  • Before this year, I didn't know how to build a boat. Pretty much every step of the way was aided by some very helpful people who generously shared there experience, know-how, confidence, and enthusiasm either in person or through the incredible resources provided by the Internet. Below you'll find a brief list of some the crucial links that made this project possible. Perhaps you will find them useful too.
