: Just finished a Petrel, but for fine-tuning the cockpit outfitting.
: Built it mostly of western red cedar, some very dark boards, some
: light. The sheer strip is of Alaskan cedar, the coaming and
: stems of poplar. Tinted the hull with Trans-tint blue, which
: took on an aquamarine/turquoise hue under the amber of epoxy and
: varnish... my artist friends tell me the color is called phlatho
: (after a blue green fungal decay on downed wood found in forests
: near here). Looks beautiful on the water and paddles great!
: Plan to take it out tomorrow for sea trials in the remnants of
: Earl.
