Hydro kits

The following is the story behind this very cool project.From a previous post.

For those of you unfamiliar with the project, The Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum (HARM) in Seattle is working with six new J Drivers and their families to construct and ultimately race 6 new J hydros for the 2006 racing season.
The boats are being built at HARM south of Seattle, as a joint venture between HARM, Seattle Outboard Association and a lot of other great folks donating or greatly discounting time and materials.

This week, Darrell Sorensen arrived in Seattle with five of the six kits and was present for the first 2 hr building session. This week, parents and drivers took a quick inventory of each part in the kit to make sure all the pieces were there, and went through the process of dry-fitting the frames and stringers. Next week, the real fun begins as the Systems Three and fasteners come out and pieces start getting fit for real. We have Darrell up here for one more week, and then we are on our own. We are fortunate enough to have a number of accomplished boat builders assisting, such as JW Myers, J Michael Kelly, Tony and Mike Perman, Ric Montoya, Rocky Peterson and Jimi Oberto there to help and offer technical advice to the fledgling boat builders. Rumor even has it we may see Ed Karelsen down some weekend, if we can get him to put his RC Airplane in the hangar for a weekend.
