History

First Steam project, Purchased drawings online; built engine with success then found a boiler and rebuilt it. Then stumbled across an old plywood hull, stripped it down put on the decking and redid the interior. Launched July 1st 2012. Used as often as possible at the cottage sailing around the lake.
