When we first began building Banyandah in 1970, finding good ideas and ways to do boatie things was more difficult than actually doing the work. If we could see it, we could build it.
A lot of miles have slipped past since launching Banyandah in 1973, and we have honed our skills building vessels for others as well as rebuilding our own vessel from a bare hull.

The best features of Banyandah by Jude Binder with 40 years of experience finishing and maintaining vessels. She is also an accomplished sailor with 150,000 miles under sail, so she knows what stands the test of time.
Living afloat continuously for sixteen years, raising and educating her two sons while they sailed to over eighty countries, she learnt how to organize, victual, and manage small ships.
Simple ways to stop rattles and clunks, seal hatches, keep out midges, plus a homemade Lavac that never clogs & sun awning and rain catcher that easily stows.
Hints and ideas for every part of your vessel.

Fine comment sir as the boat the lad just bought can sail anywhere ones wishes to go!
You have made a wise investment Steve. Both in buying our Practical book and in your buying a modest vessel to try your “wings.” If ever you have a question, email us, we’ll be pleased to assist all we can. Cheers, J&J
Hello there.
I’m pretty new to sailing, having only crewed a bit before on a 30-footer. I’ve now gone mad and bought a 22-footer (Kestrel 22 from around 1972…ish). I’m living aboard through the start of an English winter, and loving it. Mind you, I haven’t yet actually ventured out of the marina where she was delivered for me…
I’m hoping your book will give me some really useful tips on making and mending, of which there’s quite a lot to be done around here! <:^)
