Building Fedelma 

Retired Welder/Fabricator here. I've made some fantastic gear over 4 decades. BUT you wood guys are something else. Excellent...

Thx 4 inclusion of rig build. She’s fair and lovely. Drew

Sir, your patience and craftsmanship are truly astounding. I learned many new terms watching your short video and appreciate that you shared it with all of us. I hope you are still enjoying the fruits of your labor and wish you fair winds and happiness.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed every minute of that. You did a beautiful job.

As beautiful as anyone could hope for! I am certain that this craft will be enjoyed endlessly!

Thank! I really enjoyed watching this video! The result of the work is wonderful !!!

Beautiful job. I hope you’ve had lots of fun with her.

A lovely build, wonderful attention to detail, congratulations!!

What a wonderful build. Congratulations and fair winds. A true inspiration for my current first boatbuilding project.

Love the Oughtred designs. Nice job. Good music , too.

beautiful. skilled musicians, too!

Well done mate! She must sail like a dream, and may you have many adventures in her with fair winds and good weather. 🏴‍☠

its been a week, i have been looking for various articles, journals & videos on construction of boats. this was the one, which i was waiting, and as the music pepped up, my heart beat kept racing up. I am so fascinated, i wish you could see the joy on my face. i wish i could learn from you!

A nice choice on the plan, a really good job on the build and a super job on the video. Well done.

Beautiful build, well done

Congratulations on a beautiful boat! You inspire me! I launch my Caledonia Yawl on June 1st!

Great build!

WORK OF ART,,AWESOME

She's beautiful!

Awesome!

Nice boat!

Это самое лучшее видео! Рождение лодки!!!

Nice build. It looks really fun to sail. How many hours did the build require?

Hi Paul, I have an Oughtred Ness that does not have a lifting rudder. It's about the same size as Fedelma. I want to build one but I don't have any plans or measurements to work from. Any ideas where I can get plans or even just a drawing of the shapes I need?

Congratulations! You've built a beautiful boat. Is it a caledonia yawl or ness yawl? Also I have nearly finished building a caledonia yawl

Great build, great boat, congrats on a fine job! Would like to get in contact with you Paul (mail), I am building a Tirrik myself :-)

Beautiful boat. I've consulted your video(s) numerous times while building a Tirrik here near Austin, Texas. My impression is that your version is unballasted and has a solid mast. Is that accurate? Also, where did you find the hardware for the centerboard control lines? That's a neat setup.

great

Seems there's a lot to it; making a little boat.

First you build a wonderful ship, then you put white paint on. What an pitty. What's wrong with seeing that wood? How about varnish? Build another one, please.
