- The stem of our Sailing Cargo Ship CEIBA was raised on Friday, August 30th 2019. It took months of preparation and 21 people on the final day to lift this massive wooden construction onto the keel. Watch our team lifting up the 2.2 ton stem of CEIBA by hand, here in our Jungle Shipyard in Costa Rica. Listen to the technical details of this process, presented by our projects founders Danielle Doggett and Lynx Guimond. The stem is made out of locally sourced tropical hardwood.

We are in the construction phase of building a 150', wooden, three-masted square topsail schooner here in Costa Rica to sail sustainably sourced and ethically produced CARGO along the Pacific Coast of the Americas using sail and a 100% Electric Engine.
All of our progress is funded by people like you investing in shares!
This is like traveling back to the 19 century pre industrial revolution and giving people modern tools to build a boat along with some experience people. A look into the past. What a wonderful experience. The love and pride of their work coming to fruition.
The first time someone explained design, wood type, and some of the reasoning behind it. Thanks
Well done guys! Great work!
Thanks Tally Ho!
That outtake at the end had me LOL. Sometimes you're just gonna get tar on you, no matter how you grab the damn thing. Love you guys. Been watching off and on for 3 years now. Somehow missed this one in all the world's turmoil.
Wish i had the strong back to come be of some assistance.
Wow, amazing, arabella, and tally ho have an extremely big sister now .
I also agree great job. This is the biggest boat I have had the privilege of watching. Like Salt & Tar it’s going to have a look all of it’s own!
The Åland islands came as a suprise! My family comes from Åland and my great grandfather sailed around the world on a couple of those beautiful old ships. This warms my heart!
I have been watching tally ho and arabella for a while and enjoy their adventure. Glad to add you to my watch list. Great works. Team work and local education. Way cool. Luv from an old salt in NYC ...
Wow, awesome work everyone! That was a huge lift and you all carried it out so well. It was great to finally see another video on the build too. Thank you for the update!
Cool project.
Damn people work boots and gloves.
thanks to say some words in spanish, now i now thar "the steem" is La Proa. keep building and teaching things... thank u soo
I could feel the weight of that just by watching you guys!....whew!
awesome edit. awesome project. awesome people. Sailcargo is going to blow up... tick tick tick so impressed guys. Stew.
This is so fantastic! I have been waiting for a video just like this! Absolutely amazing!! I’m so very, deeply, impressed. Love it!❤️
Great to see the progress of the project and video production. I will visit, when back in CR. Hopefully later this winter. :)
Great video. I remember when we put up our stem and stepped back, at that point we could visualize the entire boat in our mind's eye.
Several words only to describe this part of the build as...Fan-Tass-Mag-Nifiecoh..and a small wowsie !!
Awesome work all.
Cheerz!!
wow I sailed once on a sailing cargo boat in the Caribbean ,called "Berta of Ibiza" I believe she was scuttled in a hurricane in shallow water in 1980 or so .Also watched them build boats like this in Bequie .
It is great to see as young woman interested in wooden boat Building with so much knowledg6.
This place has to be North Queensland. (Gods Country) how small a world is it ? Arabella, Tally Ho, Seeker, Sail Life, RAN. fascinating stuff. All about good things and good people. So refreshing to watch and get away from the horrible things that are happening in this world.
cieba,s sounds like sea bus,cool ide catch that bus.
I want to see how it will cut thru the water!.....excited already!
Impressive! 🛠
Good fun!! Hang in there, y'all!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Otro barco construido por hiipies.!!!!.....asombroso.!!!!
Exciting times,a great job👍🙂
Inspirational project, Well done. I love the sheer legs, that's the way it was always done. Impressive density of your stem timber. Here in Australia we use Iron Bark when we can.
Check out WANDEEN CONSTRUCTION, not near as grand as your project.
Really satisfying!
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
Fair winds & following seas.
Need some Sea Shanties to ease the lift. 'Way ho and up she rises!'...
Why didn't you just use the backhoe to lift it? Hook the ropes up to the bucket and just drive backwards.
Do you worry about iron sickness in the wood from those steel fasteners?
I am curious, how you will carry this finished boat to put it on the water
I would think a carrier on log rollers. It's all down hill.
Thanks for the video. I am following a couple of other wooden boat builds but this is a wooden ship and the scale creates problems that don't really exist on boats. I was really interested to learn which species of timber you are using.
I read up a little about Hymenaea courbaril. It's is rated from different sources as between 10,500N and 11,950N on the Janka scale. I.e. Very hard indeed. It is resistant to rot and termites however apparently it has a reputation as not being resistant to marine borers. I hope you don't take any shortcuts on anti-fouling in your drive to be eco-friendly.
Thanks again for the video, your project is inspirational.
Thanks Dave, really appreciate that. Scale certainly presents its own challenges, but so does working in the tropics with different kinds of timber! That's what makes this so much fun to work on!
@@sailcargo Thanks for the reply. I live in the sub-tropics and so I can appreciate the difficulties you have of working in the topics. I hope one day you will have the finances to construct more and better quality buildings for your yard.
Why didn't you use a tractor to pull all those ropes? Do any of your vehicles have electric winches mounted on them?
Will your boat be able to carry shipping containers?
Hello! As this was a very delicate lift with detailed joinery we wanted to have the most control possible, so we chose to use block and tackle. We have access to electric winches and tractors if we needed to :) Besides, it's good training for when Ceiba is sailing!!
At 11.07 The stem did not appear to fit so well. Was that improved upon off camera. The angle of the stem to keel v notch look way off. Or is that not of concern to you. I'm impressed with the project either way. That's a big boat.
Hi John! That was improved after the video. And once the bolts went in it was snug as a bug!
@@sailcargo That's what I assumed.
@@johntripp2028 is this John Tripp the hockey player?!
@@sailcargo No I'm not a hockey player. I'm just and old sailor:)
When you said "... design from Scandinavia ..." I was thrilled, but no, no elements from viking long boats (excellent cargo vessels) could be seen.
The north Atlantic and Baltic Sea have a rich history of ship design, including viking long boats but also offer so much more! With our intention of transporting large amounts of cargo with speed we looked at more contemporary designs.
Wait she said chesapeake river.
Amazonia wood? How did you really get it? As every body say that was fallen tree, not to say it is not true.
Hello Celso! This wood is not from the amazon, it is locally sourced right here in Costa Rica. The wood for the stem is called Guapinol (also known as Jatoba), latin name Hymenae Courbaril. These particular trees were brought down naturally by a landslide due to heavy rains :) For more information please email us at info@sailcargo.org
And go call someone else a liar... SIR.
Wheres noah
For pride, will you be forming a mermaid for galleon figure?
Why don't you pull that terrible diesel out of your backhoe and put an electric motor in it?
