Swifty 14
My name is Keith, I will be building a Swifty 14 sailboat kit from Shell Boats http://www.shellboats.com/ My helpers along the way will be my nephew Greg and my father Frank. I plan on finishing the boat by the time the ice melts. This is my first boat build and I hope you follow along as the process unfolds.

I glued the bulk head in this weekend. Didn't get as much as I wanted but I need to remember this is a project for the entire winter.

Got some more done today but I had to cut it short so I can fix the broken break cable on my jeep.

I had a very productive weekend. I finished all the sanding of the interior and got my first coat of epoxy down.
