And Another Boat

This boat type is called a "Micromouse" and it is just over 6 feet long. I built it in about 2 weeks, working for a short time each day. It was fun and easy to build. Thanks to Gavin Atkin for developing this great series of boats and publishing free plans! This was my 3rd boat, and by far the quickest build.










It is called "Lotus" and this is the design on the foredeck.












All painted up and ready to go.











Is it a Mouseboat or a Catboat?













Listing a little but what great fun! Paddles wonderfully!










Darn! I forgot the skegs and it weaved a bit. Back to the boatshop!
