Gord and Mike (Lehman),

I sent you each of-line emails similar to the one below on Friday but have
been having computer problems and I they might not have gotten to you but
might if I sent them on "the page."  Also, if anyone could help me get the
dimensions from the deck to waterline, I would greatly appreciate it.  I did
the bottom paint yesterday and, not knowing where to put the top, I held it
low and good old 148 now has a weird looking 18" deep boot stripe.

Here is the original email:

"Hope you and yours are well.  We just finished the sealer coat on good old
148's bottom; starting to see the light.  We are thinking, rather than
launch in the river this year and finish the interior while afloat; we might
just finish her on the trailer in July and August in time to get to The Bay
for the good September/October sailing.

 

We were going to launch without anit-fouling paint, let the dirty line from
the river water mark the water line, and add bottom paint in the fall.  But,
the new plan requires outside data to establish the top of the bottom paint.

 

If you are going aboard this weekend, might you please do me a big favor;
with no one on the boat (or at lease similar weight people at each end, then
each side), measure the height of the FG deck (not including, taffrail,
toerails, the stem plate and the wood under it) above the water at the bow,
stern and amidships.   I am trying to establish the top of my bottom paint
and if I know the waterline dimensions, I can establish my line.

 

Please call my cell with questions; no big deal if you don't have time.

 

Best,

 

Roger"
