Stitch and Glue Petrel Prototype Build Started

S&G Petrel Prototypes

 

This build is not going to go too fast as I need to take photographs along the way so we can work up instruction manuals for each of the boats. So far this has involved taking an average of 100 photographs a day. I must say it is a lot faster to build a boat if you don't have to set up a camera and lights every few minutes.

I'm not sure when plans or kits will be available, but I am hoping to have the boats complete in time for summer paddling and evaluation. It takes a lot of time to create a decent set of instructions so it will plans and kits will come some time later. I am pretty sure that within the next decade plus or minus nine and half years we will get them released.
