Turned her over
Rolled the hull. Genuinely nerve-wracking and genuinely worth photographing.

Glen-L Zip — garage runabout
by Example Logs
· boatbuildlog.com
An example log of a plywood-on-frame runabout, part-built. Shows what an in-progress log looks like when it is kept honestly.
This is an example log, not a real project.
It exists to show what a useful build log looks like — dated entries, tagged to a step,
with hours recorded and mistakes written down. The technique in it is illustrative;
don’t follow it as instruction, and check anything structural against your
designer’s drawings. Its hours are excluded from the site’s median figures.
