I wanted a rowing boat in the style that I remember from my childhood in England and eventually decided to build one myself. After a lot of reading and web searching I chose an Iain Oughtred design, the Acorn 15. For a description of the Acorn 15 click here.

Day 16 - Keel, Skeg and Second Plank

Spent a sticky few hours today gluing the keel, skeg and second plank on both sides. The building notes leave fitting the keel and skeg until all the planks are in place but I decided to do it now to avoid having to reach over half the boat to do it. So, the keel and skeg are glued and screwed in place. Both second planks are also glued and clamped in place. The photos below show the result of the days work.
