SV Tapatya

Sailing vessel Tapatya

Hi, I'm Tony and this is the story of the build from scratch of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8 ft junk-rigged schooner sailing dory. The videos will trace the construction of this cruising sailboat from the first concepts through to the completion of the build. We'll show the methods of construction and the theory behind some of the choices of materials used, as the boat takes shape to become the home and travelling vessel that she will be. 

On completion, the videos will continue to actually show how the vessel and various materials used perform, also recording the locations, wildlife and people we encounter as we travel in our newly-build small home.

This is an exciting journey, with much to look forward to. Please subscribe, follow, watch and see how we get on!
