Flipping My Anacapa

[@JoseMagallon-n9t]

Where can I find the boat plans for this boat?

[@johnenglish6681]

Look on Facebook, Boat Building & Builders page, on the main menu select files, most of Jeff's plan are there.

John I like the boat may I ask how much epoxy was needed to build it

[@johnenglish6681]

I used 12 gallons of epoxy.

What's it like in rough water,please? A boat this size might suit me perfectly for fishing the skerries banks and the ocassional wreck trip offshore in summer weather.

[@johnenglish6681]

I've had it out in 3 ft waves, it was fine until I stopped. Then the boat rides up and down on the waves, it tosses you around. In 2 ft harbor chop it does fine but you have to slow down to reduce the pounding. I've been in 19 ft v hulls in the same conditions, I think any 19 ft boat will pound in chop and toss you around in 3 ft waves. The boat is just not heavy enough to ride smooth in rough seas.

How has this boat held up over the past 3 years?

[@johnenglish6681]

The boat has held up well. I have had to touch up the paint from scratches. I made a cover that covers the open area from the pilot house to the transom. This keeps water from ever pooling up on the decks. I did have one crack in the glass on the transom, I repaired by adding two layers of 23 oz tri-axle glass and repainting the area.

Please make a video showing everything in details. ...inside the cabin ...I wanton buy the plans and build one

[@imperialsecuritybureau6037]

Hmm, will this work with a 30 ton steel workboat?

[@johnenglish6681]

Imperial Security Bureau I don't think so. You would need a stronger jig and a crane!

[@imperialsecuritybureau6037]

Hehe, for sure.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

I am thinking a gin pole with some block and tackle would make this a one man job...... John, how many hours did you have into it to get to this point?

[@johnenglish6681]

200 hours!! I bloged this build at lumberjocks.com/English/blog/series/7674

[@drumminsonlive9199]

Nice work...

[@Reubenhubert]

Great teamwork. The print says it weighs about 3/4 ton.

[@johnenglish6681]

At the point of the flip the boat weighed about 900 lbs
