Documenting the construction of a classically styled Glen L Marine cabin cruiser named "Some Other Time". Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Sunday, September 7, 2014. More Fairing And Struggling For Material. One of the challenges of writing a blog is finding enough material to write about. I believe this problem occurs for all forms of writing. For me it also manifests itself in my lack of participation in the Glen L builder's forum. Another challenge I face personally is worryin...

Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Documenting the construction of a classically styled Glen L Marine cabin cruiser named "Some Other Time". Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Did Someone Say Sanding? This is just a short blog because I've been doing nothing except sanding. Before applying the fiberglass, I want to insure that the exterior hull surface is relatively flat. I only have two photos this time, one of me sanding. It doesn't show me in a flattering light, but what the heck! The othe...

Transom And Other Miscellaneous Work. Most of these last couple of weeks has been devoted to working on the mahogany veneer for the transom although I did take several days off to have a mini vacation. The transom veneer is a repetitive process of fitting a plank, gluing it into position, removing staples, sanding down...

Miscellaneous Hull Work - Part 2. There will be plenty more of this later after the fiberglass in in place, but that's for a future blog entry. For the next attempt, I purchased a 1/8" sample of mahogany from Woodcraft. The material was somewhat less dense than the veneer material. I placed it in a a plastic tub...As yo...

Here are several photos showing the final work. All of this prep work was so that I could start adding the bottom skins. And indeed, today I endeavor...

Here are some more shots of the longitudinals during the encapsulation process. In the shot above with the breasthook, I am still planing on adding an additional piece on the aft end of the breasthook. Therefore, this edge is not being encapsulated. Carl (a.k.a. Clipper).

Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Documenting the construction of a classically styled Glen L Marine cabin cruiser named "Some Other Time". Clipper's Vera Cruise Build. Sunday, August 24, 2014. More Fairing At The Bow. The tool was clamped to the chine so it wouldn't move and then I used the tool as a guide for my Japanese pull saw to cut slits. These slits would be cut until the blade reached the center line of the stem and was also parallel and just up to the chine surface. In this area, the chine is no lon...
