    Started my build blog of a 5m Setka Transatlantic sailboat, in English

    Hi Everyone, I have started the build blog of my 5m Janusz Maderski designed Setka A, A boat that has done 16 transatlantic crossings in the Setka Atlantic Challenge, a competition from Portugal to Canary Islands to Martinique. A solo transat race - there was also a 2 crew option but that has been dropped and it is now a SOLO only race. The next race starts in 2025, My boat is being constructed in the Azores Islands Portugal, and is aiming to be a cost effective simple boat build.

    please take a look at
    Setka A Cagarro
    https://setkacagarro.blogspot.com/
    Setka A, Setka, setka atlantic challenge, Setką przez Atlantyk, Maderski, Setką , Spa, SAC, transatlantic race, singlehanded, small boat, epoxy ply


    I hope you will visit and also leave comments here or on the blog, If there is enough interest I will also post updates here on the forum - lets have a dialogue - the only thing better than building and sailing boats is talking about them

    have an excellent day
    regards
    Nath

      The building plans are in Polish but have English translations on the plans, the Designer Janusz Maderski answers emails in English and is very helpful.

          Temperature has dropped so got the heater running in the shop, epoxy needs it warm

                  Thank you for posting a reply on the thread, I will keep the thread going, maybe posting some pics here as well, the blog will be updated daily, at the moment there are a lot of the same things happening, one frame looks like another frame, luckily there are only six frames, then it will get interesting, I am going to be making all the hatches, all the rigging is going to be dyneema D-F20, a dyneema type with no creep, through low friction rings, sails will be hanked on with dyneema soft shackles, so it should get really interesting and have lots of opportunity for constructive chats and crticism

                      It should be a very interesting vessel.
                      I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.

                                      We have grandparents from Pico and Sao Jorge. The Setka is one of my favorite small boats.

                                      This will be fun to watch. Keep grinding!

                                              Cool Do you know which village - all three of our group of islands Pico, So Jorge and Faial are all very different in feel - even though they are in sight of each other, I havent visited any of the other six islands much, some I have never visited

                                                  That's a great video and great interview - really interesting to see this boat in action and to hear about its capabilities from this young guy.

                                                  As an aside, I've been following Johan who is doing the interview, along with his wife and young daughter from "RAN sailing", as they start a new build of their own and these guys are really enjoyable and pleasant to follow. No pretences or "click bait" just a really nice young family living the dream and Johan, as a carpenter, shows what it means to do everything properly and precisely from the start.
