Learning to build a boat V12 build

[Corvidae]

I lucked out with my location on the wood. Fort Lauderdale has a lot of boat building and repair in the area, so there's a few local suppliers down here that have been mostly beaten into submission by the typical yacht owners we have in the area.

And thanks Jacques, the sail made this a bit easier for a first time builder. It's straight off a Snark except we used 2" emt to get a taller mast. It's slightly larger than the sprit rig in the plans, the daggerboard is the plan size though. Which makes it a bit larger than the one the Snark used. The first impression is that it's about the same speed as a Snark, but it turns and points better. We didn't weigh it, however it's just barely too heavy to lift for one person. Two people can handle it easily. Which is all just a bonus on top of holding more people, while staying dry.
