Are you currently building boats? As a hobby, or just on the side?
I would like to tell you to go for it! If you start today, and look back in 5 months, or 5 years - how many boats would you have built? But if you do nothing, in 5 months / 5 years, you will still just say to yourself "What if I had built boats?" "What would I be doing now?"
I'm not saying quit your job, but definitely test it out, an hour here or there - wake up earlier on the weekend. If you really want it, you have to make it happen for yourself!
It's a hobby... Sadly there is no money to be made in small wooden sailboats as the labor costs are high, and everyone wants new plastic(Fiberglass and rotomolded garbage) because it is no maintenance. Going to start a new 21 foot Norwegian Faering this winter though.
