Jodi is going to love this Mick!
Your phone is going to start ringing with prospective customers for a boat from "The Mick"

G'day Lee,

I hope she does mate.

re customers, not at all interested in selling any of my Jem boats. I just couldn't imagine actually building one for sale. I get too attached to them during the build.

G'day Ron, Probably a couple of weeks yet. While she is right to get wet now, I want to get her pretty much finished and am resisting the temptation.

Now she is taking shape, I can really see the potential for this type of craft for fishing and touring. With a Laker Style deck set up, she would make a very good, bigger person, touring kayak.

Meanwhile, I have been playing with her bottom today. :D

Dang Mick
I am having a hard time waiting for you to take her for a walk, I think I am as excited as you are about this boat.

This boat, as she is now. is lighter than my Laker which came in at 15.2 or .3 kilograms. (34 pounds) I am guessing she is probably about 30 pounds without hatches.

This is the last of my very light ply. All subsequent builds will be significantly heavier.
Regards,
Mick

Getting there !

Hull is finished and varnish is on, Letting that cure for a few days then a quick cut and polish -
then Fit Out. - hatches, carry handles etc. 8) 8)

This is the first and last boat that I will ever build by eye. My build has taken at least twice as long as it should have simply because I did NOT build to Matts lovely drawings. I will NEVER do this again.

Matt, I have learnt my lesson well here.

I think I see a notch where, maybe, one and a half more boats could be squeezed in. Maybe.
