| Build and launch of Richard Woods designed performance sailing catamaran. |
| ||
When I got started on this project I had intended to "do" a website. However I couldn't seem to find a simple starter kit and time just got away from me.
About a month ago I discovered this site and method of providing emails and updates to friends and family. So this is a first attempt to see how it works.
I am going to try to insert the data on the boat that I intended to use for the website. Hope it works. If it does, I will try to do a swift "from start to finish" on this weblog, then if you are interested, you can easily see any updates based on the entry date.
Here goes ... Below is a brief description of the boat I am building.
II. Transit 38 by Woods Designs The best way to learn about the designer Richard Woods, would be to look at his biography on the Woods Designs website www.sailingcatamarans.com . There is some general information about the design on this site also. However to save you the time, I have provided below a couple of line drawings that will give you an overview of the design. (Not a very attractive or colourful overview, but ...)
