That's a nifty looking workspace, love what you've done to the place. The oars are beautiful, as are all the small wooden boats I see here. Thank you for the eye candy.
 
Interesting Ants. The numbers are pretty close for such different looking boats. I would add that my RoG has 70 pounds of lead in the bottom of the centerboard.
 
The boomkin received some longer legs which will slide into sockets on the stern.

It is so much fun watching this project from the cleanliness of my desk! No fuss, no muss.

Yesterday I filled four small holes for the new latches of my lazarettes. While the epoxy dried I drilled two holes. Only two! And it took me forever to prepare everything, forever to put everything away. My fingers stuck to each other and everything else. I don't know how you stay sane.

Everything looks beautiful!! Those sculls are gorgeous! Is that Ferrari orange? I hope we'll get to come help launch your ROG into the streets of the Mission District soon?

I like to include photos, too, so here are some turtles from Georgiana Slough in the Delta. There were more, but a few of them jumped into the water. "Little turtles! Don't be afraid!" but they still jumped, so these are the brave ones.
