Book excerpt: In 2014 Matt Cerbin began to fulfill a dream by building a yacht in his mother's backyard located in Boulder City, NV. This may not seem to be the ideal location for building an ocean going boat but he had to do it where he could. Over the next six years he worked on the boat. He read several books, talked to several experts, and watched a lot of online videos. By the summer 2020 the project was ready to be moved to the ocean for final construction. He had the boat moved to San Diego because that's where the engine dealer and steering system dealer were located. It took 4 months to get the boat finished and seaworthy. The boat is now completed and sitting in her slip in Mission Bay. Matt took hundreds of photos during construction. This book uses many of those photos to document the build. Matt's goal with this book isn't to teach the reader how to build a boat but rather to show how he built his, the lessons he learned during the process, and hopefully entertain the reader who has an interest in boat building or the Diesel Duck line of trawler yachts.
