Hank:

She knows and will definitely be involved. She actually helped a lot with my CLC deck when using the duct tape/no nails method.

I expect her part to include:

stitching, unstitching, sanding, and epoxying.

I will be doing most of the fiberglass and epoxy work as well as the finishing but only because I have some more experience. I am gonna try thinning the varnish this time. Plus the time of the year should help as well with keeping the varnish from being too viscous.

Ohh yeah, her part also includes paddling since I will barely fit in it. MOre reason to be building a late season boat for my dad since he is my sized and then I get to paddle it.

Thanks for the encouragement.
