About this boat

This was my first mahogany boat build. Now I really want to do more of them. This is a Dumas kit and was a pretty tough build. ( Build log is on this site) I really enjoy working on the wooden boats.

    My, you have made a cracking good job of this Dave. The precision of the planking and caulking, the detail of the fittings, the upholstery, the finishing - I could go on. A beautiful boat and you have really done it justice.😉

    You've done a top job on it Dave, - now a family heirloom as well😁👍 Wood is definitely more satisfying to use, much more scope for finishing, (can't really varnish plastic😁)

    Beautiful !! But too much work for me. I wud prefer a ABS hull, preferably one-piece, rather than 2 pieces joined down the centreline
