Roanoke Island ,N.C. | NICE!!!! I wish I had those building skills now, much less at 17. How about a little more of the story? Does he have a site up chronicling the build?

France | How about a little more of the story? Does he have a site up chronicling the build? Yes, there is a site where he has all the design, some pictures and a bunch of information on what he did. Click on the video to open it in youtube, the link for it is in the commentary text. Important: the site is in French. You can try google translate but I'm not sure how it will cope. | | | Re: 17yo build his own design A cat. From scratch.

France | He all I’m the builder of this boat. Thanks for these comment, this very nice to read this I’m currently a student and I have much difficulty in English. It’s very important for me to become bilingual and I try to progress before my examination. I wish translate my website for progress in English, so if anyone can help me and explain my faults by mail that will be very cool. Otherwise we can just speak about sailing and english grammar  I don't know what can I send in return maybe technical knowledge, french grammar or just a big smile thanks all my email: [email protected] | | | Re: 17yo build his own design A cat.

Sebring, Florida. | Raphael, have no worries, your English is excellent!
Heck, you already spell better than I do, and my Mom was an English teacher!
Tell you what, you come over here and teach me how to build a boat like that, and I'll teach you how to swear, in English!
Hey, do you like movies about Gladiators?

Even if you did not do the translation (which was pretty good) I sent some notes on it to your email address. Just because your boat is so dang cool looking. Timbo can translate "dang" for you. Hope you pass your exam.

On the Water | Wow. Did you guys check out his website? 7.6 kg kayak, the hovercraft is off the top cool (check the video)and look how little time he takes to build these things. . . and tutorials to boot. I'm impressed.
Thank you for sharing with us Raphael. Now you need to build a glider (soar plane).
