After lunch I packed up my reading and laptop and headed for Duluth's lakewalk. I set up camp there for three hours of quality work at a park bench overlooking the rocky shore. Lake Superior was dead calm and it was too warm to work in the sun. Remarkable for October in Duluth. I made good progress on a proposal for a 20 ft open boat I have called the Overture. It will be a prototype of the construction methods I hope to do our 30 to 50 ft boats with. It will be a little heavy at 20 ft compared to a similar Lund or Princecraft. However it will be stout enough for up to 115 hp. The image here is about 1/4 done. A couple of lines are visible to define a deck. Then seats and tanks. Finally hatches and hardware. LOA 20' (6.1m) with 92" (2.34m) beam, but subject to change.
