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.

Cabin and deck fairing

The time has come to prepare the cabin and deck for the epoxy glassfiber sheathing layer I am going to add to all exterior surfaces. This involves the time consuming process of fairing by planing and sanding. Fairing is the process of creating or shaping a smooth line, edge or surface, free of hollows or bumps. Its purpose is to correct any unevenness or flaws in the surface after the structure is completed. Final fairing begins with overall fairing. Removing major high spots and/or filling low spots over broad areas. Then local fairing removes any remaining minor surface irregularities and makes the surface texture smooth to the touch.
