Looking forward to hearing how you like your Cape Ann in the water. How's that for fast forward?
I finished a Cape Ann STORM last November and have been very happy with the boat. But I had to take it to Florida for a week, so I'm just now putting on the final finish. The sequence Vaclav has in the manual for glassing is a good one. Worked out very well for building my Storm. If you think you might build a Laughing Loon boat, I'd recommend buying the plans now so you have Rob's instructions, too. Having both made for a great cross reference for building technique. Now if I could only get started on that Shooting Star...
