Newbie to wooden boats

I have minamal wood wooking skills

stated my first build and picked a Petrel

stated building in aug of this year  the boat looks great and is almost done I have to sand the coaming and re-epoxy and sand the deck, do end pour and varnish.  holes are all drilled and filled hatches are all cut and recesses glassed.  instructions have a lot to be desirerd but there is so much avalible on line and in books

and best of all the strip boat is more personal because you control the patterens

I think you guys have got me talk into a strip boat .I like the looks of Guillemot plans ,I think thats the boat for me . I may live to regreet that statement . But here it goes , I will take as many pictures as possible.

Thanks again . I hope everything works out .
