This blog gives a chronological history of the building process.

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.
The boat plans specify a simple Plexiglas sliding hatch. However I decided to go for a more traditional look with a hatch build from marine ply and teak.
The companionway frame and hatch slides were also made using teak.
