http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn The ressurection of a wrecked Tartan 30 sailboat currently named Hobyn Mon, 04 May 2009 17:16:09 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've had some interest in the Hobyn project along with a lot of requests for pictures. So, here they are. Pictures are current as of November 08. http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=189 Due to a a conflict of schedules I've had to put Hobyn up for sale/trade. I'm just looking for someone to finish her instead of wanting to cut her up for parts. All offers welcome. http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=188 I really do have the best luck. All of the rain these past couple of days made the footings under the scafolding kind of well... mushy. Combine that with 1 guy in a hurry who tends to jump from the boat the scafolding and you get... 1 guy who lands ... http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=187 Keeping with the band names theme I give you Slim and the Braces.

I think that the Woody template looks good but isn't exact enough for this sort of work. Looks like I'll have to make another one with just the bare essentials to get proper ... http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=180 If I'm going to do this engine install I'm going to need a better engine mockup than my 10 minute cardboard and tape job. The ideal would to have arms "Ahnald" back in his pumping iron days and just use the 270 lb M4-30 as a template, but this is ... http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=175 So with the toe rail plinth pretty much done, the tiller bumper roughed out, and the cabin sole in shambles, the starboard side sort of faired, the hull to deck joint needed its finishing round over and the aft scroll work needing its fairing, I came to the start realization ... http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=169 To get better idea of what I'm dealing with in terms of putting in the engine I took the old nasty water tank out today. It really is kind of amazing how much space this liner construction wastes not to mention how hard it makes it to reach anything without major ... http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=177 Mold on, Mold off, http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=170 After working on the aft section, fairing up the remaining patches on the starboard side, and adding the second stage of toe rail goop (pretty much just colloidal silica with some milled fiber thrown in for shatter resistance) I decided to take care of one of my biggest peeves about ... http://dkyrejko.com/hobyn/?p=162
