Re: Very Cheap or Free Weekender
The "monster beam" on the foredeck is the lower part of the mast. I won't call it a tabernacle, but it serves the same purpose. It's got a hinge loose-pin hinge on top, with the other half of the hinge on the bottom of the rest of the mast:

My Geodesic Airolite Boat
I stopped by the Andrew Linn Boatshop in Toledo the other day to check on the Platt Monfort Classic 12 the Retired Old Geezers are building for me. They've got the skin on and shrunk, and the first coat of Rodda "latex" housepaint has been applied:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/jkohnen/albums/72157706889347291 Looks Good Guys! :o) I dropped off a tube of Life Calk to bed the external wood parts. It's in a box amongst the other Airolite stuff. As a bonus I've included a shot of the Steward Pram that Rick, et al., were building during the boat show. It's coming along nicely. :o) https://flic.kr/p/2hv8cjz http://www.coots.org/BoatPlans/Chick/ -- John (@Jkohnen) You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad.

Re: viking boat from tree to water.

The Roskilde Museum was the featured guest at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart when I went there in 2005. I got to row their 10-meter boat (that's me in the TSCA hat and tan shorts near the bow).

I see a lot of work on that weekender, lots of weather checking which would require some paint removal/sanding/filling to repair. Bowsprit be a pretty easy fix to scarf or replace, I’d think. I can’t tell what the monster beam on the foredeck is about. The transom would be easy enough to repair and beef up. My Honda 2 hp or my Tohatsu 3.5 would look good on that boat, then. Rich

Very Cheap or Free Weekender
Nobody has called Scott about the Stevenson Weekender in his yard. I'd hate for it to be broken up. The boat has a broken bowsprit and the motor mount tore off of the transom (from using too heavy a motor), sustained during the Salish 100. They finished. Otherwise, I don't think it's any worse than Queen Boadicea was when she came into the Coots' orbit. There are no sails. Scott will sell you a trailer to haul it off on, but if you bring your own trailer and don't bother Scott's crew too much I'll bet he'll give you the boat for free. Scott Coleman: 541-954-7223

Needs a new tongue. I got Pickle a new (used) trailer instead of doing the repair: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jkohnen/albums/72157661896227089 -- John (@Jkohnen) Let the summer passes quickly and let the winter comes slowly and so we may have longer autumn, The Golden Kingdom!

Re: Shifty Sailors of the Maritime
It was probably fun to see the Shifty Sailors at the Museum. Mary and me were down at the Coast, but she had to be back Friday afternoon. <sigh> The theater there is really something! The view is so good out the windows they really don't need to bring in any entertainment. <g> The Retired Old Geezers in Toledo did a lot of volunteer work to get the theater finished. here's the Shifty Sailors Web page:

Just for Fun (Boat Plans)
I'm gradually gonna put some of the boat plans I have in digital format onto coots.org. Eventually I'll make a Web page pointing to them, but in the meantime, here's a start (Chick is the boat Rick is building in the Andrew Linn Boatshop, as seen during the boat show):

Re: Idle thoughts
As my repeat (oops!) messages to the group should indicate, there will be a Halloween float. Don't be late! <g> If you are gonna be late, call me on my cell phone: 541-913-0299 Don't anybody try calling when I'm not at a messabout, or traveling. The cell phone spends most of its time turned off; it may be weeks before I get a voicemail or text. <g>

Coots' Annual Yaquina River Halloween Float, October 26th
The Coots' Halloween float from Elk City to Toledo will be Saturday, October 26th, this year. The high tide at Elk City will be at about 1:15, and we'll have a good ebb tide helping us down the river to the Cannon Quarry ramp, about 6 1/4 miles. After we get the boats pulled out we'll have dinner at the pizza joint by the docks in Toledo:
