What Boat Should I Build?
“the desire to build a house is the tired wish of a man content thence forward with a single anchorage.
The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth, unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final resting place”

How to organise your own Redfin 22 Mk2 kit
During my Mum’s gradual decline due to age I used the time when I wore the carer’s hat to design and build the prototype Redfin 22. This boat, called Jess after Mum, was launched in April 2000.
Trailer Suspension
As I mentioned in an earlier article my Jarcat trailer was built to Ross’ plan including Al-Ko suspension. I did change the wheel size though, I don’t like those little 10” wheels. They’re expensive, the tyres are not cheap; also because the wheels are so small they spin very rapidly at highway speeds shortening bearing life and they fall into quite small pot holes.
