Those marquetry kayaks were unreal! Life goals for sure...

[@dwtrksvc]

Those were truly works of art. I'd be afraid to use one.

[@rod8823]

Thanks so much for the boat show - some lovely 'classics' there 🙂

[@New.Adventures.Sailing]

@3:04 Rage! Such a sweet boat! Love the curved pipe berth idea. It was tough to get on, the crowds this year...@10:12 Sir Issac is a sweet machine. The owners are wonderful people too.

[@TheDuracellProject]

we must have gotten lucky. We were the only ones there when we went to see it. we had a great time meeting them and chatting. What a boat.

Between you two and Sailing Magic Carpet you guys make Port Townsend look like a great place for boat lovers to visit. Thanks for taking us around the boat show.

I live in Rhode Island, but I can grasp the very cool boat vibe of Port Townsend. Great video!! DD

That was so much fun ….thanks

[@Tomm9y]

Interesting to see such a variety of wooden boats, a lot of work goes into maintaining them. Instead of the overhang perhaps some inverse sloping forward windows would achieve the same thing with an additional benefit of better visibility at night. Interesting to hear about the old Distant Shores Southerly 48, a great boat being enjoyed.

[@Brian-os9qj]

Beautiful stuff crew. Thx for taking us along.

[@jimedson3853]

I too enjoyed the Wooden Boat Festival and your presentation about Duracell too. A lot of amazing craftsmanship displayed. Thanks for the video.

Amazing work, I've been watching it all come together since the very start

Who brings their boat to show and then doesn’t allow cameras? Seems kind of silly.

[@dcallan812]

It looks so nice with all the sails up at the end.

[@patrickgilhooly8340]

Would LOVE to see much more of any boat show. Thank you for what you did show. Those kayaks are works of art TOO good to use, have to hang them up in Living room. Nice you have a boat to Captain.

Nice to see you having some time out... and looking relaxed.

[@TheDuracellProject]

yes, we had a little TOO much fun. Duracell got neglected for a few days!

[@darrylmcleman6456]

GREAT STUFF!!! I saw part of a totem pole at the begining of this vid. There are many totem poles in Victoria on southern Van.Isle.and probably throughout British Columbia.Great to see the boats too!!!

[@shanespring2669]

Thanks for the cool content. I appreciate the effort you put in to show your journey

[@PN_48]

Love the dog house brow. We did one on our steel ketch and it made a HUGE difference when it rained👍

[@sailingaqualibra4848]

Rage is an awesome and insanely fast boat, and Steve did a beautiful job building her. He was generous enough to let me sleep on his boat at the end of the Pacific Cup because I had raced to Kaneohe Bay on Mas Rapido, an Olson 30. I'd love to see him and the both again!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Cool! Yes we loved rage.

[@steveraleigh100]

Wooden boat festival. Just heaven.

Epic good time I need to go 🍻🍻🍻🤘

[@HereCHOCYchocy]

Yeah I like the Discovery 'brow. Although I don't think I could ever trust a wooden boat, I'd want to fibreglass the hull, at least the outside of the hull. And I liked the editing 'All the wooden boats strut their stuff 👍

[@rollinrock6696]

Incredible

[@richardsiddon610]

Best time of year here in the UK too..

[@ZulFikar-sn1vr]

A brow was designed into our launch to keep us dry from waves sweeping up the window, when we were sitting on the cabin top. It sent the water sideways, when the bow dipped into a wave.

[@basicinfoplaybook]

Rad Episode! I saw Coyote a while ago, then while watching Aladino's build- I found you guys. Now, I look forward to your new episodes. I dig your raw honesty, lack of pretension, and the down to earth vibes. Also, because you guys are so quirky. Im down w/ how quirky you guys are. lol *quirky in a very good way! Cheers from Boise!

Okay - 239th LIKE posted at 1:42 - I think you mean "Wooden Art & Boat Festival" - amazing craftsmanship on display... 2113th Phantom Shipmate view continues...

[@TheDuracellProject]

yes, the craftsmanship is incredible

[@MrCrabbing]

I would have loved to have a wooden fishing boat but I have ended up with GRP and steel ones, the insurance, cost of timber and craftmanship are too expensive here in the UK now but I have worked on some fine wooden vessels in the past Port Townsend sure looks like a fine place to set up home.

