Beautiful sailboat, I have always liked wooden boats, they have soul in them. But I don't have the skills and knowledge of woodwork, so I opted for aluminium. Thanks for the video.
Nice sailing, and interesting to hear you use tung oil. I used it for years on external yacht wood, good stuff. Our house interior floors are all tung oil treated, and still shine today, even with doggy traffic. I am curious about your small cockpit and lack of back rest on long passages for the helms person. Interested in your comment on that. Best from the antipodes.
Hi I just watched the video myself to see what exactly Mark said about the finish on the outside of the hull. He used a tung oil based marine varnish. The cockpit is lacking back rests. That is a future project. It will certainly help a lot. Thanks for watching!
The backrests are something that I will be building in the future. I wanted to make sure that I had all my running rigging, etc. before I built them, to ensure the back rests would not interfere.
Everything up bar the cook’s shirt!
This is a good video. Nice sailing.
Thanks Rochelle 🥰
Thank you for your chart work for it's always good to known where you'll be anchoring!
I appreciate the feedback on the chart work. 😊
Good seakeeping through that wind. The boar seems stable.
We’ve found that she is pretty stable and takes the rough conditions well. Thanks for commenting.
