ontong java 

Not only was this a great build & adventure. Bravo 🤩 But this video reminded me of one of the best songs ever written & I thank you for that. Southern Cross RIP David Crosby

A compliment like that from James Wharram (legend RIP 🙏) is really something. But I like a quote attributed to Hans even better; "Just be brave and do it."

I wish Hans would post more more on the Ontong Java

Magnificent vessel, Sir!

Kalimera This is a beautiful video This is a boat i full in love from the first time i saw it. Haans your an inspiration

Hans.. U heeft een mooie boot!! :):)

Hansi, you did a fantastic job, you are a true sailor. The "Hunderts and Thousands of Dollars" of other peoples money spent James mentioned at the end (actually a lot more) applies only to the Wharram World.

I love this boat, I'm from the Torres Strait Islands up to tip of Australia inbetween before PNG. My people use to sail carved out canoe. Please tell who sings this song, nice song 👍🔥

maravilloso

This is why RU-vid was invented? I wish I had a boat like this for when the world collapses> >??

besutiful boat

Such a beautiful boat :)

I'm curious. How much Sail Area does your boat have? It looks to me to be about 100 sm, with about 75 sm, for the main and 25 sm for the jib. Am I close?

Where do you find planks that long?

did you pay royalties for your use of the song "Southern Cross" in this video?

I LOVE YOU

Javanese and Ontong Javanese one brother

Do you have plans available for her?

Is Chinese tung oil suitable for your deck timbers?

Did Japan invade Ontong Java during WW2 ?
