- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2022
- It’s full-steam ahead on ORCA!! This week we’re in the drawing room with Lou as he shows us how he’s designing the keel and centerline based on his knowledge of Novi boats which ORCA originally was along with research, study and scaling of many ORCA photos and information.
There’s many ways to get involved in the project, we just added a huge list to our website www.tipsfromashipwright.com of all the items found onboard ORCA that we will need to complete the boat, from the iconic yellow barrels, to Quint’s fighting chair, his rod and reel, the shark cage, engine, mast, we need it all! So take a look, see what you can find and leave us a comment if you know where we might find it or if you’re interested in helping us make it.
More ORCA fun on the way!! Stay tuned!!

I bet Adam Savage (of Tested and Mythbusters) would be interested in helping out with some of the props and stuff inside the boat -- he would be a good connector to the whole movie prop and maker communities, which might be very excited to pitch in in some way with this project
That's a very good idea, I'm sure he will be super excited if he hears about this project
You run the risk he would overshadow the project. Lets just keep this in house project .."in house". Just the way we like it.
@@erichl1167 Not sure why you need to fix something that is not broken.
@@percival23 I think The particular contributions his community could make are specific to movie prop replication. He obviously knows nothing about boatbuilding. But the overlap would be fascinating. Imagine if we had movie prop experts making some screen accurate props to help furnish the boat, while Lou continues doing what he does best. It would only make the final product that much more complete -- while creating some opportunities for neat crossover videos from anyone helping make things on the long list of parts needed to finish this.
Let's contact @tested
Lou,
%99 of people have no way, none, to access any insight into the process of vessel design. What you are showing us is fantastic as well as fascinating. I never fail to watch your videos as soon as I come across them.
Thank you.
It was such a travesty what happend to the original, part of the jaws attaction,then left to rot and chopped up.
So this is a wonderful project to resurrect such a fantastic movie and fishing icon !
What's left of the Orca is on the right side of the Menemsha Channel about half-way to the Pond Maybe a small piece of wood can be salvaged to go onto the new boat. And, Louis, I was a neighbor on Green Lane decades ago - but had a place on MV - and still do. I love your channel!
Oh man - you’re right! Easily visible on Google Earth. Very cool!
Thats Orca 2. Just the fiberglass sinkable prop. The original boat was broken up 30 years ago in the universal lot.
There are a lot of models of Orca here on TH-cam. Very few builders have put this level of care into crafting the hull. And you're building the real thing. Amazing!
I think your going to build Orca better then Orca her self ! Your a old salt with more years of experience then those who design these boats , love how you chose the timber to make sure the boat will stay true to its design! If I had the time and money I would have you build my dream sail boat 60’ Schooner !👍🏻
Ready to follow this great adventure in construction. Love your enthusiasm Lou.
You are right, the angle on the forefoot is for beaching her. A lot of the smaller communities they have to beach just to go home for the night so it's more than just for working on her.
I just turned 60 years old about a month ago. I grew up on the Cape. I can remember the filming of the movie and all the hype. I guess I would consider myself a movie buff to a certain extent and without a doubt this is my favorite movie of all time. I live in the Pacific Northwest now in the Seattle area. I periodically rewatch this movie just because it reminds me so much of Home and growing up on the Cape. I think this is the most amazing and awesome project and being a sailor and captain and fisherman, I so appreciate you taking this on. If I can think of something to contribute I will. All the best and good luck! Take good care, from the Pacific Northwest.
I remember hearing once that they had to add separate ballast as The Orca didn''t like the mast that was added and had a tendency to list in a turn.
Das ehemalige Lobster-Boot mit Namen „Warlock“ wurde in den 1950er/1960er von der Firma „Novi“ in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, einer Provinz in Kanada gebaut. 1974 wurde Sie von Joe Alves, der auf Locationsuche für den Film „Jaws“ war in der Nähe von Marblehead in Massachusetts entdeckt und anschließend von den Produzenten gekauft. Sie wurde in die Orca umgetauft und einige Modifikationen an ihr vorgenommen.
This is taking cosplay to an whole other level haha
A fascinating analysis of hull design. I think hull design is as much an art as it is a science. Even though you are attempting to make an exact replica of an existing boat I'm sure it will have some small tweaks that will make it an original Louis Sauzedde!! What makes this series so interesting is that we will be able to hear your take on every step of the construction. It's always interesting to hear the comments of someone like yourself who has a lifetime of knowledge on a subject, in this case boat building and is willing and able to share that knowledge. Should be an interesting journey.
Yeah its been very fun to get to know the boat so well
I'm pretty sure this will be his magnum opus. But he's prepared his whole life for it and he's more than ready.
Was thinking the same thing.
I see what you did there.
I have a feeling you underestimate his past experience
Are you absolutely sure he's not going to need a bigger boat?
