The start of SailsLife

SailsLife is a small business of mine which is divvied up into two parts. The first is that I build small boats for people looking for reconstructed antique style boats. Second is that I am still going to school so during the winter I am not near my shop, so I do small repairs, cleanup of boats, etc. Mostly common maintenance for any looking for a little help on their boats.

If you need some help with you boat or my be interested in me building a boat for you here is my contact information. I am very good at checking email if that is your preference. Thanks for looking!

Welcome to SailsLife

So while I am still at school, I am working for a lady in Campton a town just north of Plymouth and it is one of the best jobs i have had. I get to build her furniture! This week she will be buying all the lumber for me to build her two sink vanities for her colonial house. These are going to be, once I have completed them will be beautiful elegant colonial cherry vanities with slate tops. I am so excited to began the construction because she also just bought me a brand new table saw for me to use. Craftsman!!!!

SailsLIfe

Welcome to SailsLife! This blog is about my experiences building and maintaining boats. I have just a few months ago finished building my first small sail boat and will continue to make at least one boat of some kind each summer. The first sailboat I made was a small puddle duck, and for those that have never heard of a puddle duck it is not a regular boat it is actually a rectangle and does not have a pointed bow! But building this boat was the best experience I ever had i learned so many things and it also helped me gain more experience. This summer i am planing on building two kayaks or more if time permits and selling them for about $1000 each. These will be no ordinary kayaks though they will be beautifully handcrafted wooden kayaks, very light and elegant. Well this is my introduction and what I will blogging about so stay in touch for all the updates from now until completion of each boat!
