I hear you David! Many of the projects in the Boat Werks are applicable from power to sailboat and back again. Don’t seek yourself short by only focusing on the bit you like. The building skills and experience in the Boat Werks is what makes the channel special. Trust me 😎
This is exactly what i plan to do on my Mayland Minstrell. Looks exactly like this but a tiny bit smaller. Also has this traditional look. So glad I came across this.
I like your focus on getting the proper lines of the pilot house to be in tune with the lines of the boat. I’ve seen lots of ugly add-ones to boats. Your approach is spot on. Keep up the good work!!!
Great video and I just subscribed and look forward to viewing your prior vids. Question .. how and when does the height of the boom come into play when designing the pilothouse? While I'm a sailor (Catalina 30, Sunfish, and others), I've always been in love with the lines of a C-Dory 16 and thought of converting a suitable sailboat into a small powerboat (sans mast)
@@motorcityboatwerks will you raise it when it’s still on the trailer hooked to the truck. I used to have a Hobie 16 and some people liked to put them on the trailer backwards so it was facing down hill on the beach to help raise the mast. I never did it that way because if you dropped the mast , which I have done a couple of times, it would land on your vehicle. Yikes!!
I find the hard chines of the West Wight Potter to not be very traditional and the lack of a keel means the boat interior is very shallow so I don’t think a pilothouse really helps the boat or looks good. 😌 But this is a matter of personal taste.
@@motorcityboatwerks I think it's a great idea. I was searching You Tube last night for ideas. I'm thinking of doing it to my 1977 International 23 ft. Sailboat. I really got a kick out of the humor to add to your videos. Facial expressions and more... 😆 Great Job !!
Are any of the comments below from naval architects or even artists who know a thing or two about aesthetics never mind the technical aspects of boat design?
Yes all of the good comments🤣 I don’t need a naval architect or artist to tell me what looks good works well. 😂 Do you only listen to music approved by music majors or orchestra conductors?
