Ship design companies contacted~

Ok! I've made it to the next step! I have just contacted a few ship design companies to ask for some advice on my designs and to see if they are sound enough to actually build. I am only in the very beginning stages of this, so it'll still be some time before I actually move on from here.

I have merely told them of my purpose and my ideas so as to ask for their advice. They may even say that they can't help me, so I will have to be patient until I hear back from them. One company in particular looked promising as their website even advertised "old-fashioned" yacht designing and the pictures of their ships were beautiful and quite close to what I was looking at before deciding to design my own.

I hope that they will e-mail me back soon with advice or even ask me to e-mail them my designs! If I can get blueprints drawn up before I even get back to the states, that would be AWESOME! I even mentioned that I am looking for a shipyard where I would be allowed to help in the building and construction of my ship, so maybe they will be able to give me some info on that as well~^^

Here I go... no turning back now... it's either invest & buckle down to doing some major work.. or drop it & move on........

& I REFUSE TO BACK DOWN!!! I am not about to give up on this dream! For once I have a totally feasible dream that will fulfill my every desire! Who in their right mind would give up something like that? Yes.... it'll cost me a lot of money to get started, but in the end it will be completely worth it! An investment that I know I can have returned to me almost ten-fold or more! So this is it.... Time to invest! ;)
