The TMS-20 plans arrived yesterday, Yeah Buddy!
The new lines for the main hull look really good. A quick measure puts the max beam in the main hull at 30 inches. That gives me enough room to fit in it and wiggle about as needed.
There is a choice of two ama designs one is larger then the other. I'm going with the larger size, 1,400 lbs displacement. I’m still looking everything over. I want to have a couple of copies of the lines made up before I start transferring the lofting lines to wood. Just in case of an ooops!
If I get the strongback built this weekend I'll consider that good progress. I've got to go out of town with work again for the rest of the week. Damn work always seems to get in the way of fun. But work is still a necessary evil at this point in my life.
The website should be fixed in the next day or say so I’ll catch up on the documentation of the work for team cyberspeed and Quietly Making Noise. I’ve got a board repair job to document that may help with some of the forum blogs. The board has a chunk out of it and a split.
