Courtney & Tara are building a Willow Bay "Shilling" - a 17 foot (length-on-deck) wooden day-sailer. This blog will document construction details and progress, from ordering study plans to launch day and beyond.

Actually, pix THIS weekend.
I decided to hold off taking pictures until the bilge keels and skeg are in place, which is the last assembly job before we paint. In the meantime, we've chosen a colour scheme: Blu-glo White with dark blue bulwarks. Here's a rough look with the chosen colours: Yep, she's gonna be pretty!
Courtney is a senior administrator for a non-profit agency serving adults with intellectual disabilities.
Tara is renovating her cottage.
Aside from boats, they like making and listening to music, cooking and eating good food, travel (especially to gigs!), and reading.
Some of you might have heard what we plan to name this boat, but we've decided not to make that information public until she has a proper dedication and launching ceremony. In the meantime, we welcome name suggestions. You might not change our minds, but it should be entertaining, so feel free to leave a comment with your suggestion!
