#sailingdinghy

With seemingly 101 jobs still to do before setting sail, it felt productive to finally construct the box to carry the VHF fixed set and Navigation light switch. I’ve started the first layers of fibreglass and resin. Hopefully next weekend when I finish work, I can hopefully get somewhere near completing this all important unit.... Salt water is the enemy of electronics so I’m going for belt and braces where I can to limit the corrosion when at sea. #sailingdinghy #wayfarersailing #woodenboat #woodenboatsarebetter #woodenboats #dinghysailing #dinghy #dinghycruise #dinghycruisingassociation #dinghylife #uksailing #dinghyadventures #adventure #adventuresailing

Setting up the rig. Lots of mockup lines and blocks in this photo. Some of the micro blocks in action here too. I'm really getting excited for sailing now! #woodenvehicle #timemachine #windpowered #sustainable #timeless #woodworking #woodenboat #victorian #sailboat #sailingdinghy #international12dinghy #artisan #craftsman #boatbuilder
