I've finished the frame. I just need to go shoot some seals. They are pretty rare in Long Island Sound, but I should be able to get enough after a few trips.

Actually, I was most interested in the frame and now that it is done the project is on the back burner. I just need to order the nylon. I'll get back to it in time for the Meet at the Beach. I have some other boats I want to build by then also. I'll post some pictures of the finished frame soon.

: Before Christmas, you were making great progress on the frame of your
: skin-on-frame boat. And the step-by-step photos were truly inspirational.
: I figured by New Year's day, we would see the finished boat. But nothing
: new has been posted.

: What's going on? Did you finish the frame, and abandon the project because
: the wood work was done? Did you finish the boat, and are waiting for the
: "Meet at the Beach" for the unveiling? Or was it just too many
: holiday parties?

: Please Nick, we need closure.
