At the risk of seeming obvious, put it in some water and test it?

Sorry Tim, I'm tired and it makes me chuckle when I see these so I grabbed this from http://www.lackeysailing.com/

cantstopnow

Thanks for that great story. What is her name? I imagine "Compassion"

cantstopnow

Chris, your last structure was visually pleasing as well as the functional aspects. The geometric patterns of the bows and the gothic reference in the form. It looked amazing for a temporary structure.

I am looking forward to pictures of the new one!

Cheers.

Itchy and scratchy are two friends of mine!

This is just a short sailing video taken with my iphone of some exiting sailing just outside Casco Bay last fall.

Somebody has been sanding himself silly ....

Happy Birthday Tim. As my dad used to say "I'm glad you didn't die when you were a baby!"

cantstopnow

I'm going to have to spend a bunch of time figuring out what circuits get connected to what, and then spend a bunch of money buying a bunch of new wiring.

It will be an ongoing project...

You made me chuckle with that one. Yup, It will be. It's like a metaphor for life or something.....

Winter evening internet surfing netted me this interesting story.

Worth a laugh...

Happy New Year to all !!!!

cantstopnow

Merry Christmas to all and to all fix it right. Best wishes to Tim and all the forumites.

very sad and disturbing..... our great technological advances do come with some costs...not the end of the world but very unfortunate...
not in the mood to rant but I did share this on Face Book.

The bilge pump is installed complete with new switch and vacuum break. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/cantstopnow/IMG_1512.jpg The old raw water strainer needed replacing so I have installed a new one. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w164/cantstopnow/IMG_1514.jpg I replaced the $355.00 m...

cantstopnow

A quick update on the bilge pump chore. I spent 5 hours pumping, vacuuming, scrubbing, removing everything that the PO dropped in the last 40 years, more pumping and vacuuming. It was just plain old raunchy down there. Black, oily and putrid. On the brighter side the boat smells a whole lot better n...

cantstopnow

What you doin with all that junk in your trunk..... in your trunk....

sorry, is that inappropriate?

cantstopnow

Thanks for the update it is progressing well.

cantstopnow

Update:

I am sure that there is no quicker way to feel like a clumsy moron than when installing deadlights alone when pressed for time. Well it's done and the thunderstorms that followed showed no leaks.
I do have some clean up though...

cantstopnow

Thank you very much for the responses. We got things cleaned up and I will get the sealants tomorrow and get it back together. The aluminum frame has some corroded areas that I cleaned up and smoothed the best I could. I wonder if there is a source for replacement frames for this model? The black st...

cantstopnow

replying to my own post... Polysulphide sealant for the frames and and deadlights?

cantstopnow

That sure is pertyyy

cantstopnow

I have searched for the answer to this because I know that this has been discussed before somewhere but I am still posting the question for clarity. I have removed the starboard fixed port to repair the leaking problem. Removal and disassembly went smoothy. The window was bedded in the frame with wh...

Going through photos from last year and found this. What a beautiful morning to be on the boat.

cantstopnow

One of the items on the list prior to launch june 23 is to trouble shoot and repair the bilge pump or wiring that was causing a short in that circuit. the problem on the Morgan M34 is that the bilge is Very hard to access without removing a lot of stuff and then hanging upside down into the abyss. n...

cantstopnow

Can you unscrew the track, place the tighter hatch over the tracks. Then screw the track down by sliding the hatch forward or back?

cantstopnow

Did this problem develop after you re-installed the hardware? or slowly over time?

cantstopnow

That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing the photo.

cantstopnow

Tim, you probably have seen her around the coast of Maine. The boat's name is Ariadne out of Bidderford Pool.

I have a launch date of June 23 so I am not planning to do much work to the boat other than the normal prelaunch activities. I will be moored off Chebeague Island for the summer.

cantstopnow

it is hard for me to describe the emotions that I feel with the purchase and arrival of our new boat. I will just say that I am all jacked up.. There will be work to do and problems to solve and so many good times ahead. Anyway, Here is "Ariadne".

cantstopnow

Thanks Tim. I am in the process of purchasing a Morgan M34 and want to continue with its documented status.

cantstopnow

I'm pretty sure that the horses name is Thor!

cantstopnow

Thank You for the responses. And also to Rachael for the PM. It is helpful. The work appeals to me and I am going to pursue it.

cantstopnow

I am considering taking the course in Marine Systems at The Landing School in Arundel. My goal is to get training then employment for 3 years to gain more experience before the wife and I do some cruising. I like this type of work and it seems that I would be able to pick up jobs as we travel. At $1...

cantstopnow

Ha ha ha I would like to see that guy's Fall to do list, 1) Clean boat 2) cover boat...hmm no tarp .. what to do?

cantstopnow

Welcome and thanks for posting. You have done a beautiful job with your boat.

cantstopnow

Thanks Tim for posting the Allied Seabreeze project on The Northern Yacht Restoration site. I look forward to seeing how you handle the challenges of the refitting and am more motivated to get my own projects done.
Thanks for what you do.

A quick Google search brought this link for more info on wood strengths.

Locust, Robinia pseudoacacia

cantstopnow

That was a great video. I love the sail by shots.

cantstopnow

I love the expansive cockpit. Lots of room for crew and after sailing festivities.

cantstopnow

Good for you! Fair winds and happy sails.

cantstopnow

I removed the handrails because they were cracked and broken and the fasteners were loose or snapped. some water appears to have leaked into the core in a couple of places.

I drilled the holes out and cleaned out as much wet core as I could and then filled with thickened epoxy.

cantstopnow

It was recommended that I remove the thru hulls and the head. Casco Bay is a no discharge area and it will be one less thing to maintain so I did.

cantstopnow

I will start by saying that I really didn't need another project boat. I need to get more experience sailing. So .. I bought this great Pearson Commander in an excellent location for sailing. I mention this because any work that I do to the boat, or do not do, is focused on getting some sailing in t...

cantstopnow

i'm not sure how to correct this but when I went to the boat this weekend I checked the hull number and it is actually #126 not 26. I don't think I can re number the boat so I would like to edit the topic.
I will post photos tomorrow of the work so far.

cantstopnow

Somebody stop me if I try. "A man's got to know his limitations" . I am planning to sail the boat and my ideal scenario is Northern Yacht Restoration being involved in the hull and deck restoration.

cantstopnow

The lines look just as good in the water.

cantstopnow

I have just purchased this beautiful boat on the hard at the Chebeague island boat yard. This is the photo from the ad on craigs list. I will be there this weekend to clean her up and start making lists and priorities. I want to put her in the water and do some sailing this season. Many more posts t...

cantstopnow

That's beautiful

cantstopnow

Buying the "INEXPENSIVE" boats always seems as though it comes a bit easier than getting them in the water. That has been my experience at least.
Sounds like a great plan though.
