I actually signed up last week as I am in the midst of trying to complete an AL #20500 Bluenose II kit my father started many years ago but abandoned with only a few planks in place.
I immediately dove into the site to start learning as I have no real experience in the hobby and this may be the only kit I build. I have already learned that despite my novice status, your members prior shared knowledge has already answered many questions and allayed many of my fears. I have even had some very helpful assistance from man and as a result I won't be trying to taper the masts and booms using a plane, the method suggested in the AL instructions.
Great forum, Les Frost
