Wood Composite Centre Console Sportfisherman
I drew the Didi 38 and Paper Jet designs for myself and thoroughly enjoyed sailing those two boats, perfectly suited to my own needs at the time. The next best thing to designing for one’s own use is to do so for a close friend or relative, which still allows regular experiences of the resulting boat.
built by David Yeowart, Victoria Point, Queensland
David sent us an email and photos of his boat in the process of building and we were knocked out by the standard of work and the sheer beauty of his creation. We were even more impressed by the fact that this is his first boat build.
Having built a number of boats over the years, I have always dreamed of designing my own boat. Then one day I realised that I was running out of time and soon it would only be a dream. So I decided to build a small cabin sailing boat. I wanted to see how small it could be, but still have room in the cabin to stretch out and sleep. Being over 6ft the cabin had to be high enough to sit up and have legroom under the cockpit seat. I have always sailed small boats, but another advantage was that if it didn’t work it would not be a big financial loss.
