Good start to a Great thread! Carl Kiekhaefer started a real dynasty! I would like to know more.

Kinda crazy what he started considering he bought the factory with the intention of manufacturing milk making equipment.

Great Article, and great thread !!

Capito che razza di barca hai tra le mani MF?!

(Does understand what kind of boat you have among the hands?!)

Good job Nigel!

....Incredibile che sia proprio quella.....Ho liberato la coperta e sono pronto per partire con la ricostruzione.....ma č leggermente arquata giusto ??
Cioč...la coperta segue l'andamento della poppa ???

Can't believe my boat is that !!
The Deck is cleaned and i am starting to reconstruct the original boat deck, but it is arched, right ?
i mean, does the deck in a 36 follow the back lines or it is just plain straight ???

ps

Happy Eastern everyone !
