How Tom West Built A Pirate-Proof Yacht | Popular Science

Page Description:
Tom West has tackled some impressive builds over the years, including telescopes, a sawmill, and his house in Poland, Indiana. But West, a retired teacher, recently completed his swan song: a 30-ton, 56-foot-long sailboat named Faith. The one-mast vessel is longer than a double-decker bus, outfitted with wind turbines, and armored with a hull and cabin doors made from steel to thwart pirates on global voyages. "Everything you see, we did," West says, standing next to the craft in his yard. "This all started out in pieces—the whole damned boat."
