In this episode, Bela Musits has a conversation with David Neilson, a lifelong sailor who together with his wife, is building a 12 meter catamaran from a kit.  They have been building an Arrow 1201 for the past three years.  They are on the home stretch and plan to have her launched this early summer.  We had a great conversation about the build process, its challenges, and their plans for sailing  her from New England to the Bahamas.
