Another Lion 550 hits the water!
Today, this boat was successfully launched. I had previously shared some photos from the construction process — now I’m posting a few shots of the finished boat.
It was built by an enthusiast with no prior boatbuilding experience. The Lion 550 is designed exactly for that — with plywood, epoxy, a basic set of tools, and a bit of patience. Everything fits together like a big 3D puzzle: all parts are pre-cut, and you just need to assemble them.
A great example that building your own real sailboat is absolutely possible!
Congrats to the new owner and their sailing companion!
