Dom will be launching the boat he made up at makerspace this sunday by freyberg at 2pm, come have a nosey!

the first step in building the boat is drawing the design onto the plywood. it is critical that the design is drawn correctly, or else how will it be cut correctly?

I started I was just using a tape measure but soon discovered that 1) the (cheap) tape measure was lieing to me, and 2) I was occasionally misreading the marks, and 3) pencil marks are too wide to be really accurate.

I am building a boat.

it will be an outrigger canoe, which paddles well, but can also be sailed if your not into paddling

here is a photo of a similar boat I built a few years ago:
