This beautiful boat build by Jean Preckel, She started building it in April and finished in September, 2019. The wood she used is paulownia which came from a friend who lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The boat is dark
green on the bottom, light green on the cap rail and the inside is varnished. there are 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of varnish. The name of the boat is Tinkerbell.
There were more than 30 people at the launching party at 9/14/2019.
The steps to build a boat are:
1) set up the frames, stem and transom (build it upside-down)
2) put the bottom on
3) attach the planking
4) turn it over
5) put on the gunwale, cap rail and seats
6) paint and varnish
She also made the model of this boat with four times smaller than this real boat, they both are beautiful and very valuable. Well done Jean!
