Couple wanted a sailboat, so they built one — that simple (51 Photos)

Nice work. I hope the aluminum plays nice with the seawater.

HOW DO YOU AFFORD THESE THINGS!

I was hoping the next pic would be of the boat floating in the pool….

bravo, yes you can

My wife and I have trouble deciding the proper way to cook ramen noodles…

Couple wanted a sail boat. Couple had lots of money. So they built one. Simple as that. Cool though.

At first I thought it was a COCAINE SUBMARINE!

This is okay I guess

Did, at any time during the building process, the wife ever come outside and yell 'Quit playing with your dinghy"?

no paint?

That's pretty bad-ass!

You would think that they would've painted it considering how corrosive salt is to aluminum.

i envy their skill and dedication to the project, i expect they are now living aboard boat and travelling the globe !!!

I think that I've seen this boat – Dutchman's Cove near Penetang/Midland on Georgian Bay. There can't be that many custom-built, aluminum boats kicking-around. If it's the same, it's amazing in-person, and surely it could take one hell of a beating. The only downside that I could see is that on sunny days, you wouldn't want to be standing on the deck barefoot and without sunglasses (it's been buffed-up quite a bit since these pictures).

#6 thats a dick!

You dumb bastard! That's not a schooner, it's a sailboat!

wow thats incredible ,all that steel looks great

Really impressive metal work. Some serious dedication and skill went into this.

# 50. how did they raise the funds again;)

Prestige Worldwide!!!!

wow.. that's impressive, must have cost a shit ton of moneys though!

#50 It's a meth lab

Home made aluminum boats leak. Chronically. One or two squalls and some sturdy chop and that hull is a sieve of tiny leaks, you'll never find em all. Just keep the bilge pumps on and hope the water doesn't short the electrics. Noah, now theres a guy who could build a boat.
