A Word on Safety
You’re brought into this world with two eyes, two ears, ten fingers and ten toes, make sure you keep them. Use safety glasses, hearing protection and latex gloves. Most importantly, use common sense. If you don’t know how to do something, ask someone who does.

This boat is designed to be easy to build but, nails can fly through the air when you try to hammer them, hammering is noisy and polyurethane adhesive is not totally benign. Epoxy can sensitize your skin. So be smart. Also be neat! Clean up squeezed out adhesive before it dries! Life (and painting) will be easier.
