Do you have a collection of your boats over the years? It would be interesting to see the evolution...

I've got pictures...

First year, 2011: https://www.flutterby.net/Image:2011-04-30BoatBuilding052.JPG
2012 we doubled the length: https://www.flutterby.net/Imag...-04-28BoatBuildingBuildPix21.JPG
2015 shows some variety in thwart position: https://www.flutterby.net/2014-04-26_Wooden_Boat_Challenge
We added that top thwart to the center side bracing. Our first loss was 2015, when we let the kids paddle: https://www.flutterby.net/Image:2015-04-11PracticeLaunch.jpg

This year is the first real evolution since 2012...
