'sea serpent'

The line takes the sails UP. You can PULL the sails down. You'll have a motor right? Do you have boating experiance?

 

You can take them out with a socket set or wrench.

Touche.

Get the boat designed and built. You can add all the fancy extras later.

no i dont have a motor,also,how do i pull the sails down?

 

i think now ill go for a cutter type thing,or a cruiser ,one that can go to sea,based on a shanty so that its easy to transport,and quite cheap to build.also i would like it to be double masted,but that doesnt matter AS much.

 

yes - imagination is more important than knowledge

but - Start with imagination, back it up with knowledge.

start with a dingy, do a search for PDRacer.

look at some designs by P. Bolger and other reputable designers.

Learn to sail on protected water.

When you move to a bigger boat, you will already have a tender.

 

funny thing is i was just thinking about this kind of thing today

Heres a detachable cabin

Sweet find Bertram!

 

good one!but do you know how it would be constructed?

 

With canvas, what are you talking about?

 

hmm,another idea,making a kind of case over large peices of vertical wood!

 

thats not a cabin either,its a tent.

 

rember weight is a factor, boom tents have been around for a very long time, and people have traveled the world with them.

 

but with it being a sea-boat,im not so keen on a boom tent.

 

If you made a boom tent and put a 21st century twist on it with your imagination you could have a 2nd house!
