The TEXAS 200 sailing event is on again. A 200 mile sail and camping trip up the Texas coast that runs every year. I am going to be in town, so would be crazy not to attend. This is a call for all interested storerboats to consider attending.

New plywood “Quick Canoe” plan builds in as little as 4.5 hours (or a couple of weekends)

The plywood “disposable” canoe (see here) has been renamed the more salubrious “Quick Canoe”. I quite liked the name of “Disposable Canoe” but I agreed with the critique that it hinted at something that was poor quality rather than simple and Easy.

A bit of wind and a lot of current because of all the rain. Tom has trimmed down the skeg to get the boat to balance nicely in all directions. Before the modification the bow used to blow around – now it behaves nicely. I took quite a few pictures.
