Reference

Just thought I would post the link to Arch Davies site so you could see what the boat should look like when finished.

Penobscot 14

If you click on this link News, Stories & Photos you will see a few examples of other people efforts.

Getting started

Well its all underway now. I checked the credit card and there is an entry there from Arch Davies Boat Designs indicating that the fax has been received and the plans are on their way. $260 including postage for the plans, a study pack, and a two hour video on how to build the boat and boat building techniques.

I got the family to help clean out the garage over the weekend so that I now have plenty of space to start building. My wife was a bit surprised at the size of the boat when we measured it out on the floor of the garage. I must admit I was a bit surprised myself, 14 feet does not sound like much but it is a resonble size to for your first boat building experience.

I can't wait until the plans get here.
