    Kedku has not indicated what his budget is and how many years he is ready to put into the project. If he does a proper estimate, he will probably find it is not feasible. My best advice is to get a used boat and go sailing. You may like and then spending time and money is reasonable. Or, you may hate it and save a lot of money and effort.

    I'm reminded of the bloke I met who was about 15 years into building a steel Roberts 53 mono. He had a bunch of rusty frames set up, partially plated. He had about 50 pages of drawings for the interior woodwork he was planning to do. I asked his wife how long she thought he would take to finish. Her reply: "He'll never finish it. He loves having a boat in the backyard, but he's scared of the sea."

    Hello Kekdu,
    is a easy to build trimaran an option for you or do you prefer a catamaran?

    Have Fun, Michel

    GOLDEN advice!
    (my guess at the ratio boatbuilding projects started: finished by starting builder=1:10? )
