    Lot of internal space in that one. Nice welds... As my South African friend would say (Seeing you are located there) - Lekker! that is big enough at <26 feet to be a houseboat if they don't like to sail it.

    Hi Wynand. I hate to bring up the memories of old battles, but here goes my question…

    … so did you lay the plates down onto temporary frames and weld the longitudinals into them, or weld it all flat beforehand and fold it up similar to the origami method?
