Vimeography Error: a Vimeography gallery with an ID of "233" was not found. Spending Time with Miss T Video Series
Click above to play video teaser.
Miss T is a 29 ft sailboat, designed in 1969. "Spending time with Miss T" is the video project following the boat interior rebuild. The boat is entirely gutted at the moment, and the objective is to rebuild her interior, true to the original 1960's stylish, yet functional manner in which she was once built. The entire project is an utterly irrational affair, driven by a strongly felt passion for small, hopelessly unfashionable sailboats. -
