: Nice boat. Is it the standard sea tour 15 exp by yost or is there
: any change?
: I just notice there is no "recess" on the section's
: profiles... so they will probably push the skin there.

: I also wonder what wood is it.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying building it. :)

This is a standard sea tour 15 though I'm trying to work out an integral skeg arrangement in the back, otherwise no change. As for the recess, I was going to cut those out after I had made them, but I got so carried away assembling things and watching it turn into a boat frame I forgot to cut them, so now I've got to try to cut them out later. I figure once the frame is out of the strongback I can flip it upside down and cut/rasp them out easier. Definitely a major DOH moment when I saw that.

The stringers are redwood, the plywood is somethingorother high grade from Lowe's.