Oh yeah, I was here for the filming in 1974 - just after being out of the Army.
Yes. Important to scale every photo. There's lens distortion to consider. Looks like your team is approaching it correctly. Acquiring an original barrel is a good place to start as far as scale. The original chair and stern letters are also out there. Awesome to see this actually happening finally.
Wonder when Lou is going to splash the V-bottom.
Meanwhile I cannot wait to see Orca's build. I'm sure Lou will employ techniques and tools we've never thought of but wish we had 🪚
This is just amazing, when I was about 10 or 12 years old I used to watch Jaws a lot of times. I think still is one of my favourite movies, I have always admired the look and performance of Orca, now I built wooden sailboats, looking at this episodes will be a great inspiration for me and I’m sure for many others as well
This is a monumental sized project. It may seem a small boat, but the detail is what makes it big.
And thus starts a new voyage! Looking forward to seeing our beloved master shipwright create yet another superb beauty!
you're a true craftsman, and self taught makes you more of a craftsman in my opinion. looking forward to following this series as I do all others , bu this one is extraordinary
I said it before and I’ll say it again this is probably going to be the best current boat getting built on any channel on YT for a long while Soo excited all the best from Ireland 🇮🇪 Lou
You should check out Sampson boat co he’s building a beautiful big old boat
Yep I follow most boat channels 👍🏻
currently, Sampson Boat Co. would rate near the top imo.
Yea, a lot of us found Lou thru links to Tally Ho.
I was born in nfld as kid my older sister and brother still lives there, and I have good friend of mine who lives in the same community. He's a lobster fisherman and he fishes for shrimp as well, he' has to go 9 hrs steam as they say, to even get to his fishing grounds.
I've also been waiting for this build for quite some time. Should be awesome Lou and I quite sure it will not be a disappointment in any shape or form.
I'm ve y excited about this. This is why I subscribed
Hmmm, do I watch each episode OR do I not watch and binge at the end and enjoy a weekend of boat building bliss...
I've really been looking forward to this video series. If anyone can do it you can!
With you all the way, Lou and Halsey! This will be epic!
I think you really enjoy building boats, and seeing you do what you enjoy is really fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your joy for us to enjoy.
I'm at a loss for superlatives to describe Lou's knowledge and skill.
I think he would of been great at any craft. He definitely has a great talent for practical and creative problem solving.
@@slzckboy That's a good point. His focus on getting the job done with complete respect for how it was traditionally accomplished but nonetheless feeling there might be a better way is highly unusual. He could have been an aeronautical engineer or an architect; untethered problem solving is unique in any field.
You are are doing magnificently, now just blow some more sunshine up our ____ 🤣
The one at universal Studios disappeared one day. Steven Spielberg was driving by it and called them park people, they said it was just all rotted away. so they chopped it up and tossed it in the dumpster. He said he was very angry
I am not much for watching movies, but have seen Jaws. ORCAs, the mammal, kill sharks, how cute. Now on the other hand I love watching you build boats.
This is going to be a top build, not that the others weren't. Hopefully the items can be sourced to make it real nostalgic
What was the final outcome of the V-bottom skiff. Will we get to see Lou driving it.
Yes!!! Please!!
I was just wondering the same thing.
I'm sorry but that boat was eaten by a 25 foot great white shark.
As they say in Nova Scotia, we the boys that builds the boats and we the boys that sails' em , in their accent of course 😁👍
You are such a tease!! I've been waiting so patiently! Let's go! This is going to be so fantastic.
Lou your amazing to listen to, the amount of knowledge you have on boat construction is amazing! This will be so epic I’m so excited to get to follow along.
This is gonna' be a fantastic project and I can't wait to see Lou working his saws and planes. When I clicked the alert, I thought we were gonna' see the V-bottom skiff in the water. Can't wait to see that either!
Ballast wise, most were ballasted at stern, to bring the sharp bow up some
That’s so awesome Brother !! I wish I could come work with you lol. If I lived closer I swear I’d be your Dennis the Menace lol. Your years of wisdom In boat building are priceless. You should think about writing it all down in a couple books as I know one wouldn’t be enough. Thank You for all you share. There are some of us left that truly appreciate your work. We are a dying breed. I fear before long these talents will be lost to time.
We are so excited for this build!
Thank you Lou for today's update on the Orca project. This is going to be an amazing build.
Looking forward to this video, thanks Lou!
I don't know diddly squat about boat building but I do know Nova Scotia pretty well and my immediate thought about the purpose of that slanted forefoot might be something to do with how high our tides are here and boats coming and going in that environment where they might be beached for half their time in harbour. Boats would have to be dragged around on the bottom some in those places or perhaps even come and go at the edges of the tide when they don't have quite enough water. Not really sure. In any case I'm really looking forward to following this build, your other work is amazing!
ORCA..!!
