Finis

Boat is now done!

No pictures because they would be indistinguishable from the last ones. 

I will get some pics of the launch day when it happens.  Thinking about doing it on Earth Day, since the boat is about 75% recycled materials anyway, but not sure I can get enough time with the family to do it then, and I want to do a family launching. 

Now I have to think of a name....something with 'deck' in it would be appropriate given that the timber is largely reused decking.  Maybe Poop Deck or something....


More to come on launch day!!!!

Nearly done

Lots of stuff since the last update.  I've been terrible about pictures on it though. 

Boat has been flipped, seams taped and glassed, sanded several times, coated with white polyurethane.  False stems and keel strip were varnished and attached.  Boat was righted again, and varnished on the interior.  Still a couple coats to go.

Davis oarlocks are on order and should be here Wednesday.  After they get here, I'll finish the oarlock pads and install the oarlocks.  Then a bit of cleaning up on the trailer and this boat is DONE.  Feels good to be so close now.
