Izivunguvungu Sailing School is building the first BlueEyes-20 as a project to train young South Africans in the skills and disciplines of building a boat from scratch.

Many thanks to Mike Mollatt for supplying the photos.

The first photo shows Mike Mollatt examining the frames drawing with 4 of the boys (aged 15 to 17) who will be involved with the building project.

In this photo Mark Algra and the boys show the first results of their handiwork - the midship building frame is cut out.

Now several of the frames are cut.

All the frames except the transom are now in place.

The boys are introduced to epoxy resin - they glue up the apron.
