First canoe off the forms.
With all but one rib in place, it was high time to take this boat off of the forms. This makes it a bit easier to get in and lash, but mostly it is fun to really appreciate how light this boat will be.

Sassafras 16 with gunwales in place.

I like to say this is when we put ALL of our clamps on display.


With the gunwales in place, we will be ready to turn this over an really go to work on the hull - filling the lap-stitch joint, cleaning up the ends and sanding everything, in preparation for the glassing of the hull.
