Here is the first boat. It is built like a brick shithouse, 7/8" Cypress planks on 1 1/2" oak frames. The keel is a solid 6x12 oak timber. There are at least 100 lbs of bronze screws in this thing.

My buddy and I built it and when he moved out west he didn't want to take it with him and I had no where to keep it so we gave it to some old codger up in Maine. I wonder if it's still in the water.

Here is the centerboard trunk in place and most of the planks in place.

The other shot is of it under sail, a month or two later.
