[Paddlewise] Proud Pappa of a New Strip Built Boat

Pardon the trivial posting.... I just wanted to share my joy a little
bit.  I built a strip built boat.  It's the Outer Island designed by Jay
Babina of Jason Designs.

Here's a link to some webshots pics, although the quality of the pics is
very poor.  I need to learn how to use the software to get the
electronic pics to look as good as the printed ones...

The boat is 17'10" long by 20" wide.  It is a Greenland style boat, with
an Ocean Cockpit and flush hatches.  It's fast, tracks great but turns
easily and is reported to roll effortlessly (I don't have a roll, yet,
so I haven't tried that)

Last week, I posted about the power boater who harassed me, then ran up
on a Sandbar.  The bulk of these pictures were taken about 5 minutes
before that incident, so you can see the area in which it took place.
Not that that really matters, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
