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.

Second coat of epoxy on inside of dory

March 13, 2011
I sanded the inside of the dory once again, and then put the second coat of epoxy on everything. I also glued the four pieces of the daggerboard together. I was careful to use the same size clamps and to keep the daggerboard flat to make sure I didn't glue a twist into it.
