Boatbuilding Blog

I’m building a boat in my back yard. It’s a Godzilla 25 mini-tug designed by Sam Devlin.

• Length 24′-8″
• Beam 9′-0″
• Draft 2′-9″
• Displacement 5800 lbs.

The construction technique is stitch-and-glue plywood. I started the project in late 2006 and I’m hoping for a launch by 4th of July 2008 - about 18 months.  (Updated May 20, 2008 - changed the links above to point to Sam’s new site, and my new estimated time of completion to early Spring 2009. It’s just a little more work than I had planned :-))
