This is the one from her book.
As I was putting it on the backboard, something slipped. As I went to glue the last piece in place, I had a 1/8-inch gap. I knew the piece was cut correctly. When I put it on the pattern, it was absolutely correct. So, somehow, in the final assembly. something got moved. Since all the other pieces were glued, I couldn't wiggle things around to get the correct fit. I had to cut a new piece and shape it.
But, it all came out OK.
Sails are poplar with Spectraply. The boat is yellow pine, holly and western cedar. The water is Blue Pine. The backboard is 1/8 " BB ply laminated to 1/8" masonite to keep it from warping.
