Gives out the plans for free (m.youtube.com) submitted 3 months ago by Nickelalloy@lemmy.world to c/solarpunk@slrpnk.net 78 comments fedilink hide all child comments So i thought this fits here, he calls the boat Helios 11 and builds it with very little experience. He docunents the adventure quite well and shares what he learns, and also shares all the plans for the boat for free.
