Boatbuilding, like any worthy endeavour, takes time. And, as anyone who has built a boat will know, it usually takes longer than expected.
But this 12m (39-foot) Kevin Dibley-designed canting keeler has taken longer than most, with 30 years elapsing from the lines going on the plan to her bright-orange hull hitting the water in late 2023. And, again like many boatbuilding projects, this is not the end - rather, it’s another step on the journey which will keep her owners, Derek and Janine Grul, happily occupied for a few more years to come.
