Heron Newsletter 3 Dec 2004, Vol 43 No 4 “My Excellent School Project” Katrina Ham I have just finished year 12 at Brisbane Girls Grammar School where my favourite subject was Technology Studies. In this subject GG 10224 a student is required to design, make and appraise a project over three terms. I had decided I that I wanted to build a Heron. Initially the school and teachers were not in favour of the idea, however once I explained the simplicity of the stitch and glue construction method they were a lot more confident. Almost all of term 1 was spent designing and planning how I would construct the boat and what materials would be used. During this time the boat was named GG, which stands for George’s Girlfriend. The name came about as follows: One day I was explaining to a friend how in my written assignment (over 100 pages) I had to talk about how the hydrodynamics of the boat affect the speed. My friend who knew that I sailed a boat named ‘George The Boat’ (4656) understood what I meant when I said, “I’m lucky because George has a good “arse”. Another friend who overheard the sentence was suddenly asking me about a guy named George, wanting to know all his information. That is how the name GG was chosen. By the beginning of the Easter holidays all the material had been purchased and the construction started. As the boat could not be transported during some stages of construction and fibreglassing isn’t allowed at school due to Workplace Health and Safety, the boat was built at home. Just about every weekend during terms 2 & 3 was spend downstairs on the boat. As well as every day, bar one, of the June/ July holidays. The first difficulty faced during construction was in regard to the jig. After it was discovered that the jig I had intended to use was incomplete and unavailable, my father got the plans of the jig and built one to the plans provided. Further modifications to the jig were also required and affected without delaying my project. (All these modifications have been incorporated into the official jig plans now available) Building a boat is an interesting experience. It took about a week before I got sick of the marking out, cutting out and sanding. One process that I was most worried about was the bending of the ply at the bow. In the end lots of hot water and weights were used to bend the ply to shape. Once the ply was bent, the stitching and gluing was done. Then after the keel was glued on it was time to take the boat off the jig. By this time it was the beginning of the June holidays, which happened in my case to not really be a holiday but a boat-building exercise. Heron Newsletter 4 Dec 2004, Vol 43 No 4 The centreboard case was an interesting part of the boat. Getting it to fit was a pain and then once it was in getting the Gunwhale Gossip! centreboard to fit was a problem as there had been an error in the plans which made the casing a centimetre too low. This Some unanswered questions problem was fixed by taking some material out of the thwart remain.... does Mrs Lorraine bearers, however it can still be seen in the boat, as GG’s fore thwart is higher than the top of the case unlike other boats. Portbury know about “George’s (These modifications have been incorporated into the official Girlfriend”….. and George’s “good plans now available) arse” ? By the end of the non-existent school holidays everything had been constructed except the deck. Once that was on, all that was left to do was sanding and painting. “George the Boat” was originally named after George Portbury of My mother will never forget (but hopefully eventually forgive) the amount of dust I created and stomped around the house. Hervey Bay. George and his sons Sanding took forever (or so it seemed). Once the boat was Colin, Steven and Daryl sailed fitted out, GG was finally finished. I was nervous on Measurement Day as this was the first stitch and glue Heron. Herons in the 80’s and 90’s. Once I was told that it passed the measurement requirements, some of the nerves were relieved. The next day however, I had to take my technology teacher for a sail when GG was launched and christened. That was interesting as Mr. Devoy had never been in a boat without a motor. Though sorely tempted I did not give in to the temptation to “accidentally” capsize.
