Okay! It's finally time to get started on this winter's build!
The goal is to build the William Atkin designed Vintage (http://www.boat-links.com/Atkinco/Dinks/images/Vintage-1.gif) in time for the "I Built It Myself" show at the Wooden Boat Show in Mystic, CT.
Why Vintage? Several reasons.
First, I think it's time I tackled a round-bottom boat. Again, I think this is a project that is way above my current skill level, but I'm a real believer in the adage that people can do more than they think they can. Just because I doubt my ability to build such a complicated boat, is no reason to not do it.
Sounds weird, right? Ah well...
