At the goolwa wooden boat festival, rough and ready race 2017, my new found boat friend, paul cleaver, won with his brilliant design and build. the side wheeler punt, punty mcpuntface swept around the buoy, elbowing out all comers (including loud americans), to take a victorious bow.. Building the dream: a cruising sailboat under construction. this blog details the construction of a 50 foot home built sailboat showing the reader the process, trials and lessons learned along this multi-year journey.. Indeed, building luna came to own me. i resented my previous self who thought building a gigantic sailboat in small-town texas was a good idea. time away from luna was exactly what i needed to build up the guts to finish her. looking forward to the next few months of boat work!.
We've been documenting how we build our 26' sport cruiser/island hopper sailboats. the blog's following the build of hull #3 that was purchsed about 1/2 way through. building blog link you will need to create an account to see the pix. for those of you that don't want to deal with sailing anarchy, the pix are also on facebook.. I could have titled this blog post 'i decide to go to the moon'. that's how difficult building a wooden boat seems to me. i keep reading that boat building is the most difficult form of wood working -- far more complicated than fine furniture building.. For all the people that have followed this blog for the cartopper build. i am building an airplane and will be making a new blog. so check back later for the new link..
