The boat building virus has got me again, I'm going to build another boat. A dinghy (PK78) for the Stoere meid (TW28). After 7 years I couldn't resist the temptation anymore.
Sawed the side panels, the bottom panels and the rafters today. Next week I'll buy epoxy and glass ete. Oh it's great to be busy again. Soon the smell of fresh epoxy resin, the itching of my hands after sanding, runny nose and red eyes, wonderful.
The photos will follow shortly.

Re: PK78 Doppie
Stiched all the panels and frames. The boat gets her shape. Just an afternoon of work with this as result

I found this in a chop and could buy it for 50 Euro. That's cheap.
It had not run for several years. I cleaned the tank and carburator and it started! Wonderfull it suits my PK78.
It is a West bound Shrimp 3,5 hp. Build in the late fifties early sixties.

That is a great find! I bet it will work well on the skiff.
Re: PK78 Doppie
The rowing benches are almost ready. Then I can start filling and sanding.
I also sawed a few handles in the bow and transom.

looking good! I bet this feels like nothing after the tw28 build.
Re: PK78 Doppie
The TW28 took me 3 years, this one will take less than 3 weeks. But it is also satisfying, every build is an adventure.
