Four months of winter break before i get to fiberglass... I originally hoped to do that before it gets too cold, but then stumbled on some delivery problems...

Thanks. Shop is nice size so far, in the future i'm going to need more space(someday I'll build that TW34, when the plans are out..) My location is basically north of everything.. West coast of Finland

Here you will find a map which gives a good idea of where amateur boatbuilders are to be found in greatest numbers:

Furthest north I have seen is above the artic circle in Norway and furthest south way down the bottom of Chili. Wierdest place is of course Outer Mongolia...

Hmm... Yeah. That picture shows me that i'm at least pretty close being north of everything

That shows where i'm at. Just few K:s from the seashore, and approx ten K:s up the red arrow. I think that the most furthest up red dot slightly touches my location.

Well there are some Finnish builders around. I believe one guy was building a c21 in Turku.

Well, the one beyond the arctic circle is me. Building a DE23 for the 3.rd year and will finish next spring. Bought a Suzuki DF140 a month ago so now there is no way back.
Living up north I probably should change my alias from Bear to Polarbear....

Hello, I am trying to get my wife to buy off on letting me start an FS14. This will be my first build, and I will be turning to you pro's for any advice you may have. Great posts and lots of info.

Hello there!
Finally had some progress an a few crappy cellphonecam images....
It seems to be getting too cold for epoxying, last batch took two days to dry
I was hoping to launch her before winter.... Well, maybe there's still time
