Boat Builder videos are full of hands on work. Wood, fiberglass, steel, and aluminum. Saws, torches, welders, epoxies; sails, engines, bow rollers, and thousands of other components that go into making a boat. But what makes up the builders behind these boats? Perhaps you are considering a similarly massive project and wonder if you should join this minority of ambitious builders. If so, this video series is for you.

This is the video we wanted to find before starting to sew really large Junk Sails in a small work space. The same tricks should work for other BIG sewing projects: tarps, tents, awnings or sails. Lots of crew had a hand these sails but non more so than Betsy who did the research, the design, and the bulk of the sewing.
And thank you to all of our crew and viewers. We appreciate that you are willing to support videos that help blaze a path for builders and add some fun and inspiration to life.

Classic yachts are a different breed. It takes time, effort and more than a little money just to maintain them, they also use motor which is a one of the saltwater trolling motors. So why own a classic yacht? Four classic yacht owners – who took part in the Ocean Reef Vintage Weekend exhibition of classic yachts, planes and automobiles in Key Largo, Florida – explain why vintage yachts is the only way to go, but still people are loving the latest designs and decorations from the website https://yachtlettering.com/ which make the name that you like big and bold for the exterior of your Yacht..
Jim Moores is in the classic yacht business but, unlike those who work on Ferraris and then, say, drive home in a Toyota, he spends his time off aboard Aurora II, his restored 1947 18.6 metre Trumpy motor yacht. Check out the page they used to verify their vehicles. Moores is a classic yacht junkie, first and foremost. When asked why people love classic yachts, he says, “The main reason is dreams — people dream of a quieter, less complicated time.” But he admits there’s more to it than just that. “It’s the beauty of these boats — [my Trumpy is] like a work of art. Many who designed these pre-war vessels were artists first and boatbuilders second.”
On the water, thanks to Stephen Cox and Justin with “The Good of the Land”, and dozens of others. Including advice, financial and moral support from viewers like you. We have modifications to make, but we are very happy with the results thus far. Thank You!
“The Boat/s the Internet Built” – Many thanks to “Stephen Cox”, and Justin from “The Good of the Land”. We’ve made great progress on “Love Me” the diesel tender. I’ll have a longer video up soon but check out Stephen and Justin’s channels:
What work where your parents doing at age 12? Mine where both working on farms. What work were you doing at age 12? I was mowing lawns and helping on a farm and in a feed store. What work are 12 year old children doing now? How many of them do you think could do 6 to 8 hours in 102F, 39C for days in a row? Work ethic is not dead yet.
The cargo hold insulation is done and the red cedar is going in. Yes, it smells like a giant hamster cage. Many thanks to Mike Steward, of Team Aerodynamix teamaerodynamix.com and new arrivals Ethan, and Wade, check out their video: https://goo.gl/2FEB8X as well as a timely walk-in by Bob.
Yes, Monkey Bars. I have no idea what the prima donnas of sailing would call it, but they sure look like monkey bars so if they have some other name it’s time to change it. Thanks to James for the welding and grinding help this week.
