    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
