Jeff's pocketship- It's DONE!! except for the sails 4/4/11

[ahamm]

Just looked at your pictures - Wow -- beautiful work. Is it a safe assumption that this is not your first project ?

[jeff]

No it's not my first project. I've built a Pygmy Kayak and a CLC Annapolis Wherry. The wherry was a ton of fun to build and very much like the Pocketship but much smaller.

To Jeff,
I looked at all of your pics on flickr and your pocketship looks perfect. I was just wondering how you got the epoxy filets so smooth and even, also what is the green stuff around the flooring (it looks like felt).
Thanks,
Walter

Jeff,
I have a couple more questions about your pocketship. First, why is there an access hole to the foam filled section of the bow? Also, when using stitch and glue construction, do the stitches remain under the epoxy or are they removed at some point? Last, do the epoxy fillets contain any fiberglass or are they just resin and filler? I hope I'm not asking too many questions, I'm sure your busy but I appreciate any advice you can give.
Thanks,
Walter

Jeff, how did you do the pinstripe inside. Looks great!!! Is this build from a kit or plans?

[jeff]

Longboarder, the stripe was done by a car pinstripper, this was a simple job for a car guy.

Great Idea to breakup that line. Can't wait to see more pics.
