For those who followed his videos, it is certain that when completing this work, accessories for protecting and caring for the sailboat could not be missing. Complete to the extreme, your work is fantastic. Congratulations and thank you for providing the pleasure of watching videos full of information, it is certainly encouraging to those interested in boat building. I'm looking forward to seeing you sailing. Good winds! Marcos - Brazil - South America
It looks like you’re ready to go sailing. I’ve watched this series since the beginning and it’s been time well spent. It truly has represented “the art of boatbuilding”. Bravo!
I like how generously sized your sail covers are. The commercial sail covers I have used always seem to be barely big enough and it has been a struggle to get the twist locks fastened.
Thanks Michael, In the Sailrite booklet I mentioned in the video it strongly suggest that the covers should be loose fitting. I too have had the same experience with tight fitting covers. Thanks for watching! Bob
I haven’t looked into this yet Bob but now I have the basic recipe. The folks at Sailrite are a pleasure. Great as usual. I won’t make it to the show this year but will be there in spirit. Best wishes, Chuck
Awesome work, Bob! I'm a long way from needing sail covers (right now, I'm trying to find a good supply of long, straight grain white oak slabs for new frames), but I'll certainly reference this when the time comes.
Gracias Bob.Por todo el tiempo que te has tomado para mostrarnos este hermoso trabajo que has hecho.Yo aquí en Chile,solo me confomo con mirarlo por yuo tube.Muy agradecido y DIOS TE BENDIGA.
Great work Always wanted to get into sailmaking Years ago I took auto upholstery classes and worked in a shop for awhile First time I ever touched a sewing machine was on a Pfaff comercial that could sew through your thumb A friend of my dad who knew I used to do that gave me her old 1957-9 machine I wanted to make a WW2 style Navy hammock out of duck canvas Ended up using a sewing awl
Beautiful work Bob on the sail covers and creating another informative and entertaining video. I look forward to the launch video and see the beautiful lines of Skylark sailing in the bay near Mystic Seaport. Thanks for sharing
Bob, I would love to make the trip across “the pond” for the launching of your beautiful boat but I think it's just a trip too far and my pockets aren't that deep. I am sure it will be a very memorable day.
I too wish you could be there. The launch will be on a live TH-cam feed. It will be quite late in the day for you, however it will be recorded to watch later. Thanks for your support!
Hi Bob, thank you for the wonderful video once again I just love all your skills that you have. I wish I had the patience that you have. Anyway keep up the good work Cliff from Australia
As always, beautiful work and you do a great job at showing the process. Very clear with the right amount of detail. One question, as I am contemplating making covers for my gaff rig. My peak halyard is detachable at the gaff, which I then clip for storage to one of the chainplates. This would eliminate the cut in the middle of the cover. Is there a reason not to do this?
Hello Bob...I am really curious...in all your series I percept you like a really calm person, but do you get angry, or furious when something goes wrong? I would like to see a short video with your "furious" moments...if such exist 😃 Big greetings from a follower from Croatia...
Both Hereshoff's Buzzard Bay 15 and the Watch Hill plans are held by the MIT's Haffenreffer-Herreshoff Collection. Thistle is a Watch Hill boat. here is a link to the plans: mitmuseum.mit.edu/collections/vessel/thistle-60904?filters%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D=vesselName&filters%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=Thistle&resultIndex=8 You must contact MIT for usage rights. Artisan Boat work has built both boats. You could check with them about plans www.artisanboatworks.com/ Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! I'm going to try to make it to Mystic. Question: how much of the rigging do you disassemble to tow your boat. Surly you don't tow it with the mast stepped. Also will you be making a cover for the boat while towing?
Everything gets removed. All the sails, blocks and halyards. The Mast and booms are transported on a horizontal rack on the boat. No boat cover. She is designed to get wet. Thanks for watching, hope to see you in Mystic!

Absolutely amazing guy!
Absolutely love every video, very clear in everything you teach, thank you 🙏

Thank you Bob. I always learn something from your videos, even though I am a landlubber.

Always a pleasure watching a master craftsman at work.
Her launching has been a long time coming. Wish I could be there. Fantastic work Bob.

As always, if you're gonna make it, make it like Bob does. Beautifully. The sewing is so satisfying.
Thanks for sharing the creative idea for twist-lock installation! Another great video!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful, Bob! Fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!

You must have great knees, Bob.😊
For sure! Even with good kneepads I'd be hurting.
Another truly beautiful project!!

Great job, I always enjoy your videos, so full of great information.
Excellent piece of work. Thank you doe sharing.🙂🙂
You are truly a Renaissance Man. Is there anything you aren’t great at?
Superb job, work of the highest quality
Thank you very much!

You certainly can eliminate the lazy jacks in your situation. They are the most complicated part of the process.
Cheers,

Curious what body of water you intend to keep her that would require sail covers? Peoria Lake?
It’s a private lake in Illinois. Sail covers are important to protect the sails against inclement weather and UV.
Thanks for watching.
Quick question. I’m looking to build either a Buzzards Bay or a Watch Hill and I cannot for the life of me find the full plans for it.
Both Hereshoff's Buzzard Bay 15 and the Watch Hill plans are held by the MIT's Haffenreffer-Herreshoff Collection. Thistle is a Watch Hill boat. here is a link to the plans:
mitmuseum.mit.edu/collections/vessel/thistle-60904?filters%5B0%5D%5Bfield%5D=vesselName&filters%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=Thistle&resultIndex=8

Do you have plans to make a tonneau for the cockpit to keep it from filling up with rain when stored?
Yes, I have looked into making a cockpit cover. Stay tuned it may be a future video!
Thanks for watching.
I was wondering the same thing.
😀👍👏👏👏
I am a landlubber, not a sailer. I’m wondering why sail covers are necessary. Isn’t the sail material weather tolerant ?
Sail covers are important to protect the sails from inclement weather and UV damage.
Thanks for watching!
