First coat of wood stain applied. At least 5 more coats to follow over the next week. Each coat will have to be sanded down, with 400 grit paper,  prior to the application of the next coat.

Relax Guys. She is not as beautiful as you make her out to be. Lot of blemishes that need to be worked out. 3rd. coat of varnish is drying now - still a long way to go.

What happened to this?

Mothballed and waiting for me to be inspired once again.

Yes, they are similar and there is a long story behind that fact.

I wish I was that selfless Topalle. In any case, 95% of the work has been done and to crate it with protective packing and send it would cost more than all the components put together. Why don't you build one out scratch yourself? Tell me how I may help you and I will be there. If you need plans for the bulkheads, let me know.

What all equipment will i need to start making boats from plywood? Will a hacksaw be enough to start?

Hacksaw and the thinnest commercial ply. It is actually 2.5mm thick, but the carpenters call it 4mm ply.

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