[@chasingsunsets380]

I have owned a few wooden boats. Nothing big, most were 12 to 19 feet. They have their own unique maintenance issues you have to just be aware of. However they are beautiful if taken care of. Would love to find about a 16 plus foot sailing dorry to play around on the Columbia river. However I think that would be a 2 year building project. Great video.

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

8:10 - hmmm... seems "Magic Carpet" is a 'ketchy' name for sailboats, eh? Wonder if y'all have crossed paths with you-know-who. Thanks for taking the break from your own project to film and share this very cool event. "Cheers!"

@@TheDuracellProject Have you ever handled a high speed sled like Duracell in big wind and waves? Must be a big learning curve for most sailors, especially cruising yacht sailors. Big seas in North Pacific during a Clipper race: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aonVlKt6Z7BgeaM

[@lenwhatever4187]

When I think of wooden boats, my first thought is plank on frame. They look really strong with big, beefy, close spaced frames and thick planks. Really these things show the weakness of the construction method, it is all about the small fasteners being both great in number and having a greater area/depth of timber so they don't pull out. They also suffer from constant racking. Very beautiful to look at, nice to ride in, can last many years and maintenance methods are well known. However, I would not buy or build one because there are better methods available now. I noticed that many of the boats looked at were cold mold or plywood based with fiberglass covering. Certainly for one off building this would be the method I would choose, the frames can be father apart or non-existent (bulkheads can do the job) giving better interior space while still being stronger. If looking for a hull to upgrade... fiberglass would be the way to go. I would probably use plywood for any structural base but still coat it with FG. However the foam you are using on Duracell looks just as good and maybe lighter as well. If I was paying to have a hull built, I might choose metal just because that is most common in this neck of the woods. I have something against sending my money out of the country or even away from the area I live in :) Yes wood looks so nice.... I'll leave that for the interior.

[@TOMCAT5.5149]

I wanted too move there .

[@dwtrksvc]

I can appreciate wooden boats but I definitely don't have the patience to maintain one.

[@TheDuracellProject]

me neither!

I'm curious if you liked the dodger setup on Discovery? Also, you guys should try and get out to the Annapolis Sailboat show if you haven't been. Love your videos!

[@TheDuracellProject]

loved it!

[@Breennan]

You've prolly already thought of this, but you should try to contact Duracell Batteries and see if you can get them to help sponsor some of the refit. They sponsored the original boat and you're not renaming it as of yet. Everytime you say the boat's name you're giving the company free PR. You video's are great and you'd def be doing them a service. Go get paid!

[@TheDuracellProject]

we'd love that, but have not had any success getting in touch with people at Duracell.

[@777rogerf]

@ Brannan High: Duracell, was designed and built for a prestigious race sponsored by big-name companies with deep pockets, but a few sailing channels have attracted support from smaller marine equipment firms, so why not The Duracell Project? The question is, at what stage?

[@Breennan]

@@777rogerf I'm not suggesting that Durracell foot the bill for the entire refitt or even that they are obligated to. They did however spend the modern day equivelant of like $2-3 mil to build the thing. The fact that someone wants to keep it alive and maintain the name is awesome for them. They get more good PR and name recogonition and Duracell can keep their mobile bill board afloat almost indefinetly. Even just a license agreement for the name where they pay them a set stipend every month that they maintain the name of the boat and continue to produce KZbin content. A couple hundred/thousand bucks a month is barely a line item in a PR budget for a company like Duracell (that is owned by Berkshire Hathaway btw). Great publicity for very little actual invetment imo.

[@amunderdog]

Duracell is getting a Mizzen mast? Maybe i misunderstood.

I have been watching a lot of posts by Dick Beaumont from Kraken Yachts, and I thought of an insane challange for you guys, that is, building an integral keel for Duracell. That would be the mother of all lamination jobs, to say the least. And, a rudder protected by a skegg is also something to be considered if you guys really want to venture out on this boat safely. This post is sobering kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6LJaGSJfZqJa80

One of the things about following a channel is you do get to follow the life of those on it. I think a trip to a wooden boat show adds variety to the content. Yes I am very interested in watching how you develop Duracell into a cruiser, albeit a very fast cruiser. Keep it up,it is fun to watch.
