Mast Partner

This is a time consuming part of the project. Lots of measuring and positioning to be done. Mast partner supports are in place. Once they are secure the mast partner will be removed again for shaping.

The skeg has been on for a while but this is a picture of it......

Coming together nicely

Winter finally arrives

For all you folks who have never been to the shop I thought you'd appreciate some "local color". Needless to say, that color is white.

Enjoy!

Another project in the works

This classic St. Lawrence skiff is in need of a new keel.
It has taken a lot of time and patients to remove all the rot.
Now that all the rot is gone a board is selected to build the new keel.
