If you watched my video about going sailing last week, you know I’ve been thinking about designing and building a new sailboat for myself.
As a retired naval architect and marine engineer, have the knowledge and experience to put a design together that shall meet my needs within the budget I can afford. As with most things, this will of course require compromise in many areas.
This video is a discussion of the design parameters I have set for my new boat, and the reasoning behind them. This vessel can be built with very little money, because I still have quite a bit of inventory from my ole wooden boat shop on Cape Cod still in storage. Therefore, much of the design will reflect items I already have.
I hope to have a few basic drawings available by next week, and a complete set of construction drawings for the finished design will be made available to my supporters free of charge via pdf download when they have been completed.
Many thanks to all my subscribers for participating, commenting, liking, and sharing my videos. I very much appreciate your continued support of my YouTube channel. It’s a lot of fun for me, and I hope this trend continues.
Here’s the video:
