Hi Mike. Great to see your Senaca out on the bay. I'm in the process of making the smaller version of Jeff Spira's Pacific power dory, the Cheyenne. Unfortunately, after when I went to Jeff's website I discovered it was down and checking comments on his videos I sadly saw Jeff had passed away last Spring. All I have to work with are the study plans I downloaded a while back and the videos of others builders like yourself, which I appreciate immensely. For anyone else who was planning to build a boat there is an excellent boat building series for a 17 skiff at the TH-cam channel: World Boat Skiff. It's 31 episodes on building and he has made up plans as well. So, long story short I'm combining the layout and ideas from Jeff with the WBS model. So far I've got the hull components cut and joined so still early days. Anyway, thanks again.

Thanks for letting us all know about the series. I appreciate it. Congrats on the build. I'm sure you'll have a great boat when all is done.
