Beschreibung When their old GRP yacht was devastated by a Southern Ocean storm, Jill Schinas and her husband, Nick, resolved to build something stronger. Gaily - and without having researched the matter to the least degree - they threw themselves into the work of designing and constructing the ultimate, ocean-proof, eco-friendly, dream cruising yacht. On their side they had a wealth of sailing experience, which provided a perfect knowledge of what was required, but their only other weapons were irrepressible enthusiasm and the mindset which enables a man to build a radio from a potato or a mast from a lamppost.
Had this been a business enterprise no bank would ever have lent the capital, for ranged against the dreamers was a whole battery of forces any one of which would have deterred more realistic people. For a start, neither Jill or Nick had any experience with a welder - and yet they were proposing to build a steel boat. Secondly, they seemed only to have enough money to buy a couple of masts and the sails. Worst of all, they had two kids and a new baby in tow - and no one with a young family ought to attempt anything more ambitious than the washing up. Regardless of these drawbacks, Nick and Jill went ahead.

"It'll only take a year and a half," said he, confidently.

Fifteen years down the line, Mollymawk is afloat and the family have cruised all over the Atlantic; but the boat is still not finished.
This is the tale of what went wrong and what went right. Packed full of advice about such things as ocean-worthy design and sail plans, it will also tell you how to operate a cutting torch, how to avoid a leaky stern-gland, how to pour your own rigging sockets, how to handle a ferocious gander, how to sandblast, how to weld in mid-Atlantic, how to amuse three young children in a cabin space the size of a phone booth… and much, much more besides.
"This thing will never be more than a rusting steel can."

- Xoë Schinas, aged 6, one year into the boatbuilding project.

"At last, the truth about steel boatbuilding."

- Nick Skeates, designer of the Wylo II Kurzbeschreibung Titel: How Not to Build a Boat | Medium: Taschenbuch | Autor: Jill Dickin Schinas | Einband: Kartoniert / Broschiert | Ausstattung / Beilage: Paperback | Sprache: Englisch | Seiten: 298 | Maße: 246 x 189 x 16 mm | Erschienen: 17.08.2013 | Anbieter: MEOVERSA Das erwartet Sie bei MEOVERSA
