skerry Build

My Dad and I started our build last April, and after much rushing about at the end, transported her down to Cornwall last Monday! This was our first boat build - which was a pretty steep learning curve, as we built from the plans. Neither of us had even heard of a scarf joint before reading the study guide.

I will attempt to get some more photos uploaded, in the correct order. I will say at this point that we, my father and I had a moment about 3months into the build, where we both agreed that the kit might have been a better option.... our building schedule comprised of some Saturday afternoons when I could convince the kids to come and help  - drill holes in a boat or other jobs....
