Annapolis Wherry Tandem Build Complete
My son and I both lost our jobs due to COVID, so....he helped me build a boat tha my wife and I have talked about for four years. And he put together this video on the build. The total build took us 5 weeks. At least one thing a day that I'd do differently on a second build but we were on a timeline and had to keep it moving. In the end, though, a fantastic experience. We've rowed her about 10 times now and much, much, much prefer her to a rowing shell. More stable and more fun for two old rowers.

Sounds like a great idea! Looking forward to seeing pics of the finished project!
We almost named ours "Lemonade"😁
RE: Annapolis Wherry Tandem Build Complete
Looks like you had great fun during the build, we completed ours to a point we could launch yesterday, "Libelle".

first, sorry about the loss of job due to covid - the pain in the community due to the pandemic is terrible and my thoughts are with you.
second, congratulations on your build and the inspiring video. i am on the final step with my nephew, whose college was interupted due to covid, of building a boat with him...but the record of our work will never match the creativity and fun of what you just posted here.
that said, we did order 'brand-like' stickers (e.g., EPIC Kayaks, Wilderness Systems, etc) for the new craft. While the boat is a night heron, the sticker will say 'Pandemic 2020'.....so when somebody asks what it is, that's what we're going to say.
