Although doing so would undoubtedly allay (some of) your fears.... not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent!

The beauty of these boats, IMO, is the forgiveable nature inherent in gluing a bundle of cedar strips together, fairing, sanding, etc. First build is the toughest - none of the steps is difficult, they're all just 'new to you'. All I can say is, relax, enjoy the process, don't rush. If you 'screw up' - nothing in this build is irreparable.

Kinda nice; would that life was so simple, eh?
