| Ruth's lovely card - drawn by her -- is enclosed with the Full Scale Plans
Ruth Ann Hill is the partner of John Brooks and with him the co author of the excellent "How to Build Glued-Lapstrake Wooden Boats". In their book, they say "a boatbuilding book isn't really living a full existence until she has sawdust in the binding, epoxy putty on the cover, coffee stains on the pages...."
Well, I've got as far as the coffee stains on the Ruth's postcard!
And also: finished the building Jig today, and working on the cleats for the web frames and the moulds. Getting on with it....

| My uneven keel. The leftover from a local racing boat, Talking Head now belongs to me, for the price of lead scrap. The Boatyard will melt it into a keel for my little Somes Sound |

| Basil has been a constant source of technical advice Note the legs: not good. Means he has hip displasia... |
