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!

I've set up a Patreon page to try to help me achieve what I want to do with this project. Basically, I intend to post regular video blogs of the boat building process, where I'll attempt to show how I get on, how I go about the various steps, what goes well and what doesn't, where difficulties arise and how I deal with them. I'll also discuss my thoughts on aspects of the boat and build - boat choice, materials, processes, technologies, gear. I will certainly be considering environmental aspects of boat building and will talk about them.

When the build is finished, I intend to head off and will continue vlogging as I make my way, probably through the European inland waterways to the Med and beyond.

My Patreon page is here;  https://www.patreon.com/sv_tapatya

Your support will be appreciated!!

A childhood made of "concrete and manure" ... what an image! ;-)

I like the new Patreon page and your first video. Now I'll have to think of a question that I think is worth 10 bucks (is that Euros, Dollars, or Pounds by the way) and that I can't ask you for free on a daily basis.

Damn ... I forgot the comment section shows a time posting. I was officially on break then.

P.S.: Please, don't invite the bosses to read this...

Well.... It wasn't all concrete and manure. I did go fishing quite a lot :-)

Although, in all truth, ALL of my earliest memories are connected with barrowing either concrete or manure from the road out the front, down our driveway to somewhere in the back garden. Maybe it speaks volumes that I even had a functioning toy wheel barrow at that earliest memories age!
