This website includes a summary of the construction and details of my first homebuilt boat, a Vector (design by Jim Michalak). In addition, I am keeping an online journal here of the construction of my second boat project, another Jim Michalak design called the Fatcat2. In it you will find photos, tips and cautions for others looking to build their own sailboat. After having sailed my Vector (which was named "Valkyrie" in honor of my Swedish ancestry), for three seasons, I've developed a better idea for the type of boat that would better suit my personal needs. As a result, I have recently (and reluctantly!) sold my Vector in order to make room for my next project. I hope you find the info here both interesting and valuable.
