Lots of folks build boats and ships in their retirement, but this one's a little different.  :o

Yeah, I hope he gets it completed too....along the way, from what the interview said, he better think on taking some basic seamanship/navigation courses too...won't do to get it out and then not know how to get where you want to go.  I'd say that ones going to be a real beauty by the time he's done, he's pretty meticulous from what they showed on the clip.
