Rob,

  I've got plenty of web space for things like videos and pictures.  If you'd like, I'd be happy to give you a directory and a login where you can post images, spreadsheet files, etc., and create your own subdirectories. 

  The main URL could be http://www.nuomo.com/harryproa , or I'd be happy to spring for the $10 fee and get a new domain, such as http://harryproafiles.com .

  We could do it quick-and-dirty to start out, with just file names listed (no work for either of us other than posting files), and then later decide if we want to get fancier.

  Whatever works for you.  I'd like to help, but just as important, I'd like to see some nice renderings.

       - Mike

Pretty slow week. Got most of the bulkheads in, what a crappy job.
Next one will have the landings for the bulkheads as part of the
infusion and I will have enough confidence in the computer drawings to
infuse the bulkheads to the correct size. Should cut a week's worth
of sticky, sweaty building in a very narrow space down to a couple of
easy hours. Will try this on the beam.

Chopped up the mast bearing mould and a couple of other jobs when
better, less likely to end in tears solutions presented themselves.
Waiting for the bearings to be machined. Decided to build the top
bearing using strips of plastic rather than machining it from solid.

The new infusion table is taking longer than expected as the guys are
infusing a new 15m cat hull. My beam infusion has been back burnered
until that is complete, and we are still brainstorming the quickest
way to build it. Keeping tow straight pre infusion has taken up far
more time than any other subject, but it has been great fun discussing
it, especially when the alternative was bonding in bulkheads.

Formers and some of the foam are on the bows of the lee hull and i
finally figured out an easier blind join for the bulkheads to the deck
than trying to lay it up upside down by feel.

Won't be much progress for a while as I have Xmas committments and
school holiday care to provide.

New pics under Solitarry 2 in Photos and updated and a bit more
detailed spreadsheet in Files. I cannot access the photos page (75% of the page is truncated) to edit the latest photos, so until I figure this out, the titles and descriptions may be mislaeading

I have a 14873K jpeg rendering of the boat which Yahoo will not allow
me to upload (keeps crashing before the upload is complete). Any
suggestions?

regards,

Rob
