Job well done!
She is a good carpenter and a drafts-person too. lol
Hope she has a much fun in hers as our daughter in the sea flea.

It's time for a new boat for her, she has outgrown the Sea Flea. The Seabee or the Kidarka? Why did you choose the Kidarka?

I asked what kind of boat she wanted and she said " I want another skin on frame, not one of those silly wood boats!" Kodoos to Tom Yost

: My daughter worked with me every step of the way. She did all of
: the jigsaw cutting, all the sanding as well as all the
: finishing.
: We took it out last evening and really tore it up. She had no
: trouble whatsoever. It tracks very well, she chased her brother
: all over the pond.
: My only gripe is: I was so worried about the skin being tight that
: I pulled some of the camber out of the rails between the forms.
