It Floats! It Floats! My creation Floats!
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!

A special moment indeed… and it shows in the face of the last photo. Well done (again) mate and happy sailing!

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

Couldn't resist it Flydog.

But in all seriousness - that's a beautiful creation. Congratulations.
