Frame is finished and now it has the lines I was looking for.  Now just to finish it and spend some time in the water with it.

Here it the obligatory FrOG (Frame On Grass) photo. You know if you build one you have to post the FrOG photo! 🙂  You can see this is lower profile boat. It’s not small by Greenland standards but it is a pretty low profile boat, but still should have plenty of room inside.

The last roll of polyester I received had a lot of creases and some dirt along the edges of the first few feet. Even though the creases will come out and dirt stains would be cut off I wouldn’t sell it to anyone so I cut off a long piece and saved if for this project.

Here I am sewing the bow end on the boat.

After about an hours work I have one end of the boat sewn. I have been working on my technique and I have no pull holes so far. I realized that I was sewing the skin on too tight and that is why I still get a few pull holes. This time I sewed it on a little looser and not a single pull hole! Keep that in mind when sewing yours. It’s going to make finishing easier and it will look better too.

The finished bow. I had to quit for the day at this point.  I expect to finish sewing and shrink the skin tomorrow. I like to think I will start painting but I amt setting the goal a little high I think.
