Just thought I'd off an invitation to anyone interested in designing and building their own sailboat. I'm including videos below that have led up to the present status of where I'm at and their will be many more to follow with progress updates. The series of videos starts with a basic concept, setting paramaters and initial concept sketch. Future videos will show the final design and construction drawings, plus the entire step by step building process. Finally, there will be more videos of the launch, fit-out, sea trials, and several voyages. Stay tuned on this forum for regular updates, or you can subscribe to my YouTube channel or Facebook page. Note: I'm a retired naval architect and marine engineer. I used to have a wooden boat building shop on Cape Cod years ago, so this isn't my first rodeo! I've been landlocked for the past 15 years here in Maine, my wife is a landlubber, and I now have a need to get back to sea. My soul needs this! The story continues........
