I am sorry, I do not speak Turkish. But from the best I can translate online, you are asking what this would cost, and what the beam is? It cost me $2500 to build in 1992, and it has about a 7 foot beam. But usual building costs for others were higher, as much as $10,000. Take care, Rich.

Hey Dude: There was an article in WoodenBoat in the 1980's about an English couple who built a large catamaran, and crossed the Atlantic. They made it like an Irish Curragh (sp?). It had a bend wood frames, and was covered with two layers of tarred cloth. It was very inexpensive, but very tough. Other than that, you would need to get a Ross bandsaw, and cut your own frames and planks from trees you felled. It's been done! Sorry I'm not the expert on large homebuilts... But best of luck.

Any suggestions on how to make a LARGE ( I mean 64' long 24' wide) ship using just stuff Id find in the Catskill forest? (less power tools the better) I plan to go completely medieval as much as possible thanks and thats a hella nice boat

Franki-Gi: Thanks! I hope you post some vids when you get the chance. I looked at the Glen-L "Amigo", and the Ian Oughtred "Grey Seal", before building this boat. But I really liked the Glen-L study plans. I could tell they were very detailed... Good luck... Rich.

Hey Buddy, (Sorry for my bad english writing)thank's for your video. I'm presenstly built a 27' feet sail boat, in a plywood method. (From Glen-L California) And to see your boat finish, boost back my energy to stat my second summer, in this project. Good job, and i hope you'll have the opportunity to do another one, as you wish...Respect...Franki-Gi (Montreal, Canada)

Thank you for the nice comments! It was a lot of fun, and I hope to build another someday. What ship models have you built, or do you collect? That would make a good video for youtube, if you have a clip. Take care, Rich.

This is amazing! I can't believe people still build their own sailboats. I have always wanted a sailboat but building one would be even better. I love seeing all the woodwork inside. Great Job! This is the kind of stuff that created my interest in tall ship models.

Thank you for the comments. The boat took about 7 months from the time I first started cutting out the bulkheads in my garage. I did those parts in late winter, and finished the boat in August of 1992. It was the first boat I built. The design is Steve Redmond's Elver, a 20' Canoe Yawl (although the layout is really a ketch). It is about 900 pounds on the trailer, maximum 1400 pounds sailing. Take care, Rich.
