Good luck
Last winter I built a D5 dinghy for outboard. I've been thinking about a winter project and the Orca 17 caught my eye. I think you are the first builder to post their progress. Keep the updates coming. This will definitely help make my decision to build easier. Your work looks grate so far.

So sorry... boat is done
:oops: My daughter and I finished the boat in May. I've had it out many times and love it. I think I've caught some kind of boat building bug. I'm ready to start another project. My wife says I've got to build her a deck out back first. I'll get the rest of my build photos up on the builders gallery...

Woodflour is here!!!
My woodflour and fiberglass tape arrived yesterday! I've loosely "tacked" the bottom of the boat to the frames and transoms with drywall screws. This did confirm that the bottom on my D5 is not a perfect fit. My measuring or the plans? I don't know. I don't really care, I'm having a good t...

Trim to fit???!!!
:help: Okay, first problem... I guess I'm lucky, I can't finish the seams anyway. Every part was "measured twice and cut once", so I'm very confident my cut pieces are true to the plans. BUT... The bottom seems to be too big!? About 1 inch on length and 1 inch on width. Do I just "mas...

We tried to fish this morning, toooo windy... Almost flipped the canoe... That's what I needed. Just a little more motivation to finish the Bass Tub.

Here's what's happened so far...
7 Feb 2003 I ordered the plans for a D5 pram online from bateau.com $35 + $5 shipping. 11 Feb 2004 My plans arrived today. I’m hoping I can start buying my wood within the next day or so. 14 Feb 2004 I bought some polyurethane adhesive, clamps, chip brushes, latex gloves. I already had some 1/4"...

D5 - Bass Tub
Actually, I haven't started the build yet. I ordered the plans on the the 7th and received them on the 11th of Feb 04. I've been reading and rereading them. This is my first attempt at building a boat of any kind. I'm looking forward to the experience. I plan to build the D5 and power it with a 2.5 ...
