Great job, would love to see the completion. When I first started watching I did not think it was going to be a very good boat. I had to change my mind, very nice.
the cold molded boats are actually a higher quality boat then the pure fiberglass hulls like most production boats. these are lighter and stronger, and more expensive. 100% custom built to customer specs. some of the big Carolina sportfishers are custom cold-molded and they are substantially lighter than the Vikings, hatteras, bertrams, etc.
I would have liked to see a more detailed video of the processes. If you have more footage,Im sure alot of people feel the same way. It was nice to see the time lapse. Thanks for posting.
Holy crap, how many man-hours go into building one of those? If it's made in America, with all the people that are seen working on it, that has to be one expensive boat.
I agree with you, I want to see more, but I guess that's it. Does anyone know anything else about this video? Who is making this boat? From the look of it, they had a whole lot of people on this project. For this size boat, and design, I have to imagine it's way too expensive to produce. At least in the US, Canda, Australia, New Zealand, western Europe, and Japan it would be.
Greg Gacek Probably made in USA but using illegal immigrant Mexican Labor at well below award wages! 😂😂 If they can build a ladder to get over Trumps wall, they can build a boat! 😉😜😜😂👍
That was one of the better videos to show the step-by-step process of how one of those boats is built. What a tedious process and all those ribs/braces have to be perfect as they're placed and their shape changes each one from the transom to the bow tip. That's probably the most essential element for everything to work well, right? It looks like they were all made out of sheets of MDF? Really incredible and they're probably all laid out off a computer program and cut on a C&C machine.
Wonderful.to see young craftsmen building a fine boat. I built wooden hydroplanes as a kid. What a great way to enjoy satisfaction when completed. Bravo !!!!! Bravo !!!!!!###
looks like all pre cut pieces, with router or water jet? ,they used to do the same by hand in the 60's at Egg harbor yachts in NJ , they would make a 28' wooden hull a day. this looks like its was filmed in Italy or Germany, where was it filmed? I never understand why people don't put proper descriptions thanks anywaywarren
Notice, it is Jan. 7, 2020, I am selling my cold molded ketch, 34' loa, 12' beam, 3/2' draft. Motu Atea see her on ebay , Craigslist treasure coast soon.
@@introsforyou9625 true but what about Cape Cod schooners "racing" no less, back to Boston harbour with a hold full with tens of tons of fish back in the days of sail, strength, weigh and speed - imagine that sight. Look up Thomas Francis McManus for more on those boats. Good luck
Wood has no place on a boat unless it’s furniture or internal decorative trim, never structural. Wood does what it was intended to, decompose so it leaves nutrients for the next generation. No matter how well wood is encapsulated moisture will find a way as well as mold spores. In fact painting or glassing may exasperate the problem by holding in the moisture. I would have been impressed if they had used that hull as a plug for a fiberglass mold. The hull will last a lifetime if ribs, stringers and bulkheads are made honeycombed laminates. A boat with wood in it’s structure is a guarantee of ongoing maintenance or demise.
