My Classic Boat. Cape Henry 21 

That's one of the loveliest boats on Earth. It's got a very useful wall down the centre to keep the girlfriend on her side and so ensure the longevity of the relationship. You can add the engine from a Dassault mk.1 Mirage to help win races...Cheerio!

What a fabulous series of videos. Great people, great boats, and proper talk. None of that TV documentary fakery nonsense. Total joy to watch.

Beautiful boat , thanks for sharing with us all. 👍🇬🇧

Kudos to your wife for supporting your lovely build.

That barking gave me a heart attack 😂😂

Phenomenal workmanship. Well done!

A very roomy tiny boat. I ❤️ love the design.

fabulous. thanks for another wonderful video. :) It was inspiring to hear Brian speak so positively about everything to do with his boat.

Another delightful video and another fabulous boat and builder! Thanks!

Love it, Great interview

Thanks so much for sharing your experiencesI learned so much, great workmanship and attention to detail, an inspiration to anyone who wants to build their own boat.

Nice boat. Also nice to see the obvious pleasure the owner takes in talking about the build and sailing her.

One of the best explanations of the pleasure of amateur boat building. Great job as well... Cheers !

Really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.

lovely boat and great interview

Great little big boat. And a very great conversation with the builder.

Absolutely wonderful!!

Thanks for sharing that lovely boat with us Mr. Johnson

This video was so enjoyable it made my evening. Talented builder and great boat and family. Kudos!

Love the teak. Beautiful boat.

First boat build? Impressive. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome movie thank you so much Brian

Delightful chap. Stunning work!

What a lovely chap. And to have a go and make such a great job of the build. Inspirational stuff 🙌

Great boat. I loved the coffee table

Beautiful and very inspiring. Well done!

Beautiful boat, excellent job, so positive thinking, nice conversation, calming voice, as he said, sleeping like baby.

What an Awesome Build!

What an inspiring story, what courage!

Very nice. Well done!!!

Stunning sailboat!

Thank you. Beautiful little boat.

Nice achievement! Beautiful job! First I ever saw that design. Been sailing 40 years.

Hi Brian. An absolute stunning boat. Can imagine your passion. And thank you so much for the inspiring words on the building proces. I'll start to build a Pocketship next spring and it's a first built as well. Thinking over the proces during the week en practicing it in the weekend is exactly my way!

Really cool story for a beautiful sailboat excellent work and I’m so intrigued and inspired thanks from the Pacific Northwest 🇺🇸

High Quality Workmanship

Incredibly spacious, very nice.

Great boat, great bloke.

aahhhh....sunday morning...another my classic boat pops up....yay!!!

Great boat! While old boats are amazing, it's nice to see some new designs and modern building methods.

Love his attitude and what a great accomplishment. Well done👏👏👏

Amazing boat, just the perfect size. Love it😉

Thanks a lot for posting this video.I´m in the process of building the same boat. So it is lovely to see a finished boat and happy captain.

Brian is awesome. So is his boat. Lovely. Bet she handles well.

Lovely build

Lovely boat, she really is! Cheers!

Great done!

That boat looks very nice, it seems to give an enjoyable sail and enough accomodations for a weekender boat camping family. I like the video format of this channel. Great work.

Wow stunning....An shows anything is possible if u put ur mind to it an don't stop til done!

You and your boat is fantastic. I have built the little dinghy by myself and I know well the feelings. Good luck!

This gentleman really loves the boat. And looks happy talking about her. My great respect for such a great work.

Very nice boat love it

Great job !

Never been on wee boat, but I love this. So down to earth and common, and I guess loads of family fun. Would love to experience. PS, in view of your comments, Chrysallis, comes to mind. Nice name

I’m saílor too in South of Brazil! Congratulations By “JAYJAY”, your beautifull boat! Nice vídeo Sir! Cap. Aero Louzada

Super beautiful boat

Fox's is the master designer equaled by this build...well done

nice !time well spent

Excellent and encouraging! I am currently building an 18-foot yawl (Francois Vivier’s design “Jewell”) and recognize so many things about what a first-time boat builder experiences. You tell your story brilliantly and I hope to have the same degree of satisfaction once I am sailing the coastal waters in the country where I settled. Thank you.

