    As a teenager my friend Craig Walker and I built an 8 foot Sabot from half a,sheet of 3/4 plywood and a full sheet of 1/4 inch plywood. We fitted her with a 17' 7 " mast and my mom sewed a 78 Sq ft sail for her. Lots of hiking out was needed as we did laps around Craig's sister and her pal sailing a heavy catamaran on Salton Sea CA back in the 1960's :)

    Great viewing having been around boats most of my life. I recal so many classic boars steadily fading away on some pontoon because their owners had gotten too old to maintain and sail them. A few were virtually given away but even less were sympathetically restored. Imputus and self honesty with regards to costs in both time and finances are essential for these lovely things to survive.....

    Am I right in thinking that the series showed several projects each episode? I remember this boat as well as Keryl, but not sure I ever saw the complete series.

    Restoring a nice dinghy. Narrative sounds like hyperboly as if it is emergency heart surgery. Like the topic. Over the top drama, not so much.
