All that's left to do (next weeks project) is install the jib, run the rigging lines for the mast, and a few little pieces of hardware.
And then take the beauty photos!

Very nice! Reminds me a bit of the feluccas we took out on the bay in Karachi. I like a gaff rigged boat (not positive yours is, can't see far enough up the mainsail to be sure). We have a couple in our marina, very pretty to see.

The Skipjack sailboat design arose near the end of the 19th century, as an oyster dredger in shallow Maryland waters.
Never had any designs or numbers on the sails so the model will stay bare canvas.

Sweet! Why not travel 8 hours out here and we'll take you for a real sail boat ride?
I really want to get back into building Balsa wood airplane models with Bee engines but then I think "Why not a Quad Air drone with camera" ? Well, it comes down to the building phase....DIY is so relaxing.
