    Aye, figures that I'd finally break down and purchase her. Now it's a lot of hands-on work to get everything back in order.

    I'm thinking of making a mini-documentary about the repair of the ship and her first sorties. Of course, I'm not interested in hogging the limelight, and I'd gladly follow the other builds going on here in Fredericton as well. Once I've got all of the shots I need, I'll tie them up in a (hopefully) nice package and see where I can send it. Maybe it will lead to a larger and more professional project, but that would take a lot of luck...

    Can't wait til they are both on the water and destroying the axis fleet together. I have a set of plans for her if you need them.

    Sounds great, I believe I need some. By the way, any tips for building her?

    I will copy them on Friday but I will need your address. Email it to me and I will send them. The only tip I can give you is to listen to Craig, Chris and all the other veteran members. I tried to do that ship on my own and it didn't workout for me.

    Good advice Chuck, we'll try to steer Bob2 the right way. Bob2... are you still good to go for Thursday? We are clear after noon, I can pick you up. I need to do some resining so I hope it will be good that day for that. I have left over fiberglass from cutting out Graf.... I wonder if we can do jigger work to yours to get her right..... hmmmmmm German parts on an English ship..... Excellent!

    Chuck Bob and I fixed the ribs and windows, the hull was sanded inside and out to get it ready for fiberglassing. The only thing left to do is to add the two pieces of fiberglass to the hull and cut out the windows behind the casements, then we are waiting on parts We might order what we all need in the coming months. Another hour or so and the hull will be ready to go.
