    I would be scared too.
    Very interesting, I saw that picture once before, when I worked in the High Arctic.
    It is a polar bear, eating an ice cream...in a snowstorm.
    Where did he get the ice cream?
    It belonged to the photographer, but the bear ate him too, that is why you cannot see him.
    We will be lucky to hear from Quarath again.

    I spent some time up there. They always recommend you wear little bells to warn them off and carry pepper spray just in case. You have to worry about black bears and polar bears up there, black bears are pretty harmless polar bears are extremely agressive. One way to know what you are dealing with is if you see bear poop. You can tell the difference because black bear poop has contains lots of berries and animal fur. Polar bear poop has lots of small bells in it and smells of pepper...

    That's scary! You sailed like this?

    *edit* well actually the beams are fastened with 4 bolts on each beam. How stiff is your platform? (IYKWIM)

    isn't there supposed to be an alloy tube between the nut and gunnel lip

    to spread the rigging loads

    and stop the nut being pulled through the glass?

    Yes there is, the rod/rube is threaded so you don't need a nut.

    These are from under the deck lip where the Beams connect.


    QuoteThat's scary! You sailed like this?


    No I have not sailed it. I also found some soft spots on the inner section of each hull at about the beam area. So I may have to put this one on the back-burner for a while. I was hoping to get it into the water first because everything else looked so good until I turner it over.

    Instead I may be making a franken boat out of the good hulls on the other to P16s in my back yard to try to get one on the water this year.

    DING DING DING ! WINNER, WINNER, Chicken Dinner!

    There are load spreaders still at the shrouds just not the beams.

    That would be awesome!

    What are you going to do about the polar bear, you can't see him, but he is there.
