Many years ago, I had a chance to take some sailing lessons and was able to use the boats from the university's outing club. Since then, I've always wanted my own boat. After looking at the possibilities, I decided that building a Northeaster Dory from a kit was my best chance. Not only could I sail it, but I could row it with either a fixed seat or sliding seat. Building it is only the first challenge; then I'll need to learn sculling and re-learn sailing.
