I was just looking at some records on my Oonah build and noticed that I launched THISTLE on 31 August 2025, four years to the day after the kit arrived. So when I say “finally”, I mean it.
I like the idea of installing lazy jacks. I will have to consider adding them later. Boat looks great. I will also be adding floor boards, in part so they can do double duty as a sleeping platform.
Robert,
unfortunately little real progress during the summer months as I have ended up being away. Next summer is starting to look like the reality.
Thanks Bob. I will take another look at your blog to get the sizes and make a rough guess on numbers. I enjoy your blog so thanks for doing it.
I am gathering materials to start assembly of my Oonagh kit but I cannot find anywhere in the plans or on the website even an approximate number of screws and the sizes for the various applications. From this thread I see that the bottom screws are #8 5/8″ and #8 7/8″. Thanks. Any suggestions how many and what sizes I will need?
Am I missing something from the plans and this information is actually there or are builders meant to visualize the build and calculate requirements? I am pretty sure Kit was able to go to a store room in the boat yard and get one or a dozen of the size she needed but I need to order them and wait for days or weeks to receive them.
