I have binged watched up to now and am so incredibly impressed. The words craftsman and genius are much overused but, in your case they are not only accurate but too shallow to explain what you are. It has helped that you are so calm and have humour for us that are imprisoned in our homes, making it more tolerable, thank you both.
Sorry for the late reply, thank you for the kind words good to hear that you enjoyed the vlogs , hope that you won’t be in prisoned much longer. All the best Colin .
I've binged ALL of your episodes Trevor and I just love it! Your owner Colin is an incredibly talented man. I'm assuming, based on the filming, that you don't use a lot of plans. You (Colin) seem to have all the technique and steps in your mind and execute several things all at once- it is just a joy to watch. Shared on twitter and facebook- so Great!!
This build is shaping up to be one of the very best I have seen. Your attention to detail puts even the best boatbuilders to shame. I only wish I could afford to commission you to build one for me. Your work is incredible! Keep it up, and may you have many years happy boating ahead of you!
If you ever have bow thrusters installed here's an idea for controlling them Have a mechanical/electrical device at the tillers base (above or below decking) so when turning, the bow thruster will assist in a turn, ie: sharper the turn higher the thrust. Also have a hand grip like a motorcycle throttle for opposite thrust for docking or whenever you need to go sideways (switch on throttle only). On the hand grip there would also be switches for thrusters on/off, throttle only (overrides tiller assist) and maybe the horn? ;-)
All need now is a canopy for the stern and forward end....love the stained glass panels for the port holes.....you might need a cage for the vase as if you. Bang into the side of the cut or lock gates it could go flying....
Well we have added a pram cover to the boat , not going to have a front cratch cover .As for the vase it’s still in one piece , having had a few heavy knocks .You have obviously binge watched hope you have found it of interest .All the best to you Colin .
Hi Colin your boat is stunning, an absolute tribute to your skills, and I must say even though it’s not my boat , my pulse rate went up considerably when it was hanging on those slings, great film as always, can’t wait to see finished paint job and launch. All the very best to you mate!
What a journey from the beginning to now I have really admired the quality of your work. Thanks for taking me along Thanks to MissCindy for her editing work on the eptsodes Say how’s the diet coming? Looks like you lost a few. Soon you will be as skinny as Trevor!
A sombrero would look great! Congratulations on completing the fit out, Colin. She looks lovely. I'm sure that with a coat or six of paint, she'll be as beautiful as her namesake. Well done to all involved. I'm looking forward to the big reveal in the next video. All the best.
@@ColinJaquesNarrowboatBuild It's been a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman at work. Has Trevor found a new job yet, or are you keeping him on? ;o) I hope you all have a lovely time on board. Enjoy your retirement. Put your feet up, grab a brew and a slice of diet cake.
WOW Colin your doing a fantastic job, and all those LITTLE touches make it even better. Like other said I get nervous watching them lift and then move, but they do know what they are doing and yes have done it once or twice before. hehehe Cant wait to see her all painted up and looking spiffy. So now that you have gotten this far would you ever do it again?
This yard is very well equipped with boat handling gear, much less stress than a wheeled dolly and a forklift. Absolutely brilliant bit of finishing off although l guess it will never really be finished, will it Colin. Look forward to the paint element now, oh and did you sort the tiny leak in the "pigeon box" roof hatch?.
Looking fantastic, Colin. Looking forward to seeing the outside finished. Just wondering who is going to paint it. Will it be that strange man in the white overalls again (the one that Trevor likes)?
steve cooney no the only thing I did think in the early days was wish I had had the sliding hatch longer , but now it Isn’t a problem , we had been on five different hire boats and new what we didn’t-want so it was all quite easy going .glade you have enjoyed it .
You have single handily done an outstanding job with this build. Go on holiday for a month and relax.

You should be very proud, great job Colin. Boat may me heavier but you are definitely lighter.
Derek T ha ha just a bit .proud and lighter!

It looks amazing!
Hi Colin what a fantastic result and a truly beautiful finish. Just as an observation I would put another anode in the centre of the boat.
Well done colin👍👏👏👏😁
Excellent work by an excellent guy, very well done!!
Bigyin. Thanks for your comments

Greg Wade paints nearly done , now , don’t think I would do another one , but you never know . Just going to get out there and enjoy this one .
@@ColinJaquesNarrowboatBuild Enjoying is the best part, you made a really great place to kick back and relax.

110%
How much do you think you have saved and also costed for you to do the fit out?
Looking fantastic, Colin. Looking forward to seeing the outside finished. Just wondering who is going to paint it. Will it be that strange man in the white overalls again (the one that Trevor likes)?
I always get a bit nervous seeing them lifted by the crane. There are too many youtube videos of those straps breaking.
Another great vlog Colin. Boats looking really lovely. Where did you get the pigeon winders from. Been looking for some like that.
Glad that you liking it , a company. Called Simply Screwjacks .for the openers all finishes .
Thought the near side tyre was going to pop at one stage! 39:20
Wishwader did look a bit like that
Is there anything you would do different to your fit out?
steve cooney no the only thing I did think in the early days was wish I had had the sliding hatch longer , but now it Isn’t a problem , we had been on five different hire boats and new what we didn’t-want so it was all quite easy going .glade you have enjoyed it .
Did you put the cupboard doors in on the piss Colin or we're you on the piss ? It could of been the Mrs Crimbals brandy cake. lol
