Hi. This blog will be mainly about boat building, but might deviate to other subjects as the mood fits. The photo above shows two boats designed by Iain Oughtred, the closest one is my Whilly Tern "Caitlin" and the one on the water is a Ness Boat "Wideawake" built by Phil Humphrey. Both of these boats were built by amateurs in their sheds or garages.
