This was my first boat project and it took me 4 months to finish it. I used two types of wood: Abachi and iroko. I’ve cut 6mm thick strips and no cove & bead, every strip was beveled manually to match each other.
See WoodenBoat magazine No. 7 (1975) for “ACTIVE to England,” by John E. Marsland (original owner).
After 7 years combining job in corporation with work in shipyard I launched MarUla, a trailerable classic cruiser.
