Boat in one month, on the fifth floor (30 photos)

There are times when you want to go out into nature with a fishing rod, spinning rod, sometimes even with your family. The Desnyanka boat, born in 1992, is even very suitable for this, but due to its low carrying capacity, it is more suitable for spending time intimate with nature. Little by little the boat wore out and rubbed, but it worked. And then one day, at the beginning of October 2006 from the Nativity of Our Lord, being in the middle of the Dnieper, I see how my boat begins to curl up under me, and the extraneous sounds made by the boat do not at all inspire confidence that I will get to the shore dry.

Having finally reached the shore, almost dry and charged with adrenaline, I firmly decided to put the boat in order, but upon closer examination it turned out:

1. Repair is not quick and does not guarantee safety in the future (more than 30% of the surface was either already leaking or was about to let out air)

2. Even restored, the boat could not meet the needs of a family (4 people) for boat trips, and such a need arises more and more often.

3. Installing a motor on it is possible, but does not guarantee safety (I do not enjoy rowing, especially against the current).

4. Other essential and non-essential little things.

The conclusion that I made for myself (with the help of my wife) is that we need to change the boat!

In the continuation we look at the step-by-step process of creating a boat, launching it into the water and the joy of the creator
