For those thinking of going into the boatbuilding . One major advantage to building a boat from a kit, as opposed to from a set of plans, is that the building methods will have been carefully thought through for home builders.

Ray Anderson was a boatbuilding novice when he started to build his Swallow Boats Storm Some companies will create a kit for you from a set of plans. Selway Fisher and Iain Oughtred have a number of designs listed on their websites from which Jordan Boats will build a kit.

Alternatively, you can buy a bare GRP hull moulding from a company like Lauren Marine of Southampton, which has recently started selling the hulls of Hunter Boats for home completion. Jordan Boats will produce a kit from any set of plans with copyright permission, supplying you with all the plywood panels precision pre-cut.

They are already tooled up to produce the kits for a number of Iain Oughtred, Selway Fisher and Dudley Dix rowing boats, dayboats and small cruisers, as well as a variety of craft from the pens of other designers. We asked three customers about their chosen boats. The Iain Oughtred-designed Wee Seal has plenty of character. Retired from the financial services sector, Gordon Simpson is excited about his project.

I built an Iain Oughtred-designed clinker rowing boat first. I then started looking for an open boat, but my wife wanted something we could sleep on � so we settled on the Wee Seal. I wanted something with character, and she fits the bill. Kit includes all plywood parts and MDF moulds. Total cost will be around five times this price, for additional timber, glues, paint, fixings and rope.

Graphic designer Graham Young started building his Selway-Fisher Tideway 14 pocket cruiser three-and-a-half years ago. But I reckon three more months should see it through. Graham has just finished painting the hull and is now moving onto the rudder and rig.

When moored to a floe for the night among loose pack ice, we set an ice and bear watch on a one-hour rotation. Although the air was still, the floes and bergs were gently moving. There were several individual seals on floes surrounding the boat. At about the seals started behaving strangely and as a group. Just before a polar bear hove into view among the nearby bergy bits. He was several miles offshore and swimming towards the boat.

We were prepared for firm action, but he swam away after gentle gesticulations and calls from us. The third voyage which was in late August probed further north in east Greenland and into Scoresby Sund. The aim of the third voyage was to circumnavigate Milne Land, a large island inside Boat Builder Magazine Quote Scoresby Sund. We saw no polar bears but were lucky enough to see several musk oxen. Milne Land is separated from the mainland by a corridor of awe which is one nautical mile wide, 1,m deep and the rock faces lead up to peaks 2,m high.

It is impossible to visually understand the scale as there is no calibration from familiar items such as houses or trees. By this time in the year it was getting progressively dark at night and was correspondingly colder. Having completed the circumnavigation, and with the evenings drawing in, prudence commended a return to Iceland. In late September, as we approached the Arctic Circle from the north on our way to the safe winter harbour of Husavik in northern Iceland, I was looking forward with some anticipation to rounding off a satisfying season of celestial navigation.

After every passage, the intended landfall had emerged out of the horizon on the end of the bowsprit to much effusive congratulation from the crew and no doubt some surprise. In this instance, on passage back from east Greenland, my careful calculations and allowances, made despite the fog and magnetic variance were already looking doubtful as two islands which should have been visible from our course remained either invisible or had sunk.

A bold headland emerged as it should on the end of the bowsprit. This longed for landfall subsequently revealed itself to be a mountain 20 miles to the West of our intended landfall on North Iceland. My understanding on reflection is that I had not made enough allowance for the East Greenland Current. Some consolation for these navigational failings was provided by the appearance of the Northern Lights.

Green swathes of light danced across the sky and seemed to rain down upon us. It was cold staying on deck to look upwards but enthralling. With her shallow draught Boat Builder Magazine 1978 3d and centreplate, almost everywhere is in reach. My children can sail her easily too. When not racing, Andrew uses his DY for family coastal day trips. My own fleet on the Yealm is the largest, with around 30 DYs � up to 25 participate in our Wednesday evening racing series.

Peter Bowden told me he once raced Salcombe Yawls. So when his wife said she wanted to sail again, he thought of the SY. She can either be raced or cruised under full rig, or be sailed gently under jib and mizzen when one wants to just potter.

It took a while to get the system right but I can now launch and recover her single-handed. Mike Bennet told me he originally bought a Drascombe Dabber when he first moved to Dittisham on the Dart but, unimpressed by its sailing performance, bought a DY instead also without trying one first in As well as shelter and stowage, this offers basic sleeping space. When my retired uncle John bought his DY, he also took the plunge without a trial sail. So what should I buy? I want something that can live on the mud, that I can sail by myself if needed and that is safe enough to pop over to the Isle of Wight when the tides are right.

My uncle once owned an X Boat. I reckoned he would not be happy with anything slow. But he was also a big man � well over 6ft tall and on the heavy side. And replacement hips reduced his agility. So anything too tippy would be difficult to board from a dinghy. My uncle, John Poland, demonstrates the stability of the Devon Yawl as he stows sails after a jolly day afloat. Photo: Peter Poland. When I bought her, she was the only Devon Yawl in the creek. Now there are five.

Getting out to the boat proved more challenging than sailing it. You need a dinghy to row out across the mudflats as the incoming tide covers them and vice versa on the way back. So a small Avon was extracted from the car, inflated with an electric pump, then we rowed across the shallows to the boat. The DY then demonstrated the first of her many qualities. She was bobbing on her mooring under a cockpit cover.
