Daryl Colinot , aka "Admiral Dinghy", is a regular at the Lake Charles Yacht Club. This is a 9' boat he has been working on, in which he plans to cruise around the world in.

Guessing from the painted and non-painted surfaces, I think he made the white part of the hull first and then added the brown (bare fiberglass and epoxy) part later to expand his interior space. Later I poked my head inside while he was in there, and it has a TON of interior space.

He needed help getting his rudder installed so we helped pull the boat over.

She doesn't seem to have any ballast or a keel, I asked him how it would be able to right itself when knocked over in the ocean. Admiral said that he was going to add a mast head float, and that the cabin top would provide more bouyancy to pop her upright.
