I doused the white pine pretty heavily with "deck oil" which is linseed oil, pine tar and turps. So far so good, as I had lots of it on hand and I love every thing about it. As a matter of fact I'm currently building a pergola out of locally sourced rough cut white pine.

Great design. Love Monroe's designs and have built one of Joel White's interpretations of Egret. Am also a skinny water sailor although I have thousands of blue water miles under my various keels. Several things about your reconstruction have caught my attention and I might suggest that you consider using well dried pressure treated yellow pine for anything that will be down low where it might sit in water, or behind any bulkhead or other such surface that will be covered and not well ventilated. If you stack it with weight on it somewhere until it is dry it is a good wood for holding onto fasteners and is much more rot resistant than Doug Fir. Once well dried it will take most adhesives and we have used it in all of my various boatbuilding shops and classes for framing members with success. The drying is done because, as you probably know, it does warp unless it is well fastened in place until it is so and few things will stick to it until then. The stock that has been processed into decking is generally a full 4/4" which is usually large enough for any use you have aboard Neena. I've also steered my boatbuilding students and boat repair clients away from using Silicone caulk of any sort aboard their boats because it acts as a contaminant on any surface where it has been applied. It is not a dependable bedding compound and once it has let go it makes repairs with other compounds also very prone to failure because they cannot stick to the now contaminated area. Cleaning it off takes a lot of abrasion and you must constantly change the abrading material (sand paper or whatever) else you'll drive the contamination into the scratches you are making. And while I am sure I've overstayed my welcome with all of this advice, if you must use the white pine for your cabin sole you might want to consider using one of the better penetrating epoxies on the underside before you put it down. White pine needs all of the help it can get when it comes to rot prevention. Anyway, good luck with the project. I'm going to start looking around for a sister ship....;o) Roger Allen Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762320353389687963.post-20853097899860184782015-04-13T08:23:24.389-07:002015-04-13T08:23:24.389-07:00Nice to see another Sandpiper32 being sailed!

We got Neena in the water last August and had a lot of fun getting to know her. The Soling rigs are demanding in that sail shape has to be attended to, depending on the conditions, to get the most out of them. But that aside, we love how easy she is to handle after our 35 ft.,14,000 lb. woodwn sloop we had for 32 years! I've rebuilt the interior and need to recondition the boards as they don't go down all the way. Tell me how you sail ,her to windward, Main sheeted in more than Fore? I'll have to update my blog with some photos.

Said the boat would be faster and less top-heavy. Might have been right but we have preferred the convenience of roller reefing on the masts (only 2 sets of sails in 35 years) and the ease of getting under weigh and buttoning up on return, while our friends struggle with sail tracks, bags, covers, etc. 600 lbs of lead pigs along the sole stiffened her enough and we don't race. <br />We installed a bowsprit for a blade jib, rigged from Phil Bolger's description but the swiveling tag at mast top prevented the luff from being stiff enough so we gave up after a few seasons, and bobbed the jibstay back to a suitable site for the anchor.Airforce Sails (formerly Johnson Sails) made a main staysail to Scott's design which we use in light airs, which greatly improves speed. <br />Attempts to hoist a pig stick were also wastes of time.<br />My only complaint about the boat is the annoyance of the row of screws needing removal to get the deck plate to come up for access to the engine. <br />We were the first to specify the Edson wheel steering which works very well and allows my lady skipper to sit on the wheel box and see over the cabin house while her crew does the rest. We also recommended they move the head to the bow and used the port side space for a locker. The hinged roof made from the forward end of the deck house allows space to stand in the head area and a hinged block lets it draw air through the cabin while under weigh. <br />If you decide to install the flagpole masts, the 1" Fafner bearing does a good job but at the partners you should annually renew the polyethlene sleeve that separate the mast from the partners and grease it thoroughly to keep it from binding. And we suggest having a local metalworker create a removable bearing aloft under the rotating tang instead of the several plastic discs they dropped over the pole...the grease doesn't last ling and when stiff makes furling can difficult. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588346906490540718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762320353389687963.post-69868515653773608432014-09-22T06:17:29.783-07:002014-09-22T06:17:29.783-07:00testing to see if this actually is sent.
