Hey, you got a typo the

6. You can't build a 18'+ wherry in a shop 19' long.

Fixed it for you.

I've not seen anyone (who wasn't working in a boatyard) who ever built
a boat that was small enough to fit in their working space. It seems
obligatory that it will be either too long to fit in, or too tall. If
you goof and make it just a bit too short, you can compensate by
requiring a mast that's too tall to lay down instead. *I once worked
in a workshop, some sort of Nissen hut, that had been carefully
extended at one end with a little bay window. All because of a
bowsprit issue, a few years earlier.

Then your home shipyard must be behind at least one fence that won't
let the boat past, ideally with a tight corner between two buildings
that it won't fit thorugh either. *One of my neighbours built a fence
to screen his boat, using solid concrete posts and cleverly a couple
of light wooden posts in the middle that *could be easily removed when
the time came. He planted some shrubs to make it look nice too - which
by the time the much-delayed *boat *was ready, had grown into mighty
redwoods with more timber in them than the hull.

How did Gibbs get the boat out of his basement?
