Boat Builder Central

Hi, For all you sailors sitting at home in Winter weather there is a tip to follow the Vendee Globe race right into January 2021.

Hi Jayson,
Was surprised about the migration to Boat Builder Central but find my way around it, but most I was surprised that you did this and I always thought you built a sailboat and are a sailor like all of us. Well done with this update.
