From dreaming of sailing, to dream sailing. I have built boats, sailed boats and read about boats. My other passion is photography. There are possibly too many sailing & photography blogs already, so one more can't hurt…
Now I'm building a Class Globe 5.80.
There are no small boats, only small sailors.

Globe 580, All frames finished, phew !


Globe 580, All frames finished. 

Finally, I've finished all eight frames, it seems like I've been kneeling down, screwing and glueing forever and now it's time to move on to a new phase.





Here are loads of images of different stages. I hope they are helpful to future builders but remember, it's my way of doing things. The other builders blogs show numerous ways of achieving the same result.

The best part of making Frame S was I got to use old school chisels and mallet, long overdue.

  1. Wow, great progress there, I'm impressed. Must be immensely satisfying to start to see the shape of the boat rather than a collection of flat bulkheads.
