To continue our series on different ways to get out voyaging, here is a link to an interesting site about the build of a near sister ship to Hamish & Kate Laird’s Seal, one of the most interesting aluminum boats we have ever seen.
The builders are a young couple with very young children who plan to build a boat and go voyaging rather than focusing on the more conventional purchase at their point in life: a house. Judging from the engine and winches they have selected, they are being careful with money too.
Good on ‘em, we say.

Hi John
It’s interesting looking at aluminium boat builds. I’m not sure if this is the right article to ask this question but I’m wondering if you have any thoughts on a small cruising boat design called a Kiribati 36 by B&G yacht designs? Are you familiar with it? I’ve only been able to find two examples of a build and would be interested to learn more or hear some opinions.

Hi Alex,
Took a quick glance at it. Looks like a nice boat and hull form, however I would prefer a less vulnerable single rudder like the Boreals.
Have you been in contact with B&G Yacht Designs by any chance? Looks interesting to me too.
