Jackie Lih, age 7, helped her father, Arthur, to build this 8′ Grace's Tender from a kit by Arch Davis. They made the hull from 4mm okoume plywood on white pine frames. According to her father, “Jackie loved this project and did a little bit of everything.” The pair worked all summer on the project, starting in June and launching in Massapequa, New York, at the end of September. Plans and kits are available at www.archdavisdesigns.com.
