Part of the function of a good boat-builder is to make people's dreams come true.
One dream I am particularly enthusiastic to realise is that of an American expatriate who works for a large oil exploration and drilling company and who has, for many years, wanted to build a cruising yacht with traditional, timeless lines. To this end, I suggested that he commission Albert Nazarov to design it. Needless to say, Albert immediately fell in love with the project and within a month, had put together a first draft of the plans and engineering specifications for a 44-foot ketch reminiscent of the elegant ocean-going designs of William Gardener.
Construction of the jig is scheduled to begin in June, this year, and the hull will be built of red cedar strip-plank composite. The timber is already being dried in a local kiln.
