After a two year hiatus......

I started building Rich Kolin's "Catherine" during the summer of '02. I got ill in September and could not get back to the shop until January '03, when I was consumed with building "Meander", my Bolger LILY. Chuck G's "Grace" has lit a fire under my butt. Here are pictures of before 9/02:

Transom is mahogany, deadwood & keel are ipe (boy is that stuff hard), and stem & keelson are locust.

Next is planking, which I expect to be a bit of a challenge. Rick :rolleyes:

Cool!!

I hope you'll share lots of pix and keep us informed of the progress.

Are you going to put a sail rig on her, and if so, what?

I can't wait! You're gonna love her.

Yep Chuck, I intend to rig her for sail, though I am looking forward to her rowing qualities to. Perhaps a nice pair of Shaw & Tenny spoons....Rick :cool:
