why not take a look at www.schoonersail.com and see the 70' steel schooner that my friend John has
built for himself.
Wow, that's a cool boat. I like the 3 masted schooner and he even
talks a little about the origins of the rig on the web site. Mentions
my main man Pete Culler too. Needs more pictures though.
I think it will be very hard to beat this as a self-build project carried
through to fruition.
Too right. Looks like he finished it up properly, even to the point of
carrying dories on the deck. I find it hard to believe that they
financed a project of this size & complexity by working only part
time, unless one or both of them has some advanced skills in one of
the higher paying fields. All too many people start a big project like
this, and then it ends up a pile of scrap and a forgotten dream.
