The Whiskey Plank!

Not being much of a whiskey drinker, I celebrated the hanging of the whiskey planks today with a beer. Now I got a lot of filling and sanding to do. Oh boy, not my favorite part.

More planking.....

Well I have only to do the whiskey planks and the planking will be done. Then on to sanding and fairing and getting the keel and outer stem done. then more sanding and priming before I can flip it over and work on the interior.

My wife and I took a little break and went up to Washington state for the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival last week. We had a blast looking at all the boats and talking to some of their owners. My wife also had some old school friends from long ago that live in PT so we hung out with them and got nice tour of the town and surrounding area. It really seems like a nice place to own a sailboat and I hope to take mine back for a visit after it is finished.
Well needless to say, after coming home from the festival I am enthusiastically back to work on my boat. I got a couple more planks on today and have just four left to finish up the hull. Here are a couple of the latest views
