The beginning-the boat building project

     We have always had a fascination with boats and boat construction, and have built several boats over the years.  Since we like the lines of the Maine lobster boats, we saw the pictures of the Outer Banks 20 and decided on this design.  This boat is designed by Graham S. Byrnes, of B & B Yacht Designs.  The complexity of this boat will be the culmination of all our boat building adventures.
     This project started with studying and more studying of the plans, and ordering of building materials.  We are using exotic marine plywood such as Okumi and Meranti.  This will help to keep the boat light, but strong.  Now we wait for the delivery of these materials!
