Launching: Guillemot 17 ready for launch on Lake Houston *LINK* *Pic*

Finally, after almost 2 years of interrupted construction, my Guillemot 17 is ready to hit the water. The hull is constructed of western red cedar and the deck is redwood, white pine, and purpleheart.

Thanks to Nick's book and all the posts on this bulletin board, no major problems in the construction process - just lots of delays because of my schedule.

I am including a link to a pictorial record of the process.
