  Thanks Doug, That particular colour is quite popular with the traditional small boats here in Australia .

    I like the idea of installing lazy jacks. I will have to consider adding them later. Boat looks great. I will also be adding floor boards, in part so they can do double duty as a sleeping platform.

  Beautiful job John,’
  I just received the plans, haven’t decided whether to build from kit or attempt a plan build. How did Happy Jack go together?

    I built from the plans Only disadvantage i had was measurements on plan are of course imperial. I have used metric all my working life and couldnt find a scale rule to suit.
    
    THe plans are excellent and I found the videos for the kitset most helpful. Less expensive but considerably more time.
