Dear Chuck:

Here are some photos sent to me by Richard in Connecticut of his 8ft Nuthatch Pram. Richard started first with a set of study plans last September and then upgraded to a full set in January of this year. So far he's the first out of the starting blocks to get one completed and it looks like he did a very good job at it too.

I like the way he's figured out how to get his boat up on to the racks of his car. A very DuckWorks mind at work here. I wonder how I can adapt his idea to my VW van? Getting too old to lift even the 65lb PUD-g, 6 1/2 feet in the air to get it up there by myself.

Hope this shows everyone that my designs are not that hard to make, and actually look like the down loadable PDF models when completed. Many happy days out rowing and sailing your 8ft Nuthatch, Richard.

I will now have to dig my own Nuthatch out from under the FlyCaster and go sailing myself if I can find the time. Just too many boats and too little time and wind around the Red Barn lately. I now have an even dozen models of various lengths and styles completed, and all need that first prototype hull to be built before I can make the plans ready for sale. Good thing I'm retired. :)
