First Sail Boat

... but Ilur & Beg Meil are on my short list for the next build.  How was your experience?  Do you have a build blog?

As per request:

Ilur in PA Building Thread - WoodenBoat Forum

I've pored over your Ilur build blog many times.  Thanks for the link.  Were you involved with PMDBuilders.net?  That was an amazing resource that is now no longer available.

   Hi all,

It has been a long time, but I finally was in a position to order some plans to get a project underway. In the end I decided to start out with an Eastport Pram. Plans have arrived, now it's time to have a good look through them and start tracking down materials.

Cheers,

Stephen

Don't sweat the time spent on deciding, Stephen!

I got bit by a desire to build a sailing canoe back in the '80's, took many years before I chose the newly introduced Waterlust kit in late '16, then another 2-5/6'ths years before I started assembly! I'm about 60% along (I think!) with maybe another 75% left to go before she's ready to pedal... or row, or sail!

Hey Stephen, 

You're going to love your EP.  I sailed mine on Lake Union and Greenlake in N Seattle for years before building a Passagemaker.

Here's a link to my EP build video and also my Instructable.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Enjoy your build!  Remember, when you're half-way done, there's only 90% to go!
