Ready for the Splash!

On May 1, 2014, in Builder Blogs, Inboard Powered, by Tom Schmidt

I have built a live aboard trawler using the Glen-L Yukon design plans and patterns.

After just over 11 years of work, the Molly B is finally ready to be moved to the water and launched.

The moving date is around the 1st of June and the splash will be shortly after that since I have to put her back together again before I can launch.

See my complete record of her build at my website Journal of the Molly B.

Editor’s Note: See Tom’s photos of the construction of the Molly B in the Glen-L Photo Galleries.

I started this boat building project in Jan of 2003 and I'm still at it. I'm getting closer to the launch date but there is still much to do before then. It's been a great experience and I am really looking forward to the time on the water in our 43 Ft. trawler.

After spending so long making Molly B, and launching it in 2014, I am curious. I saw Molly B is for sale in Rochester, NY. Are you taking on a different project?
Best wishes,
