The one pictured shows the 1 door model, #2 has a curbside tinted door and a leftside tinted window. Join in the fun of the Teardrop camping revolution.

Houseboat progress

3/17--The hull is bottom painted and ready for the flippin' party.



All of the appendages have been installed using bolts and 3m's 5200 marine adhesive/sealer. I added a rub strip (top photo) that the plans did not call for as a hull stiffener, it adds to the barge look.

The glassing begins

The first layer of glass was layed on Feb. 3rd. The temperature was lower than I had hoped so the dry time is taking longer. I plan to sand the hull Thursday.

Hull is planked and ready for glassing

Race #2 Done!!

Here are some pics from the Vancouver Race. It was my second race so I am still figuring things out. It was a very long race with two upwind legs and a sweet downwind leg. The race took place on English Bay







Here I am psyching myself up for a long cold race.
