Always wanted to try sailing soooo, I built a little sailboat. You would not believe how much fun this thing is in the summer time!

Looks like it will be a great time. You built a great looking boat. If the pics are from the phone, they came out great. What did you name it??

You did good, looks like maybe a little 'fishing' on the side.
What part do you hail from? I used to live in the Western part of the state, (Ouachita's).

Thanks for the replies, guys. Ron, the phone is a Nokia N-75. Much more phone than I need but seemed like a good idea at the time.(2 yrs. ago) Takes fantastic pictures and videos. The boat is 14 ft. by 4 ft. with a 75 sq. ft. lug sail. Never did get around to naming it.

Fossis, if you look carefully in the shed in the picture, you can see the bottom of the next boat already being glued together. It has been finished for several months now. A 16ft by 5ft jon boat. Much wider and sturdier than the 1964 aluminum boat with the outboard in the pic. Also more stable in the water so the wife isn't as paranoid about flipping when we go fishing. Hurricane Katrina blew me to central Arkansas, just north of Pine Bluff. Really laid back area with good hunting, fishing, and hopefully, treasure hunting!
