Well here she is...the finished product just before launching. She rows like a dream with no effort... just glides along. The negative, for me, is that with the narrow bottom she tips too easily and I'll fall overboard for sure. If I were 30 years younger and more nimble she'd be great but that is, as most of you know, is not the case. Another project to the "kids camp".

Had planned an 18 1/2' sailing dory and even bought the plans but think I'll look around some more for a more useable rig for an old coot to use. Sail I think.
