There is new  Arctic Tern Ready to get wet!!!!   Now  if I only had a paddle
and skirt I could find a lake to try her.


I can't wait to get in and go.  I still need to varnish and SAND  and I am
still tinkering with deck rigging but once I get my self accessorize I be off.




Thanks to David Murray, Brian Jernigan, Shawn Baker for their encouragement
back in November when I started. Your tips help smooth things out.

Congrats on the completion of your boat.   Now you have two choices.  Get
that paddle and sprayskirt and go out and paddle it, or start building
another one.

You can build a boat and can't make a paddle? Even for trial use?

Skirt, why? A trial isn't an expedition. I trialled the Mist without hatch
covers, airbags or skirt.

>I still need to varnish and SAND

Get it wet, a good way to wash off any epoxy residues.

The "T-class" boat was all wired up this weekend, epoxy starting to be
flowed down the keel and chines, might have it in the water next weekend
for a trial paddle - then the decks go on.
