Greetings...

Well it's been a while since the last boat project, I've apparently forgotten about the nightmares (well actually I'm still having them) with the previous restorations (insert links here). This project has no old parts, no rough sewn wood, no motors and NO PARTNERS. Nope this time around it's a kit, precut parts, instructions and tutalege from the folks at CLC Boats.

The journey begins...

Before gluing up (epoxy + cabosil) the scarfed joints, you protect the wood with clear packing tape and good ole wax paper to avoid a lot of extra sanding when the epoxy squeezes out. Next step is to lay out and tack down the scarfed joints of the sheer, bilge, and hull panels. A straight line ensures proper scarf alignment using set distances at the middle of each scarf.
