      Hi Daryl.

      We used chemlag copper tube for the gas pipes. We have worked with the local gasfitter from the start. He provided the tubing for me to rough in as we were building. He lent me a copy of the revelant standard document so that I knew what was required. When I had all the pipes ready, they came out and crimped all the fittings onto the pipes. Once all the appliances are installed, they will be back to certify.

      All water pipes are the whale plastic tubing. I have used insulation over the hot pipes.

      Where are you up to with your Sarah?

   SeeBeeZee, just want to say thank you for the website. I have been following your build for a while, I am about to start my own Sarah in Cairns, QLD. Frames are cut for the first hull, finishing touches on my building shed are happening slowed a little by the wet season. Very hot up here at the moment making long productive days bloody hard work. The pictures you have taken along the way are fantastic. Its always great to compare my plans with your constructions shots and get my head around some the concepts. Thanks again and good luck for launch day.

   I live in the US (Kentucky) and I am wanting to build a Sarah. I have tried contacting Peter Snell several times to get info on the plans but have had no emails returned. It seems as though a lot of info on people building these boats is available from 2010 to 2013, and then it just seems to drop off. Would you know how I could get in touch with them? Also, how has your budget thus far been matching to the actual build and what kind of dollar endpoint do you anticipate coming to? I have really enjoyed your site.

   Thanks so much, Darren

   Hi Chris, Thanks for choosing to document your build with a wonderful blog. I am building Sarah No. 38 in Sydney, began slowly 12 months ago without a shed. Now all frames are done ready to assemble first hull. Can you tell me where your chainplates are located, plans seem a little hazy on this detail. Cheers Ian.
