A couple of you were wondering where the original Mahdee website is stashed! Its still with us. Just click on the Mahdee Website Link on the upper right hand side of the blog home page. A new browser window will pop up and take you to the Mahdee Website. There’s a lot of good information there and it is a good starting place to learn about Mahdee and this project.

Night Sailing January 1st
We enjoyed a great afternoon and evening sailing on Stargazer (our Rawson 30) on the 1st of January.
The daily grind with all those laminated frames
This morning, David and John started the week by pulling the 16 frames they laminated in the previous week out of the boat and sanding the excess epoxy off the frames and applying filled epoxy to any voids found in the frames. While John was sanding, cleaning, filling, David was moving the “alligator boards,” putting in more floors, cleaning tape and epoxy off of floors and clamps, and smashing his fingers (something about that peening??). The results are looking great. Tomorrow, more laminating of frames into the boat! 6 more to go and then….onto the engine bay and working on the counter timber.
Those laminated frames are getting really long!
