Introduction

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea"
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

With that in mind one may think that anybody with a passion for the sea can build an ocean going yacht. But be warned! It is not something that can be taken lightly. It takes time and dedication.This project was started in 2004 with the purchase of plans for the Didi 34. Although almost finished, it is still ongoing.

Coaming constuction


By end of the end of June I finished both the coamings. I deviated slightly from the design plans. Instead of making the outside sides at an angle of 55 degrees (first picture), I made them to align with the cabin sides at 35 degrees. I do not like the sharp edge at the top of the coamings when the sides are at 55 degrees. It also looks better doing it the more traditional way. Furthermore, it is easier to mount the winches on a flat surface rather than building winch mounts at an angle.

coaming at 55 degrees (not my build)
