Re: Homebuilt Wooden Boat ... Winter Project!
Well done! Nice clean lines. You will, no doubt, enjoy the heck out of it. Nothing better than fishing in something that you built.... or at least worked on some yourself.
Presume you used some plans. I built a dory some 20 years ago. Amazing, it floated.

Hey yes i had some basic plans from the net but i took them (pdf file) to a friend who is an architech and she was able to correct a few drafting mistakes and give all measurements and angles which made the build so much more easy! on top of that she printed 3'x3' blue prints to make it easy to read!
Thanks
