Great work! I'm a lifelong sailor and a PhD in engineering, your build and design is not only bulletproof, but both of your craftsmanship is outstanding. I greatly admire your craftsmanship and how the two of you work together.
I feel ya, Sister. Drilling that hole. The more effort you put into a piece, the higher the cost of failure. You did not fail. Absolutely marvelous!! Good for you.
Pleasure watching you're series. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful design. Great pick. A handy tool you might like is a battery powered leaf blower for blowing the sawdust off your work. And a small shop vac with a very long hose works wonders, too. Forgive my suggestions and carry on. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain your choices.
Ha well interesting you say! Matt got a cordless blower for his birthday and it’s our favourite tool around the shop! It just hasn’t been filmed yet In action
Obviously people are saying that you are wrong. I and my brother spent 20 years building a 52 f ketch, launched it in 2005. We still have it and sail whenever we can. What we learned that there is 1000 ways to build and solve issues and all of them are right
This is a true work of art. The beauty of handmaking something is that the result will be totally unique, with your own superb workmanship emphasising its quality..............but you'll always get critics who have never made anything worthwhile themselves but think they know better!
Critics are not only critics who have never made anything worthwhile. Criticism is necessary to make things better and I think that is the positive aim of most people who critisize. For instance: the rudder of this boat will function, but to the standard of current knowledge; it would work more efficient, when shaped in a different form. At least, in my informed opinion(I made many things worthwhile I believe). Now is the moment to do something about it. When the boat is in the water and sailing it may take a while before you get to it and change things. It's important on a sailingboat to be able to stay on course, also in bad/heavy conditions. It could be life-threatening when this becomes a problem and an irritating inconvienence also. That's what critisizm is about: trying to improve things and improve people, gain new knowledge and insight and try to help each other to prevent mishap and create better quality. And, in my view, everybody can go his/her own way. Even critics.
Thank you so much for that feedback! It's been a process to learn how to edit and I'm happy you like the way we are currently doing it. Lots and lots more to learn obviously but thanks so much for the nice comment!
@4:25 film time, though I find your kickass team work entirely eyepipping cool, never the less my wondering eye fills with the VW camper below..since I was enthralled with early Westfaluas as a kid & on into my 3rd one as recently as 20 years ago..which crazy enough feels like only yesterday...wondering whats in store for that one sitting pretty . I was enchanted with the film footage as you two throughly purroused & minded the drill press work to cut in the sunk drain...both of you carry yourselves with such cool demeanor..i see your devotion to the build, one another, the camera position, lighting,music...its a full on Emmy award level art project! Matt must of got some actung work behind him..his moves, facial expressions, posture..blinking eyes..on and on..as much charisma as we will eventually see in Tarkin herself as she plops into her watery world one day soon❤ Another quality I big time admire is Iska ( or do you intentionally lower case your 'I' in your beautiful name? Its so solid how you iska, are so equally totally involved, and I love when you sqrutinize Matts work, honestly forthrightly disagreeing or adfing your sude of the question or task at hand..you are a beautiful example for girls & women to see past all the bull crap of centurys laying on disregard & negative vibes..both of you are my champs🎐sincerely Canyon
I know Paul's brother Ben here in Victoria Canada. He runs a great couple of marine shops here and is a very smart and honest guy. I repair boats too. One of Paul's sailboats, Rain Bear is for sale here. I was on her but I can't remember what did. She is beautiful, as yours shall be. If you need anything from BC, I have great contacts. A lot of traditional boats and suppliers around here. That said, Dyneema rigging is a game changer, and can be worked traditionally.
@@Building_a_Boat_by_the_River two forty degree diagonals first the horizonal last, could send pic if you like 🤔 mmm no I don't have your email, anyway the build finish would do a cabinet builder proud. She is a 29` 5" double ender with a voyage from Sydney to Lakes Entranceunder under her belt.
I'm a bit worried by the increasing number of hangman's nooses that are constantly appearing over Matt's head as he gives the half dovetailer a little nudge overboard. Do hope Iska is not planning to turn the channel into a thriller rather than a boat build! Great to see the boat growing as you both work so hard at it. Please keep the videos coming, with or without a hangman's noose.
Mayor undertake you guys, keep up the great team work and amazing craftsmanship! Splash day is start to show in the horizon!! Congratulations from Miami,Florida 💪🏻
