The Plan

To build J Benford’s 34’ sailing Dory ‘Badger’ for myself and Charlotte to sail the high seas on.

Our current boat Maureen was built in 1926 and has (still is) served us well over the past 8 years. She is beautiful and a joy to sail but due to her age and size she dose not have the ability to take us everywhere we would like to go. So, it was decided, to build a new boat with the reason that we would get a much better boat for the for the money compared to buying a secondhand one. I am building on my own in a s derelict shed next to my existing workshop so overhead costs are low.

The ‘Badger’ has long been a boat of interest to us (thanks Annie Hill!). When looking at the construction plans in detail with a view to build I became convinced. It looked like it should be fast and economical to construct and so far has proved to be so. I plan to do everything myself from casting the keel to sewing the sails.........
