Kit is great to watch, so many tricks, she is great. in the last video she talked about the top gunnel guard, making the board wide enough because it’s going to hold the bumper guard, can you tell use where you can find the canvas covered guard, Jamestown no longer carry it would they have it at McMaster Carr, thanks can’t wait to flip my boat.
Nate Rooks says:
Hi Jeffrey, they have bumper guards at Fisheries Supply (fisheriessupply.com), a few different kinds.

Hamilton Marine. $11.99 per foot but 20% off between now and April 18. https://hamiltonmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Boats-and-Harbors-Page-1-March-2021-3.png

Thanks Dave, you beat us to it. Hamilton Marine is a good source for this, and just note the diameter called for in the plans. If I recall correctly, Doug spec’d a quite large diameter so the boat can be used as a tender and have (over)protection from hefty collisions with the mother ship (under the theme of this design being a real alternative to an inflatable RIB). That being said, I know H&B had a hard timing finding that large of a diameter and they went with the largest they could find. We all use this gunnel guard from Hamilton on our Shellbacks/Nutshells/dinghies so it is effective in the smaller diameters as well, albeit this boat is bigger and heavier than a Shellback so more cushion may be helpful on grandkids’ motor-assisted collisions.

What a feeling it must be to pull the mold out and flip the new hull over! I love this series so much. Just great to watch someone who’s so competent and skilled, that can also talk about what she’s doing in a calm and informative way. In a way (and this is totally a complement), Kit is kind of the “Bob Ross” of boatbuilding… ;-)
