The Year
of the Boat - By Lawrence W. Cheek. A great read. Chapter 13
features this boat project.
It began as a project to build a wooden sailboat in a suburban garage within
a self-imposed deadline of one year. But difficulties—both technical and
emotional—made a shambles of the deadline, and Lawrence Cheek’s project to
build a boat became an inquiry into the nature of beauty, a struggle with
obsession and perfectionism, and finally a question of character. The
Year of the Boat is the
story of how one man built a boat in spite of himself.
