Hello Uncle John, |
After a long spring,
we finally had the chance to test our new sail boat, and it works
great. I changed the design slightly by shortening it to 8 foot long
to fit easily in to my truck. With the change in length, I moved the
center seat proportionally, and made the bow seat longer to run the
mast through.
The sail was a used sail purchased over
the net in Florida. My daughter loves it. |
Dear Uncle John -
Here are some photographs of our boat, May. I gave my husband Barry your rowing skiff for Christmas and he had her ready for christening in May. She performs beyond our expectations, and we have spent many successful hours fishing in Louisiana salt waters with her. Now Barry is ready to build a pirogue for duck hunting.
Hope you enjoy the photos.

Hi Uncle
John, |
|
Here is a good
picture showing my son Will and a nice bass. It is a good shot
of the boat too, which we are really using a lot. I have added a
couple of things: a yardstick on the inside of the starboard gunnel
for measuring fish: the one in the picture was 19.5 inches, and a
holder for a light we used on our one night time outing. Next
will be a cleat to hold an anchor line.
