It's not  easy to find a suitable site for building the boat. The rent to be paid seems to be as high as for a normal flat. Some farmer offer barns of 200qm and expect 600 Euro. At the beginning of my search I find suitable building sites only far away from my city. But driving car only for reasons of his hobby is not reasonable for a sailer who loves nature! So I continue with my search and  in the end I find a huge barn not very expensive which I can go to riding  bycicle. 

Buying high-quality wood is not easy too. Even if you have managed  a lot of projects with wood you'll appreciate good pieces of advice.
I decided to call the local merchant by phone and to explain my wishes. I emphasised that the price is not that important an that wanted to get the highest quality! That's absolutely reasonable if you take into account that bad quality means a lot of work, ditching a huge amount of wood due to cracks or knotholes. All about the wood is not the most expensive resource - it is your time! In my case I made a date with the chief purchaser of the merchant. He explained me quality and origin of different trunks of oak, so I was well sustained to decide which trunk I wanted to buy: I decided for a good aok from Alsace and some planks of larch.
If you have problems in finding good wood in your town I would not hesitate to order the wood from places somewhere else. High quality is very important, and  freight charges are normally not very high.
