That is great,back in the sixties when I worked at the local dealership the panelbeater/detailer built a sand yacht and we spent all day at the Old Bar aerodrome running back and forth,worst case of sunburn I have ever had,from memory we didn't even stop for lunch. His next claim to fame was building a trailer sailer in the lounge room of the house he was renting and then found it wouldn't fit through the door,he had to remove the door jambs to get it out.
