Building

Are you building a boat? Write a short (or long) article about your building experience and we will publish it here. If you have a web site write a short presentation - an executive summary - and we will link from that to the full details on your site. If you are not sure of your writing skills do not worry - your article can be edited for you. We publish in English and in your native tongue (click on the flag), and we are one of the rare amateur boat building communities to do that (please tell us we are the only one!).
Articles are listed with the most recent publication date first.
