: Well, that boat was originally built in the attic. Then the
: following spring I built a Black Pearl there as well and the
: Pearl measured 18 '4". The windows are two small - plus
: they are about 25 feet off the ground.

: There is a full set of stairs in middle of the attic - you will
: often see the temporary rails in pictures. The rails are always
: right at midships. The boat can turn, cross ways across the
: attic and then right down the stairs and out the front window of
: the house. See attached image:

: Followed by the Disko Bay:

: Have a look at the "birth" of the Pearl in this entry:

: Hope this dispels the mystery of the "attic" boat shed!!!

Looks like a really good reason to build the boats super light :)

Mine go out a window too, but it's on grade, the bottom of the window is perhaps 3 inches about the grass in the yard.
