Be inspired and build a wooden boat

Join me as I meet Trevor and Steve and their beautifully hand crafted Iain Oughtred designed Lapstrake dinghys. A Fulmar and a Tammie Norrie, both will give you the inspiration you need to give it a go yourself, and a look at the plans.

Yes they were fantastic and just shows what is possible, I'm very jealous I didn't build mine cheers Paul

[@pauljessome5718]

Loved watching this video . Long Winded is lovely and the builder gets my respect. I just finished building a 16 foot skiff, outboard powered. I agree, constructing the hull is the most rewarding aspect , having to conquer varios compound curves. The skiff is easily converted to sail by installing a trunk and center board. You guys sure enjoy all aspects of saiiling. Wonderful Paul in Canada

A very uplifting video, thanks. Tammie Norrie is what Shetlanders call the puffin bird. Loved all the boats on this video. Seven years ago I helped build a St Ayles skiff another Iain Oughtred design for Burghead Coastal Rowing Ckub in north east Scotland. The Scottish Coastal Rowing Association has a very good website showing over 100 boats built to this design.

Hello again Paul. Another delicious video from my favorite you tuber. Beautifully edited and sound recording. So good of you to work with other traditional boat sailers, showcasing their crafted vessels . I live in Newcastle, so I know Lake Macqurie well. I used to sail at Lake Maquarie Yacht Club in tbe 70,s then Windsurfing in the 80,s and On my Compass Careel 18 in the 20,s. So I know the Northern end of the Lake quite well. I,am shure you will enjoy the top part of the lake, quite different to the southern end. More built up but quite diverse. Plenty of good launching spots. I look foward to seeing a future video of you in the northern end. Also I really enjoyed the video of your wonderfuly crafted maritime objects and photos / drawings in your Maritime Mancave / Boatshed . I myself have a collection of Model Lighthouses, Ships in Bottles , Working Model Boats that I have made myself , like you have done, and Restored Marine Navigation Lamps, lit up at night. So keep up your wonderful videos and thank you Paul. Ps: Roger Barnes has put out another video, yippy ! and I have just bought his book, The Dingy Cruising Companion. I must say, it is the best ever book I have bought on the subject . I can recomend it to all of your viewers. I easyly bought it on eBay au $ 36 inc post. Ian T.

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks mate thanks for your support, can you suggest a good boat ramp that has a good turning circle and parking. I'd love to see your memorabilia send me some photos [e-mail]

Another great video. Beautiful boats 😍. Fabulous work by Trevor and Steve. I’m actually just back from a weekend sailing and camping at Lake Macquarie with 6 others with dinghies of various shapes and sizes. Sailed my little 50+ year old timber Heron from Summerland Point up past Point Wolstoncroft and around Pulbah Island, an overnight stop and then back to Summerland Point.

[@SailingKateLouise]

I was going to join you but couldn't make it, but will do next time. Did you camp on Pulbah? Thanks for watching

[@TerryBrownMechEng]

@@SailingKateLouise would have been great to have you with us. Maybe next time. We’re all keen for more sailing on Lake Macquarie and Myall Lakes. We stayed overnight right at the end of Point W, others on their boats, me in a little tent onshore (which is probably not really allowed, but as I’m not set up for camping onboard yet it was my only option). It was a terrific weekend.

Beautiful boats! Congratulations! I've build two plywood boats designed by Australian Michael Storer: sailing canoe BETH and Goat Island Skiff which are a bit simpler and easy to build due to flat bottomed sharpie skiffs proveniency - the best for a first time builder and both are brilliant in sailing also!

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks for watching, you will probably agree that it's not too daunting to build a boat and incredibly rewarding. I hope to see more on the water Cheers Paul

[@robhosailor]

@@SailingKateLouise I agree but, I believe that if we are not sure about our skills, we should search for and choose a project that is simple to build. Building a boat should be a challenge to our measure, but mostly it should be fun and enjoyable!

[@SailingKateLouise]

Thanks

[@daleskidmore1685]

Enjoyed that very much Paul. Nice interviews and lovely boats. I'm hoping to start on my Ilur build soon, began preparing last year, but stuff got in the way with other projects. About the only thing the guys didn't mention is that you need twice as much room as you would think for the build, unless you prefabricate the parts. Then it is just half as much again for storage, lol. I know you have just about the most perfect boat, but do you harbour any dreams of making one yoursef?

[@SailingKateLouise]

I don't have the space but I do love buildings things maybe one day thanks for watching

[@daleskidmore1685]

@@andyjarman4958 Hey Andy, only just seen your comment. I'm in Kent, SE UK. I'm back on the project again, but still on the "small stuff" before the build proper. Lockdown is finished here and I'm getting a lot of work in again, so progress is slow. I'll check out your channel and see if I can see how you are doing. Keep on keeping on.

[@clinkerboats]

Lovely video and very inspirational. We're interested in the Tammie Norrie design but maybe the 15ft version. Can we ask, would it be possible for two adults to camp on board a Tammie Norrie, using a boom tent?

[@SailingKateLouise]

Hi, the answer is no it's too narrow! Often people sleep below the thwarts on the floor but you need clearance to sleep on your side and there isn't enough room on the Tammie Norrie. If you want to build I would suggest a Fulmar, Pathfinder(cuddy cabin) of even a Llur. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul

[@clinkerboats]

@@SailingKateLouise Thanks Paul. I spoke with Alec Jordan of Jordan Boats and he said the same thing. I had also been considering an Ilur and will look again at her as well as the Fulmar. Thanks again, Bill

Hey? Tell Steve: there's no reason he couldn't build a cabin on his boat? He could even build one that's removable? If he's not interested in permanent modifications. Also some boats have pop-up type tents....he might consider that option too? Bend some bows across the beam and stretch some canvas or vinyl on? That said, amazing job on the boats! They're absolutely BEAUTIFUL! 😁👍

Well Jono most people just follow the plans and build a full size boat and once they've achieved that they then go on and build a model. But they are different skill sets....models are very fiddly. Thanks for watching, cheers Paul
