Looks like you got it figured out.
Kinda small fins, does it hold in well?
Kinda small fillet holding the fins on. Is it half a rope?
Nice.
Beautiful board. I missed it the first time around because I wasn’t recieving pictures. What type of wood are the fins make of? Neat board, Paul. Mike
Thats a neat looking board… I noticed the screw on the front. I assume that’s your vent plug. I have my board is channeled for a vent plug in the nose. I haven’t decided what to use yet. I thought of a brass threaded insert with a 10-32 stainless steel screw and an o-ring. That should work right?? What did you use??
sounds like a killer session paul. sweet job on the board; looks great like everything you build.

Those are some giant pics! I can even see my own reflection in the gloss finish. Nice work.
truely one of your finer outlines to date.
Comunion with a personal best board is
the top!
add a verse to the cole porter song
“You’re the top”
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
and in this case
an inspiration to us all.
My fantasies run wild
at the thought of the balsa 8’ stick in my back room…
only 2 1/2’’ x 3’’
but the fine joined filets
dance in my head like
sugarplums
in the night before xmas poem.
when I breathe I can almost taste the westport spray.
thanks paul
…ambrose…
and fun to carry at a run
What are the two kinds of woods you used to build the rails? Also is the seam where they meet only in the nose?
Beautiful
A truly unique and beautiful shape Paul. Looks like a mix between a hull type outline and a fish. I would love to give it a try. I definitely appreciate the effort put into rounding that nose with the poplar /cork rail. Craftmanship. the weight is right in there as well. What is you interior configuration like? thanks for the post.
Kinda small fins, does it hold in well?
Yeah…
Kinda small fillet holding the fins on. Is it half a rope?
No, with epoxy, I find that fin rope just doesn’t wet out clear…I stranded some e-cloth…Followed by woven…
What type of wood are the fins make of?
Zebrawood…
I assume that’s your vent plug.What did you use??
A brass “Binding Post” for the base, with a cross drilled 8/32 screw…O-ring between…
Those are some giant pics!
Yeah…What happened…???..
What are the two kinds of woods you used to build the rails?
3/16 sheet cork (Bulletin Board material) and 1/8" Lite Ply (Bending Plywood)…
Also is the seam where they meet only in the nose?
No they are staggered around the board…
What is you interior configuration like?
1/4" luan plywood stringer and cross ribs…
I routered out the frame after the deck & bottom were on…Worked great, less frame deflection…
Who does your lawn?
Ever thought about making the ribs out of EPS to save another 2 lbs or so? Or are you a foam-hater and/or wood purist?
