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.

Gone Travelling!

I wanted to finish building the boat and go sailing before I headed off on an extended trip to the UK. Much as I would like to stay and go sailing the boat is packed away until I return later this year. At least I know the boat is as finished as they ever are and that I could not be happier with the result of about 1000 hours work spread over a period of almost two years. Well almost two years minus 4 or 5 months of assorted travel inside and outside Australia.

Two more sleeps and then off I go to the airport.
