RB14 Build - enlarging the UP's fleet

[jtdums]

I think you are doing great! There are going to be hiccups and problems along the way. That is what the "moaning" chair is used for after all.
Follow the advise above and keep at it...you are going to get there. What a great winter project with your son.
Good people here on the site, and so much expertise is shared willingly. The comment about asking questions is right on the money.
Also, keep the natives happy by continuing to document the build with pictures. Never too many!

For the record, I'm already thinking about the new island race tradition that is about to take root. Trophy might have to be an epoxy covered glove.

Good progress! Your struggles with the bow panels made me remember mine with the LB22. I like to never got 'em right. Had to kerf it all in the end but you'd never know now to look at it. You are dead right: patience and persistence wins.

Our boats may be great, but are we ever going to compete with one of Tassier's Chris-Crafts? I don't think so!
