This blog is to document the process of building a small, inexpensive high performance sail boat with my (ten) eleven year old son. I want to give him the opportunity to fall in love with sailing and have the chance to be part of a project designed to help make sailing accessible to more people.

Frustration
I wish I had more time to work on the Microskiff project. Real work is really busy right now, and I just don't have enough hours in the day. I'm trying to fit an hour or so a day boat building in somewhere. Perhaps I'll get time this weekend. I know exactly what needs to be done - nothing is difficult but the epoxy cure time delays are killing me.
There sure is a big benefit of Eric's low tech assembly method - I could have things done three or four times as fast. You just have to be patient with epoxy - rushing is the quick road to disaster. I've got to get more 205 fast hardener! I had a little can here that I bought last year that didn't last long.
I'll stop whining now.
