  • Alan MacBride resumes his saga of building Albatross.
  • Annie Hill has her own blog here, and here's one from the days when Annie Hill & Trevor Robertson cruised their 35' steel gaff cutter Iron Bark.
  • Bernard Fercot is building a Tiki 46 with twin wingsails. It's in French, but mostly photos, so the linguistically challenged should be able to get something from it.
