Sailing a Pocketship : A new home

[@GeorgeSagen]

Very peaceful. My wife walked in while I was watching and said, "Look how happy he is. Maybe we'd be that happy if we had a boat." Sometimes I really like the way she thinks.

I like the way your wife thinks too. Thanks for your comment and I hope you both find the boat of your dreams.

Congratulations! I've been following the construction since the beginning here in Brazil.

That's great thank you and best wishes to you from the UK 😊

Hello Alan, I was very pleased to see a little video from you again. You have a great spot for sailing, and the view of the small town is great! I have now finished building my Pocketship, the underside is finished and the boat is now on the trailer. Now the electrics will go into the boat over the winter and then paint on the top in the spring. As I said, I'm so happy for you, it must be great to sail on your own keel - I can't wait for that to happen either. Ahoy from Germany, Bavaria, Timo

Good to hear from you Timo, sounds like you've made great progress with your boat. It's a magical moment when she takes to the water and you get to feel for real the buoyancy, stability, responsiveness etc. Then there's the knowledge that you have made the boat yourself. Enjoy the last steps and please keep me posted!

Beautiful job. The color inside the cockpit is a nice touch.

Thanks, I got the colour scheme from one I saw in Wooden Boat magazine. All the best 😊

Absolutely marvellous. Your smile told us everything. You've also got access to the whole of the UK via the canals if you wanted to cruise inland, I believe? Best wishes on a wonderful and inspiring accomplishment.

Good idea, I was thinking of exploring some lakes and canals, so much to choose from! Thanks for your comment and for watching 😊
