How to Build the Haven 12 1/2-footer

Customs took forever, but it was worth the wait!

A dream delayed too long.

If I had had the forethought years ago when it was still a possibility this boat would have been the love of my life, and possibly opened a new way of life, a vocation rather than a avocation. I’ve always loved sailboats from afar yet even spending every summer as a youngster at the shore and later on the Maine coast, my love never went further than a romance from afar. Now viewing White’s interpretation being built on u-tube my heart aches over my lack of spirit and curiosity. She is the most beautiful thing a man ( or women) could make and then take off on the waters, ah joy !

Book was OK. Lots of dark black and white photos. It’s Purpose was to help me repair a Haven 12 1/2. It was good for letting me know the sequence of build, fasteners and their locations.
