Two highly talented and considerate individuals in this presentation- great creative energy
Can't beat the lines of a Cape Islander. I grew up in Nova Scotia seeing them everywhere, and we owned one for a while when I was a kid. There's two in the small fishing town I live in and they're the prettiest boats in the harbour. Really interesting observation about the centre of gravity at 3:40, that sounds perfectly logical.
Absolutely amazing! I’ve grown up in southeast georgia where the only handmade boats I’ve ever seen were simple plywood swamp boats. To see the craftsmanship and hard work required to build these vessels is quite simply just astonishing to me. So much respect to these guys!
I will definitely watch this whole series, can’t wait
Cannot wait for this series!!
Ok lets go ! Greetings from Australia .
Can't wait to see this one turn out, keep up the series!
My good friend from Maine tony knows them right down the road from his old house. He showed me the video of island magic they built. Looking forward to this series. We are in the Gulf of Mexico in Florida and warms waters are not nice to wooden boat. Worms get them so fast. But still would absolutely love to have them build us a boat and bring it back to Florida.
My late Grandfar is smiling! I watched as glass boats dominated the boat world, and wood became too expensive for building boats.
He reluctantly accepted that glass was more practical, despite its flaws.
Thankfully wooden boats will continue to be appreciated and built.
3:55 as a fella that lives in Nova Scotia, a wooden boat is nearly impossible to sink 😅 and with a few layers of fiberglass over the outside, makes em nearly bullet proof, it all comes down to engine and transmission/prop choice, I miss the little red, but my "new" to me boat is solid glass, and has a completely different feel and ride to it😮
Awesome!
Classic lines, high rake bow, wide a$$. Throw in a lot of wood and brass and you can't go wrong.
Interesting how this builder has gone to Vancouver Island to find one of the Best Navel Architect,s in the PNW.
Tad Roberts is one of the best naval architects anywhere!
@@offcenterharbor Yes, and he mentored under William( Bill )Garden.

I made similar with WoodPrix instructions :)
Holy hell every frame / rib / beam ,so full of wood knots , not good at all ,
Indeed, if you were right, it would be "holy hell". But you're totally mistaken about the knots. The wood for the frames/ribs is absolutely clear, with no knots. There are no beams in the boat you see in this video. The wood you are referring to with the knots are the temporary molds that the planks are shaped around. Once the boat is fully planked, the temporary molds are taken out. The beams won't go in until well after that. It will also be clear wood. with no knots.
@@offcenterharbor I come from a boat building area Whitby north Yorkshire , more than 1600 years wooden boat building history you will never find any knots in any of the wood used in the construction ,at all , Well maybe in something that is a DIY home amateurs construction ,
Good to hear that so much affordable knot-free wood is still available in the UK that builders can use it even for the disposable temporary moulds, Peter. Here in the U.S., all builders use less expensive wood (usually with knots) for those pieces that are disposed of and not in the boat when finished (and thus the knots have no effect on the boat or the building process). @@peterg791
@@offcenterharbor these days over 83% is imported so I am told, hence the sky high build prices and low orders a dying industry
