Got started
Weeks ago I found a compass on the dining table of a good friend. It seemed to belong to a boat but looked pretty lonesome without. I thought why not building a boat around it. That’s why I started to look for a suitable kit that meets my building abilities and could suit the compass. First of all I found the clc Skerry but finally decided to go for the Northeaster Dory.
So far I spent about 20 hours for preparation, ordering the kit or necessary material and tools. Sure, I had to get rid of some stuff to have enough space for the project. Finally I built a cart to be used instead of saw horses.
Yesterday evening I sanded a few parts and joints, glued the first frames and mixed the first batch of thickened epoxy. When the batch was empty I ran out of clamps. All good for the warmup! It took me about 2 hours.
