Detailed Photos of PD Racer Assembly

I have put the full photo series from Rob Johnson building his OZ PD Racer up at Flickr.

I have also added comments to many of the photos. There is a lot of detail here to assist people building the Puddle Duck from our plans.

180 photos of building the PD Racer

This is what Rob posted after he looked through the series of him building the boat in 12 days last October.

MIK advised me tonight that he has got all of the photos together of me building PDR118 at the spring boatbuilding school put on by Duckflat Wooden boats at Hindmarsh Island.

Gee , it makes a clown like me look like I might even know what I'm doing !.
I guess its up to MIK if he makes it for general viewing , although I suspect you could get to it via his site.

If you do get to see it , look for the obvious cockup I , repeat I made , and later , you can see it corrected , no damage done .

I'll admit to being "all at sea" with this initially , I could only improve , and I did a bit , but if I can build a PDR , anyone can !.

You will note in the photos the "book" , it sure helped having such instruction available , and i'm sure MIK is improving it all of the time !.

I was steadily working away on what remains to be done , but we got a bushfire fright last night , so the boat is unfortunately on the "backburner" for now.
But congratulations MIK on putting this thing together (is it called a BLOG?) , its good !.
