Probably not. I figure one and done. Although I think I could.

For those interested in the Naval Architecture of these vessels, she has a “cruiser stern. Although counterintuitive, at higher speeds, ships with longer waterlines are more easily driven than those with shorter ones. This has to do with the wavelength of the waves generated by movement of the vessel’s hull. As speed increases, the amplitude of these waves increases and wavelength increases until there is one large wave at the bow and one at the stern. When this happens a huge power increase is required to move her any faster.
The cruiser stern increases this waterline length. As a side benefit it also better protects the rudder than the old fantail stern.

That does sound counterintuitive.
Good morning Vic. Between your Fubbs and this there must be plenty of saw/sanding dust flying around…..

Unfortunately, much more to come. I’m either in the garage or on the patio half the time. In Texas in July and August, it’s not that comfortable. It’s hard to motivate myself to take a shower. What’s the point? I walk around like Pig Pen in the Peanuts comic strip, dust flying off me everywhere I go. (No picture for this one.)Good morning Vic.
