: What a great six month project this has been and no doubt the most
: rewarding piece of woodworking in my 60 years. Many thanks to a
: bunch of helpful people here and to Nicks book and videos.
: So today I took her to a local lake and after some difficulty
: getting into the cockpit.......we were off! Having only paddled
: a poly 12' boat once, I was surprised how tippy she was but just
: a few hours in the water made a big difference. Getting out was
: interesting too.
: Here's a few pics of the boat, one to prove I was in the water. No
: pics of my entrance and exit.

: Ian
: Very nice, furniture quality, i'd be proud of that too, enjoy, Kevin
