Attention please, beware those pictures are taken with an HD video camera so you really see everything! When I see the pictures for the first time I thought, trow it away and make a new one….. Now I'm thinking, ok, she is old so it not have to be perfect and smooth surface. It looks now if she sails a few times      | ||

It's looking good now though. Will it be coppered and painted or are you leaving it as varnished wood?
As it happens I'm also building ship's boats at the moment. I've got four of them and the smallest was definitely the hardest. Do you only have one or are there more to come? | ||
