Building plans

Yvo Schotman is building

the dayboat in aluminium to

test his new welding machine -

the boat by the holiday house.

The transom and bulkheads

are just propped up

temporarily to get a sense of

the boat's size - Tad Scheeler,

Michigan, USA.

Kim Pohlner has been working

odd days and hours, in no

hurry - Tasmania, Australia.

Pasquale of Italy built

the sloop version of the

dayboat.

Alan Edwards has chosen

the dayboat as his first

boat building project -

United Kingdom.

Tomasz Kaźmierczak's boat

being launched on a charming

lake in Poland.

Pat Dunne is going to use

his boat for rowing mostly,

but also with an outboard

motor - Ireland.
