You set up a tent on a pitching boat in a howling wind and rain storm and crawl into your cold, sloshing, rain soaked boat for the night. And I'll capture the whole sorry sight on vid from the snug, warm comfort of my cabin.

For what it's worth, I think building a glued lapstrake boat upside down has some substantial advantages over building her rightside up. For one thing, the direction the goo wants to drip on the outside of the laps where you need a fillet to seal the exposed edge of the plywood ...

So there is a new sheet added to the Penguin plans, its easier to build than the centerboard version, will suit very shallow waters even better than the original, the boat has more space inside and a possible source of leaks has been eliminated. That means that Penguin now has three rig options, centerboard, bilge keel and leeboard options and ...
