In time, I hope these difficulties will be overcome, because a kit version of the little boat could make her even more popular with amateur builders. The Beginning I commenced building my Paradox early in August, 2005 and within a month I finished the deck beams, cabin beams and hatch beams; I also made the rudder, stock and tiller. During the winter I hibernated, and when spring of 2006 arrived I continued building. I took July and August off and resumed building in September. By early June 2007 the boat was finished and ready for her sea trials.   See the Galleries for more information. Because my garage is only 8' 4" wide I had little room in which to build the boat; therefore I made all the small items before assembling the hull. Copyright 2007 Small Sailboats.
