Riva Iseo - Trimming to Patterns

The final pieces just about ready to glue to the boat. The original patterns are made from cheap, pliable luan. Remember long ago (by now it seems long ago to me) when I talked about the painstaking process of making patterns out of cheap 1/8″ luan?  My process was to use the 1/8″ luan to make my original patterns because it’s so pliable and easy to carve to shape. But by now, you realize how…

Watercraft restoration is one of those things that seems like it would be cool and fun and rewarding and maybe even lucrative and its just fuckin not.

Its not like auto restoration. No one gives a shit about old boats unless its a six or seven figure solid wood mint condition antique and even then its kinda a crummy boat because it's a damn antique and you have to treat it like one. Not to mention, 6 figures worth of wooden antique is like, an open bow 18ft pleasure craft while that same money buys a brand new 40ft fiberglass yacht.

and while you would think that the actual act of restoration would be satisfying, 60% of a boats value and 95% of a boats problems come from the power systems so most of what you're actually doing is engine work, which is fine by itself but the damn engine is in or on a boat which makes every twice as difficult and magnitudes more disgusting. You think rolling around under a car is bad? What's a little road grime compared to slithering around in a couple inches of filthy stagnating contaminated bilgewater? Or even better, fucking around with outboard units until someone's spine gives out.

Then it's just hunting down issues while convincing yourself not to hunt the previous owner for sport, because the majority of those issues will be either bafflingly stupid decisions, (built in 12 volt charger spliced to a pair of alligator clips and hooked into the fuse panel, in a berth, under a cushion) or straight up neglect. I have now composed a song, a modern sea shanty of sorts, called, never let a man take care of your boat. If he says, it's a good boat, he's never done annual maintenance. If he says, the annual maintenance isn't bad, there are places on that vessel that have never been cleaned.

Not to mention, if the boat is larger than a canoe and small enough to fit within highway oversize restrictions, there's. A Fuckin. Trailer.

Which is actually the point of this post. Somebody bought a trailer out from underneath a junked up 12ft sailboat and I got a new project for free.

my most bitter proposal for a season 2 fix it is that the crew refuses to let ed back on the boat (as they should) so stede throws a tantrum and ultimatums that if ed stays so will he but the crew just take him up on that.

they make their inn in the wreckage of anne + marys house and the crew goes off and continues to have fun hijinks with izzy as the ship parent

I can’t believe the collective, analysing minds of got/asoiaf fans came up with and believed …. boat baby. Not only is it an absolute crack plot, it actively goes against the themes and foreshadowing of the show and the book. Also, what made them think that jon snow of all people will like to have a bastard baby?

SS Nomadic’s lifeboat, the last remaining White Star Line lifeboat in the world. It has been on display onboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach since around 2017. Just recently it has returned to Belfast, hoping to have it displayed near Nomadic. Unfortunately, nobody wanted to display it. So the owners have stripped her of her signage and fittings and they are preparing her for long-term storage.

Is there going to be, in the future, something like a 'star warriors spouse club'? If there is, how would the first meeting go? Would Necro qualify, or is his membership card invalid because he just up and disappeared for a while?

I mean, my man hasn't asked for Cypha's hand just yet. He's waiting until after Nightmare's end to do that, but he fully intends to, much like most of the others.

...There's gonna be a lot of weddings when Nightmare dies lol

As for a 'club' for the married Star Warriors, I don't think that'd be a thing, really. xD Everyone is more focused on their work in stopping Nightmare to really have anything like that. Not to mention they wouldn't want to exclude any of their single friends---that'd be kinda mean. x'D

Even if the war was over they would probably still just do business as usual; even in their current alloparenting affairs in helping each other with any new bundles of joy that may come.

I can't stop thinking about my Builder and Logan becoming platonic soulmates. The slow, careful build-up of an unexpected friendship between them makes me want to cry.

Layup of the Riva Foredeck

  Laying up the deck using packing tape, and checking alignment with the center panels. Having settled on the option of hand laying the deck, it was time to start milling wood.  Take a look back at the first post in this series, Working on the Riva Foredeck.   Look closely at the picture of the overall deck.  See how the pinstripe holly lines are symmetrical about the centerline, and how they…
