and after years of Atlantic storms, being baked in Caribbean sun, out in the Dutch wind and rain - you'll still be able to see yourself in it. Beautiful work.
My cous Olly trained as a boat builder, but ended doin loft conversions in Brighton cos he had two kids et all an so it goes Thats a magnificent video , makes me sad Ill not get to Sea again
I think the strip building was just for the plug mold - it wasn't part of the finished boat. So it didn't have to be done with expensive wood or joined as carefully, as long as the mold is strong, smooth and the right shape so the fiberglass can be laid around it.
@@dwel2928 I was wondering about this part of the construction. I read up on fibreglass over wood and it didn't seem recommended. But does look like the took out all the strip wood.
It's always seemed odd to me to build the hull core out of wood and then go and completely cover it in epoxy, fibre glass and paint. At that point it may as well all be solid fibreglass - it would last longer and be easier / cheaper to maintain & repair.
In many boat builders opinion, this is the very best way to build a boat when cost is not a factor. Production fiberglass boats are plentiful because they are relatively cheap to build. Look at Spirit yachts. They are wood-epoxy composite and engineered to last 100 years. You get most of the benefits of wood construction (natural buoyancy and Incredible strength) without the need to caulk seams and replace fastenings wasted by corrosion and in general maintenance is greatly reduced. The wood itself can last indefinitely. There's also a huge sustainability component. We are learning that old fiberglass boats (unlike wood and even steel boats) do not decompose and return to the earth. It is becoming a major disposal problem. Many old fiberglass boats are simply abandoned.
This is a standard strip build construction, most fiberglas boats today have some type of wood core typically some type of balsa or foam or other light material for a core.
сдрассьти... эта яхта создана на костях множества простых трудяг, буржуйская штучка! как техническое и эстетическое произведение она идеальна. как предмет роскоши одного человека - преступление перед чувствами простых людей.
Having built my first Olan Stevens Lightning class sailboat at 15, this is a blast! She is 54 years young and still sailing. ( 4 centerboard trunks so far).I wish the video had shown the ballasting installation, steering, power, hopefully, Yanmar. That sort of stuff doesn't make good stuff for new'bs. Damn what a pretty boat, a Yawl rig is great for all sorts of sail options, and a great place to hang the radar!. As well as the unruly crew.
Warren, Where do you sail your Lightning?? I had a wood one in Milwaukee = always sailed in Lake Michigan = real adventure!! Learned to sail from friends who had had lightnings. I worked in boatyards on wooded sailboats so mine was perfectly kept, painted & varnished. Had to leave it to move out west but I consider the Lightning to be one of the finest sailing boats of all!! Fantastic design = centerboard sloop with hard chine--This is the perfect combination of those features and don't know why it was about the only one--except for the class x boat which was about the same but 15' instead of f 19. 2--Do you have pics? 3--Wood or fiberglass--probably wood if you built it--no?
Jeeezz - if you ever asked yourself why some yachts cost so much more than others; watch this clip and witness this exhausting amount of work ! But it payed off in the end - what a stunning beauty she's become ! I had loved to see what she looks like under deck, though. Thanks for sharing this.
Great video of a beautiful vessel....I have one question I did not see any ballast installed, was any installed and if so what diid you use, if none installed what keeps her upright......thank you in advance David Twyford
It's well seeing, we've gone past the stage in our development where craftsmanship equals artistry...the winches leave no room for getting aft. Stupid!!! Not the S@S of old!
Más de 2 años, increíble obra de arte!!! . Además se puede tocar + vivir + usar + navegar + divertirse + viajar , con todo respeto a los pintores y escultores de todos los tiempos, esto sí es una GRAN obra. Pero sí eres de los que prefieres estar horas delante de un cuadro en el Museo Del Prado, toda mi consideración y respeto.
ALGUNS ACREDITAM QUE UM BARCO TEM ALMA , VENDO O VIDEO NÃO É DIFÍCIL ENTENDER PRQ , EU SERIA MUITO FELIZ TRABALHANDO NUMA OBRA DESSA . AMO A VELA PARABENS A TODOS AÍ
Who knows the original ship from 1934 or 43? Look for the owner of the ship because I named my daughter after his ship! Unfortunately I lost contact! Jan just remind me of Paul ...Greetings to all friends of freedom
Not if it's built out of water proof vitex old growth timber,mine has un painted decks that have been out in the weather for 40 yrs look great ,lot of the upper work also unpainted
At the 13:00 mark another boat shows up in the background, looks like another S&S but most likely built by Plym with the look of that deckhouse. Any ideas which one. Maybe Circe?
Prostitution and obscene problems seem to be connected to orphans (Sex between men and women,things to give birth to children). Those who do not have children's plans and those who have a lot of lewdness said that it would help to get rid of pornography if they make sure not to eat pork,octopus,octopus,and squid. We have to make lives that are not ashamed to others with things that do not have sex with non-married people and healthy lives without prostitution. God Lord,givens this messages.
