    Thanks mate, must say that the work on the Nova is most theraputic, when I can get at it.

    Yesterday I got the outside of the new dash surround glassed. Two layers of 600grm double bias E glass should be enough.

    This week I decided to lift the Nova off the trailer. I had moved the trailer bunks forward when I moved the boat forward some time ago. What I was not able to do was to drill and bolt the bunks in their new location due to the V of the hull stopping me being able to get the drill in.

    When I built the boat shed I had to some extent over built it. So I stropped the rear pod/boarding platform, put another strop amid ships and a further one closer to the bow. My son gave me a hard time about what I was proposing to do but being my usual independent self I carried on.

    This was to be a good test for the pod/platform and the shed structure. So I tensioned up the strops and lifted it some 3 inches off the trailer beds. I then moved the trailer out of the shed, filled the old holes in the beds and used linseed oil to seal up the exposed timber in the new holes I drilled. So she is now all bolted up tight and back under the boat.

    Lowering the boat back onto the trailer was easy and due to the imminent paint work I have set it back on the trailer to aid masking etc.

    It was nice to see the shed was up to the task. Note to self. Remember to tell the son he needs to have a little faith in the "old man".

    So the boat is progressing if somewhat slower than I would like. I am keen to see the paint go on.

    Now thats funny!
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    Thought I had better resurrect this thread and get this boat finished. I have my life more on an even keel now so a final push to completion for the Nova. Yesterday I started the teak veneer for the boarding platform. I will post up some pics along the way so you guys can see how it is done. Gives a nice result and nothing like using real Teak timber.

    My apologies for the delays.......

    Frank, thanks for posting up those "old" photo's, I had forgotten what great photo's they are. Kinda looking a lot different than as she is now, just languishing in the shed. What a pretty boat, her day will come again.

    Got some time in today, starting on the Teak veneer on the boarding platform. So the process is that first I fitted and glued Teak on the vertical surface around the outside of the boarding platform. This is then followed by the Teak boarder, the first sections of veneer which go right around the outside of the platform. Accurate cutting with a good saw is critical. So as the photo's show we now have a complete border cut and fitted around the platform. During the week I hope to get this glued down so next weekend we can look to fitting the slats. I have included a couple of other photo's to bring us up to date. They show the section of transom under the boarding platform and the dash area.
