    I saw it in person years ago, it looked like the person who designed the stealth bomber decided to build a stealth sailboat. So sleek, so much curved wood. Really gorgeous.

    We managed to get the boat to the shipyard Monday, hauled the keel today. I expect 6 to 8 days yet before we put it on the bay. Then a couple days and we bring it to Bandon for a week
    or two. Probably bring it up to Portland then for some Canvas work.

    Ha! Yeah, I didn't take any. It was about 4 days of asshole and elbows time for me, but others did. I will post them on the website when I receive them.
    I believe my brother has a little ceremony worked out for launch day.

    It's very impressive that you did all of this with your bare hands.

    I don't think it gets much cooler than this.
