Reunited!
The hull is almost completed. Most of the original fronds from the first attempt of designing the boat have been used in this current build. The Auset Fronds is quite solid. She came along way from her early stages of experimentation. I can truly say that this prototype can be duplicated as well as improved over time. The goal is to follow some of the basic Ancient Egyptian boat building techniques as far as the curved bow and stern. Everything else in the design is from brainstorming the last 3 years for what works and what works even better. Her lines are not exactly straight from bow to stern, but the most important thing is that she floats. I'd like to do a float test before it starts getting really cold. Once that test passes, then I can focus on completing her esthetic side of the build.
