Launched Sunday from Gooseberry Island, Westport, Massachusetts.

My first build and I want to thank John Bell for making this plan available for free. I also want to thank Ron Paro for his blog. I was extremely helpful.

I used marine grade plywood, MAS Epoxy and Pettit paints. Outside was covered in fiberglass cloth and epoxy. Stitch and glue construction. All joints are scarfed together.

I will be starting the Pilgrims Pride this winter. In the meatime I hope to be catching some striped bass off Westport over the next four weeks.
