Let's see
: some pictures and handling reports.

Well, I have some pictures still in the 35 mm camera that need to get developed and scanned, then I'll have some. Handling reports..... that may be a little time yet. At this point, I have the deck glassed interior and exterior, and the hull exterior. I've got a little more sanding on the hull interior, then I can glass that, but then I still have the cockpit coaming and lip, hatches, bulkheads, cheek plates, seat, back band, foot braces, seams, end pours, more fill coats and sanding, all the varnishing.... and probably a few things that I left off of the list.

The thing that really set me back was that I only had time to put in 16-1/2 hours in March, 22 hours in April and 10 hours in May. My kids activities are winding down for the summer, though, so I should have a couple months with ample opportunity to make good progress again.

I started on October 11, so I need to finish by then to keep my time under a year!!!! :-)
