Doug has spent over 10 years building a 73ft steel hulled sailing vessel from scratch, to be donated for research use by students. He literally bought steel plates and welded it into a frame. The vessel launched mid last year and the channel follows just about every aspect of its construction. Doug learns and builds just about every component, from its desalination system, casting his own propellers, and just about everything else.
I'm a very mechanically inclined individual, and figured this out when I was about 8 years old. I spend multiple hours a week watching all sorts of DIY content on youtube and have pretty much learned how to fix just about anything. Doug is a huge hero in my book, and I wonder if I'll end up like him one day.
