Build your Boat

TLYC Boat Building Event
Joe Hagedorn of the Taal Lake Yacht Club organised another great event: The Family Boatbuilding Weekend.
I was there for only a few hours and only noticed contended people. Families were busy building their own sloops and kanoes. They used simple woodworking tools to assemble complete boats. Saws, hammers, grinders, nails, wood, marine epoxy and creativity were the ingredients.

While the families were creating their homemade yachts, others were enjoying their homemade yachts:

  • The GK Louise, a cruiser catamaran with stainless steel gear

  • The pirate yacht owned by Renato

  • The Korvus designed, created and sailed by fellow Belgian, Benjamin

    • It’s amazing how many people do not know about the well-maintained yachtclub at one of the Philippines best sailing locations. Since it’s only a 15 minute drive from Tagaytay City it is a highly recommended rest and recreation place. Their website has the detailed driving directions and affordable sailing rates. Taal Lake Yacht Club is highly recommended.
