    Well In have start3ed marking the Graf Spee hull for cutting. I will pick up some re-inforced dremel cutting disks this week. I have one marked out. With 18 1/4 inch ribs and a 1/8 stringer. I will post pictures once both sides are marked.

    Paul,
    How many boats do you have in your fleet? I bet you have a bunch of build time come winters in Cunukistan.....

    Rob the fleet consists of: the completed and running Prinz Eugen. The South Carolina which will be a runner only. The Sodak which needs some work to be completed as there are issues with shaft placement. The HMCS Priince Robert which is just a cut hull and the Graf Spee. I am hoping to get the hull cut and start work to have it completed by next spring.

    Glad to hear the Graf Spee is going to the shipyards. Better than the Breakers Yard I say.
