 Steve's 16 foot sailing dinghy under construction

Steve Goodchild will talk about building his sixteen foot sailing dinghy at an Amateur Yacht Research Society Zoom meeting on  11th December 2021 at 19:30.   All are welcome so do log in - you do not have to be a member of the AYRS to attend AYRS meetings.

Steve is an experienced woodworker, at one time he owned and ran a woodworking and furniture making factory in Malawi, but this was his first boat building project.

I hope that this meeting will show that the AYRS is not just about experimental boats but is also relevant to the building of practical boats for everday use – even if a boat building project produces a fairly conventional end result there is plenty of scope for inovation, both in the details and fittings and in the construction methods.  I think this will be well demonstrated by Steve’s project.

If you would like a preview to Steve’s presentation, the Stornoway 16 is a design by Selway Fisher and the example built by Steve is featured at this webpage:   https://epoxycraft.com/projects/building-a-stornoway-16-part-3/https://epoxycraft.com/projects/building-a-stornoway-16-part-3/
