Happy New 2023.
Almost 4 years of full time boat build, up to March 2023. 4 years, 8 hours a day, 28 days a month, 12 months a year. 10 752 man hours. The stainless steel fuel tanks have been welded up, with a little bit of help from a friend. The planning and designing of these tanks have taken about 4 years. Just need to pressure test them, install them, and connect them. The boat was moved forward half a meter to make space for more welding on the stern pushpit. Not so easy with the extra weight of lead in the keel. Used a few jacks, chains, chain block and a few sturdy trees. Still debating the name of our boat: Betwixt Wreckless and Obliquity. Tig welding fuel tanks.