It is wonderful, watching a boat come together in Tasmania and you both work together so well About 40 years ago, I built a 12‘6“ sailing dinghy using all Tasmanian timbers Are used celery top pine for the keel and stem , King Billy for the transom and thwarts and Huon for the carvel planking. I manage to get all the material I needed from an old Huon piner who was around 80 years old. He had shared loads of the most amazing material. He didn’t have a telephone, so the only way of contacting him was to go onto his property and look for him. The boat was finished bright, and I only got to sale her once, as someone made me an offer, I couldn’t refuse…..
Looks like you’re having a beautiful spring season there,hope you’re enjoying it.The boat work is impressive to say the least,the design should result in a very light yet stiff hull,efficient and hopefully fast and dry,easier to maintain.Thanks for sharing.
Nice to finally get to see the deck beams installed and the aft deck fitted on Tarkine If your following boat plans that have been approved by the boat builder, I'm quite sure your in good hands. LOL It's like that old saying, " There are many ways to skin a cat!" just like there are many ways to build boat. And many ways to build a House. And many ways to build a Car or basically any other thing you build. I was a welder fitter throughout my life I've seen things built many differways not everything is built like a cookie cutter. As long as you stick to common sense You'll be fine, so far with what I've seen with this build there's been plenty of commonsense. Well not always with you Matt but you get my drift. The boat looks like its in good hands. LOL
Hey guys, another great video of building a beautiful boat the way you want it. Really loved the way you dealt with some of the not so nice comments. As always,, de beste stuurlui staan aan wal. Keep up the good work, you two are awesome.
I think a couple bow ties in the cracks of that sink would provide good insurance to prevent the cracks from spreading and would have looked really good as well.
That pine sink is awesome! It is so different then the plastic or stainless ones. It gives the boat some character.👍Planning on making a wooden sink for the galley?
I assume you are doing this the way you believe it should be done. You certainly sound like you know what you want and how to do it! Push on Lad. Old Navy Sailor Charley
Don't spend your time even considering a person who is being critical of your work unless they're willing to show their degrees, the boat or boats they've built, etc. You obviously have a proper set of plans that are exact and there's plenty of these boats on the water currently. You're doing a great job and I think that the final results will show the amount of effort you have put into every little piece of your wonderful vessel
I’ve worn crocs since the day they turned up in WA I had a spar in my heal and they were so comfortable to wear and I’ve worn them ever since as soon as the tread wears down they get tossed to bin and on comes a new pair
New to your channel and love it. I’m curious about the big wooden boat in the background. Has a nice hill shape? What’s the story with her? A quick interlude about her in one of your videos might be interesting.
Hey there and welcome! Yes we often get the question about our neighbour boat. She’s called Ninie, an old racer that our landlord saved from the chainsaw. She’s sitting and waiting for a caring custodian to bring her back! But yes I think we are due for a interlude session on her
Excellent work on the boat and on the video! The videos are getting better with each release. For those still worried about not dovetailing the deck beams, the horizontal strength that would be provided in 5-10 cm wide dovetails is instead provided by the ~80 cm wide fiberglass reinforced epoxy joint between the decking and the planking on the side of the boat. They will be fine. Maybe I missed it, but how have you stabilized the crack in the sink?
Great advice butntheres a 7th thing you can do now... 7 change to diesel... Im a live aboard and the first thing i did was ditch the LPG (propane) systems and switch to electric. Not because im wise or thought about it but whileninwas shopping fornthe right sail boat there was half a dozen different boat thelat blew up around here for various reasons. Half were from petrolium and half from LPG and 1 from a single aerosol can of degreaser the owner had used and ventrled the boat for a few hrs before starting the engine (vapour was traped in the bilges). Ive also replaced all the diesel lines in the boat, including the filler and retrofitting external vents fornthe diesel tanks that the factory had venting in the engine room
please wear your eye protection ALL the time in the workshop as cutting ,grinding ,drilling and hammering can send flying material into eyes and blind you .please.
Great work! I'm a lifelong sailor and a PhD in engineering, your build and design is not only bulletproof, but both of your craftsmanship is outstanding. I greatly admire your craftsmanship and how the two of you work together.
Well that’s really reassuring to hear! Thankyou
You guys have a nack of calmly and beautifully telling your story. Keep living this good life.
I feel ya, Sister. Drilling that hole. The more effort you put into a piece, the higher the cost of failure. You did not fail. Absolutely marvelous!! Good for you.
Yes well said!

