Trying to manufacture an Ian Oughtred designed Caledonia Yawl in the back yard.

Winter is here.
There she is looking pretty forlorn. Tomorrow off to SE Asia until March. Looking forward to getting back and watching the snow melt off. Two projects to tackle first thing in the spring is building the outboard well and making a new set of oars. I have bought an ancient 2hp outboard and got it going despite the fact that it was -20 C outside. First open water I will be learning to sail this thing. I am convinced when I am sailing by myself that I need a considerable amount of ballast. I will also be working on that.
Happy winter everyone!
