The Plans Have Arrived

Oct 10, 2021

Now the dream goes LIVE!


I like to be challenged, and I expect this project won't disappoint.  I have the plans, I have some questions, I have some doubts, but most importantly I have the chance of building a ClassGlobe 5.80... the builders Mini!  The designer of the yacht is Janusz Maderski and his construction of the boat can be seen here.

I will be starting the build early in 2022, and this is my blog.  

Notes to self...

#1 - Don't give up on the dream

#2 - Keep it simple

#3 - Be patient

I will name my boat 'El Camino' because I am inspired by those that have journeyed before me.
