Hi, Ross Lillistone is building a design similar to Lapwing. If you look at page 3 of the Periwinkle construction photos, the latest few show his solution. Yes, I know he's a different designer, but the construction sequence is interresting to anyone looking at a lapstrake boat. The site is here: http://www.baysidewoodenboats.com.au/

Hi Dennis, You are doing a great job. It certainly helps that the designer is there 'on call' I've looked at every 15' boat there is and I think the CS15 is finally 'it' It needs to be compared with other 15' boats, not with the CS 17 or 20. I am still probably years off starting, realistically, but projects like yours and another in the 'studying the plans' stage near me keep the interest level up. Keep the posts and especially the photos coming, they are appreciated.
