Tim Orr – Building ARRIBA in Savannah Georgia

[Tim Orr]

Hello fellow builders,  I have always wanted to build a small wooden boat so the Oonagh kit was a good fit for me.  I retired from the Coast Guard years ago and have always been close to the water.  I ordered the kit in October 2020 and started building it around the same time.  I have been steady on it since then and very close to being done.  Just completed painting today and have a lot of finishing touches that need to be done. Boat, Sail, Trailer all in hand.  Of course I have learned a lot and would build things different if I build another.   Tim in  Georgia.

Wow. Way to go Tim. Looks great.

Tim – what a great looking build! Nicely done. Maybe in a few more weeks mine will look almost as good. I like that you went the extra mile and created the inhale spacers. I am too.

Question – did you fasten the spacers to the hull first and then install the inwale or did you fasten the spacers onto the inwale and then fit it all together onto the hull?

 

Thanks, Doug H.
