Default My Daughter Finished her Boat!
Refreshing your memory: my ten year old girl asked, for her birthday, "to build a kid-sized rowboat with Daddy." Too good a project to pass up. On the side, I carved her her own set of oars. The pictures show her receiving the oars, then launching the "Phoenix" for its maiden voyage. The plans came from Hannu's Boatyard website. It's a great site. Anyone messing with building their own stuff ought to get familiar with the "Hull" program, as well. Here' the plan we used:

Here's the link to see the launching:

drbabe, That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long while! She's a lucky girl and you are a lucky dad!

Looks like you'll have another one to supervise on a build in a few years.

Very nice little boat.

That's great! Now you've got to drop a little 4-5 hp on the transom.