Yep, especially with boats, you can build a boat so many different ways and most of those ways will still get you sailing and home safe

What a cool sink!!!
Well thankyou!!
Excellent work guys!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good on you standing your ground on the doubters you're workmanship is brilliant I'm sure you're designer is too ,good man!
Thanks mate!
Looking great!

Love the pace. Just the right speed.
Thanks as always.
Glad you enjoy it!
Well done guys, interesting to watch the build, I own a cold molded 29' offshore yacht which has three layers, no ribs but stringers instead.RC
Yep probably heavily diagonal, and then stringers are very important!

Cheers Andrew and thanks for the donation! 😉 Very generous and much appreciated.
Beautiful boat work. I hope your channel grows.
Haha yes we hope so too! It’s a slow game though…

That's so well put, exactly what we wanted when we chose a design and a building method. Happy to hear you enjoy the videos!
What a partnership! Excellent work.
Thanks! Teamwork makes the dream work!

Thanks for showing the progress on that sweet boat!
Any time!
Rudder is awesome! You guys are doing an amazing job.
The two of you are a great team keep up the Amazing Work David Newcastle Australia 🦘
Cheers David! 🦘🦘🍻
Solid progress as always. Keep it up.
Cheers Tim, solid comment as always
Looking great! :o)
Thank you! Cheers!
Gonna follow you guys excellent stuff .. Old guy 20 yrs sailing in NZ
Amazing, thank you for following along with our project! We love showing you all what we get up to!
Hey guys, another great video of building a beautiful boat the way you want it. Really loved the way you dealt with some of the not so nice comments. As always,, de beste stuurlui staan aan wal. Keep up the good work, you two are awesome.
Thankyou! Yes our boat, our way hahahaha it’s often tricky with some comments.. but the bad ones don’t come up that often thankfully. Cheers
I think a couple bow ties in the cracks of that sink would provide good insurance to prevent the cracks from spreading and would have looked really good as well.
Looks like the doggo is ready to go sailing. Better step it up, or she might be a stow away.
Supporting the rudder at the bottom is added safety
Hi you two, i love the classic look of your boat and the amazing work you do, thanks for sharing and grtz from Holland
Glad we are reaching far and wide and you enjoyed!
I think the rader looks amazing especially with the bronze bling. I love how the hardware urves around the prop area
The bronze bling is so pretty isn't it!
That pine sink is awesome! It is so different then the plastic or stainless ones. It gives the boat some character.👍Planning on making a wooden sink for the galley?
Hahaha we think maybe one wooden sink is enough work, we have a small workstation sink for the galley which is very space effective
I assume you are doing this the way you believe it should be done. You certainly sound like you know what you want and how to do it! Push on Lad.
Old Navy Sailor Charley
Thanks Charley! Gotta believe in yourself!
luv that slab of gold for washing hands in ,who has to vacc the bilge you wouldn't want to be allergic to dust.
Slab of gold! Well put.
We save the bilge cleaning for a once in a blue moon type job haha

I'm impressed. You make a great team and appear to building a great boat. Way to go!
Thank you very much! As we said to another person, teamwork makes the dream work!
Corny but true
Another great episode people keep it up and good luck hope to see it at anchor out in our river
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed also
As we share the same choice in Crocs, you have my full support regardless . 👍👍 keep going she will be fabulous. 👍
Yes from one fashion god to another, may we work hard and prosper in our tasteful footwear.
I’ve worn crocs since the day they turned up in WA I had a spar in my heal and they were so comfortable to wear
and I’ve worn them ever since as soon as the tread wears down they get tossed to bin and on comes a new pair
I might add though, the leather tops are my stepping out going to town pair 😉
Hahahaha, safetycrocs for the win
Hahah I actually wore my leather top crocs to a wedding once!
Although I had an injured foot from a wood split miss the bride approved of my footwear!
New to your channel and love it. I’m curious about the big wooden boat in the background. Has a nice hill shape? What’s the story with her? A quick interlude about her in one of your videos might be interesting.
Hey there and welcome! Yes we often get the question about our neighbour boat. She’s called Ninie, an old racer that our landlord saved from the chainsaw. She’s sitting and waiting for a caring custodian to bring her back! But yes I think we are due for a interlude session on her
It might be to your advantage to paint the underside of the decking before fastening
Yes thankyou! We hate painting upside down ahah
Excellent work on the boat and on the video! The videos are getting better with each release.
For those still worried about not dovetailing the deck beams, the horizontal strength that would be provided in 5-10 cm wide dovetails is instead provided by the ~80 cm wide fiberglass reinforced epoxy joint between the decking and the planking on the side of the boat. They will be fine.
Maybe I missed it, but how have you stabilized the crack in the sink?
Hahah thanks for the comment! Very well spoken. Yeah we have slowed up the movement on the sink by giving it some oil, which has seemed to help
Great work!
My question is. Is it your boat or someone else’s. Tell them where to go. 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yes a good question! Our boat, our way
What is the other timber boat in the shed? The boat with the beautiful overhangs.
An old wooden boat called Ninie, waiting for a loving custodian to bring her back!
Always enjoy watching; what can I add to that? cheers rr Normandy, France
Always enjoy a lovely comment!
Please don't let the armchair experts spoil your build
Ah yes that’s what they are called! Haha
Or keyboard cowboys , another saying out here in Kiwi land
Is that the bathroom sink?
Hah yes sure is!
mate i love actually love you. but that wood still gonna split down the shaft. go the allblacks!!!
Great advice butntheres a 7th thing you can do now...
7 change to diesel...
