Best Sanding Block and Paper

I rarely do this, but I really have to say how much I like the 3M sanding block and sticky paper! What a great sanding system they have.

Unlike traditional, cheap rubber sanding blocks that are not usually flat and that ALWAYS develop a hump in the middle which defeats the purpose of the block, this plastic block stays flat. It has a foamy base with just the right amount of give, although it's pretty firm. The handle fits my hand very well and is ergo-dynamically designed for comfort.

The paper comes in rolls and is sticky backed. You simply tear off the proper length and stick it on. When done it easily peels off without ripping. The rolls come in an assortment of grits.

The downside... the block is about $30 for the small one and over $60 for the long one. They're plastic! The paper is even more ridiculous at about $80 per roll! Gawd. But it's worth the investment.

Cheers!

The Rogue Manual

I've posted about this earlier, but thought it might be good to post it again for anyone who may be interested. I've started to write a manual of tips and tricks for Pygmy solo kayak builders. It covers the taping method, so that your boat doesn't have hundreds of holes all over it. I'm on version 2 now. Version 2 covers several other tips and tricks from myself and from others as collected over time. ATTENTION : Use the manual at your own risk! The only person responsible for any mistakes or problems with the building of your boat is you. Always use the official Pygmy manual that came with your kit. Only do those tips and tricks that make sense to you. If something in the manual doesn't sound right to you, then don't do it! Neither I, nor Pygmy Boats, nor anyone else except YOU is responsible for the safety of your boat and the quality of your build. It's in very rough draft form right now, but if you'd like to read it, please send a $10 donat...

Gasp... A CLC Boat?!

Since my last post for the completion of the Pygmy Pinguino, Pygmy Boats announced that they are suspending operations, whatever that means... ugh!!! What... no more Pygmy Boats?! How can this be? I've now worked through my feelings and have moved on. I've embraced the dark side, by which I mean the East Coast... yes, I'm actually considering building a Chesapeake Light Craft boat. Can you believe that? Specifically I'm very interested in their wherries. The Expedition Wherry looks good and suits my size and rowing interests. It's capable of carrying a sizeable payload in its watertight compartments. (Picture from the CLC website and they hold the copyright to it): My wife purchased a Whitehull Spirit rowing wherry a couple years ago and I've enjoyed rowing it. I'm fairly new to sliding seat rowing but have really become interested in a boat that is more sized for my large build. So... the CLC Expedition Wherry ... is this my next build? Stay tuned! Al...

Annapolis Wherry Spacered Inwales Installed

For the past week (yes, WEEK!) I have been working on the outwales and spacered inwales. The inwales and outwales are such an obvious part of the boat that you really want them to look as good as you can possibly make them. And doing that takes a lot of time and patience. The spacered inwale kit is an addition to the basic wherry kit. The kit includes the OUTwales, but does not come with INwales. We like the look of the spacered inwales and find that they have some function too for securing things to the hull. They look nautical. The spacered inwale kit comes with inwale rails, sticks you cut to make the spacers, a replacement breasthook for the bow, and replacement quarter knees for the transom. They leave it up to you for how long to cut the spacers and how far apart to space them. The manual that comes with the kit is extensive. I like the look of rounded spaces. No, it's not the normal look of spacers which are supposed to simulate the ribs on a wooden...
