Planking and framing!

Planking of the Gartside and the Catspaw are complete, and it appears that the two teams in the backroom are racing each other.

Faming is complete and planking has started on the launch, and the Kevlar sheathing is going on the plywood bottom of the Mower dory. Mid-month will see the two small boats right-side-up to receive their bent oak frames.

This is major progress for the fall session, and the students and staff are to be congratulated on having accomplished a great deal before the Christmas break. (Tad Roberts)
