Progress on the Dory



We spent another Thursday evening and got the boat wired together. The next step is to epoxy the interior joints and then we can remove the wire stitches. We may be motoring on a lake later in June.

Composite Materials Merit Badge



This is it, the keel has been laid and the hull is taking shape for our new Boy Scout Troop boat. It is a little over 15' long and will be powered by an outboard motor when we are done. The plywood is a special marine grade and was imported from France. Can we call it 'Freedom Wood'?

When it is completed it will have fulfilled the requirements for our Composite Materials Merit Badge.
