Boat looks great Bill. Any pictures of it in the water yet? Better yet, under full sail with a NorEaster hee hee. I have been going over my notes I took when every one was talking about building one using your offsets. I'm still looking around the area for some spruce for the frames. I got a couple of leads. I was also thinking of extending it to 14ft. I have a place to sail it and thought the aditional length would make it more comforable for a secound person. I aready have five boats and a pontoon boat but non of them I can sail. If I want a sail boat it should be duo purpose and the BBSB fits that bill. Then I can trim down the fleet. Most of the boats never hit the water until shortly before duck season with the exception of the pontoon boat. That the bad part of living next to the water. You just look at it, don't go out on it. Most of the people on the lake fishing and boating don't live there and when they do the same thing happens. So if you like fishing don't buy a place on the lake. Pete
