The sole is the coolest thing I've seen in a while!

I love many things about what Tim's done with Circe, but I have to agree, the sole stands alone. It's a perfect solution for making a beautiful sole in a narrow space that can't avoid sloped sides. Remarkable! I predict there will be a few copycat attempts - I know that I'll be one of them, when I get to it (years down the road)!

Thanks as always for sharing your work with all the world through your website Tim - it's a true inspiration. Never mind that it might get some of us in trouble, imagining that we can do similar things! Personal growth requires a little bit of "biting off more than you can chew", right?

Thanks,

Chris

Extending the Rudder Stock

Post by triton318 »

Wow. As usual, I'm simply blown away by the work you do Tim. Beautiful.

In a couple of pictures, I noticed the rudder stock had been extended upward. I was just curious as to the reason. Not second guessing anyone; just wondering if it was something I might want to consider as I'm doing some work in the cockpit of my Triton.

Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

The reasoning behind the rudderpost extension is well explained somewhere back in the logs from last September. Rather than rehash it here, here's a link.

Just thought I'd do a little cheering during the homestretch!!

I only wish Tim had more hours in a day. I'd have more to read. ;-P

Go Teeeem!
