Thanks to both of you... Disteltk, any advice is greatly appreciated. Rick any time you're bored give me call. Maybe you can keep me from messing up!

I've started building my BRS 15 and need to see if anyone else has built one and would help with some instructions. Under the heading of "Installing the Keel Batten" on the top right hand side of the Hull Assembly Side page I am missing the first 2 steps. For some reason they didn't print. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Robert

Rick, Look forward to seeing everyone this coming weekend. I should be around home, Washington, Friday and Saturday morning if anyone needs a hand. If we have extra boats needing someone to haul them to and from the event just let me know. 252-940-8107

Thanks for the advice. Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe New Years!

New build, new builder. I have limited woodworking experience so hopefully this will resemble a boat when I'm done instead of just a pile of lumber. Time will tell. I've spent a good amount of time going through this and other forums, so much so I feel I already know many of you. Going through this process I'm sure I will need to lean on many of you so thanks in advance for your advice. Hope to hear from some "amateur" BRS builders. Speaking of advice, I guess it's time to start asking questions. Just 2 for right now. For a BRS, should I use Okoume or Meranti? I'm not terribly concerned with weight, my last sailboat was around 11,000lbs. The boat will spend most of it's time on a trailer in a garage. For the sides and bottom should I scarf or use a butt joint? Thanks, Robert
