Re: Auray Punt
Harry, sorry but I didn't get any of the photos you attached. Could you put them in the photo section? It is a nice design and I would appreciate seeing photos.

I assume you built it to plan with two runners on the bottom. It doesn't show a skeg but adding one will improve tracking. I would suggest starting about 16 inches forward of the transom and continue back parallel with the waterline. Not too big, you still want it to turn occasionally. I think that would work. Let us know.

a 'generic' balanced lug, and I am guessing that Seth copied or
borrowed the rig from some other similar sized boat. I also recall
that he sure looked to be sailing smartly that breezy sunny Sunday on
the Annisquam River waiting for the tide offshore from the PB&F house.

Really nice pic. Should be on a poster about "Why sailing is cool". But, that hull must be a real slapper in a chop? Thanks for the pictures.
