A boat is something more than a collection of wood, glue and screws. You can pretend and tell yourself that it is just some inanimate object, but every once in a while, the truth will glimpse through. I fell in love with the Weekender looks when I first got into boat building.

I was smart enough to know there was no way in heck I would be able to build one start to finish - not with any quality, anyhow. So I bided my time. And sure enough, one came up on Craigslist at a reasonable price.

Trouble was, I still had the Aurors, my Newport 16. So I checked with my boat building buddies and asked if I could store the Weekender some place while I sold my Newport.
