NYMPH
7'x 3'6"
"Nymph was my introduction to boatbuilding by the Tack-and-Tape method, and she boggled my mind when I first saw her sitting completed on my shop floor&emdash;shapely lines and a rounded hull that looked as though her building would have called for bevels in all directions. Yet she drew on the minimum of tools, time, and skill I had ever expended to put a finished hull there. When I put her in the water and rowed her through a lively chop, she gave me a Cadillac-smooth ride to boot. She boggled my mind again when an eager would-be owner bought her out from under me before I had even stepped a mast and bent on a sail. She still boggles my mind." Harold H. Payson.
