Hello All,

I'm fascinated by the Windsong. I live on a beautiful lake in SE Wisconsin, and this looks like a fantastic boat for my purposes. I have no boatbuilding skills but have a decent background in woodworking. I've built a couple beautiful remote control scale models of classic wooden boats.

Am I crazy thinking I could build one of these beautiful 15 footers?

I am willing to commit to going to boat building school for a week this summer in Maine, but I'm not sure that will be enough help for me.

They have a class specifically for wood-strip construction hulls, but it is full. They have another class that teaches wood strip construction with the bead and cove strip method. Would this be helpful or a waste of time?

I'm excited for this project but think I may be in over my head.

Where do I get supplies?

Hardware?

Where do I get the laser cut forms?

Any help or advice you could offer would greatly help me make the decision as to whether I should jump into this or not.

Thanks,

Steve G.
