chesapeake lt 16 launch

Builder's Forum

Finally finished my 1st boat, an lt16. Launched friday, and happy to say my nightmares that it would go round and round in circles and sink didn't materialise. In fact I was ecstatic with the way it handled.

If I was going to name it I'd call it "95%", as during the build I seemed to do 95% of everything perfectly, and messed up on the remaining 5%, but am very pleased with it, and it even fits on my car, well almost.

Thanks to everyone on the forum for the various hints and know how. Also thanks to the staff at CLC and shipping for rushing me those last minute bits and pieces I needed. I really enjoyed the build experience.

Was about to post pics, but am having problems getting them from my desktop to the message board, any hints ?

Thanks

Colin.
