My new Guillemot got wet for the first time today. This was my first strip-built boat, and I am pleased with the results thanks to all the good advice I gleaned from this forum and several websites.

During the building process, I kept a chronicle of the building process on my web site that I would like to share with you. This being my first boat, you will see that I used many of the techniques described on this forum. If imitation is a high form of flattery, I hope several on this forum will be pleased to see their ideas implemented on my boat.

It is not as error-free as many of the boats I see in photos on this forum, but I am very proud.

Thank you all for the wonderful ideas, and especially Nick Schade for hosting this forum.
