There's a lot of hard work in that boat. When I hit the lottery and build my boat, I'll be out there every day with coffee, pizza, cold drinks. Hats off to those craftworkers who deliver top quality work in difficult conditions every day, year after year.
What is amazing here , especially for a builder from a cold climate, is the boat is being built in a car park under a carport! I first saw this on Westsail yachts built in the 70's and 80's in California. Impossibly to imagine if your from the snowy rainy belt! Good job guys! Cheers Warren
I'm glad to see Great Harbour Trawlers are still in business. I always admired your yachts. I would love to see more of the recent builds you have done, on your TH-cam channel. Thanks for uploading.
***** Too bad about the GH series. I also like the N series.The lower profile design suits it's lines, I think. I also agree with you on the use of space, Great Harbour uses on the N series.They have a timeless workboat look about them I quite like. TG you have a decent laptop. I just use a little netbook I hooked up to my flat screen.
As explained in another comment (2 years ago) the boat was delivered and I saw no point in posting any other timelapse videos because they'd be boring.
Don't think I've ever seen a fiberglass boat built where the stringers were 'installed after the hull was laid'...why didn't you build the hull form WITH the stringers integral to the hull form? I mean, to integrate the stringers INTO the hull would make the stringers AS STRONG AS THE HULL, instead of 'patched into the hull', where they will only be a percentage-as-strong. But...then again...who cares about strength, profit margin, or efficient build times, right?
What? I've never seen a boat with stringers integral to the hull form. You might see something like that on a little skiff with a lot of bottom shape so they don't have to bond in stringers. Grids are getting more popular on bigger boats. Also, some of the infusion builders will put stringers in when they infuse their hulls. That has nothing to do with strength and is pretty much a cost saving measure.
yeah... what? that is why 'stringers' are 'stringers' and the 'hull' is the 'hull'. you build the hull, then add the stringer grid/transverse frames/bulkheads etc etc
Skeeter Saurus yeh want a weird comment, the hull on a fiberglass boat is a complete shell, then the framing , stringer , or what ever you want to call it to stiffen the hull is added afterwards. It was nice to see here they added all the Stiffening BEFORE removing boat from the mold! Traditionally built Wood boats have to include the hull, frames, floors and every piece to be part of the structure , mainly because of the limited size of the material that are starting with and it only has limited bending possibilities , metal boats similar. The beauty of a fiberglass hull is the entire hull is essentially one complete, shaped piece of material.brilliant! First time in boatbuilding that the hull is made from one continuous piece! It lead to the explosion of designs in the last 50 plus years. .my only complaint about fiberglass boat and this one is included is the use of wood in places it cannot be replace , there is no amount of wood encapsulation in resin and fiberglass that will stop it rotting eventually. It may not effect the structure but I've worked on way too many old boat that the wood has rotted. And I was part of that crime building new boat in the 70's when we would say ' a coat of resin and it will last forever' Ha!. But the expense of other methods is a real problem but if I had a choice I would build the entire stringer system out of fiberglass first and then Bond it into the finished hull. It would be more accurate , quicker and cheaper in the long run but more work to tool up. But fortunately I only build tooling now so it not my decision I just make what they order! But I do have to fix rotted wood in my old fiberglass boats! Cheers Warren

Very interesting to watch. I hope you post the remainder of the work being done too!
those guys sure work fast
What has happened to the 47 ft. N and GH models?They were in my opinion one of the best live aboard trawlers ever made.
Where are specification for n37, speed(s) fuel usage & range, air draft and electronics or options?
Gostei do vídeo.
I went x2 on the speed to watch it in 7 mins.
me too, good idea bro
no 2nd part? nice time-lapse though!
Honestly once the roof went on the outside time lapse got really boring and I decided not to post it.
Ya gotta love it!
Why this thing cost so much? Thats why!
Sad to see how much down time there was in that build.
I fast forwarded to the last 10 seconds to see the finished boat. Nothing.
These are so expensive because of the incredibly inefficient build process...
We're hiring production management....
Half built boat with no follow-up videos, guess they went out of business.
