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.

Here's a write up on the Mill Creek 16.5 (if you are really interested and/or bored)

I've chosen to construct a 'hybrid' version of the Mill Creek, which means the deck will be 'strip built' using cedar strips instead of the mahogony plywood that will be used for the hull and shear. Here's a pic of pattern I will attempt using the strips (minus the American Indian graphic):
