an awesome boat build...

This design by Jean-Pierre Tutard is just about the size of our first Loose Moose which we lived and sailed on for several years...

Like all Tutard designs there is a certain "something" that grabs me and makes me want to get building so I can go sailing... This one is no exception.

The French website Bateau Bois (Wooden Boat) has a great picture series of this design from near beginning to near launch, which is quite wonderful and anyone with an interest in how a modern wooden plywood boat goes together will find no shortage of good ideas and interesting tips there for the taking. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!
