SHARPIE PART 1 - RESTORING A CLASSIC WOODEN SAILING DINGHY

Gordon takes on the restoration of a classic original Sharpie designed dinghy and discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew? ***Are you a wooden boat enthusiast? Have a look at some of the great varnish offers that are out there: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

As a teenager my friend Craig Walker and I built an 8 foot Sabot from half a,sheet of 3/4 plywood and a full sheet of 1/4 inch plywood. We fitted her with a 17' 7 " mast and my mom sewed a 78 Sq ft sail for her. Lots of hiking out was needed as we did laps around Craig's sister and her pal sailing a heavy catamaran on Salton Sea CA back in the 1960's :)

Horaaah Tom and crew.GREAT reporting again!

[@markbird1965]

Great viewing having been around boats most of my life. I recal so many classic boars steadily fading away on some pontoon because their owners had gotten too old to maintain and sail them. A few were virtually given away but even less were sympathetically restored. Imputus and self honesty with regards to costs in both time and finances are essential for these lovely things to survive.....

Drinking on the water. The Capt with just an open container would be hauled off in handcuffs in the States.

Please do follow-ups, where are they now?

[@daleskidmore1685]

Am I right in thinking that the series showed several projects each episode? I remember this boat as well as Keryl, but not sure I ever saw the complete series.

[@BoatYardBuilds]

Dale Skidmore yes there are 3 more boats after this one.

[@mallenkennelsuk5854]

Could you fit an outboard to this?

[@garrettfalls7953]

Nope, go to any sailing regatta or Wednesday night club racing anywhere, all drinking.

600 $ for that junk, oh its a lovely classic .....so fucking what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andremarais2706]

Restoring a nice dinghy. Narrative sounds like hyperboly as if it is emergency heart surgery. Like the topic. Over the top drama, not so much.

[@ross82]

Andre Marais you haven’t heard an enthusiastic person for a while have you?

[@gretschclassic]

and it's hyperbole.

This guy needs to do some research first. From this video it's clear that he has no clue what he's looking at or what to do.
