Description
The technical, ecconomic and labor aspects of boat building are not the primary challange. This page is a more personal look at the motovations, mental conflicts and turning points in the process of undertaking the construction of a sailing yacht.
It is hard to say exactly when the decision to build my own cruising sailboat was made. You could say it was when, at twelve years of age, I buried myself in my uncle's collection of Yachting magazines. Once the dream of sailing off to exotic places infects a small boy, it may go into remission for a while, but it never goes away.
About a year later, my parents gave me a kit for a five foot sailing pram as a Christmas present. At the tender age of thirteen, I discovered the fact that a boat builder can never have enough clamps. The poor thing leaked like a sieve, but provided many hours of happy sailing.
