timber 3 Report post #3207 Posted January 26 So far no returns about i550's within reasonable distance of Sydney. Many have migrated to Hobart.

timber 3 Report post #3212 Posted March 10 Plan sets continue to go out to the world. Three of the recent initiates to the cult are in Georgia (USA), Brazil and Peru. Current project is pouring of a ballast bulb. But this one is a bit different. Poured in three parts with tapered dovetails to join together at destination. You're wondering why? Well the three sections fit in 3 US Postal "if it fits, it ships" boxes. and they have a weight of less than 70 pounds each which is the limit. The guy in Peru wants to know if there are sailmakers there that he is not aware of and mast suppliers. T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeerDidClam 20 Report post #3217 Posted May 4 Timb, love you guys and all that, but I've had about 8 people email me in the last month about the website and how to order plans. Are all y'all ever going to get the site back up? Want some help? Want a free site with a tiny bit of functionality but at least a landing page where folks can order things?
