Go for it, Kirsten! Last year I did that to two hulls. I am sure you will
be pleased with the results. Do read closely the comments about flare, and
take advantage of that if you can.

boat! I got a lot of really great ideas and advice. Without you guys I
definately would have given up on this project long ago.

and the plans, I've concluded that I definately goofed. The hull is
appoximately 2 inches deeper than it should be and the shape isn't quite
right. I suspect that I went wrong somewhere with the willow. Perhaps I
should have let the ribs set on the form for a while before lashing them.
The measurements all checked out okay just before I lashed the ribs.

reset the ribs. It's a long winter up here, I'll have time to kill at some
point!
