    Using reverse cycle air ducts for Webasto heat

    I have a Espar D12L diesel heater and use it when the water temp drops below 50deg and the rev/cycle heat no longer works. There are ducts in to each cabin and it keeps the boat warm all winter.

    Built a stitch and glue Nutshell Dinghy

    I will always use copper wire in the future... The zip ties do not save time and do not look as good. We actually built two boats and the second one we used copper wire. The copper wire boat can go with out paint, the zip tie boat will be painted.

    Built a stitch and glue Nutshell Dinghy

    This was just built from plans and I bought all the plywood and epoxy locally. The kits are expensive for what you get. This is about $250 in material and 14 hours labor in 1 and 2 hour chunks. I changed the plans somewhat to add a double skeg, so that the boat sits upright and hopefully track...
