: Had this one finished and before I took it to the water I realized
: it was not right. Gunwales did not have a sweet sheer line.
: Frame started to hog once it was off the strongback. No since
: paddling it since I was going to change it.

: Had a good idea what I did wrong so I stripped off the rigging.
: Took a knife to the skin and put it back in the strong back only
: to discover my strong back and twisted. New strong back.
: remounted and removed and recut a few frames to make it right.
: Now it has the proper 'LPB' shape I wanted. Sweet sheer that
: will not try to deform the boat. Should start painting (again)
: tomorrow and launch but the end of the week. Have little
: different paint combo in mind for this one.

- not something that can be done to a ply or trip boat! Looking forward to seeing her finished . . . in the meantime Happy New Year!
