Raising the Stern Post - SAILCARGO INC.

Watch as the SAILCARGO team builds and raises the ship's stern post. The assembly took several months to piece together with many different components and it took the entire team to lift this several ton structure up into the air and onto the keel. This magnificent part of the ship is where the rudder will attach along with the remaining frames. The center line of the ship is now almost complete which with the length of Ceiba now visible from end to end. We are very excited about this and hope that you enjoy watching!

Had to come back and watch these fine artisans working in massive timbers with mostly hand tools and modern methods. Skills brothers of the wood.

[@francosporto3c]

Considering the dimensions and the weight of these tropical timbres, the job was outstanding. The peace’s all fitted so well suggesting it’s an easy job. It’s NOT !! Congratulations to the whole team out there, you all keep my wooden boat feelings alive.

I was mesmerized watching the mighty stern post go in. Intricate joinery on a massive scale.

[@onogrirwin]

Damn I thought Tally Ho was the biggest on YT. I could not support the idea of using wooden boats powered by sail for modern commercial purposes more. Really glad I found this channel!

[@mikewalrus4763]

Nice to see the old style done properly - blocks, tackles and manpower - all together! It's been a long time since I did any of that style and then it was with timbers of half the size!

[@RobertFay]

*I sure would have enjoyed doing the fitting work. [precision and accuracy of measurement & tool-work is everything, but my guess is that the sense of the timber's swelling per the changes in humidity was more important than many have the instinct/experience to accomplish so the first assembly works... so a big Wow! for you guys]*

[@rickvangunten4800]

Coming along nicely. Superb Craftmanship. Can't wait to see her in the water...............>

Looks like just a few more frames till completion...cant wait to see it all framed up

[@texacola]

Amazing video production and awesome work as always by you and your craftspeople! I love watching these big lumps of amazing hard wood coming together into a boat of this size. Well done to everyone!

[@bartonrobinson4266]

The worries you all have are much more complex than a viewer like myself will ever be able to comprehend. So thrilled to see all the hard work and dedication to this build come together. Beautiful and a majestic vessel it will be. Thank you one and all for this right of passage, it's very humbling to see it make the headway it is, thank you !

This will sail before your neibors.

[@billlippincott3937]

Very cool!!! Wish I was young again so I could help.

[@leotard2536]

Really makes you think about how they did this back in the day. And sometimes on larger ships, even.

[@benburger1887]

I can't stop thinking about how armies would build hundreds of these ships over a winter just kinda whenever they needed to. blows my mind

[@kandk920]

And doing it without all the modern power tools like chainsaws and radial saws.

[@DuncanMargetts]

Astonishing work. Well done. That slide hammer at the end was genius!

[@esweet100]

Amazing workmanship on such a huge scale.

[@mikeskelly2356]

I used to make wooden molds that required a lot of 'hogging out' with chisels and drills. It was a slow process just removing the bulk of the wood before the finish work could begin. So I turned an old chisel shaft and chucked it in my hammer drill. Set on hammer only it ripped through the hardest wood in jig time with little effort. I even made an extension for those deep cavities.

[@gregmirr]

An amazing project the teamwork , and quality of the fit is blows me away . Very dangerous lifting the heavy pieces but you got it done and now the next step can't wait to see her cutting thru the waves go go go !

[@ethanmcnary9119]

Why did Sailcargo decide to be structured as a corporation rather than some other cooperative and more equitable format for business? Your organization seems like a wonderful opportunity to be fully operated and shared by all of its workers. Thanks!

