THE BOAT: Scow Bow Mini-Cruiser. 14’ long (4.25M,) with a 6’ beam (1.8M,) and a draft of 2’6” (0.77M.) She features a self-righting design, steel twin keels, and a Ljungström rig. Built using the foam sandwich construction method. Every design decision is made to keep her simple, strong, and watertight.

In this episode I begin working on the wind vane self steering mechanism and the anchor light tower. These 2 items need shaft housings to hold them onto the buoyancy arch. I also paint the buoyancy arch and the cabin of the boat. I show modifications made to the trailer to carry the boat now that the keels are attached.
