What's that in the shed window, in the last pic?

... makes a fine looking hat!

What design is that, and how does it handle under sail?

[Keith Wilson]

That's "Blackfly", right? Lovely, lovely.

Another good thing about ply lapstrake is that it requres less sanding than any other construction method I know of, and I HATE sanding. The plywood is already smooth off the truck, and the epoxy drips come right off with heat.

Just some cedar boards, Donn. I built a new boathouse last week, and was going to use the cedar for a ramp. I ended up recycling an old dock for the job.

JP, it's my own design...Blackfly (http://www.comnet.ca/~btmo/)

Handles pretty well...a lot like a Sunfish (which is not surprising, given the specs).

You said it, Keith...easiest build I've done yet.
