Wendell,
Beautiful job! I'm sure your grandfather is quite proud of the cabinet-making skills you have displayed in the many thoughtful innovations on your Duck. Good job!

Thanks, Rudder.

I'm not planning on a mast, but I suppose I could hang a bed sheet off of my smoke stack!

She sure looks good. I like the red hull. What is the material used for the hull and the pilot house? Keep plugging along: why, in two years' time you'll be sailing the main.

Ah, my mistake. It does look funky with the blue!

They were made from blue tarps held in place by 3M's sealer tape kit. (a black tacky goo that never sets up) They held up against rain, wind and snow for a full year.

Fantastic website and DD-38. I love all those brilliant innovations.

How long do you think it will take you from start to finish before you launch?

How soon do you expect to launch?

Thanks, Mel.

I got my first computer, at George Buehler's recommendation, just a couple of years ago. I'm hooked!

I've been working on Helge, part time, for more then six years now. When ever asked, I say "two more years". It has become the running joke among my friends... so I'll say to you, two more years to the launch. :^)
