Sailboat building timelapse, 16footer, part 1

Made my first video for my lovely boat.
Started building her in July 2013
but soon after i had to go to army and that's why it's taking so long. Video is about work i have done over 1,5 year. Alot of video material is lost but atleast one half of everypart should be there :)
Without cabin, just daysailer.
16footer, 5meter sailboat
sloop sails
In the end covered with epoxy and is waiting for warmer weathers again.
Interested in plans: www.svensons.com/boat/?p=SailB...
PART 2: • Sailboat building time...
PART 3: • Sailboat building time...
Any questions or suggestion, let me know!!

Wow, great to see your project, thank you for sharing. I really like that you family was helping also. You will all enjoy sailing her when’s she is completed!

[@sergeantcrow]

Wow ! I just found 'Petrel' plans an hour ago.. then came across your vid.. You have done a great job. I am a carpenter yet a little shocked at how much time and work is involved. Thank you very much Kristo Martin for sharing with us...

Well, in video about 40Hours. but alot halfs are missing and making the material for boat frame. so alot of hours :P From august 2013 to november 2014, but i didn't have much time that i could really build continuously

Good afternoon! Please tell me, of what kind of wood you have frames? And you treated them with something or not? Thank you!

Hi, i used pine everywhere, and everything is treated with epoxi and all critical places also with fibercloth

Tere! Great video and grate boat. I`m planing to build myself a sailboat too, but I know very little about boatbuilding. Maybe you have some tips on what to start with. 4 to 5 meters long boat made out of plywood is what I have in my mind. No deckhouse obviously. Have no idea about width and depth. And how do i know the estimated draft and is it even relevant? Hope you spare some advice to your downstair neighbor with 6 toes :D

[@kristomartin1727]

Hi and thanks =) First of all you definitely should find plans for yourself and if possible instructions also. internet is full of them, free and for money. i find my plans from here: www.svensons.com/boat/

[@AD-jz8nw]

I think you did a great job at making a cool boat. Like that you used non Marine plywood. I think marine plywood is overrated.

[@geebee3d]

Yes, YOU might THINK it’s overrated, but in reality real marine plywood is superior to exterior grade plywood. Reason being is that marine ply is made from plies of equal thickness, has no voids, and will not delaminate. It is also far nicer to work with, especially if you need to plane the wood. Can a boat be built with regular plywood? Of course. It will float, row, sail, and all of that jazz. But in order to make it last for a good long while, it will need extensive maintenance and upkeep compared to a mar be ply boat. Maybe you like sanding and refinishing every few years? Even a simple boat requires an investment in time, labor, and materials. For my money, skimping on plywood to save a few bucks is not worth it to me. For anyone thinking of building a boat, if you have to get on the water NOW, by all means, go to your local orange or blue store, get some ply, and have at it. Just know that there are limitations to using cheap materials. The voids in exterior ply can cause panels to break, the face veneers are often so thin that they are easily sanded through, and the stuff is heavy, so the performance of the finished boat is lessened. A sheet of 1/4 exterior fir ply is around $20 a sheet, and some 1/4” BS1088 Meranti Marine ply is around $50 a sheet. Your first boat will most likely use two to three sheets of plywood. So you save 60-90 dollars in plywood. Now, that seems cool, until you find out that you need to sheath your entire fir ply boat in fiberglass cloth in order to prevent checking of the plywood. For an average size beginners boat, say 14 feet, the cost to do that is around $20 for the glass, and $50 (at least) for the epoxy. Add $70 to your build costs. All of the sudden, you increased your workload, and spent MORE money than if you used good wood. With all the time and effort it takes to build a boat, I think y’all owe it to yourselves to use quality materials. Marine ply is lighter, easier to work with, requires less maintenance, and is prettier than exterior fir ply. After the two years it takes you to build your boat, you won’t miss that extra $60 you spent on wood, and you will like your finished boat even more due to the fact that you can spend more time using it and less time maintaining it. Note, the above is not meant to discourage would be boat builders, but rather inform them of the realities of boat building, time, and material cost. Like I said, if you want to try boat building, use the cheap stuff. You will get a boat that lasts a few years, and will be fun to build and use. If you are looking to build a boat you can pass on to your grandchildren, use the good stuff.

[@nickbutler9831]

Can you tell my how you bent the woodmen panels and if they were ply wood

[@kristomartin1727]

Hei, for outerbody i used 9mm ( 3/8inch) birch plywood, because it was quite thin and long distance i could bend it without any assistance or steam. and deck (you can see it in part 3) is 6mm (1/4inch) ply.

[@nickbutler9831]

Kristo Martin I didn't expect a responce actually but thank you! I actually want to make my own sail boat one day I just need alot of wood

[@davidkasday5484]

Nice job but if you had built it with the "stitch and glue" method, you could have completed it in 1/5th the time and the build would have been MUCH easier.

[@jerrymarshall2095]

Yep no hillbilly build here,got the shed built then the boat.looks good

[@Jackcaos]

in the Plans, the top measurement for frame 2 is missing, how did you do it?

[@bananabred1687]

Been wanting to build this boat since the early 70s! I have a set of plans somewhere that have the missing dimension. I won't have access to them for 1 1/2 - 2 months. Will try to post the info here when I Can. Has anyone ever seen the full plans (Craft Print Plan No. 106 )?

[@bananabred1687]

The missing dimension for frame #2 is 34in on the plans I have. They are available from "The Shellback Library".

[@joaocarvalho1424]

How did you build the frame stand that supports the frame system??

[@kristomartin1727]

Hi, The frame backbone is described in plans (top of the page 5 or page 33 if you look bottom numbers), and then just level it and stick it to the ground :D You can also find my building pictures here: foorum.kipper.ee/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8653

[@joaocarvalho1424]

Wow! Many thanks! I´ve spent this week, converting inches to milimeters, (metric system), finding all the frame sizes and angles. Is that ok to cover the boat with diferent pieces of plywood instead of one piece only? ( the sizes for example) That is because i can't find such a long sheet of plywood...

[@joaocarvalho1424]

I noticed that you made the deck beams flat. It is just temporary or a new design?

[@kristomartin1727]

Deck beams flat? all beams have deck curve. or what do you mean?

[@kristomartin1727]

Also spent alot of time converting all measurements. I had 1,5x3meter plywood i glued pieces together beforehand and then cut out one big piece and put it in place.
