Pygmy Wineglass Wherry - Hull #1

I built this Wineglass Wherry for a customer in Port Townsend. The kit sat in the basement for years until I started building it in May of 2006. A nameplate, bulkheads with hatches, and a brass cleat on the bow are the custom options I added to this beautiful boat.

Length:  14 feet
