well it has been a quiet week and i was able to put in a big push on completing varnishing and then all the rigging.

sipping a bottle of champagne....hope to take her out for a paddle this coming weekend.

this petrel was a 'rescue' project. i picked up the kit bits from a couple in annapolis in October of 2015 who had it in their garage since 2008. the price.... cleaning out the garage.

the boat weighs in at 29.5 lbs and is built with S glass except for the external deck which is E glass and all the cedar strips were planed down to 3/16. she is stained with behrens mahogony and has a retractable skeg kit from superior kayaks. the rigging tie downs are webbing through the hull...

thanks for the help from the community :)
