Hoisting the 4'X23' planking stock definitely took two guys. When I do another hull of this type this is the manner in which planks will be finished. Turned the hull in April and began the interior work. Summer slowed the work somewhat. The long hours of winter-darkness lend themselves to concentrated building.
Spars are natural growth white spruce.
My photos don't show the forward hatch my son suggested we include. I'll try to photograph the details and include them soon. Took the boat to Lake Superior last summer for some big-water sailing. Didn't go too far out but felt secure all the time. Prudently left harbor with a reef, ended the trip full sail and ripping along.
