Building a home on the water
Read the first part of the book – below.
There are many ways to get on the water. Building is one way, and there are many choices available to you to save money by doing things yourself. And in the end, you have a boat made how you want.
If you are interested in building a boat, inside the book you will find lots of things to help spark new ideas. The book is my story, of how I built a 40ft catamaran.
I tackled some things a little differently to how it is normally done, and they worked. I describe each stage of the build, what it cost, the difficulties and the things I learned along the way.
