That's a bit sexy. If she's ready, I'll test it for you in the JAC12. just fill her up with food and water and stick a wind vane on the end.

That cabin extension/doghouse looks just what I need ....eventually. Very interested in any design and construction details. Have you got a link to a record of your work ?

 

[Poignard]

That looks the business. I hope your careful preparation pays off.

Hi there fine people. I will sail her myself at the 2014 JAC, if everything will go as planed!
About the doghouse/sprayhood... there is no fancy building tecnic. I did some molding, and then cut out the plywood (6mm water resictent) did some framwork, and bolted it in to the deck, the everything was coated in GRP/polyester,fiberglass. Then topcoated with Solar red.
If I could do it, you can! (ps. do the side panels first)
hope to be seeing you at the Jester some day.

Thanks. So glassed over ply; and 6mm is robust and stiff enough with some framing.

 

[evantica]

Yes! Feels strong enough. No doubt!

Just looking at your yacht again. You prob. have it in hand BUT, from my experience. You could do with some STRONG rails down either side of the top of your dog house to hold onto as you go forward.
