Long service leave of approximately three months + need/ want a boat + must be a beautiful boat + must be capable of satisfying everyone in the family’s needs = my new project.
This could indeed be a wonderful adventure. But could I do it? After all, building a boat is no small undertaking, fraught with unknowns, perils and dangers. How many backyards have I seen littered with someone’s unfinished dream boat? Too many.
Amateur boat building means just that. You are starting something incredibly complex that you know nothing about. Still this hasn’t stopped others doing it (and doing it well).
Here are two of them. This is a beautifully completed and finished “Tammie Norrie“.
