Maryland style bottom planking "trick of the trade". Sea Dreamer Project Ep. 75.

- More Maryland style bottom planking and one little trick of the trade for this type of planking.
This is this is the story of a complete boat owning and boat building novice and his family, constructing a 41’ full displacement trawler yacht in the backyard of their upstate New York home. While I consider myself a fairly advanced amateur woodworker and DIY guy, I’ve never owned a boat before and certainly have never built one either.
The naval architect, George Buehler, designed this boat, from his Diesel Duck line, with the home builder in mind. This design has been licensed for professional builders in China and Turkey, but George’s goal was always to make the large, blue water cruising boat within the reach of the average person.
His commitment to a design that was attainable for the average handy person, resulted in his first book, Buehlers Backyard Boat Building, detailing the process. His designs often include building materials and fasteners available at the big box home improvement stores.
George believed that a robust, comfortable and safe cruising boat could be built with less than ideal, traditional materials. While he acknowledge that less than ideal materials may limit the vessels longevity and resale value, his design would get people safely out on the water while the other guy remained landlocked saving for a design he would never be able to afford to build.
Many traditionalist scoff at his mostly hard chined designs and deviation from traditional methods and materials. However his maverick approach has made the dream of crossing oceans in a home built boat a reality for many around the world. No matter what the “experts” say, his designs have been proven over and over with literally hundreds of examples cruising the worlds oceans today.
Our goal is to be next!

Hi Scott, great job! Hope all is weel with you and your family! I can't wait to see your next update.
Where is you is? Hope all is well with you and yours. Miss seeing the amazing work you do.
There you are, I sent out a search party to look for you.
Glad to see you back, can't wait for more.
Absolutely agree 👍
One of your best videos yet! Music is great, and the time laps is mesmerizing.
G'day Scott,,
She is looking very nice , love the look of the hull planking
Great to see more progress .
Scott, Starting to look like she just might float, and coming along nicely. Looking forward to your progress. Thanks for sharing your adventure...............................>
Looking good Scott. Glad to see you back.
when I first saw the design of this boat I thought the chine would be too weak of a design but now that I see it come together looks as though it going go be fine! Looks like it will be nice and strong by the time its all fitted together.
Nice to see you back on the boat again Scott. Good episode. Keep ‘em coming. Rick
We miss your videos man! 8/2022
First i didn’t belive in your project but now iam amaced by your skills. Great job
You have come a long way, it’s looking good.
I'm impressed by your high quality work. It's too bad you don't have some help on things like the planking. And I marvel at all that clear grain lumber. It must cost a fortune.
About time. Yes i know , life drags you this way and that. Looking forward to the next one already.
Been looking forward to a new video. Still amazed at what you get done as a one man band.
Good to see you again, welcome back.
I must admit it looks great from what I can see, the planks look faired really well and the fitment looks great. Good Job..Sgt...good job
Missed your project very cool build
Great job Scott 🦘👍
Been watching you since the beginning your skill your hard work and what people don’t see supplying your project With the phone calls you must after too Make 👍
Making progress and looking good !
Thanks for sharing
Scott, Nice work! Makes me want to start building my next boat! Only on a much smaller scale. 😄
Where have you gone Scott, I miss your videos and. Intent. Hope all is well.
Live the videos man keep up the awesome work
Looking awesome!!
i was just recently wondering if you are all fine. glad to see a new video! loving the progress.
Right on Sgt. Looking good.
It's been fun with more to come!
Great view, work goes excellent 👌🏿!!
WOW that's sooo many man hours ! keep it up !
Seems like he could use a couple of helping hands
hi the boat is looking very good
Your slowly getting there. Can’t way to see you slash this vessel. I am envious.
One step closer!
Could you taper back maybe every other board a certain amount to keep it in line? Awsome video, would love to spend a week just watching and learning in person!
He could, but it's less work just to slap up a bunch of planks and make an adjustment when the differences gets big enough. And even more so if it ends up getting sheathed in plywood.
The boat is looking good. Personally, I prefer sailboats but I subscribed to your channel because it's a George Buehler design. You'll be making the great loop in no time. I don't know but I've been told that green antifreeze is essentially the same thing as wood preservative.
Love the music at the start, who's playing? Good to see you're still doing a great job.
Stay safe.
Toujours pas le sourire 😊 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😜😎🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
That bottom looks fantastic Scott. Good to see you back. Too bad you couldn't find a pickle vat with the right curve and length of stave to use for the bottom planking to save time. Are you going to sheet the bottom with plywood and glass like the topsides? Thank you for the update. Best wishes for a great week ahead.
After watching today's edition I've got one question. Why in the name of little Green apples did you build your boathouse so far from your shop? My heavens you've put miles an hours just walking back and forth.
This form of hull planking is termed “Deadrise” it is neither Maryland nor Virginia, it’s been used in the Chesapeake Bay for centuries by most DelMarVa watermen….
Did you put any limber holes in the longitudinals before planking ?
I am surprised a prominent builder/designer like George Buhler cam up with this costly, time consuming construction method. Nice wood working by Scott.
I enjoyed your bike ride. Or, was it a recumbent trike?
Great to see the project moving forward so well, do you still need to add a ballast keel or is the ballast internal?
Keep on keeping on! Not sure what all the high speed running around in the shop and on the road was about?
Have you given up?
hello, could you tell me exactly what product is that black mass, do you use it to seal?
Aptly named project
Is the entire hull getting fiberglass?
I think there will be another layer of plywood before the fiberglass.
import quality wood from Indonesia
Drywall would be faster. Just saying...
1/2 or 5/8?
i really enjoy this channel but like the channels, life on the hulls or acorn to arabella it will never be finished. hes been planking the bottom for 5 months now and less than half way through.
Huh? Arabella has finished the planking.
I think you are going to be proven wrong, some projects progress faster because there is additional help and near full time work on them, this project is a one man operation and done in his spare time, sometimes the build isn't about getting to the water as fast as possible, it is more about actually crafting the vessel, if you wanted a fast build you would buy a ready built vessel
@@errolseager1292 True. And if you wanted a fast self built vessel, you wouldn't do endless video recording and editing, and fundraising. Totally different process.
Acorn of Arabella not being finished? Say what? They're plowing through and have been non-stop for like 3 years. And are progressing every week...? I'm still not convinced in this ship's design but will likely be proved wrong.
I think in years they will be finished as the YT Money comes in..... This channel is plugging along but those sailboats seem to now put the best of the best into their boats... They have Now made Shows of E-Begging and will drag out building the blow boats for years to come for Money...... be well.
