I built this just recently, after waayyy too long a process. This was the first day it was in the water.

Not a lot of rocker. Outer Island? Redfish design?

Redfish Spring Run.

I'm building a boat that looks very close to this one, and hope to eventually build one I can live on for cruising.

Plans and cut sheets or full kit? That looks to be a sweet little boat.

Just plans. I'll start building the molds soon, and ordering the plywood for the hulls hopefully by October?

Working on boats for me involves a lot of standing around with a beer in my hand watching stuff dry, or thinking about what to cut next. It will take a while.

I have been remolding my house in this same fashion. It's difficult to explain this method's efficacy to the uninitiated.

Time for a IGX sailing club!

Let's get our own sub-forum and not let the Russians in.

I will Never do another blue water race again. Ever.
Never.

Inland Sea races and lots of drinky drinks please.

You fuckers have this shit figured out. My projects involve an accumulation of material with a slowly building level of motivation followed by a fucking whirlwind of work with no beer or rest.

I think my results speak for themselves.....

Whatever works. You can sail on the Delta down here, except for getting wiped out around a blind corner.

I'm just down to put a boat in the water and if we sink it, we sink it. Grip it and rip it, hear me knockin?
