Hi Uncle John, I can't think of any building problems although if I did another one I'd fiberglass either all the way up to the rub rail or just the bottom. I did half way up the sides and the fiberglass joins looked a little messy. The sail was made from an old gazebo that fell down one day in the wind (hence the name) but I think I'll upgrade it to something a little less stripey this year! It's even managed to stay afloat with my dad, me and my son with a 3hp outboard on the back. My dad weighs 24 stone (336 lbs) , I'm 18 stone (252 lbs) and my son is around 3 (42 lbs) so that's an amazing amount of weight. Roll on summer... Regards, Chris Jefferies Mullingar, Co.
