Hi Vincent, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing you build and in such detail. I'll be building my own tender this Winter and I'm certain I'll be coming back to your blog many times along the way!

Great job, best documenting of the building process I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing your passion with the world. Happy sailing!

Thanks for taking time to set out all the steps involved, Vincent. I am building an Oughtred Gannet, in Adelaiaiaide, South Australia, similar to the Ilur and am painting the hull at the moment. I note your blog on the Ilur, too. Shortly I will turn the boat over and start inside and will refer to your images and notes as well as the plans and manual. Thanks again.

Hi Vincent,

Your Auklet Dinghy looks absolutely fantastic. I am writing on behalf of my brother, who has been looking for drawings / instructions for building such dinghy for some time before coming across your fb post.

Are there blueprints available from you or anywhere else.

We would greatly appreciate your advice!

Cheers!
