What’s this about?

I’m building a boat – specifically François Vivier’s Beg-Meil design. And, I thought I’d document the process on this blog. Maybe it’ll be useful to others, but at the very least I’ll have a good record of the experience.

Where am I located?

Seattle, Washington.

I’m fortunate to have several great wooden boat resources in the area, including the Center for Wooden Boats.

How can I be contacted?

You can email me at my first name (Karl) @ this domain name.

How long is it going to take to build this boat?

Probably a long time. Which is okay. I’ve been telling people “5 years.” We’ll see.
