It's the little things...
...that never seem to stop coming.
Tonight I did a little beveling of bulkheads and knocked out a batch of inwale spacers. I just love the curved edges that many Goats have. Simon had an interesting technique using a plunge router. I went a different way with a bench router and round nose bit.

I ran both edge of the 8' board over the bit to produce something like an extrusion.

Then I chopped off slices from the extrusion to fit the width of the inwales.

Meanwhile, I'm aching to get out on the water! Here's a homebuilt Proa with homemade Lugs'l that I hope to sail with in the waters of the New York Harbor (not far from where AlZuger once hailed):
