Sage advice for sure. Especially the need to sleep on it. Thank you Mark.

Excellent info. Living on cape cod, I'm surprised I dont come across more used wooden boats for sale. I guess I'm a good few decades behind that era... Anyway, this'll be great advice if I ever find a used one before I start building my own.

many good point, however not looking at the bilge and any fittings on the inside?
@Nomadboatbuilding Жыл бұрын
I mentioned the frame to keel connections and through hull fittings so it’s implied that you look everywhere. Bear in mind that my focus is primarily on small boats where bilges are rarely hidden. But absolutely yes, you make a good point.

I have begun what will be as very long rebuild on a similar ,albeit considerably older boat (100+). My “Jenny Diver “ is a sharpie ketch of 35 feet, carvel and crossed planked. My wife thinks it might make a good planter at this point. Sorry I can’t make the patreon show. It looks to be an interesting project. All my pennies are going to Jenny. Looking for decking insights is what brought me here in the first place.

Decking insights…well the strongest is probably glassed over ply. Put teak over that and the durability goes up along with expense. Traditional laid caulked decks are probably the longest lasting but most prone to leaking. Canvas over t&g planks is probably the best watertight and cost effective but prone to canvas crapping out. Using something rot-proof like sunbrella instead of canvas improves that. Of course those need to be painted and are prone to wear. The secret to making that the most long lasting I think is a proper flax tarred ships felt underneath. Not the paper based stuff used in residential construction. Maybe cold moulded is the best of them all but rarely considered.

This is David, the owner. You do know that Mark has built 125 boats over 30 years, of more different types than you can think of. Trained at one of North America's two best wooden boat building schools. It seems very likely that he will show you something on the Patreon series that will save you a good deal more than $3.00.

@@Nomadboatbuilding Hey thanks. I think, I will be going in the traditional way. I have a large (3’+ ) pine tree , knocked down by a hurricane that should produce enough quarters sawn wood for the deck. The dream is a pine sprung deck with teak covering boards and king plank. The next real step is putting up a plastic covers shed.

@@davidford694 good on you for supporting an excellent boat weight. Would you call your boat a sharpie? My beloved old wreck only has a few bits of plywood added to her and what epoxy and fiberglass there is was much more modern attempts a fixes. My intention is to go back to original as much as is practicable.

Nice summary, I used to do commercial building surveys and if it looks like a pig it probably is, and sometimes you need to wipe away the lipstick.
