Building a Northeaster Dory

Many years ago, I had a chance to take some sailing lessons and was able to use the boats from the university's outing club. Since then, I've always wanted my own boat. After looking at the possibilities, I decided that building a Northeaster Dory from a kit was my best chance. Not only could I sail it, but I could row it with either a fixed seat or sliding seat. Building it is only the first challenge; then I'll need to learn sculling and re-learn sailing.

Third Coat of Paint

June 5, 2011
I wet sanded the dory again with 400 grit paper and put on the third coat of paint. Fortunately, the weather cooperated by staying around 70 degrees and calm. I like the glossy hard finish that the Interlux Brightsides Polyurethane paint leaves. It's not as perfect as the prize winning boats, but I'm happy with it. Not much else to say; I"m glad to have this part done.
