@Dave, don't hatch your chickens before they're counted. A friend and I have been talking about building Goat Island skiffs together for two years now. That project will have to wait until I return to Wisconsin this summer, and finish the kayak that's waiting in my basement
@Mik, Texas and Connecticut are rather far away. Will you be in the Pacific Northwest or the Midwest at all? Do I have to organize a family quick canoe event to bring you to our neck of the woods-- SW Wisconsin, close to the mighty Mississippi river?
And thanks for the number, right around 36" draft.

I was nervous talking to Jim Michalak during the Texas 200 about our GIS. Now the GIS designer is going to come this Texas 200 event. I guess I really do I have to revarnish the interior now.
What a great meeting to look forward to.
If you are sailing the whole event I have plenty of extra camping gear.

I have very fond memories of Mystic, Conn. We had a C&C 35 we'd cruise up to Newport from the Chesapeake, and would stop in at Mystic Seaport. I loved the wooden boat shops where they showed how traditional tools were used, the older wooden boats being perfectly maintained, and the tasty, though overpriced lobster. Wish I could be there!

Yeah, no prob, see you there in six months - with empty pockets from bribing the lock masters to let a small boat through. )
and while cruising by, I would love to sail the Texas 200. (In a long sleeved shirt, wide brimmed hat, and a can of sunscreen next to my can of beer. )

US Goat-makers (especially Clint): What are you using for rudder hardware? I'm having trouble finding stuff which will work. I sent email to both of the email addresses listed on the Duckworks web page and got nothing back. (Are they still in business?) Clint - what are you putting in the kits? TIA.

REALLY late to be asking this question, but better now than after the boat is in the water.....
Was I supposed to tape the edges of the transom? I didn't get that impression from the instructions. But as I look at pictures on flickr, it seems like everyone else did. All I taped were the chines and the stem.
The hull feels solid. But I'm now having a vision of the future which includes a "sproing-oing-oing-oing-oing-oing-oing" sound as the sides part ways with the transom.
If I should have taped the transom edges, please tell me now before I start varnishing. Thanks!

Paulie,
If it's at all feasible at this point in the build, I'd take the transom seams. Feasible or horrendous... I'd tape them if you plan on hanging an outboard.

Hmm, I did not see MIK call for taping the transom so I did not. Hopefully he can chime in to clarify but I'm inclined to leave the tape off as the transom is pretty well supported with the seat and hull sides so I don't think it's going anywhere.

The plans call for the bottom chine of the transom to be taped like the rest of the chines, otherwise, no tape on the sides unless you want to.
