All that's left to do (next weeks project) is install the jib, run the rigging lines for the mast, and a few little pieces of hardware. And then take the beauty photos! Attachment: skipjack08.jpg

Very nice! Reminds me a bit of the feluccas we took out on the bay in Karachi. I like a gaff rigged boat (not positive yours is, can't see far enough up the mainsail to be sure). We have a couple in our marina, very pretty to see.

Sweet! Why not travel 8 hours out here and we'll take you for a real sail boat ride? I really want to get back into building Balsa wood airplane models with Bee engines but then I think "Why not a Quad Air drone with camera" ? Well, it comes down to the building phase....DIY is so relaxing.
