Well as you all know (or should by now) I am in the process of building my own sailboat. Next month I get to start buying lumber. I all ready have all the ribs laid out. So I am ready to start cutting. Any one want to come over and help?

Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry.

That sounds like a hoot... a good ol' boat raising (in the tradition of a barn raising)... :blink:

Unfortunately while Wisconsin puts you closer to me than most, it is stilll a bit far for me to go for something like that..

Best of luck to you with that! What style of sailing boat are you building? Is there a link to the plan you are using, or a photo of the boat your plan is based off?

I saw this one... "A small sloop" and fell in love and have become almost semi-obsessed with giving it a go myself....
