Welcome to my blog, My name is Pete I live in Texas and have over the last couple years taken a interest in building and sailing wooden boats. My current boat is a Pathfinder designed by John Welsford from New Zealand. If you wish to know more about John and his boats Click here. My boat is called the " Flying M" and I know sounds a bit odd, but it like most boat names has a back story that perhaps I will share at another post.


Reason I am starting this post is two fold. Fist, being I am starting a new build for a boat which I can not find an active post on. Second,I hope to hear from others, get some feedback on the build and perhaps expand on my friends in the Houston area that have like interests. I'm always looking for another boat to sail with or another person to crew.

Hard to get good Pics of the boat in action; Here are some taken by others during the Texas 200
