Starting a few years ago and really ending only recently I built, from scratch, a 50 inch remote control sailboat. I was only a kid when I started it, so I called it "MY ALLOWANCE." You could propbably do something along the lines of wages or something.

It's amazing how any boat, no matter how big or small, always costs a lot compared with how much you want to spend. It;s also amazing how one boat always leads to another, usually bigger. I think I'll build an ocean liner next. Hey, there's a good name, well, maybe not.

: If the boat ends up costing you a lot more than expected: Cash Flow.
: My grandfather built fishing dories. One of my cousins rebuilt one of his old
: boats, converted it to sail and calls it "Splinters".

: Glen in Baie-St-Paul.
