Unheimlich geil! Komme zwar nicht aus der Bootsbau, geschweige denn Segel-Community, aber finde die Videos (auch schon talley ho) so interessant und unterhaltsam… zwar schade das es bis zu den nächsten Videos noch etwas Zeit braucht, aber nimm dir die. Umso mehr freue ich mich auf die nächsten! Und: echt guter Video-Schnitt!
I don't know why there's so many boat restoration projects popping up lately. Maybe it's because people have been cooped up for too long over the past 4 years and they want to stretch their legs. Maybe it's just because Leo inspired these people with Tally Ho. Maybe it's both, and more. Whatever the reason, it makes me happy. Not only do we get to see great content, but these very old boats get another chance at life.
it appears that you have found a real gem…i think that the fiberglass is going to either be a savior or killer in this case… she has gorgeous lines, and made of beautiful timbers …i hope she turns out to be structurally in tact so you can focus more on her other incredible possibilities… she really is a clean canvas to work with…i see her as a weekender gentleman’s sailing yacht…id keep her simple and pure with modern running rigging , with dyneema standing rigging…easy to sail but not give up the organic feel of a classic wooden yacht…below decks - oil lamps with tasteful low voltage indirect lighting… no complicated systems …ice box, sink, perhaps small infrared 2 burner cooktop…clean !…id go with composting head with shower…as few through hulls as possible… exciting project!…i could jump right in! but, i’ll be watching, and perhaps commenting instead… cheers brother!
I look forward to following your journey in restoring this old boat back to it's former glory, and I appreciate the amount of work it will take, both on the boat and to record all of the work being done. May I suggest limiting some of the background music? I'd rather hear the sound of the work, even if it's the jarring sound of a multitool, than music. It's fine to have music when the playback is sped up, but please use softer music which would be most appropriate for a sailing vessel. Thank you for sharing this with us - liked and subscribed.
Wunderschönes Catboot. Wenn jemand Interesse an einem neuen offenen 15 Fuss Catboot in Deutschland hat: In dem Suchfeld eingeben "Neues Catboot zu verkaufen".
In the UK the noun that describes the condition of the fiberglass on your boat is 'blown'. Once bonded, water had got behind the fiber glass & it had then ever so slightly separated from the wood. The UK has a damp climate & it's common to see blown render on the outside of houses, paintwork can also be blown, plaster work can be blown, tiles on a bathroom wall can be blown & likewise Jannik, the fiberglass skin on your boat was blown. Sorry about the English lesson, I can't help myself.
I’m so happy another boat restoration is starting now that Tally Ho is nearing completion. I definitely encourage you to get rid of the F/G covering that beautiful hull. Not only is it a problem with holding water between wood and glass, but it is adding a tremendous amount of additional weight. Get back to the original design build which was all wood. You will feel better for it and have a far better vessel. I shall be watching this work closely. Learn from Leo’s videos and people like me will support your effort’s. Leo has turned his Y tube vids into a well paying business. Not only that, many people have donated equipment as well as money to his endeavours. His vids are very entertaining and informative. there are thousands of “armchair builders“ like me who will help you with this worthwhile project.
Of course you're not willing to fiberglass this boat over again. It's originally a wooden boat, and in the title you speak of 'saving' her. I hope you watched a lot of Leo's videos, now having an idea what an excellent channel on the restoration of a boat would look like. 6.6K subscribers is a nice begin for a slow start. I won't subscribe however until the restoration really takes off, so like you say in a little under a year. One hint already: if you have a really uneventful thing, like towing a boat to the other side of a river, just show the essentials: leaving, running aground (I thought you had a rudder installed) and arriving. Nice though the music may be, it doesn't make up for that boring footage of the journey.
nimm das Polyester runter... das geht mit holz keine Verbindung ein... damit wird alles Holz darunter rott.... und du bemerkst es nicht..sonst geiles Teil..viel Arbeit... ich mach grad einen Jollenkreuzer Bj.: 1926
My brother had two Cornish luggers built by Percy Mitchell the Erin and the Ibis. Very seaworthy boats. He used them as working fishing boats and ran them out of Looe, SE Cornwall.
Hmm ..What about using the fibreglass hull shape to build a mould of the lines ..Then remove it to free the wood for inspection before the re-build. Also why not consider using the latest materials for mast / engine and standing rigging and sails for greater efficiency ,rather than a musieum type restoration ? She certainly has beautiful lines.
Adding to the chorus. Timber should really only mix with fibreglass when fully encapsulated from new. Even then, I’m not a big fan. Sheathing an old traditional boat is buying it some time in the short term and condemning it in the medium to long term. It’s only half sheathed and WILL rot out. If you are happy with all the work of fixing this up for some shorter term use, and a sad inevitable rotting end, then re-glass it. If you want this boat to last and to remain repairable as a planked boat inherently is, then strip all the fibreglass and repair traditionally. Your boat though. Not every boat can be saved, and you will probably get some good years out of it before the glass kills it.
fiberglass/polyester NEVER sticks to wood. its a crime to glass over a wooden boat only ignorants would do such a thing, get rid of it and start all over, good luck and don't listen to the many armchair experts....
Hello Jannik, I look forward to following you on your journey. There is another restoration channel I didn’t see mentioned, it is Sailing Magic Carpet with Maya and Alidino, they are restoring a Cape George Cutter in Canada.
Eine interessante Geschichte, jedoch als Engländer kann ich mir deine fürchterliche Ausprache nicht anhören, gutes Englisch bedarf auch ein verständnis der diversen Vokalen dir Du zermetzelst. Du brauchst entweder einen Kurs in Englishe Aussprache oder einen längeren Aufenthalt auf den Inseln. Ich bin sprach Coach und weiss wo von ich spreche.
Good luck with this project. There is some thing endearing about designs from the past. I sometimes look at the lines of my Mercedes A180, and then fondly recall the Triumph TR3 that I had in the early seventies. You could not travel anywhere in it without the tool box, but I will never have the same affection for the A Class. I wonder if my grandson will have in 70 years time! I also watched Steve and Alix , and also Leo, from the felling of the first tree, by Steve, to the inspection in the Oregon port by Leo. Both became addictive. I will be 80 years old next month, and I hope that God will grant me the time to witness another whiskey ( Irish naturally) plank.
Awesome - another boat refurbish to watch for the next few years! Understand this is your first video, and you will gain experience as you move along. But your voice track is very quiet compared to the music & power tools. Means I'm adjusting volume up to hear you speak, and then lower, when tools and music comes on. I don't love giving public criticism, and do apologize for that. I checked for an e-mail address, but found nothing.
oh i appreciate the criticism. My camera gear is quite outdated and I didn't wanted to spend too much time editing, and wait any longer, because this episode was film in summer 2023. I had a lot going on over the past year wich i will talk about in the next episode. e-mail address will come up in the future, along with over ways to interact and communicate as community.
Beautiful Yacht. Looks a very sea worthy line. My father had a Robert Clark yacht in the sixties. Lovely lines also. You will have your work cut out but obviously know what you are doing. The very best of luck with it. My experience with pitch pine is as it gets old the resin in it turns to a glass like substance which is very hard on cutting tools but may well have preserved the planking.
I started watching Steve’s Acorn to Arabella, then Leo’s Tally Ho, and I am so looking forward following Jannik with his Akela. Good luck. Greetings from Hannover, Germany.
Some people I know would slowly disassemble that boat, keep the steering wheel, and rebuild it from that.... with a team of heroes and lots of patience... Let's se what you decide. Good luck..
