I know we often recommend the Cheap Canoe as a first build, but I'm working on the N7 - nutshell dinghy tender. It is very easy and the greaterest part is when you stitch the bow, stitch/screw the center frame and then form the panels around to the transom - BINGO - a boat appears - instant feedback of the positive sort.
The only drawback as for a learning boat - no butt joints - but you do get a very traditional looking craft

It looks great! I too wish I had done something smaller than the FL 14 as a first project. The N7 would have been perfect, theres nothing wrong with the FL14, its just BIG, and my ideas of truck-topping it are slowly fading away!!!!!.... the N7 would have fit perfect in the back of a full size truck!!....
Good Job!
