Yippeee!! A new toy to try out! Looks good, Doug.


Thanks. You're signing on for the trial voyage, right? I already have
the oars.

If I had more time, I'd complete a sailing rig for it, but I'm losing my
work shop next week.

You betcha....I'm game...

More new pics

The fairing layer, partly sanded off.

Last few dabs of fairing, first few dabs of paint

If the weather stays nice (clear, highs around 70) I will be
able to finish sanding the hull and get a full coat of paint
laid on this afternoon. The interior needs a little bit more
sanding but is 99.9% ready to be painted also.

I am hoping that some time next week, I will be able to
report how the thing works!

Looking good Doug, how many horses do you suppose you could hang on the
transom, I want to go water-skiing!

Cheers
Marty

Hmm, the bouyancy calculation went up to 650 lbs... that
means it should easily hold one of JimC's 70hp outboards...

Without the Mac I suppose... in that case it isn't a sailboat.

That ought to do it, probably sail better with a bedsheet, broomstick
and canoe paddles for leeboards than Jim's too!
