Synopsis

This is volume II of the 10 episode series of The Big Sailboat Project.
Now the hull is closed in, the girls embark on what is the more difficult part of building a 45 foot steel cutter. This is when most builders give up after realizing the colossal amount of work that still remains. Sandy & Gena push on with an almost obsessive drive to bring the launch day closer and closer.

Interior woodwork, plumming, wiring, steering, instrumentation, painting, and custom deck fittings, are all on the menu for this unforgettable feast of determination and desire.

Innovative and inventive solutions to problems that arise, demonstrates how a little imagination with "learn-as-you-go" know-how, along with a positive attitude, can defeat just about any challenge boat-building can offer.

10 years of devoted weekends and forfeited holidays pays off with an early retirement aboard SV "Dulcie-Darlene", a tough, yet graceful cruiser that can sail anywhere in the world!
Follow them in episodes 6 through 10 for an emotional, exciting, sometimes frustrating and comedic voyage from the plains of Alberta Canada to the entrance to the Pacific ocean.

"The first time out, when those sails filled and she heeled over... it was the most exhilarating experience one could imagine!...like a dream!"

Each episode is 22 minutes, but final episode 10 is 52 minutes.
