Part2 is now available:    • Building Ferrari's all electric woode...  

As an amateur hobbyist boat builder, I decided to replicate the Ferrari's designer Frank Stephenson's custom made Slipper launch electric boat.

I used designs from Dan Lee : ‪@DanLeeBoatbuilding‬ the plans are drawn by naval architect Michel Berryer which in my opinion way superior to GlenL's blueprints. Modern boat building is evolving and being able to navigate a 3D modeled blueprint with optional CNC cut components is the future of the wooden boat building.

I apologize for the mistakes that you may have noticed. I didn't even held a hammer before 2020 :) and boat building is an unending learning process.

My friend Bob is also working on one of Dan's designs Temptress. You may follow him on‪@Polymerman‬

Stay tuned for the part2.
