Thanks for the compliment and the questions. I did round over the seat edges with a power sander, but if I were doing it again now, I would probably use 3/4 inch solid planks and round them as much as possible with a router. This is because even with a bit of rounding, the 3/8 inch ply edges are still rather sharp feeling after a while. Granted, maybe if I followed that aspect of the plans, I would not have the slight overhang that I do, and this probably contributes to feeling the edges more.<br /><br />I am still enjoying sailing, rowing, and motoring in my Jimmy Skiff. I had a great sail just last week on Great Bay near Portsmouth NH. It was one of those perfect sailing days when the wind, waves and tide were just cooperative enough, and just challenging enough to be the most fun and satisfying!Ron Parohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722822548814898804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968734236188329459.post-20350996229429676612015-08-08T14:44:55.638-05:002015-08-08T14:44:55.638-05:00Hello Ron: Great work.

If so did you use a router, block plane, or sand them? <br /><br />Thanks Mike<br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />My active build from plans is documented here:<br />http://buildingajimmyskiff.blogspot.com/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968734236188329459.post-21326512883062414822010-04-12T14:38:42.539-05:002010-04-12T14:38:42.539-05:00Thanks Andreas, Have you seen the responses to yo...Thanks Andreas, Have you seen the responses to your questions posted in the CLC forum? http://www.clcboats.com/forum/clcforum/thread/9466.html and http://www.clcboats.com/forum/clcforum/thread/3879.html <br /><br />I will send you an Email for additional discussion. - RonRon Parohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722822548814898804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968734236188329459.post-3110621687062516352010-04-12T14:08:14.617-05:002010-04-12T14:08:14.617-05:00Hello Ron, I´m from Mexico, and I´m studying your ...Hello Ron, I´m from Mexico, and I´m studying your blogs because I want to start building my own Jimmy Skiff, I like the model, but I like also the Skerry from CLC, so what do you think? should I start with the JS to get familiarized with the construction method?

Last July, I sailed this boat on the Maine coast, in WoodenBoat's Small Reach Regatta, along with about 50 other traditional small craft. I had a blast, and the Jimmy Skiff performed well.Ron Parohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722822548814898804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968734236188329459.post-28167120805126187982009-10-18T07:45:03.511-05:002009-10-18T07:45:03.511-05:00It's very cool.

One factor when I chose my kayak was if there were building sites I can refer to for support and PICTURES! Your site is a brilliant companion to the intructions!
