The windows are in and sealed and went fairly smoothly. Thanks to the fact they were well formed to shape and to Terry. Fitting the larger windows is definitely not a one man job. And the black goop used to seal/adhere

That title should mean a lot of new hits. And possibly a cease and desist from Bill G. But seriously, I have finally got my windows and am close to fitting them. I made the molds from the outcut pieces with a 3mm mdf

Paul and Jo

We want to spend a long time travelling the world, and whilst we aren't passionate (or experienced) sailors we decided that the best way to do this is on a boat. We have started the trip by building our own floating home, a 40ft catamaran. Yikes! We built a catamaran

We believe that it will take us about 5 years to build her (part time) and at least 10 years to sail her to the places we have set our sights on. So for the next 15 years or so we plan to journal our adventures on this website. Enjoy!
