March Passagemaker - Duck Builders
Submitted by cac on Fri, 2011-02-04 23:28PassageMaker Magazine, a good "print" magazine (that you can now also subscribe to online for a lower cost and much greater space savings) has a fairly detailed "pro's and con's" article on home building a cruising boat in this month's issue. Concentrating on George Buehler's Diesel Duck designs and the people building them, it seems a good recap of some of the things you need to think about.

Submitted by cac on Sat, 2009-11-28 22:38I've long had a real love/desire for Buehler's Diesel Duck designs and have followed the building of many of them. Pro-Tech Marine did the following video "walk throughs" that you might enjoy.

Call of the sea
Submitted by cac on Sun, 2009-02-22 11:04Our friends Warren and Robin, who cruised the Pepi for quite a while around the southeastern US and then "got out of boating" have found they just can't stay away. Currently planning a Diesel Duck build in Turkey.
I like the "jump in and do it" style, and am glad to see them getting back on the water!
