It is so nice to see someone still making these lovely works of sailing arts, Thank you for sharing and thanks you to the owners for commissioning this wonderful yacht and allowing you to share it with us.
K6 looks great and I'm glad one was build. I built a 3/4" to a foot NYC 30. MIT was a great help with the plans. Lofted the lines in Autocad from the offset book pages. Interesting that Herreshoff only used the books and lofting floor. Think of doing NYC 70.
I find it hard to believe that this vessel was designed in 1904, but then again, I couldn't believe that The Planets Suite authored by Gustav Holst was composed between 1914 and 1916. Both seem to me like they came from a much later era.
I wish I knew how much they got paid to build that boat. Similar size sailboats go for about 300k. I also noticed that they cut into the frames deeply to fair them for the planking. A little math beforehand and they could have determined the rhombus angle of the frames in order to minimize material removal while making the overall process of bending the frames easier. This really shows the inexperience of the builders. I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but that is the fact of the matter. They damn near cut the nuts off that attach the frames to the floor beams.
Hereshoff sure knew how to design a boat. And the builders and riggers did an amazing job. Simply beautiful.
Just beautiful. Art in motion.
Well described!

素晴らしくクールな艇ですね。これをホームビルドで作った技術に感心します。何よりも素晴らしいスタイルに惚れました。
ドランゴン艇ににたラインの艇が滑る姿は絵になります。素敵な映像に感謝、ありがとう。
What a stunning boat. Great work!
Is it just me or is this the most beautiful boat ever built??
Yes there are, look for a regenboog zeilboot

What a beautiful boat, simple, clean, elegant. Poetry in motion.
The white finish on the hull is the best I have ever seen. It's impossibly good. Impossibly good.
Beautiful, so elegant on the water too.

Thank you for sharing this. It`s a fantatic boat.

Beautified boat. True craftsmanship, for a sailor, and his family that loves sailing! Bravo!
The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Classic lines!! You can see the yesteryear beauty of it a mile away. And such a wide beam. Great build!! Kudos!!

Terrific little movie & beautiful job on constructing beautiful design & boat itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Top notch!!!!
Graceful and beautiful as are all Herreshoff's designs.
Love the self tacking jib. Once the sails are up 2 lines to pull.

Fabulously beautiful boat.
Just gorgeous lines. A masterpiece design.

How about a little love for the man who whittled her model out in the first place - Nathaniel G. Herreshoff.
Very beautiful boat!

A boat never looked better
Outstanding!
What a magnificent boat !
Looks fast too. Beautiful.
"She should be very fast in light air and smooth water, and downwind in all conditions. Upwind in a breeze she’ll be wet, and exciting"
What an uplifting video!
Wow. What a magnificent boat
She’s a beaut! ❤️
That is a beautiful boat. It looks fast. What is the overall length? How much would a boat like that cost?
Terrific!
Stunning!
that is so wonderful
Lovely yacht...!!!👍🙂⚓️☀️
Boat looks alive and happy
I need to buy this design

A thing of beauty.
That’s a beauty
Classy and graceful as a lady.
A ghost of a lady. Excellent.
In my next life I'm going to be rich instead of so damn good looking!
OMG I love this boat.
Great ship! Where can i got the plans from this boat to build a radio controlled model? With best regards from Deutschland!
what is the topside material on this boat? never seen a deck like that
why can't they just make all boats like this now
Shear beauty.
how much does one of these boats cost to have built? What does it look like down inside the boat?
Beauty
wow wow!
Where can I get the plans for this boat 🚢. I like the lines of the boat and I would like to build a similar boat soon.
The people to contact are mentioned in the notes posted below the video.
Bet this little masterpiece cost over$100,000!
Yachting consists in tearing bundles of 500 bills in an ice shower .. And art demands a little money
lindo barco .
She's fast too.
Sangat bagus,keluarga yg utama bung
Da iawn!!

Well, lets see your boat you made so perfectly. What a jerk you are
Men build wooden boats in an attempt to emulate the beauty of Nature by God's hand
All it takes is money.
I do not unterstand what you mean
wood is being thrown by thousands of tons, yet you cut new trees to make a primitive manufacturing high wood weight boat...
wooden boats are lighter than fiberglass and better for the environment in every case. what are you talking about
