Paint it in polyurethane and you can probably leave tied out about as
well, too. Brad can tell us how it takes to build one.


Hi Eric,

Building the Apis was actually a lot of fun, with good instructions,
and advice from Robert Mudd I was able to complete the build process
in under 150 hours. The gel-coat (prestec) took considerably longer!

The latest project on my 13m Apis is putting an engine in it.

After building 2 Russias and an Apis I'd like to tackle a design of my
own based on these 2 ships. Any one interested????......)

Cheers,
Brad
