: I'm always in awe at you guys who can build a boat in days or
: weeks. Both of my yost-style SOF boats have taken me a year a
: piece from start to finish.

: My mother and I just spent the weekend skinning the boat. I'm very
: impressed with how few wrinkles we have in the PVC material. She
: does upholstery for a living and was aghast at having wrinkles
: at all. Part way into the second day, she announced that she
: made peace with the wrinkles and emphatically stated it was the
: hardest thing she's ever upholstered.

: As always, Tom - I can't thank you enough for your site,
: instructions and guidance. Same to everyone on this forum- your
: questions + answers have been uber helpful as I've progressed
: along with these boats. I was literally laughed at when I told
: my family that I was building a boat. So far I have 1 huge
: success and this one appears to be rounding out to be quite
: successful, as well.

: I'm going to epoxy the coaming tonight and then have a couple of
: spots of reinforcements that I need to take care of (stems,
: chine + keel lines). I hope to launch her sometime this week.

: More photos at Facebook (but everyone can see them):

Actually for PVC there are very few wrinkles on this one, nice job :)

I've seen nylon covered boats with more wrinkles than that.
