Hello Hello, it has been awhile since I last logged on and am sad to say that there is not much more progress to report. We have the seat supports and the bilge supports in, the boat flipped over we have glassed the entire exterior and installed much of the exterior trim. We fought a lot of the hardwood and ended up going with dougfir runners with hard wood caps. We will begin sanding soon and hope to bring it to paint before the winter sets in and maybe just for fun put the boat in some water just to feel it afloat. August is winding down and our time to work in the sun is now becoming limited, we hope to have a productive summer and put the boat in the water as soon as ice is out. In the mean time I'm still learning to sail my 11 ft Coble that I built last year, another design from Selway-Fisher. Much trial and error on that one but for the most part I am staying dry. We hope to have that in the water pretty extensively over the next couple of weeks. I hoped to be telling stories about the Chincoteague under sail this year and am sorry that's not a reality. The dream still lives, and we are not giving up on it just yet. Good luck to rest of you.
