Mission Statement: To build a capable, affordable cruising boat with readily-available skills, materials, equipment and facilities.
If, like me, you dream of getting out there and sailing/cruising the world's waters, this blog/site aims to show my approach to how to do just that. Capable cruising boats should not be limited to the reach of the rich and privileged. If you accept the premise that a 25 year working lifespan for your boat is plenty for you to achieve your dreams (seems reasonable!) and are not concerned about such capitalist constructs as resale value, then the capable cruising boat is within the reach of a meagre budget. Go for it!

Station 6 update

The station 6 bulkhead is progressing well. The ply panels are cut and fixed to the floor beam. The side battens and deck beam are in place and I've started making the post that goes up the galley side of the bulkhead. I'm using recycled mahogany for that and it's looking good so far :-)

Like many people, I have 2 weeks holiday coming up over the festive season and the weather forecast is looking good in terms of expected temperatures. Hopefully, I'll be able to get station 6 finished soon and then get on to the station 7 frame and station 8 frame/bulkhead. I'll keep you informed!

Photos soon.

    Hi, I'm Tony.  This blog is about my attempts to build a 32ft Benford sailing dory in my back garden. If all goes well, I plan, one day, to head off into the sunset.
    As to myself, I'm a musician, sailor, woodworker, mechanic, plumber, sparky and general all-round handyperson who loves "engineering" challenges.
