It's a cute little thing.

But I don't know how it would build...

Test,

Two of these have been assembled in my shop. I still have the station
forms if you are near to SE Michigan.

Both sailed well when completed and one severed as the owners tender for
a number of years. It does row tow and sail effectively.

It is very hard to camouflage the required screw holes if you choose to
keep it as a bright finish.

Do you plan to buy the kit or just the plans? Buy the plans first in
any case (They will credit you that cost if you later decide to buy the
kit.)

Thanks Matt,
Sorry about the "test" I will change that..

I was hoping to find ( borrow) the forms as you have offered and scratch
build using the plans. The kit may be a better way to go, time and searching
for material but I enjoy the assembly as much as the finished product. Plus
all the cash up front is hard to get past the finance committee. I have
built a small one sheet skiff with my boys and that was a lot of fun.

I am in Central West Florida... So unless you are driving down for the
winter I am out of luck. I do appreciate the offer.

How was the boat to build over all? Is it fairly straight forward just watch
your measurements, be sure its fair and true and test fit before mixing
anything or making holes. Right..

But isn't the Nutshell a _plywood_ pram?
I wouldn't think the forms amount to much for that one.

Richard,
It is a plywood boat, and I'm sure the forms are easy enough to make. I
wanted to save a step.
