'Wolf', 'Gertie' and the Canoe

On September 8th, the yacht tender 'Wolf' was completed and sent out to be shipped to the Ukraine. We were all happy with the way she turned out. I've included some pictures of her hand carved name plate and sail rig.

Since the last post, the Christmas Wherry 'Gertie' has been progressing steadily. As of today, the inside has received her final coat of oil and the bottom only needs a couple of more coats of paint.

As we finish up the final bits of finishing on the Christmas Wherry, we have also started working on the lapstrake canoe again. We've installed her cutwaters, outer keel, sister keels, gunwales, inwales, spreaders the seat and the floorboards are almost complete as well.
