A
Lifetime Hobby of Building Boats
It was the spring of 1949, and a 11 year old boy just had to
find a way to build a boat, no, a sailboat. I was that kid and
can even at this time remember it as if it were today.
A
New Quick Construction System
Many quick boat construction systems exists. Almost all of them
are faster than traditional boat building. Compared with each

Sheet Creations

I
couldn't stop smiling
After years of building boats, I didn't think I could be so
impressed by sailing a single boat, but here I was and I just
couldn't stop smiling and saying this is way too much fun!
A
Tale of Ships
If you can imagine a table by the window of a harborside tavern,
somewhere around 1880, a town by the sea...the day is grey,
misty and cool with but a hint of a coming wind...
Pathfinder
Cabin - Part Three
The assembled cabin sits on the shop floor and is being used
as a form for making the hatch sliding rails and the hatch assembly.
Cheap
Sails for Fast Boats - Part Two
I thought that if I held out I could eventually get two small
fully battened mains from a fast dinghy class that would be
about right, but the prices were a bit beyond my pain threshold,
something like $150 each.
