Welcome: I'm Roger Hughes, a writer for international boating magazines.

This site is a treasure trove of articles for the do-it-yourself boat owner or ideas to discuss with a contractor. There are nearly 100 published articles about boat projects or repairs, from splicing rope to making a remote controlled model sailboat, and even a children's bedtime story. I did many of the projects on my own boat, a brigantine schooner called Britannia, so I can speak from experience... They have all been published in boating magazines in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

More than 60 detailed and instructive project articles are offered at a special introductory price for only $10 each, along with 30 that can be read free. If you see something in the gallery of articles about a project you want to undertake you can read the extract before purchasing the article. When you buy an article you can contact me if you have a problem with it.

Enjoy the site, and you never know, you might see something you could do to your boat. New articles are added as they become published, so please keep in touch,

Sincerely: ROGER.                        December 2024

Here are nearly 100 detailed projects you can do yourself, or have someone do for you. They vary from changing a ketch into a schooner, through complete cabin remodeling, to making simple bug screens for your portlights. Even if you are not a do-it-yourselfer you will get inspiration from seeing what can be done to improve your boat, whether sail and power.
