Pop the hull off! First look.

This weekend was spent attaching the splashboards and laying the glass on the outside of the hull. Today I could pop her off the form. What a thrill! I need a scale, but I reckon the hull is between 6 and 8lbs, so with the 2 decks, the boat is currently still under 10lbs.




First look at how she'll shape up.

I'm happy.

  2. Very beautiful! I'm always mesmerized with the natural wood look. Have you tried single-layer veneer with Kevlar for the hull & milling ribs & stringers for carbon-fiber rods? You'd be amazed at the weight savings. Really beautiful boat, though! I love her! Well, maybe not as much as mine or you love her but still... I'm looking forward to following your blog!
    Cheers!
