23 Venture Story Link!

Good evening, Mark. Thanks for the story!

I think I got your links and albums all in line with what you were after. I renamed the sub album containing the story pictures as 23 Venture Story and changed the link in your original post on the story (this one) to go to the right spot.

If that all seems to be working for you I can delete this thread so the discussion - along with the Oohs & Ahs - will all be in one spot.
 
Hey Tyboo Mike, I just tried your link, which took me back to the original story thread, and then linked on Mark's photo link, and it smoothly took me to the Venture story. So I think you did a great job in fixing it! I'm all for deleting this thread now, if the OP is happy with what you did. Colby
 
IGNORE ME, I USED THE ORIGINAL LINK, NOT THE SHORT LINK. iT WORKED LIKE COLBY SAID.

NEED TO TAKE OUT MARKS ORIGINAL LONG LINK.

Thanks a lot guys. I am still a novice with the C-Brat photo platform. Clearly it dupes me! I will keep adding pictures to the 23 Venture Story Link as I can!
Appreciate all the help!
 
Hey Mark,
Is that by chance the Venture 23 that is being build for me? Marty at Master Marine just sent me some photos of my build. Is this one and the same?

Mark,
Thank you for annotating the photos. Boat looks great!

Are you doing the lamination with the mold on its side?

Are you using resin infusion technology?

Are you using vacuum bagging when the core and inner layer is applied?

For those who do not know, C Dory is one of the few companies who keep the hull and deck in the molds when the hull to deck joint is glassed together. This makes the strongest hull and hull to deck joint. Other builders may use "glue" adhesives, pop rivets or an "H" section of aluminum to attach the hull to the deck--and it is done out of the molds.
 
I did not know this Bob. Credit goes to NMI because this adds labor costs to the build. With the glass strengthening this joint it would also reduce flexing which causes leaks. Makes me appreciate my C-Dory even more.
 
Mark thanks for the story the picture where the rear deck is being glassed in looks like that would be an air tight compartment is there any structure supports under that? Is the 22 done the same way?

Yes. I was wondering the same, and if it is air tight:
1. Is it a sealed compartment, thinking flotation?
2. Is there and inspection port with access to that space?
3. If not sealed, is the access for storage there? think water skiis, or ground tackle or spare props?

Thank you Mark. And for adding the notations.

I got a quick note from Mark today. The subject of this thread is indeed the boat NMI is building up for Joanie & I - very exciting? Wait to you see the upholstery color selection!

Anyone care to throw out any name suggestions?
 
Steve & Joanie,
Congratulations on the soon to own a super cool cruiser.
If I was choosing a name for a boat in the NWP, I'd go for a fish or bird of the region. Sandpiper hits both of those.
 
Steve,

Is there any theme you may want to follow; anything of special significance that may narrow it down? We focused on the legacy of Colleen's parents, who introduced her to boating. "DayBreak" was her Mom's favorite time of day; she took 100's of sunrise photos in the San Juans.
