That is quite impressive... I would like to build one of those then row it on one of the big lakes here...
Reminds me the Winslow Homer painting.

Hey Jeff, I was at the Mystic Show on Sunday!! Janet & I were celebrating an anniversary in Boston and "amazingly", it was the same weekend as the Boat Show right down the coast in Mystic Conn. We spent most of the day there - very very cool boats and people. I reconnected with a couple of folks I met at the Port Townsend Boat Festival last Sept... Awesome. I've got a number of new ideas for "boats to build".
Obsession I, II, III, IV etc....

If Obsession I took 800 hours, how long would the above vessel take you? You better fly home today and get started right now!

Sure, but first we need to build my DB. When will you be here? Bring epoxy, fiberglass and varnish!
