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
