Thread: My From-Scratch project

Tweet

this was the boat that I was building before I started the car. It was about 19 feet long, and was going to be a flat-bottom with double dagger board. I had a 12 foot wooden mast and was going to make it ketch-rigged with the mailsail, jib, and possibly a spinnaker.(I had a 4 foot widow-maker for the front.) It had rained alot this spring and summer up here in MI., so the water was getting to the wood and it wouldnt stop raining long enough for me to fiberglass the seams and coat the whole thing with resin. I needed the room in my driveway, and I was worried the landlord was going to complain, so I got rid of it. I might start a
flat bottom light schooner next spring.
