i too have always wanted to sail,....
i can remember when i was a little girl, we lived out at lake mexia,...it was just me and mom, we had a little fiber glass, two man sail boat,.....its one of the best memories of my life
i think because of this, i have always payed attention to articles and such about small boat building,...there have been quite a few in mother earth news
b, its totally do able, and while its going to require some funds,......it can be funded at your own pace if you really think about it, so dont let that stop you
do you have somewhere to maintain this project?
i'm pretty sure youre smart enough to find a ship builder who can answer questions,....or can read instructions
so have at it,.....i figure when you are finished, it will either float or it wont,...but either way you just built your own boat,...
