Thanks to Tom Yost for the detailed instructions & photos.
My daughter worked with me every step of the way. She did all of the jigsaw cutting, all the sanding as well as all the finishing.
We took it out last evening and really tore it up. She had no trouble whatsoever. It tracks very well, she chased her brother all over the pond.
My only gripe is: I was so worried about the skin being tight that I pulled some of the camber out of the rails between the forms.
