I see in the race regulations that there is a sponsorship restriction of about 5500 euros and you must be open about any financial support on your blog. I wish I had that support but I am totally self financed as of this moment. I have a link on my blog to a boatyard/ yacht broker in the Netherlands that has given me no financial support and not asked me to advertise them. They gave me fantastic service and a lot of help when I was in the Netherlands so I an hoping that they can get some support from my followers. They went over and beyond to help us to sell our cruiser from which the proceeds are going to pay for this new adventure.
hello, Nice Project ! I am writing from north of Portugal and thinking to build one. Where you buy plywood and epoxy and material? thks Nuno

DeletePlywood you can get from many building material places. You just need to get good quality waterproof ply. The pine wood for the stringers is easy to get. You can use pine floorboards that are available at many building supply places.
I bought my epoxy and glass fibre and fillers for making glue and fairing mixture from www.rebelco.pt they were very helpful. I bought my plywood from Spain as I couldnt find good quality plywood on Faial.
I am really enjoying building the boat and wish you good luck.
