Than you. Nostalgic memories for me.

Superbe remise en état !! Congratulations for all ...

What a magnificent project. Respect to all involved.

Hardly a restoration or even a rebuild. Not a stick of the original boat remains in the boat. An excellent reproduction.

Very impressive. I hate to think how much it cost!! Were any of her original timbers re used, I wonder? It looked pretty much like a total new build to me.

Brilliant craftsmen but the fact is it is no longer the Barnabas, it's a facsimile, a lookalike conservation and preservation is one thing total restoration. Is just vandalism,

THIS BOAT WILL SINK. A PRIEST WAS NEARBY😮

Nice to see the work done on Barnabus. I spent 19 years at Penrose Sailmakers in Falmouth. The round orange coloured makers badge stitched on near the tack on the foresail look to be the old type we used to use. The badge design was changed at the end of the 90s, so I think the sails shown at the beginning are the ones we made for old Barnabus in the early/mid 90s. It's awesome to see that she's been restored and preserved for another century or so.

This boat seems vaguely similar to "Tally Ho", though this boat seems more serviceable and more of a work boat than "Tally Ho". It was restored by an Englishman in Port Townsend, Washington, USA. "Tally Ho is much more a piece of fine furniture like wood work that I would be afraid of damaging. I take it that your boat is christened "Barnabas" ? More of a work boat?

The amount of work and knowledge involved.....just wow...🤯

Who hired the guy that grabbed the steaming sheer strake with his bare hands then stood betwixt the plank and frame whilst it was being nailed?

I could watch this all day Brilliant 👍👍⛵⛵

Heb zelf de gelegenheid gehad om aan een houten Barkentijn te werken. Deze was in zijn soort uniek. Helaas gezonken en de middelen om weer opgeknapt te worden was er niet. De Elisabeth Smit is wel een boot waar ik vaak aan terug denk. Remenicances noemen de fransen het chique 🎉😊.

Funny, I grew up in Maine and the old photos look like my family pictures

Ни одно дело в мире не делается с такой чистотой помыслов, как строительство парусного судна

One person could constantly be seen all over the boat doing what seems like every job title and variety of skill. His name was Ak Rotpui. Obviously the hardest and most willing worker.

Also, as an instructional video, this is first class! Fitting the garboard is so interesting. At 1:38:54 you can see the "lever" of wood clamped to the aft end of the plank, in order to control the twist. The twist is phenomenal - it's often assumed that planks need to be steamed in order to allow them to bend, but it's getting the twist that's the real challenge.

A mark of a true professional is how sharp they keep their tools. Look at 1:21:32, where Rob Chudleigh is using a spokeshave to finish the end of a futtock. Razor sharp blade, no break-out on the far edge, freehand, and done in seconds. Wow!

What's interesting at 28:06 is that they have removed the metal pads from the G-clamps, and the ball end of the clamp screw sits in a depression in the wooden pad. Very clever. Otherwise you'd be trying to clamp up all the wooden pads at the same time as trying to stop them falling down between the clamps and the plank. If you're doing something in a hurry, everything needs to be located - there's no time for messing around! There's always so much to be learned seeing real experts at work.

Wow simply wow, fantastic story, brilliant skills, top class documentary ❤.

A very nice replica of the original Barnabas.

Not taking anything away from the workmanship performed here but perhaps a more appropriate title would be "The restoration of Barnabas' rudder, masts and rigging and the reproduction of Barnabas".

You guys should be wearing dust masks when sanding

I would have thought you would have a permanent steam box on site

Great work but electric chainsa2 better in the workshop

Hi there,and thanks for a well narrated look into the work shipwrights and ships carpenters do ,how ever id call this the reconstruction of Barnabas

Good work, even I wonder why not welding complete new tanks with zero risk afterwards. About the electrolyse corrosion between alu and stainless: theoretical true but, I never got any problems, it will occur but our lifetime is to short to worry about.😅 this takes some time. Keep on the wonderfull work on the ships, love it!

Great job ,great team It wa a joy to watch I'm sure you and Gina are very happy that that part of powering the new workshop is done.Congratulations from your friend across the border in Canada

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This popped up in my feed but I understand the video is from the 90's?

From Joshua Slocum's book, 1892, 'Sailing Alone Around the World'. To quote, about the Spray, "Now, it is the law in Lloyd's that the Jane repaired all out of the old until she is entirely new is still the Jane". First published 1900 ISBN 0-246-12207-2 Brilliant book, brilliant video; not a computer in sight.

Other than the frames, the planking, the stem, the stern knee, the stern post, the keel, the deck beams, and the deck, along with the interior, mast and sails, it's the original boat.

Beautiful workmanship everyone, Thanks to everyone who’s had a hand in saving Barnabus

Very enjoyable watching! Fantastic workmanship and a lot of hard work, well done to all those involved.

Good solid work done well. Nice boat also. These skills must not be lost even though modern methods are used, usually for financial reasons. You cannot beat good, honest craftsmanship.

Wow..high workmanship of a great team ! Keep the wooden vessels on the seas ! Keep the old knowledge alive abroard the mordern times ❤️

How to get this hull thanks

Beautiful craftmanship ! However, this project should be called "The Reconstruction of Barnabas ". I couldn't see any part of the original to be called a restoration.

I understand that with any project like this there are perimeters and compromises. This is a workboat (no interior), not a personal cruising boat, Barnabas will probably never race the Fasnet... Finishing this restoration in 9 months is impressive! It took me 7 years till I got my boat in the water. With that said I wouldn't have felt comfortable using steel or galvanized fasteners. Also, 5 tons of "loose" ballast in a knockdown/rollover would have been interesting. Personilly I would have insisted on ear/eye protection... I have ringing in my ears that never goes away from a foolish youth.

Wow! craftsmanship, amazing and a chainsaw excellent skills all round.

Love it and I want more fan Sweden 🇸🇪.

Just brilliant. What a hard working and skilled team of men. What a contrast to the useless gang of useless twats in Westminster and Cardiff.

i love your work , you are doing a great job

As I watch this over and over I’m just agog at their skill and the original builders who most likely didn’t have access to as many power tools.

Wonderful skills that is nice to see. However, I was reminded somewhat of Triggers broom.

I have a question why in the world would you use galvanized anything on a boat its been proven it will hold up to free water but it will not to salt water ?

magnifique /. naviguer sur de tels bateaux est meilleur que d'être cousin du roi , sourire,

Watching this brought tears to my eyes.........

2006 No wonder Bob looked young. Proper Job..