Love it...grew up on the water in New England- commercial fishing boats in the family- but for the past few years been getting a hankering to get back into boating. Never did anything like this before- Intriguing. I will start on dinghy sail boating, and if this takes 3+ years. I can plan on 5, since I take longer than the average to build anything. My Ducati Super Sport 900 took me 2.5 years to build, and that I am very familiar with (motorcycle) so for me, I am figuring, while I learn the dinghy life, I can see what I might want down the road. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks so much for gathering footage of yourself inside the cabin. For some reason this is something that most people neglect to do. But it's extremely important because potential buyers like myself absolutely need a sense of scale when considering the purchase of a particular sailboat because they want to know how much available space is down below. That being said, your boat is quite lovely. And thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Nice job !

Thoroughly enjoyable and what a gorgeous sleek boat. I'd be tempted to built one but space limits me to a Pocketship. Very well done

Very inspiring!

Wonderful build Brian, she's a beautiful boat! Thanks for sharing your story.

Large cockpit for that size, nice cabin... She's beautiful

Nice boat ! I will be like you as soon as possible .

What a nice man. So life-affirming

Nice boat, guy, and video thanx

Thank you. I needed this vid

Love the doggy intro!

Bless :) His sweetie is "drop dead gorgeous" and his wife "quite likes racing".

Good job, may she look after you and yours.

Excellent!

Lovely boat!

English Blokes lending a hand reconnecting with their maritime heritage seems right. It is a beautiful sturdy boat. Building what you want new seems the way to go.

Stunning boat.

"Go buy a house with a checklist of items and that makes your decision" .. ha ha, maybe 40 years ago. Now your decision is made for you by price low enough and not being out-bid by 10 other buyers. Awesome boat! Extremely impressive. Probably only a few people in the world can build their own sea-worthy boat, just as a weekend project. Outstanding!

Nice boat sir

Total life's blessing to build, own, sail, and love the boat your in.... She's a beauty mate. Cheers.

Gran y estupendo trabajo,saludos.

Just beautiful

very pretty boat

she's beautiful!

Lovely little boat.

What a lovely guy ! All the emotions of the build so beautifully expressed.

Beautiful

My wife is beginning to curse that doggie with all the My Classic Boat videos I've been binging! Takes her unawares each onset. Good onya!

Warms my heart to see a South African boat built to this quality. Dudley Dix, we miss you old man.

Comes in 19, 21 and 25 foot versions. The 19 footer is also available in GRP as the Cape Cutter 19.

We done. "Wooden have it any other way". Gotta love wooden boats. Fair winds!

yet another great vid. interesting that she's a plywood construction.

I finally subb'd, great little stories and a look at some pretty great boats.

Cool!

that's a nice boat ,,,,

Looks like about the perfect boat. A 21 footer is about as big as a man can sail solo, and yet big enough to handle some really heavy seas. Always wanted to build one but doubt if I have enough years left to pull it off.

I love it. 🎉

Interesting family of boats. There is a 19 ft version called the Cape Cutter 19 made in GRP. Dudley Dix can sell you plans for a plywood Cape Cutter 19 and has just required the right to supply plywood Cape Cutter 19 kits. The manufacturer of the GRP Cape Cutter 19 has acquired the right to manufacture a GRP Cape Henry 21. The ply CH21 can also be built with bilge keels and Dudley Dix has plans to introduce a bilge keel option for the ply CC19. There are even 25 ft and 30 ft+ versions of this boat.

what a good woman will manage to put up with.. Clearly a proud man looking back on his project .

lovely and smart she be.
