Working and dreaming

The builders' tape worked okay, but still comes off fairly easily. At least it didn't relax off overnight. The boat is now upright and I'm glass-taping the inside seams. Dreaming of sailing, and what rig and amas to use.

Above is the rig for the larger Paulsboat, copied onto the Rio Grande hull (the one I'm building). The Paulsboat is 15' x 36" compared with the Rio Grande's 13' x 28½", meaning that this boat is two feet shorter and 7" narrower. I'm expecting to sail only when the amas (outriggers) are on, thus figure it can carry the sail of the larger boat. The Paulsboat also has a small mizzen.
