PICTURES - I DEMAND PICTURES!!!
Here's more than you want to know about the Amazing Scientific Dinghy from
git-go

The last pics are couple weeks ago, since then I've finished the inner
skin, trimmed the edges of the hull down to the final sheer line, and
built & installed the center thwart, and made a template for the aft seat
(which will of course be a fancy curved one, like the classics). To finish
up I need to build & install the bow & stern seats, laminate across the
top of the gun'l, flip it & fair the outside of the hull, paint it, mount
the hardware & rubrail.
The intent was to make a classic Whitehall-styled rowing dink, more stable
and easier to row than any in production, of carbon fiber & foam core so
it would also be a one-hand job to lift & stow (or launch) it. We'll see.

Nice job and I admire the patience you obviously have.
