A close look at the Bill Crealock designed 36' ketch. Follow the refit. Friday, May 9, 2014. The Rack . a lesson in measure first. My wife wanted a rack in the galley that would hold bottles of cleaner and a sponge. I thought " no problem". So i went into the galley to measure the LENGTH of the rack, but did not measure how far out it would stick. Sure it'll fit. So off to work I go. Hmmm. First a drawing. I got carried away. I wanted it to look nice. From update 10 1 2012. From update 10 1 2012. Latest ...

Yes I give her full credit as I could not see it myself. As soon as she began to describe the latch Idea she had, I figured it out as how to build it. So here it is. You can retrofit your boat, or better yet, make new doors and latches for your boat, as you will see that I had to. The back of the door. I needed to buil...

Maybe, maybe not. The easy part is making the finished part. The hardest part is making the plug. Plug? The plug is a representation of the actual part you wish to make. It may be complicated or simple. Either way, it will involve a lot of work. In order of hardest to easiest to do: plug-mold-part. So, here I...

A close look at the Bill Crealock designed 36' ketch. Follow the refit. Monday, April 28, 2014. As you will see this in more of my posts to follow, I thought I would get this out of the way now. I designed and built this torsion box table to handle any load and still remain flat. I was using doors, but they would not hold up in our very humid climate here in Florida. Then I could bolt them together for a very large table. It has interior webbing made of plywood dadoed into the top and bottom pieces.

A close look at the Bill Crealock designed 36' ketch. Follow the refit. Saturday, May 10, 2014. New teak grate for shower. I needed to replace the shower grate as it was broken at the angle corner. I had tried to repair it, but because of the design it really was a design flaw. So I needed a new one of a different design. From update 10 1 2012. I had to angle the ends of the new teak pieces so they would fit the fiberglass liner. A later picture will show this up close. From update 10 1 2012. Small Boat ...

A close look at the Bill Crealock designed 36' ketch. Follow the refit. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Working wooden boats are not DEAD. In Apalachicola Florida, real wooden work boats still exist and are still being built new. This is for the oystering fishery. Made from mostly pressure treated plywood and lumber from the local hardware/lumber store. They use things like parts of auto engines for anchors. On with the show. The following boat was built for the museum, but identical to actual working boats.

A close look at the Bill Crealock designed 36' ketch. Follow the refit. Tuesday, November 8, 2011. In The Bilge. The Sump. I needed to add a separate sump to our grey water system. I have a store bought sump from Rule in the forward end of the bilge for the head and shower, but needed one to handle everything else including it. At a $100 bucks or more for one of these plastic boxes, I figured I could make one for a lot less. I used 1/4 inch bolts for the lid. Insert them as you make the box. I mounted it...
