Thinking outside the box

Ok.. I finally got some sort of feedback on how much a 60 - 75ft Caravel would cost; ~$10,000 per FOOT. All kinds of time.. 6 - 10 experienced shipwrights..

WAY TOO MUCH to deal with!

So, a new decision! I am designing my own ship, with my own dimensions, and I will build it myself with the help of 1 shipwright, family, and friends. I found a lumber supplier online for hardwood with decent prices that I can order the wood from. Now I just need to find a place to order the rigging, sails, and other essentials from. I also need to find a shipwright who would be willing to help me build my ship at a reasonable price.

When you really want something and money gets in the way.. you gotta start thinking OUTSIDE THE BOX! I will find a way to make this work! I am not giving up on this dream! I know that I could spark the dreams of so many others if I can just get my own dream out on the ocean waters~

So I'm not going to stop pushing forward even when I finally do get out there~
