After exactly two months of construction, my Northeaster Dory finally got splashed with lake water. If you are interested in seeing some pictures and a couple of brief video clips, I have posted them here:

Beautiful boat Jeff and congratulations! I wish I had your speed.

Thanks, Hooper. But I have to admit that if I were more patient, I could have taken a run at creating a showroom boat. That's not me, though, and it's not really the boat I want. I've been addicted to the building process and to seeing progress . . . and I've been driven on by the prospect that winter weather will bring an end to epoxy work in my unheated garage.
Maybe I'll build a showroom boat next time -- perhaps a CLC kayak that comes apart at a bulkhead and becomes two pieces of livingroom sculpture when not in use! I've seen some pictures but can't remember which boat.
The Shearwater Sport breaks down into three pieces and is a very good all round boat.
That's it! The Sectional Shearwater Sport. But it's so beautiful that I might always leave it in the livingroom as a work of art.
