build it your self

   wouldnt it be good if y&y did some research into building your own boat like a cherub and did an article on the website or over a few issues in the mag on how to build it and the costs. what do you all think?

	Sounds like a really good idea because as well as covering how to build a boat, it would also cover how to repair boats by covering the basics of construction techniques. The Cherub class already have some really good articles on their site but it would be good to see this sort of thing in Y&Y too.

	i have seen the tips on the cherub site but i feel y&y with their skills could come up with a more detailed article. not only would it promote classes that you do it for but it would help get good sailors on a low budget into newer boats

	A certain rival dinghy sailing magazine has run a number of similar features including a 3 part foam-sandwich national 12 feature written by Mike Cooke of Aardvark fame. I personaly found it extremely interesting and although im no longer a subscriber of said magazine, its those features which I miss in Y&Y

	I think it would be more interesting if it wasn't just the hull that was covered in an article. I would like to see subjects like - how to build hydrofoils e.t.c in a detailed article. It's the sort of thing that many people are thinking about but don't really want to cough up £2000 for the pleasure of a little experimentation and fun. I am sure Full Force Boats could help out with the copy and gain quite a bit of exposure in the process with those that want to be competitive in the Moth fleet. Edited by Jack Sparrow

	Rodney Pattison did a fantastic article about 20 years ago called 'Supercharging' (I still have a photocopy of it) which was about bringing an older dinghy (FD in this case) up to speed. It was especialy helpful to have someone of his calibre saying what was worth spending either time or money on. I guess today the piece would be written by a boatbuilder and I don't think it would have the same appeal but it would still be interesting.

	im sure iv got a book on boat tuning by him and he mentions supercharging alot. any way. it would be a good idea for a wider variety than just hulls. but i think it would be good to see how a home built boat should be.

	Hardest part is always getting started - once you have basic principles down you can make anything with a bit of creativity! Ask some builders for some advice, most I know are pretty helpfull when getting started, even better if you are buying bits from them aswell to help grease the wheels (no thats not a shameless plug.) Nice to think the Aardvark thing is almost fame...
