Good luck with the work.

In the not-too-distant future, ie when I have my ducks in a row.

As for the video, I doubt it.  Not only is it not a medium with which I empathise, but I don't see how it could be any more informative than a full series of normal photos.  But most of all, when we are busy building, we won't have time to wander around taking movies!  Cost doesn't come into it in ,my case: I have no idea what it would cost, but once you've accepted sponsorship in any shape or form you are effectively compromised.

Ah!  I see David feels slightly differently.  Yet another subject for lively debate!

Neither Annie nor I have experience of making high quality movies, and I've seen enough excruciating youtube movies with amateurs talking to camera to want to stay away from that business. The expertise would have to come in from outside. However, my camera will take good quality movies, and I could perhaps wander around the boat at intervals, after work, pointing it at all the details, and then perhaps adding explanatory subtitles later. Like Annie, though, I'd be more comfortable with making a captioned series of still photos.

Henry,

The answer to your first question is "soon". Whether we can video the construction is a harder question to address. We'll give it some consideration.

So could the model of Siblim be considered a SibLimulator ??

Floosie looks kind of cute - does she like sailing and rugged sailor types? Bugger, I just remembered I am happily married.

Siblim also looks great, and she will probably be less troublesome than a Floosie like Floosie. Just a suggestion about the treatment of the traffrail, and the design team may have already thought of this. If I was, or do build the boat, the top of the traffrail would have a fairly pronounced curve being higher in the middle, and the lower edge should have just a slight upward curve to the middle which will merge with the sheerline and improve the overall looks of the boat, in my opinion at least.
