Thanks friends.

In Cheboksary I was. It's nearby.
I live in Nizhny Novgorod, it is at the confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers.
It is also very beautiful here.

I will post pictures
Little by little.

Love your project. Few years ago I camped with my mobile home at the end of the skiing ramp and close to the rowing basin.

Greetings and welcome. Your boats have interesting lines. Thanks for posting - looking forward to more photos as they come along.

Stay warm!

Thanks friends.
Very interesting to read your forum. And useful. )

the first hull is ready

other hull

)))

Very nice boats.

Post Photos !! As often as you can. We want to enjoy (and learn from) your accomplishments.

Welcome aboard! I have seen some massive projects started both here on T.F. and in person across our country. Unfortunately, many are never completed.

Just a suggestion.. Why not take one hull/boat totally through to completion so you can learn from the build and not repeat the same mistake twice. I know the urge must be strong to finish your boat first but I might suggest to finish your friends boat first. The second build will definitely be the better boat.

Good Luck.

Welcome to you, best of luck on your project!

Welcome aboard indeed. Very impressive.

You don't happen to have a long lost brother in Western Australia called Hendo by any chance?

First glance, unless you are going into commercial fishing, extend the house until you only 1/2 the cockpit. It will make the boat more enjoyable for extended cruising.

I wanted to brown. And a white superstructure
but I'll think about it ...

We dont want to learn your hand or clothing wrapped around the coupling or shaft.

How about an update with pics.
