Bruno, one of the 3 major builders in Builders of the Pacific Coast, is getting ready to launch his Ola Suerte, a junk-rigged steel sailboat he has been working on for 22 years. (He built it from scratch.) Our mutual friend Godfrey Stephens will be there at the launching, and we’ll have photos of the occasion.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:

Awesome can't wait to see more pics!
At least it's not in his basement. (NCIS) It looks great!
What a good day that will be, after 22 years! Interesting bowsprit, roomy enough for two feet side by side, instead of 'the lunge'.Looking forward to launch photos!
That's awesome I wish I could be there to see it. I'm living in 300 sq ft now and plan on living half the year on a sail boat and the other half in a semi off grid space. I have been greatly influenced by you and your books especially this one.
