As I am waiting for my Malahini plans & boatmaking book to arrive, I am keeping myself busy researching prospective suppliers in my area, looking at a few hundred project photo's to familiarize myself with the general process, and try to narrow down the look I want to achieve in the end (deck patter...

I bought the Malahini plans yesterday. First step...

I've read that boatmaking can be addictive, but for now I am going to take the approach this will be my one and only should I mo...

Hi there. I apologize for the long post.. I need to give some background so I can get the right advice. I've recently re-discovered my interest in boating after a 20 year break. I am in the land-locked (but Oil rich) province of Alberta, Canada. Alberta has a fair amount of lakes but most of them ar...
