What we did this summer

[Rick Tyler]

My sons and I built this Issaquah 17 in July and August to plans from JEM Watercraft . It is 4mm BS1088 Okoume with a layer of 6-ounce fiberglass inside and outside, with cherry and maple decks, ash seats, ash inwale and outwales with Oregon myrtle spacer blocks.

We'll paint it next spring -- we decided to paddle rather than paint in late August and September:

Yes, the son in front is using a paddle that is too long for him.

By next spring his arms'll probably be long enough to fit that paddle. :D

Gorgeous boat y'all built ! :cool: I hope y'all have lotsa' years of memories with it.

...and he doesn't seem to mind the paddle one bit! It looks like he can't think of a better place he would rather be!
