    i have plans to build a sixty foot livaboard but have a few questions i live on the london area on the grand union and am wondering if you can build on a hull at a paid for non residential mooring and also were if anywhere you can rent space to build and how in the hell you get a 60ft glass sheathed ply hull into the water without snapping the thing in half.
    i would appreciate any ideas that are forthcoming.

    Don't know about local regulations on building, but moving a 60 ft boat can be done by:

    - Crane (a vessel is normally strong enough to take two slings around the hull)
    - boat craddle (how you store them for the winter is how you move them)

    Regards,

    The first thing you've got to do is move to Western Australia.
    We've got all the room in the World. If you're a skilled worker there are plenty of jobs, decent weather to go boating in.

    And we are really friendly people, we just hate migrants but you'll get used to that.

    Stay where you are and keep making those English Pounds mate and have your vessel built to your specs in Malaysia at a very reasonable price. When it is done then the vessel is in paradise already, you just have to fly out and sail away.
