Philippine has more than seven thousand Islands. You may consider it.

What would be the best place in the world to build a wooden boat from
the ground up?

Money is always an issue, but I'm also looking for a professional
boatyard that can make the right job, since the hull is going to have
an aluminum structure inside a composite sandwich filled with
polyuretane.

Many years ago, Malaysia and thereabouts used to have a few cheap and
proficient boatyards.

Many Thanks
