I'm building a boat to a design by Paul Fisher of Selway Fisher Design in the UK. The design is called "Able" and her vital statistics are: overall length 4.88m (16ft), beam 2m (6ft 6in) and design weight is 360kg (790lbs). You can read more about this design at http://www.selway-fisher.com/OtherDB.htm#KANE.

I intend to procede more slowly with this boat than I did with either of my other boat building projects (see links below on the right). This is, after all, a hobby and there are other things to do. So, updates to this blog might happen once every week or two. Come back and see.

She Sails

Had a great 5 days at Lake Wivenhoe with some members of the Wooden Boat Association. The lake has a surface area of 109 square kilometres and a shoreline of 462 kilometres so it is big enough for serious sailing. Here are a couple of frames from some video taken by one of the other members. When the video arrives I will put some/all of it on the web.



Still a few things to sort out but I am very happy with my new boat!
