Built hull strictly to plans except put in side seats in the stern and floatation- self righting actually. Extra layer of fiberglass on the bottom and about 20 lbs of steel on the white oak keels to protect in Maine groundings. Very seaworthy, beautiful, and zero-put the tiller down and pour a cup of coffee helm. I am building a 105 sq ft standing lug to try as she sails a bit slow when the wind is under 8 kts and there are two aboard.J R Krevans Jrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-87424899136210255052010-03-20T22:30:34.027-07:002010-03-20T22:30:34.027-07:00Welcome aboard, Wes!

I was happy to find your site because I want to add a centerboard to my Egret and your pictures are very clear about how you did that. <br />I have several boat projects underway, so the Egret has been pushed back to a winter project. It is set up and ready to go, in fact I was looking at it yesterday and dreaming. <br />I want to add decks to her, also and hope to have enough room to do some overnight camping under a small foredeck, with a boom tent.<br />If you'd like, please contact me directly at: mbogoger(at)gmail.comdorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-85081493311191801612009-10-28T07:24:35.091-07:002009-10-28T07:24:35.091-07:00Micheal,
