Billings Progress

Seven years ago this boat was given to me making it my first boat. Turned out to be a good starter boat as the hull was almost finished. Having painted it the way the write up seamed to say. Then ready to run and into the water. The boat being top heavy it tipped and took on water. Back to the work bench and striped and left to sit until this year. The boat is almost finished needs rudder motor and ballast Rick

A project I'm looking at is the Dumas Lord Nelson Victory tug. The purchase price is rather high so I am looking for a plan if not of the Dumas boat something close to the look of the tug.

Good you are getting away Nerys. That is a lot of boat to move around. Building boats is great but the size and weight must come into the final decision on how big a boat to build. As we get younger transportation comes more into what we build.

We in Canada are reaching 80% single vaccines and 50% second doses. Nancy and I will be wearing masks going into shops and dinning. For me we may be nearing a safe return to some or a new form of the past. But until the rest of the world gets vaccinated or vaccines none of us are really safe. Please keep yourself safe and that keeps others safe.
