This was a reply to a comment below, but I thought I'd pin it here, so anyone interested can see my opinion on the morals of rebuilding/modifying a piece of History; Any shipwright will tell you that when you make repairs to a boat, you very often make slight changes. If it's a big job, you might end up changing the shape of the hull slightly, to remedy damage or deformation caused by any number of things. You might find original features that are not working in practice (which may or may not have been in the original design), and you may make a change or an improvement there. Later on, somebody else may change it again! Thus, over time, parts are replaced and a wooden boat evolves - and that can be a positive or negative evolution (which is subjective in itself), depending on the skill and experience of the people working on the boat. Imagine, for a moment, Albert Strange's reaction if he knew that I have identified these defects in the shape of the hull, and decided to keep them, for the sake of history. He would turn in his grave! Wooden boats are about functional beauty, and although this boat's history is what drew me to her, her primary purpose is to be a functional sailing boat - and she will sail best, and look her prettiest, when her lines are bought back to the way she was designed. As for whether this is a rebuild or a restoration or a new boat - I would say I am extensively rebuilding her, but that does not make her a different boat. The ship of Theseus has been debated for centuries, but according to Lloyds of London, and all the shipwrights and respected sailors that I know, a ship that is rebuilt piece by piece, in the same place, is the same ship. If she was maintained all her life she may have nothing original left - I am simply catching up on 100 years of maintenance. The other angle, of course, is that this is just me doing what I want. If you disagree with how I'm doing it, that's fine. At least it makes for a good debate!

I totally agree with what you are doing Leo. In the world of classic cars a restored “barn find” is still considered to be an original, not a replica, if has has an i.d. tag. The chassis, body, engine, interior etc can (very often MUST ) be replaced but it is somehow considered “original restored”. Back to things nautical Admiral Lord Nelson’s ship HMS Victory was laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. Article here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Victory In 1922 !!! she was moored outside my house! After all that time and all those punishing battles did anyone ever think to say that because she was not as laid down that she was not Victory? No, of course not. I can see her from my window now but is she original? Old wooden boats are organic and will always be subject to rebuilds. Don’t let the sceptics get you down. I feel they just don’t understand 👍👍

@tomhutchins10466 жыл бұрын
My 2 cents . (1) Build the boat to the plans unless there is clear evidence that the builder made a change when originally built. (2) Include all details that were obviously part of the original build whether it is on the plans or not as in Cast braces curved and ribs fitted to the braces , Notches for ribs in the keel. Any dove tails running joints or details even if hard to reproduce. (3) Set some rules and stick to them even if its not convenient. (4) replace what wood needs to be replaced to make it a sea worthy craft just stick to the rules above. (5) Make practical physical progress every day. In my opinion this will result in a legitimate (restoration of the ship)

You become part of the history of the boat. It's the changes to the things we use over time that authenticate them, not keeping the object in museum condition. Also, it's good to see that all the comments that went something like, "I like how you young people are getting your hands in things!" have disappeared. Those comments are a bit condescending. You're obviously at least a journeyman professional boatbuilder.

My father was a loftsman at the Portsmouth navy yard in kittery Maine for over 40 years they had a floor over 600 feet long and 150 feet wide drawn on Rosen paper they start with the keel and design everything that had to fit inside the hull all the way to the top of the periscope just took about 3 years on their hands and knees at that point they would roll that paper up put a new piece of paper down turn the boat 90 degrees and start from Port to starboard taking approximately 2 years then they would build a submarine would take 4 years

Dear Leo, I find your work, enthusiasm and professional skills as a boat builder exceptional. When Tally Ho is ready you really have to start your own yard, I'm sure you will get enough assignments. One of the most important skills besides a boat builder that you need for a successful business are social skills, and you also have them. PPE is part of my business in Holland so i want to share this. There are 2 types of breathing protection; gas and vapor respirators and dust masks. Some basic knowledge about the dust masks: First off all use ventilator or vacuum to avoid dust on your workspace. Do not use Cool Flow valve while painting, water from your breath will drip on your painting. I think you know wood dust can be toxic while working on it. FFP1 3M with yellow elastic straps. * Protects against low non-harmful household levels of dust. * Can be used for hand sanding, drilling, hand sawing and cutting. FFP2 3M with blue elastic straps. * Protects against moderate levels of dust. * Can be used for plastering, machine sanding and machine sawing. FFP3 3M with red elastic straps. * Protects against higher (hazardous) levels of dust. * Can be used for handling hazardous powders such as those in the pharmaceutical industry. * Recommended when in doubt of protection needed against dust.

nrm swen 1 second ago Unbelievable ! I've been voyaging for 37 years now with my DownEast 32 from SF, CA to Mexico and South Pac, have built 3 home/cabins and all I can say is "what a project"! You have my admiration! What a wonderful career and life you have ahead of you with your drive. I'm almost 80 and respect you as a creative, high adventure individual! Thank you for sharing!!

Was brought here by James Wright.. Have gone back over a few back episodes and working my way up to date. I now have a better understanding of, and a healthy respect for the Shipwrights. They leave us Cabinet makers trailing behind. Especially from days gone by where they did not have the tools and tech we have today. Loving it and all praise to you and fellow helpers.
