Good Day everyone, My name is Tonja Jiran and I'm the surviving daughter of Manfred Jiran. Fred was in the process of building a composite catamaran named "This is it" when he passed October of 2024. I'm here for a few reasons and hoping someone might be able to lead me in the right direction...

I have several questions about layup and general production. I was hoping some of you more experienced guys could help me. I have a full time job and I’d like to keep it. I have built 5 small 1-2 man boats for myself over the years using the glue and stitch method, so I’m familiar with...

Hi all, I'm designer (graphic, products, interior) and I got this crazy idea to potentially launch a boat building company in thailand. Thailand BOI offers tax incentives and many benefits as they want to develop this growing sector. Also, as it's a BOI approved business you can own a land...

Good evening all I am one of the dreaded newbies :-). I have been sailing Sunfish for a bit and would like to build a little boat. I have not built a boat before but have build coffee tables, done a basement completely and so on. So, not completely clueless with DIY but still please consider...

I want to build some no frills bay boats between 15ft and 16ft. I plan on putting 9.9hp outboards on them and using them as rental boats. Any thoughts? Anyone have a mold? I'm looking for something like a Privateer.

I just made off with a "free boat," (no such thing as a free boat.) What kind of boat do I have? Fiberglass over plywood. Sincerely, Trailer Bob

Dear Altruists, Could you please give me a bill of quantities for a yacht/ sailboat? I need to know the cost breakdown. I am acknowledged about the fact the price depends on the size, type, machinery along with many other factors. Thank you.

Hello, Everyone! I have been working on this particular design for about a month now and finally getting things done. I went out and hunted for a hull that was close to my design, and it turned out to be a 1973 19.5ft Aquasport. The only option was to chop the hull in half and...

They have been just released and for those who want to see them the link to the ABC news article is Improbable Research https://www.improbable.com/ig/winners/#ig2018 But the one most relevant to us, the boat building world is something we already know. No One Reads The Manuals. — Thea...

Hello guys, I am working on a university robotic project which requires a boat of size around 0.7x0.5x0.2m It's a small boat but I need a motor which works without the presence of a human, like a robot. Was checking at outboard motors but they need manual input Where should I find motors like...

A long time ago in the 70's an archtect built houses by spraying foam over a balloon and deflating it when the foam set. Apparently it is still done today. I'm wondering if some sort of foam technique like this could build a sail boat? Other types of water craft like small barges or house boats...

Moin moin! Want you to check out my homemade flat bottomed skiff! Really curious ´bout what you´re thinking... Just to invite myself: I´m a non-professional boat builder from Germany. First I was looking at the internet to get a used boat. Like you know I guess, there´re lot of ruins at it for...

Dear All, I've been wanting to build a small boat (2 to 3ish meters) for a while, however I want to do so in an easy and cheap way with minimal tools. Rather than using plywood, complex ribbing and strip planking, or foam composite techniques to create a hull, what's stopping me from getting a...
