Evenings and weekends we have also been building a 50’ sailboat for the last 6 years for the owner of the company, NICE!!! Sleeps 12 and has everything a home would need. We just took it down the Mississippi, over to Kentucky Lake, took everything the Westerbeke had! at one point I think we were going backwards and getting caught up in the barge wakes and spinning a few rounds was a lot of fun. scary!!! and then down to Mobile where the mast is getting stepped and the sails made. Then we are off to St. Thomas hell yeah!!! where she will port out of.