[@petlahk4119]

Also, is it really possible to have a sustainable ship if its used timbres from the cutting down of the South American rainforests, even if those timbres would have gone to waste anyway? And is it possible for any corporation to be sustainable, considering that they're all based upon exploitation? Seems to me that there is more sustainability coming out of SampsonBoatCo and These Guys (thefalmouthpilotcutter.co.uk/) than this corporation. Here is Leo's video about the Pellew: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ol7Sh32OfNyHbM0

[@ChimeraActual]

Awesome job, hat's off to you. Did I miss where you installed the stopwaters? Makes one think of past shipbuilding around the world. Essex Massachusetts comes to mind, a small town full of yards and skilled workers, building, mostly, schooners for the downeast fisheries. For about 100 years starting around 1820 they build about 1400 wooden boats from 50 to 200 tons. No power tools until A. D. Storey installed a turbine in the tidal river to power a ship saw around 1900, which allowed them to turn out a schooner a month for a while.

You should save the scrap wood pieces and sell them for $5.00 each as a souvenir for those interested in owning a piece of sailing history !

[@jaclarkful]

How Awesome! What an amazing project! Do you think there will ever be a Ceiba 2.0?

[@littlepastelkitten]

I have a question. are you using bronze or iron fastenings? and what are the benefits of either.

[@billp1954]

I've been going through The American-Built Clipper Ship book and the ship's there have iron reinforcement on the inside of the frames but under the ceilings. Will you be doing something similar (except maybe not iron)?

[@alvessail4718]

Great work! But why don't U use an endless chain instead of all those people and rope?

[@Elvis-lw7vy]

Neat

[@meadmaker4525]

Were those steel bolts? If so, she'll suffer from iron sickness and rot. Hope they were silicon bronze and I was just seeing things. Beautiful to see her coming together, though. Can't wait to see the planking going on.

[@Cameron-ur2tk]

how far away is the water from the boat?

Around 150ft' at high tide

Ceiba today, the pyramids tomorrow. This is an amazing project and I love your videos. Great job! As the cliche goes... if I was thirty years younger... But one small request... if you are going to show technical drawings ( which I and many others Iike I’m sure ) please show them for more than 2 seconds and dial back the twirly graphical effects. As a pro photographer I appreciate the work and the creativity you inject into your videos. As a boat builder ( on just a slightly smaller scale... ) I’d love just a few more seconds to study them and understand a little better what I’m looking at.... : )

[@waterboy8999]

Basically a bit bigger than a weekend skiff, nothing to it.

[@meadmaker4525]

I know it's a bit moot, as you've already cut the cove for the rudder, but if you ever have to do that kind of cove work again there's a trick to using the saw at an oblique angle to cut the cove completely in a few passes. I found a demo on KZbin and included the link so you can see what I'm talking about. You'd just have to build a quick sled to keep the saw blade at the right angle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIfPp6qAmtGtb9U

[@sailcargo]

Hello there Meadmaker, thanks for sharing! We are familiar with that way of cutting coves, actually one of our team members, Manu, was just using this technique on our large sliding table saw. There would be no reasonable way to move the sternpost timbers over a table say, so I feel like what Dylan and Guillaume opted for is essentially the same idea, it just so happened that we had a blade that fit perfectly perpendicular. We could have used the original, larger, beamsaw blade on an angle, of course. The reason Dylan and Guillaume opted to make kerf-cuts and chisel out the majority of the timber by hand is due in part to the volume, and in part to how dense this tropical hardwood really is. I just went and spoke with them, and they just shook their heads and said ''The saw never would have gotten through it.'' (PS. We do re-sharpen our radial blades, and do have carbide blades on site.) All the best, Danielle

[@meadmaker4525]

@@sailcargo - Hey there, Danielle. I've handled some mean hardwoods in my time, dulling freshly sharpened blades in minutes (pecan, cocobolo, zebrano, etc.), so I can only imagine what it's like having to chew through huge pieces of tropical hardwoods down there. The blade sharpening must be never-ending! I hope no one felt I was criticizing their technique, just offering another possible approach. At any rate, it sounds like the guys are familiar with the technique I mentioned and it just would not have worked with that stern timber. Fair enough. You all have my respect working in that heat with massive timbers made of uncooperative wood to make what I'm sure will be a beautiful, and practical, ship. I'm really enjoying seeing her come together. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to respond!! :-)
