Deciding to build a sailboat

I decided to build a sailboat. It is called a Cat Ketch 17 designed by Jacques Mertens see http://www.bateau.com/



I have built one before; the second time should be easier? The boat is 17' 6" long, has a 6' beam, two masts and two cockpits.

Here is what it is supposed to look like

here is what it looks like so far:

You cut the pieces out first. then stitch them together. finally you glue them together with epoxy and fiberglass. the method is called "Stitch and Glue"









the boat is upside down without the bottom. So far the process has been fairly easy and is going faster than I had expected.



















Below is the other boat I built. It is called Chameleon and is a nesting dinghy.

I almost forgot I built a cradle in the shape of a boat for my first grandson. Here is a photo of it:
