Well, while the rest of us have been talking about building one of these pretty things, a sometime poster to this board has his hull done and glassed and should be starting on the deck about now. I'm assuming he wants to remain anonymous at present. The boat looks great, and according to him, wasn't difficult to strip at all (he did it in a week). Of course, he's done two Outer Islands, a Panache, and more. Point is, the boat looks terrific, including the bow and tail. Rob's done a nice one. Go for it.
