The New Project: The Spira Boat

We are going to Build the Spira International 15′ Glousterman Ultralight dory.

“The Glousterman was designed as a very light, car toppable rowing craft that would pull well and be safe to row in rougher water. The traditional dory hull shape is derived from the sturdy Grand Banks fishing dorys. The Glousterman is built from two sheets of 1/4 inch thick marine or exterior plywood by the “stitch and glue” construction method. This method requires no forms or jigs. It is ideal for the beginner or experienced boat builder. No special tools or equipment are required. Builders claim this is the fastest boat they’ve ever rowed.”

Below is the first of many vids we will be doing to cover the whole build, it should be great fun, this will be a great father and sons project. Stay tuned for more.

Born: just when the U.S. started going to hell.

In the almost 50 years I have been on this earth I have done many things, been many places and met many people, good and bad……In life, so far, I have learned that nobody knows anything for sure, that there is no sense in sweat’in the small shit, I know that I will not panic in a life or death situation, that I will fight to live, I know this from experience. That if you have no problems, you are probably dead and If you let the herd manage your life you will never be happy.

.: Man of LaMancha :.

Miguel de Cervantes:

I shall impersonate a man. His name is Alonso Quijana, a country squire no longer young. Being retired, he has much time for books. He studies them from morn till night and often through the night and morn again, and all he reads oppresses him; fills him with indignation at man's murderous ways toward man. He ponders the problem of how to make better a world where evil brings profit and virtue none at all; where fraud and deceit are mingled with truth and sincerity. He broods and broods and broods and broods and finally his brains dry up. He lays down the melancholy burden of sanity and conceives the strangest project ever imagined - -to become a knight-errant, and sally forth into the world in search of adventures; to mount a crusade; to raise up the weak and those in need. No longer will he be plain Alonso Quijana, but a dauntless knight known as

Don Quixote de La Mancha.
