I knew you'd have some clever method! I'm glad I asked. I learn so much from your threads - I love your style, Bruce. Thanks for all the great info!

OK, I said the weather was perfect - in 8 days it only rained 2 days but I just happened to grab two photos from the rainy days...really it was sunny!

I regret not seeing the Vasa when I visited in 2010 (August and the weather was perfect) - it's the "most visited museum in Scandinavia." We did almost every boat tour our kids would tolerate...

I thought the black pipe/pole was in the background, but it's apparently part of the ship. Not that it really matters, but any idea what it is? The world's largest sampson post?

I found some really nice Western Redcedar at Pine Cone Lumber in Sunnyvale (my neck of the woods). 16 foot clear 5/8 inch boards, 2x4 of various lengths with grain like:

Hmmm. Interesting history lesson - google finds references on other forums to the thread that was apparently deleted by our hosts. Here's a relatively recent reference:...

So...when I saw the original listing in October, the $2500 price was out of my range. Thanks to Thorne's post and the price reduction, I decided to take another look. I also decided to see the boat...

I've considered it - but the photos on the Spaulding Center "Boat Finder" don't show it having a yellow hull:

Good choice for a first build - are you going to skin it with PVC Yost-style or nylon/polyester skinboat/kudzucraft/dgentry/capefalcon-style?

This has been my constant inspiriration for my Yost...

Well, after more research, especially into leather sewing machines, Todd is spot-on. These things are expensive and not often portable. Todd, thanks for your wisdom and diplomacy - in this thread...

The real problem with the Sailrite LSZ-1 is the price - if it were made in the US or Germany or even Japan they would have some justification for charging almost $900 for a very simple sewing...
