Hi
I live in Fish Hoek, near Cape Town, South Africe.

I came across a strip built Guillemot rather badly built using local Pine. The boat was extremely heavy but I loved the lines and as the owner still had the strongback he let me have it.

So started my strip building endevours and I am now hooked.

I built my Guillemot out of Merranti, a local South African wood and used Ebox for the white strips.

I am totally sold on my boat and have been in winds of up to 30 knots and of course waves that go with those winds. The stability is incredible so much so that I have sold my 2 glass fibre boats.
