After about 3 months of preparation, I finally managed to dry fit my boat together today. Hooray, it is no longer a stack of ply in the corner.
I still have some trimming of pieces to make them all fit properly, but it is all go from here.
It is stitch and glue construction, I have used copper wire to stitch it together because that was all that was on hand. I rejected the cable tie method because of the size of the holes required. Then epoxy and glass.
This boat will be entered in the Australian Wooden Boat Festival next year, it will have my WC series 102 on the back.
I finally finished the boat just in time for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, 8th - 11th Feb 2013
Here is a pic of "Puffin" at the event with the 40+ in place
DId you 'free hand' that design or were you working from a drawing/dedsign. I am currently looking for a cartopable little 12-14 foot skiff to build leaning toward a Bolger Cartopper

Bateau.com has an active forum with assistance available always, just like here.
It is a very flexible design, easily modified to suit the individual builder.
