Hi Cash,
Hate to say it but much as we dislike it when work interferes with our pastimes - even at an advanced age (shall we politely say of three score and fifteen) things tend to get in the way - like bits falling off the house etc - and in my case plus work for the Laser. Been watching this build with interest - but seem to have missed out on a bit - looking forward to see the finished article on the water . Looks like this one is also built to your usual high standards. ▲

Hi Cash - totally agree with Colin - it looks really good - instrument panel, wheel & controls from liteply/glass headed pins don't add much weight - that would be a great finishing touch !

Cash looks great I have been just dealing with getting the motor aligned. Being my first model it was much more complicated than I thought. Took about 3 hrs to get it in. I am updating my building blog today. Best MIR

I would leave the inner bearing Oilite if you can Cash - although the inner replaced this time with a piece of Vesconite - will see how it goes. It took many many hours of running to wear away the original brass bearing - bear in mind this was first time replacement and she was built in the 80's.
You still use oil/grease whichever you prefer in the tube - always a good plan to solder on an oiler - makes it very easy to top up after a sail session. Any water entering the rear bearing acts like a lubricant - but you you don't want water inside the tube itself. ▲

Thanks for updating me on the Nylon bearings Peter. I knew about the wood bearings on full sized craft, didnโt realize the nylon would work so well. Are the nylon bushings lubed with oil or grease before running, like an oil lite?

Hi Cash,
looks like a nice set up. Just a word on nylon type bushes - if its the right type its lubricated by water. Used to be full size Tugs and the like had Lignum Vitae bearings - a very hard wearing wood . However a fellow in SA developed a type of Nylon bearing material called Vesconite - and convinced the SA Ports to test it on the their tugs - since the wood bearings had to be replaced on a yearly basis they were keen to try it . Vesconite is water lubricated so it worked well and only needed replacing every 10 years or so - Tugs are really hard on their shafts as they have such tremendous power for their size. Usage spread around the world - and most black Nylon bearing material is now either Vesconite or a copy of it. On my Police Boat the outer bearing is Vesconite - the inner brass - guess which end bearing wore out - despite the shaft being fitted with an oiler (half oil, half grease). Noticed it when a thin line of black appeared around the inside of the hull - spray from the worn inner bearing going sideways. Vesconite still a perfect fit. ▲

Hi Cash,
Sorry, to hear about the leak in your boat! I remember when I build the San Pedro! I thought all was good! I went to do a float test. But, after a few hours. In the domestic test tank (Bath Tub)! I noticed about a cup of water in her! I got so! Till this day I haven't looked at it! Biggest problem is how she put together! But, She make a nice display piece! Cheers, Ed ▲

Haha!! I was looking at the hull pondside, and found one of the lower planks could be pulled up a bit. Seems the glue may have set in that spot without a good joint. Itโs about 2 inches fwd of...the transom.
Good call Fleet!! ▲

Errol still wants the PT. I told him his command was the PBR, but heโs having none of that. I also reminded him that I outranked him, and he IS a cat after all, but that didnโt dissuade him in the least. I think because he is a cat he feels he outranks us all๐คฃ
