This is my first ever build of a boat. Plank on frame scratch built from plans. Started off slowly with a few glitches, basically not knowing what I was doing. So far the progress seems to have gone pretty well.

Well that's it for the mo. feels pretty smooth, a couple of very minor blemishes, but nothing worth worrying about. The casting of the lead weight seems a bit daunting though.
