That is awesome! I am also building an Atlantic 19'. I have about four more strips to go on the deck except the cockpit recess. Mine's not as elaborate, and I'm very impressed with your work. I am using an alternating wrc and white pine pattern on the deck to look like an old caulked deck with the white pine mimmicking the caulk lines. I did have a little trouble with the tough bends on the hull, and I'm using stapleless construction. I had to put some cheater nails here and there, but nobody will know... okay, now everyone will know. I only have a month left before I move across the water to an island where I will certainly need it! After much time spent researching designs I must say I am very glad I picked this one... no offense to the other fine designs out there. Keep us posted, and I will try to get a pic posted of mine as soon as I figure out this homepage I signed up for. Now what was that doggone password???!!!
