Well that definately makes sense but lets say that I want a "monument" as you
call it. Then what. I mean theoretically if i build it myself and I do a
good job then I can stand on the dock and be very pleased with myself. Plus
I can say things like 'i built this thing with my own two hands from scratch
then sailed it around the world, that's why everyone has to listen to me
while on'. Not that they would but it might be nice to be able to say. I
think that buying a boat would still take some time since I would have to
save up the added cost of a completed boat before I can buy anything while in
the Homebuilt one, I could, in theory, move onto it before spars sails and
radio equipment were ever purchased. I could be massively wrong in this
assumption though as I have no idea what any of this would take. I have seen
a lot of different things but I can only opperate on the assumption that I am
very wrong in anything I currently am thinking.

But yeah monuments seem nice.
