Hi David...it is a great plan and YES is the short answer...Best if you're really thinking about the Globe 5.80 as part of that dream best to sit down and spend an afternoon reading every page of the website and watch every video ...there is a lot to absorb..all your answers are there....if you follow globe580.blogspot.com/ which is my TREKKA it is built without a kit..entirely buy the plans only and the process is very simple...most will built without a kit.. .Yes you can build it without reference to the Class Rules ( but we strongly advise building it exactly as the plans) and you do not need to meet the 5.80 Class Registration, so you build it just for fun sailing. It is still a good idea though to build and finally register it as a GLOBE 5.80 Class boat, because one day when you sell it, there will be many who would buy it to Race...but maybe less just for sailing...and if it is NOT registered in the beginning, it never can be in the future. Once it is registered then you just go sailing and never race it.. ..just an idea, but the 5.80 is different things to different people and a great little safe ocean going adventure yacht and micro cruiser for fun and adventure, so good luck ...there are some already NOT planning to Race and modifying their own to suit them...all very exciting..

Greetings Don I would like to ask myself 2 questions. The first would be, if this ship would be able to cross Cape Horn? Is it a very small boat for this voyage? I'm thinking of turning around without a common world on 5.80 without stops and on the classic route!
And the second: I am thinking of building the 5.80, but my intention is not to do the official regattas, would it be possible to use other materials when building the boat? that is to say, Ocume marine wood, but perhaps without the certification that guarantees it? Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. WOW! Ok I never say NO to adventure, so with very careful planning and risk mitigation and good preparation!!! Yes I believe the 5.80 design can go around Cape Horn. Certainly TREKKA is going to be a MGR boat able to take on the Cape of Good hope...but if I was doing Cape Horn I would make a few more modifications too. Yoh Aoki a young Japanese guy home built a 21ft Plywood boat and made a circumnavigation in 1974 ...I read about it a few years later and was inspired....he went around Cape Horn and was the smallest ever to circumnavigate via the Horn. He took three years....his basic story and pics of his simple little boat are here...https://www.aoki.us/zen24/histry/47/ In my opinion a voyage like your planning is more about the sailor rather than the boat...But the Globe 5.80 has what it takes if prepared very well. Can it carry enough supplies..maybe JUST?? you need to work that out. The 5.80 will easily carry it's own weight 750kg but after that you start to enter new ground...so you need to do the numbers on what you need to carry and where your going to put it, etc etc etc. Yes you can build with anything you like for a voyage like that but would suggest NOT to make is any weaker...so good luck hey!!

Greetings Doon and thank you. The truth is that I have always been very adventurous, and at first I had thought of doing it with an Oceanic cruise ship, but seeing the possibility of the Globe 5.80 and that it would be possible to build it yourself, I was much more motivated by the idea, what better to build your own boat and go sailing around the world. I have very little experience, but I am not in a hurry and I think that as you say ... with good planning and enthusiasm, it is possible. I know that at least it may take me 4 years to have everything ready, but it is better not to be in a hurry and to be able to prepare everything very well. My intention is to build the boat, and sail as much as I can, get to know it well, do many miles and when I see myself ready, jump on the balloon for a fifth time.
It is very interesting about the Japanese Oaki, the truth is that he was a great adventurer.
Thank you very much for your advice Don You are right, that for a voyage of this magnitude, you have to build a boat as resistant as possible, and as well prepared as possible. because by saving a few euros you can stay on the road. Do this, I will buy the plans, I have iree building it little by little. A siq ue we will talk and I will inform you. Don thank you very much for your quick response, for your sincerity, and your personal opinion. You are doing a very good job. From Spain, greetings and thanks. David.

Has anyone had a CNC kit cut and delivered? I'm about to get mine done and wondered if it all went well ?? Hi yes I have. From Fyne Kits. Kit has been great so far. This week we hope to be gluing side and floor panels on, filling and shaping. Hope to start fibreglassing by the weekend if we can. Kit has worked for us. Any issues we may have have been more around our lack of experience. However we have solved all these so far, and it does look like a boat. The various videos and blogs have been extremely helpful. We definitely would not have progressed as well as we have by building from raw materials. Partly time, partly tool and space availability. I think as a first time builder it removes a lot of the initial slog of making bits. It means you can start constructing almost immediately, helps build the feeling of momentum and confidence. Enjoy your kit! Peter

Took delivery of the CNC kit from Fyne yesterday, really neat on the pallet, all water tight and not the slightest transport damage.
Unpacked it all, got the stringers aswell. Started on frame D. Exciting. I'll get a blog up in a couple weeks.
Does not look so daunting now it's all ready to be put together. Looking forward to try and catch some of you up !!!

Keel floors. The template is explained at minute 14:00. www.classglobe580.com/cnc-full-timber-kit/Probably would have been useful for the templates to include the forward and aft edge lines so that they could be transferred to the timber and bevels cut before installing.

This full CNC timber kit is world class and incredibly detailed. The supplied instructions and video tutorials are self explanitory. Build an accurate 5.80 faster and have all the Quality timber materiels delivered in one hit! The list of skilled Official Kit Agents around the world grows every week. They can also assist build your hull and deck if your interested or need guidance. This kit is already making people happy! What do you think View AttachmentView AttachmentJust to save any confusion there is ONLY ONE OFFICIAL CNC file acepted for Class Globe 5.80 Registration...the reason for this is that it is very easy for any other file not to be exactly on form which was apparent from the first plan buyer who wanted to make their own CNC file. with one official file we know they are all exactly the same. Here is the statement from the CNC KIT PAGE of the Website if you do not have a kit supplier. You bought 5.80 plans and want to cut your kit locally. Can you buy the Official 5.80 CNC file to do that? Not if you have a kit supplier in your county. You must then buy the kit from one of the official agents. No other cutting file is accepted for 5.80 Class Registration.

Hi
I am planning to build a hull in Spain. my partner is a Spanish commercial boat builder with CNC cut equipment.He is willing to help me build.No commercial interests, just one boat! He will be the second crew member in the "double hand" races. Can you consider providing official CNC files? Thank you for answering!
