How timely. I'll be starting a hybrid Night Heron for a CT customer in the week or so. Okoume hull with a lowered stripped-deck in Sapele. It'll have a lot of carbon work.
For most projects I try and post weekly updates during the builds on my blog. Currently I have full updates on the builds of three Black Pearls, 2 Njords, a canoe and an acoustic guitar (just to mix it up). I wish I had done a full workup when I built "Elsie."
