The lumber gathered, the tools set out, and the plans copied several times over for distribution.

It's time to turn the mass slaughter of the trees from the forest into something fitting for the Royal Navy. ...Even if there's no Royal Navy here. Because that doesn't really matter.

Major points of the to-do list:
construct block and tackles, belaying pins, etc.
build the hull
caulking or just coat everything with epoxy and tell the Navy boys its caulked
divide the decks
build the masts
set the rigging
attach the sails
construct two quarterboats
