Part 3: Follow Espen The Boatbuilder build a C.G. Petterson inspired modern boat from the beginning to the boat is on the water.
This boat is a home design, but the inspiration is from Scandinavian designs around 1910-1930. The narrow hull and pointy bow in addition to low weight will help the boat to a decent speed with a small engine.
In the good old days, fishing boats and larger vessels were built by a team of workers.
Thick planks need to be steamed in a closed box for a couple of hours to be able to bend to the curves of the hull, and must be bent to shape immediately before they lose their flexibility.
To encourage workflow and speed, they were sometimes served a shot of liqour for each plank completed. This was the hardcore version of the so called whisky plank, the last one to finish the hull.
This ment they had to work really fast to get a buzz. Not the best time to get in their way.
One story tells of an old skipper coming to see his boat during the build. As he was leaning over the topside, his long beard got caught under a freshly steamed plank as it was clamped to the frames.
The workers refused to remove it, had their drink and moved on to the next. His beard was cut and left as part of the caulking between the planks. The glory days of health and safety!
