That’s Light !!!

Just to show how light it is, 13.6 lbs.

That is a great project! Did you sand the foam layers before glueing, or only rolled it with that wallpaper removal thingy?

[rowerwet]

Just the wallpaper tool, I like the way mike described it in his big pink build thread, all the glue moshed into the holes being like hundreds of tiny nails.

That is nice. I need one of those. Did you use a commercial plan or is it your own design?

[OP827]

Rowerwet, I hope it is still on topic. do you know of any free software to calculate lofting curves? I am looking for it as I am thinking on how to do my foam build roof. Thanks.

It is my own design, based on years of paddling and hours studying plans for sale. Sawfish is for kids and adults who value stability and easy car topping. Based on my short trial paddle I got it just about perfect.
Next winter I plan on a 16' sized for speed, it is designed in my head so far.
I don't use any drafting programs, never have. Even my tear was built from the free benroy plan and the "that looks about right" method.

got to finally tear down the free pop up I dragged home years ago, https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... ploaded=14

found it had a nice wood counter top for the galley, I see this being hung on the side of Skyline, or cut in half and each side holding the sink or stove.


a lot of work, but it was worth it

[rowerwet]

there were lots of goodies inside...


including this! anybody know much about how these are to run?

I almost bought one on clearance recently, now I'm glad I didn't.

Looks like a old Coleman stove with a propane converter on it. Should be easy to use.

got some more work done on Skyline, moved the axle back for balance and sleeping room

I will be cutting away the beam that now blocks the tire, I also have some sections removed from another pop up trailer that is now under Storm warning, I will be using them to reinforce the edges of the floor around the new wheel wells.

torture testing Sawfish, passed with no issues.

a relaxed evening paddle. (still need to paint the bow fabric, right now it lets water in through that section)

Funny , all pop up tear downs all look the same ... ending up with a trailer and a pile of trash ...

[GPW]

Scrap yard ... no such places around here ... scrapyards here only buy from the copper thieves...
