schooner Posted January 28 Share #234 Posted January 28 (edited) Wonderful build! Congratulations on reaching the finish line and thanks for taking the time on the log. I see more builders from North Carolina here on MSW than any place outside the UK, a little odd considering NC was never a hotbed of 18th or 19th century shipbuilding.
