Finally Finished. It has been a slice.

Great Auk shortened to 14ft. Eastern White cedar hull, Western Red cedar and pine deck with ash and paduk stems. Magnet hatches, inset padeyes. 38lbs outfitted.

8lbs lighter than the guilly.

Much more primary stability than the Guillemot so she is very comfortable in it.

Thanks to Nick for his books, blogs and this great forum.

Thanks to all of you for your questions, answers, blogs, posts websites, plans, etc, etc. I have referenced this board for just about every step of three builds so far and will continue to do so.
