Had so much fun with sailboat #1....



So, this is not my second sailboat project,  this is a picture of my first boat. I had a great time building , and even more sailing it with my family. After sailing in it for year and a half I realize there was a lot of things that I wish I had done better or  differently, so decided to build a second one. 


After a lot of consideration, I decided to go with just a little bit bigger boat with very similar lines to the first.   Bought blueprints from the Glen-l company,  and started on the boat in December 2015. so far I would estimate I've spent about 50 hours on the boat, and have spent a little over $1000 on marine grade plywood, and mahogany and white oak lumber.

    1. Awesome, first mate! The boat is coming along nicely. In a couple of days I'll post some more pictures. I'm trying not to rush, but it might actually be ready to sail this summer.
