Building a motor boat is no child's play ..it takes
dedication, eye for details and perseverance. That was what we set out with
when we had in mind our motorboat , the speed factor of Pondy Nautic. This is
what we thought will be for those who crave the need for speed, to feel the
wind in their hair.
We first started with the design, choosing the right type of wood, skeleton of the boat and then the
hull.
Each hull design reacts differently to the sea variables--and even two boats
with the same design may act differently depending on their load and trim.Hence
we ensured optimum care during this period of construction.
And then came into the turning of the hull. Every one who builds a boat upside down is faced with the task of
turning it over at some point. Small, relatively lightweight boats present no
real problems. It took a lot of
man power to carefully turn it. We usually use gantries or other clever
devices to rotate large hulls. The boat was rotated like a large turkey
or roast.
And then we started with the interiors .At
the same time we were building “Lorelei” our catamaran as well as developing
land for the offices of Pondy Nautic.
Finally we
were at the phase of finishing up and painting of the boat.
We will keep you updated as and when our
pretty motorboat is out on the seas.

P:s: we purposely omitted the technicalities
out and kept the blog as lay man and short as possible, just to give you a brief
idea on what’s keeping us busy.