Awesome 👍🏻
Can't wait to see Orca come to life.
I am so excited to see this build!
This makes me so happy.
Peter Benchley was supposed to have begun writing "Jaws" in Stonington Burogh before finishing writing on Martha's Vineyard. Based on the bullshark attacks in a New Jersey river.
Looking forward to the build!
This is gonna be great!
Absolutely great project, love it!
I'm really excited about this build!
What a greatproject!
I’m really excited for this build
Looking forward to all the knowledge you will be sharing Lou! Love every video you put out.
what a cool project!
OMG!😱 can’t wait!
Fantastic. Best wishes from Halifax. 🇨🇦
Oh man will be on the hunt for some items for sure.
Awesome
fantastic...thank you
Aye aye sir... arggh!
I know this video is a year old now, but I'm curious whether you considered reaching out to Adam Savage for some prop recreation help? Quint's fishing rod in particular looks like something exactly up his alley that he would do in a One Day Build. A collaboration between this channel and Tested would be incredible!
Enjoy the Building of This Ship. It be a awesome Tuna fishing ship and Join Wicked Tuna TV Show.
The drawing process is genius. It comes with the craft, I’ve done similar, but this is inventive engineering and design at a level never achieved.
Part of me is like - just do this in CAD it's be so much easier. But they didn't have CAD when Orca was designed and probably you'll end up with a more faithful reproduction of the original using original methods.
This project is amazing. A great person to reach out to for support would be none other than film-prop aficionado, youtuber, and maker: Adam Savage. If anyone has a way to track down film artifacts or reproductions for measurement, it's him. Heck, he might even know people that worked on the movie.
The fighting chair is a vintage Rock Away brand chair, I sold the one that’s on my Bertram 3110 years ago. I would’ve given it to you……
Am I the only one who thought 'Orca' was just a cool name? I had no idea it was actually going to be the movie boat. Very cool anyway though
Ok. Let's do it!
I posted this video on the facebook "Jaws" fan group. Amazing project recalling a wonderful Boat, charismatic character that Quint and awesome movie, Jaws. I love this !!
They actually used more then one boat to make the movie, if you look closely you notice that the boat in the movie changes abit (little details like the brass mast) a chest on the roof....
All the past videos where you kept saying Orca, I had no idea you meant the Jaws boat.
Did you need a 28 foot remote control great white shark?
Dreyfuss is the only Jaws film boat crew member still alive now, at age 75. I hope he could visit Orca II once finished.
Such a pro Lou, there aren't many who can talk like that for so long and keep a naturally restless audience of boat craft lovers totally captivated.
I was hoping that we could see the v bottom skiff underway.
Great video, this is one of the best boat building ch. How do you ensure the boat will be weighted correctly to prevent roll over? Also as there are no plans how do you calculate stringer, frames and planks? Is there a calculation based on boat length?
What a great project. although. ''Your gonna need a bigger boat'' Sorry. I had to say it.😶
This is gonna be great! What power will you use Louis? In the movie it sounds like a 6-71(complete guess). A 6-71 would be some very old tech. Plus I think I heard you mention these boats ran on 140 horse and the 6-71 is well over 200. In the movie the boat seems to be moving quite quickly for a displacement hull. More than 140 horse could do. I don't know
base on your building knowledge, what would you estimate the amount of wood lumber and sheet good needed to complete this project. the scale of this project is mind blowing to me
They would pull the Cape Island boats with Oxen up the beach .
Cape Island Barrington Nova Scotia 7 boat building grandfather's I was named after my dad s Cape Island boat !
I hope the back will be stronger than the original so the captain doesn’t get eaten.
The real one is in Morehead City, NC.
Whats the plan for the Boat after its complete?
The similarities may be superficial, but the S.S. Minnow and Ernest Hemingway's boat Pilar were both Wheeler Playmate38s, built in Brooklyn NY. Is there any possible connection to Novi lobster boats in terms of fittings and equipment?
I watch a documentary on the making of Jaws and they said Orca was a modified Elco that they rebuilt the house to have bigger windows for filming
Louis, will you be making the frames out of plastic.
Some inform Mr. Sauzedde that CAD exists
You’re gonna need a bigger boat!
Did I miss the launching of the v bottom skiff?
Lou, Do you think you need a bigger boat ?
Your going to need a bigger boat ??
What film !
Big question: What will she be called? I would think ORCA II, but that was the name of the unpowered replica boat used on the set of the movie, the one that actually got destroyed.
Was the original Orca boat destroyed in the movie, or was it movie magic?
Hi Roy! There we're two boats, one working boat, both were ultimately destroyed...but now it's coming back!
Lou - curious to know how this project came about??
Did you know Billy Joel makes lobster boats?
Do you know what diesel engine was in the boat?
How'd I miss Episodes 1-3?
What happened to the V-bottom skiff ?
