Re: Why build your own boat?
And I have yet to paint my seats fully. I did start though! :lol: Good to hear from you Wob. :D Likewise! I've been planning on painting my seats for years now ;) That, and my First Mate keeps threatening to make cushions! Nice clip but not long enough about the boat. I did not need the subtitles. ...

Re: Why build your own boat?
I've just been approached by a TV show to have the boat in one of their episodes! The show was on TV tonight, and they post on YouTube immediately after: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-jwhiomnOc Skip to 22:55 to see the boat, or watch the whole episode to see the village where I live ;) Regards,...

Re: Can I stand in my unfinished boat?
How is the hull supported? When I was at that stage, I had the hull supported by planks along the keel and underneath the stringers, for over a year! imo you're not going to be able to use that platform if the plans call for laminating glass on the inside - you need to be able to walk around inside ...
