i think the biggest question is - where do you want to sail it? in a lake? on a river? in the ocean?

how many passengers do you want to carry? just big enough for you and a friend? or big enough to take a family out for a sail?

the guys on Mythbusters built a functional sailboat using duct tape and a metal frame so it's definitely not an impossible feat. either way i'd definitely be interested in seeing and reading your progress on this endeavor. good luck :thumb:

i just wanna say how awesome i think it is that you are building a boat. and i think that when you are done, you will be even more rewarded than you thought in the beginning.

good luck man!

Yeah, I don't want to dissuade you from doing it because it's definitely possible. There's just going to be a hell of a lot of preparation involved, which might actually be fun, depending on how you look at it.

It'll be much easier if you've got a decent carpentry background too.

I've built a shed, and a dog runner before. I also spent a year in a frame shop for what its worth :laughing:
