Nice work Campbells! I can't wait to show you around the Lower Bay!
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Long time no post. Have made good progress on my glued lapstrake Tammie Norrie. Been a fun and challenging process. Ordered a sail kit for it but dont expect to actually sail it till summer '25 based on current schedule.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

How big is that, and who's design? Loving it already...

Thanks CapeMan!
It's an Iain Oughtred Tammie Norrie, 13'6", balanced lug/yawl.

That is a really interesting boat Jeff. Love the shape of the transom.

I thought it looked similar to Glossieback's pram. I like the lines he has developed, and lapstraking with thin ply is pretty cool.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Yes, his is an Oughtred Feather Pram, which he did an incredible job with! It takes a good deal of care and planning to bright-finish a glued lapstrake, very impressive. My sheetstrake, stem, transom and 'wales will be bright, along with some thwarts and seats. The hull will otherwise be painted inside and out, hidiing many a screw-hole and myriad other holidays.
The Tammie Norrie, to me, looks much like a Glue-lapstrake adaptation of the Whitehall Pulling boat, at least as it's presented in John Gardeners book "Building Classic Small Craft. The bow at station #1 on both (and probably many others) is "pinched" to avoid a bulbous entry, apparently. Seeing this pinch develop during the planking process was a little unsettling, causing me to check the shape and measurements of my 1st station many times. i THINK it's correct, but regardless, it's there/done!

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Thanks Dave. It's a true wineglass transom, esp once the skeg gets on there, hopefully soon.
