Trying something new...

 One of the boys wants to use his boat for fly-fishing and was looking for a way to get a more stable platform.  He put together a foam pontoon from art department left-overs and we did a trial with some wood pieces I had in the shop.  Too short to take a good paddle stroke, but we got some data and can try again.  He was actually able to stand in the boat with this set-up, though that is not really necessary for his purposes.

April 23rd Shop Walk-through


Getting closer.  Skinning is nearly done and coating to happen soon.  Still some details, to wrap up, like varnishing floorboards, rubrails and seats, as well as stem-bands.  Should have time to make some rudimentary paddles, though.
