Quick update from the wooden boats of Chine bLog

Spring is springing here in metro-Washington,DC and the waters will soon be calling the fleet to them. I have been focused on the sailing rig for AL DEMANY CHIMAN,the skin-on-frame outrigger canoe. I gave a hint of this in a prior post. Since then,the sail arrived (yeah!) and it looks great. Its arrival forced me to get going on the spars,which I have done. I have ensured my mast is nice and straight and rounded it off [editor's note:is there a better entry in the "boatbuilding phrases that sound dirty but aren't?" category? Didn't think so. Moving on...] and the boom is glued up and ready for similar treatment. I have built a chock for the steer-oar as well,which I will be fitting soon,I hope. Good progress,all told. Pictures soon.

I spent some of Easter afternoon painting the Peace Canoe,PEACE OF THE PUZZLE. I’ll be putting her on the market in short order. If anyone wants a hand-built,18′canoe,please let me know.
