Looks great from here 8) Looking at this boat getting stitched together makes me wonder how in the world someone could do the Cat22 8O

Will and I had the same thought - cat 22! This one will be good practice for the 15 panel boat! :lol:

Looks good! And familiar - stitching the nose of my TX-18 was one of the tougher parts of the project.
