Building SHÉ:KON: Our DIY Boat Journey

Welcome to Rick and Lori’s Building SHÉ:KON channel! Join us as we transform our retirement dream into reality—building a 31-1/2' Down East-style diesel trawler from scratch in our backyard.

This isn't just a boat build; it's a story of passion, perseverance, and adventure. Watch as we navigate challenges and celebrate milestones, turning SHÉ:KON into a floating reality. Our dream? To explore Northeast North America's stunning waterways, tackle the Great Loop, visit the Bahamas, and maybe even journey to the Pacific Northwest.

Follow our progress, learn from our experiences, and discover how to kickstart your own DIY dreams.

Let’s go cruising together—subscribe and join the adventure!

Yours Aye!
