Attached are some photos of the "Mary Beth, too" just prior to moving
her out of the garage where she was built and onto a trailer.

The tiller and some of the hardware and rigging were salvaged from a
"Lancer 27".  The hull material is marine Fur Plywood,  Red oak, Ribbon
Strip Mahogany plywood and Mahogany lumber were used through out the
rest of the boat.

The keel is covered with 5 layers of fiberglass and West epoxy.  The
bottom and bilges with three layers of glass and epoxy.  The mahogany
sides 1 layer of 3 oz glass.

The spars are Sitka Spruce.  The Masts and Gaff are hollow.  The mast
was built using the "Birds mouth" method of forming eight sides.
Starting with eight sides makes it a lot easier to round the mast.  Also
it is very easy to build in the taper for the mast head.

 The main boom was made solid for the weight to help hold the main down.
The main is loose footed and draws quite well in light air.

The attached pictures show a few construction details of "Mary Beth,too"
Ibuilt assemblies such as the transom, center board house, stem etc. in
my basement during the winter months and moved them to the garage and
constructed the boat.
The guests are my son and his family.

The photo of bulkhead Nr 1 shows the tabernacle posts which are epoxy
bonded to the bulkhead and keel.
The photos of the aft portion of the cabin show the location of the
switch panel and the safety equipment just inside the hatch. The
equipment is offset to prevent tripping.
 Notice the paint with the flat and glossy surface.  The bright paint is
one part polyurethane on the floor for wear.  The flat paint is a twenty
year alkyd exterior house paint with a fungicide.  I pre-printed all of
the bilges, flooring bottoms and insides of the partitions and bulkheads
prior to final assembly.

We sailed "Mary-Beth,too"  quite a bit last year. Our sailing has all
been on Pewaukee Lake ( 6 miles long by 1 1/2 mile wide) She is very
happy on a beam reach, and self-steers when I set the mizzen properly.
Heaving to and reefing is easy.  Center the mizzen and she sits nose to
the wind. I have run all of the reefing lines to a point at the cabin
hatch.  I learned some years ago not to go forward of the cockpit to
reef the main during a squall on lake Michigan.

 However, I have not even moved the boat out of the garage this year.  I
broke a knee cap and put a two month crimp in everything.  August is
still young.

We enjoy the Chebacco web site.  Thanks
