Hello everyone! IIII'm back! After nine months of work my "second child" was born today! Her name is CHARLOU. She is 12 ft long , 48 in in the beam and weighs 180lbs. I could'nt wait for my freind to show me how to sail her, so I took her out on the lake and rowed her around with my family. What a pleasure!
Enjoy the pics!

Nice job. Great looking boat.
Now, if you can just paint the trailer a colour that won't clash with the boat...... :p

Couldn't resist it Flydog.
But in all seriousness - that's a beautiful creation. Congratulations.
Good job Flydog.
Berg, I'm a bit worried about you. What's that saying about idle hands? :p

The plans came from www.brooksboats.net. It is called "Ellen"
Took her out under sail yesterday for the first time. She handled great! I will be getting better photos under sail at a later date.
