OWNER-BUILT BOATS WITH GREAT PERFORMANCE
Beautiful interior woodwork of bill Connor's Didi 40cr Alizée. Top quality amateur woodwork.
Radius chine plywood, as a boatbuilding method, started as an experiment and developed over the next decade to where it became a major part of my design business. About half of my new commissions in the past 20 years have been for this method in one form or another, from small day-sailers through to large cruising catamarans.
Thoughts On Turning Boats
The majority of boat designs for amateur builders nowadays are built upside down. There are good reasons for this, gravity is your friend, and long panels and planks can be laid on the building frame for fitting, especially for shorthanded work as there is no need for complicated sticks to shore up planks. Also sanding fairing and painting an upturned hull is far easier.
