The Building of "Frosty Morn" Section 3: Decking, Fitting Out, and Launching
Section 1: Lofting & Setup - Section 2: Setup and Planking - Section 3: Decking, Fitting Out, and Launching - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
We are the current owners of Frosty Morn (now Northern Traveller) and are happy to report that as she approaches the age of 30 she still looks and performs like a new boat, thanks to the quality of materials and the techniques and care used in her construction. McClelland is a master boatbuilder.
I have posted two videos of her under sail - search "starboard tack at Hecla Island" and "double reefed off Hecla Island"
good
Hi, it is now in Rivière du loup in eastern Québec. Do you know the phrf for that boat?
I am a contractor by trade out of Boston Massachusetts. It was a real pleasure watching you build a beautiful boat. Your handwork is second to none. Now if I could only teach my carpenters to take a little bit of pride in their work, I showed this video to my guys at lunch time to see if I could get a little pride out of them. I hope it works. Beautiful boat. Fantastic job.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of such an incredible build! I can't express how much I enjoyed watching and dreaming......;)
Hi, should have gone to bed hours ago but started to watch and could not stop . Lovely to watch a craftsman at work. Like all highly skilled people you make it look so easy. Thanks for posting this. Regards, Rod
You have a talent that is slowly giving way to the modern boat building techniques. I hope you have a young man to help you out in your shop that is smart enough to pick your brain during the day. You my friend are very talented. It was a real pleasure to watch you work.

I come from a family of traditional boat builders and so I do know craftsmanship. This is mastercraftsmanship at its best. The tone of the man's voice projects peace of mind and a good heart and confirms what Enstein once said, that sailling and violin playing are the noblest of pleasures. This man is a noble gentleman indeed
Always great to watch an artist at work and would love to see much more. Thank you.
My man, you’ve built one hell of a sweet little boat there. Very very nice. I want one!
Incredible lofting and pattern work. Amazing what ONE man can do. Just a pleasure to watch. Having built lesser craft on my own, this was a treat to watch!
Great job.
Thank you for posting.
Having spent 5 years restoring a 33 ft. sailboat from top of the mast to keel I know this how much work you had under your belt !…
Everybody watching this video should leave a comment thumbing you up !!!…
Outstanding Sir. I think the true mark of a master is in his mixture of craftsmanship and artistry. She is a thing of beauty! Truly appreciate you sharing this with us.
Blue Sky's and Following Sea's.
Loved the whole process from beginning to end. Beautiful little boat.
fantastic video series. I have built 3 watercraft using epoxy resin and marine ply. A 16' skiff and two kayaks and your video has given me incentive to build again. What a beautiful ship you have given life to.
+santard Where can a set of plans to build this boat be purchased?
Beautiful boat and excellent show of craftsmanship. I only build boats like that in my dreams. Rest in peace Jim, regards from Norway.
A true craftsman, you have created a beautiful work of art. Thank you for sharing.
What a perfection! Its a work of art what you did.
Thank you very much for your wonderful video, showing how to build a boat. You are very professional and surely you knew what to do. God bless those skilled hands.
Extraordinary work. A master craftsman. Thoroughly enjoyable
Very nice boat, fantastic workmanship and you have a perfect voice for narration.
Beautiful boat.
Only 6 months, that's incredible. Nice work.
That's pretty incredible. I enjoyed watching this.

Amazing video with great workmanship and detail!! She is truly a very beautiful boat!
"Starting to look like a boat here". Looks like a really fast boat here. Great job, I learned a lot just watching your video. You confirmed my uses of fiberglass cloth for cracking to. Thanks for sharing.
Hello: I was the third owner of this boat - owned and sailed her for seventeen years, from 1998 to 2015. This boat outpointed everything i ever sailed against. She was a sailor's sailboat! Her deep foils and hull shape made her unbeatable to weather. I sold her on for a boat with more headroom and cruising amenities, but still miss the sound of waves slapping against the cold-molded hull, and the way she would accelerate "through the gears" as she caught the wind. The fractional rig, a midcockpit traveller, radiused in two planes, with a windward sheeting car, and a rigid vang made it easy to tweak the mainsail shape for most wind/heading combination. With a relatively small foretraingle, you had to fly a spinnaker to get the most out of her downwind, and in really stiff winds her relatively light (750 lb) ballast made her somewhat tender, so you had to reef early and depower the main in gusts.
She received annual coats of varnish to her topsides as UV protection for the clear finished glass/epoxy layer on the outside of the hull, and painted surfaces were redone as required with Interlux Briightside. The only structural work I did was to re-skin the rudder with an extra layer of 10 oz glass set in clear-setting epoxy, to thwart off some incipient checking of the wood - otherwise she needed nothing beyond paint, epoxy, varnish and Cetol to maintain her in Bristol condition. The boat was as sound when sold as the day she rolled out of McClelland's shop. The cold-molded hull was bulletproof and never leaked a drop, nor did the decks or windows. His build quality was second to none.
Thanks for posting this video - I passed on my CD copies of the entire build, along with her plans as drawn by Peter Dunsford, of Gary Mull's Naval Architecture firm, to the new owner when I sold her on.
WoW! Thank you. Awesome video, fun to watch. Such A Beautiful Sailboat!
Thank you so much, a really beautiful piece of floating art

Hi.the work you have done is absolutely wonderful. And I can see you are enjoying it thanks for your video.
Just to say thanks a million for the well presented video. I have a Lotus 10.6 and it was built using a similar method. Lots and lots of hours!!!!
I really enjoyed this series, thank you
He makes it look effortless. Very nice work.
That was great!
Beautiful boat, thanks for sharing
You are an extremely impressive and articulate man!
Brilliant! A fiine combination of traditional boatbuilding skills with modern materials.
"I really can't stress enough, doing as much work as possible outside the boat." Words of wisdom.
A real masterclass! Thanks very much. The tip about using bungee cords for tensioning fibre glass weave is something I'll use in future.
Thank you for sharing this video! I am a furniture maker, but have always wanted to build a boat.
Wow. Thanks for that. You are a true artist.
Excellent demonstration of great work, I really enjoyed watching all three of Your videos, they helped a lot in understanding the process. Thanks so much!
Wonderful work !! realized in the rules of the Art, as they say in France ... Super Bravo for this solid construction, and superb at the same time, that the wood is pretty ...! it is up to the riviera ... !! Well done !

Magnificent skills and workmanship.
I take my hat off to you. Wish I had another too, for your easy style of narration from the auld country.
Thank you for sharing.

that was a lot of work I hope you got paid nicely for your efforts and thanks for taking the time beside building it to put together this video . Thanks so much it was fun watching.
thank you for allowing us to view your work by video. I would love to build a boat like that but I am just a wood butcher with little experience. I am of the persuasion that we need more wood boats built.
