Brilliant series, watched it twice, I’m going to have a go at building one myself thanks!

[@felixcat9318]

Thank you for this meticulous masterclass on the Stitch & Glue technique, your videos help to instil confidence in amateur boat builders. Your tutorial cuts through language barriers and enables viewers to see detail, technique, application and method, all in meticulous detail. In your little garage/boatyard, beautiful craft emerge, each crafted with care and attention to detail. Thank you for producing such excellent videos.

[@wulkie]

I am honored and humble! Thanks 🤗

[@activitatimontessori7135]

True that!

[@peaceknight5485]

This is quite a pro job. Well assembled and sturdy boat. Congratulations.

I’am really impressed. good job, captain!

Nice and fine job ! A big blue thumb for you !!! Can't wait to see this jewel on the water, go on !

I love the twin-toilets idea at the back of the boat 10:52. Great video and thanks for sharing. Your hands are made of gold.

[@wulkie]

Hehe, thanks! They are not toilets 😜

[@BigFiveJack]

You've got to be very happy with the whole experience! I applaud you most sincerely!!!

[@wulkie]

Thanks. Appreciate that 🤗

[@fabmanly1070]

Love watching your vids. Was wanting to build, but soon realised it was going to cost more to buy the tools than build the boat, so now I just watch.

[@wulkie]

Agree. Building is for the fun. If you want to sail you buy one

[@davidduffy9806]

Great quick & dirty build!

[@alldogsaregooddogs100]

Wow brother! This project looks to have taken you about 3 years this far. Such a beautiful creation. I appreciate your attention to every detail and the perfection you seek. Just awesome!

[@kennylaxague5528]

Very nice, Captain. Great job with the patterns - I hadn't seen some of these techniques before. I also hadn't seen two layers of bottom fiberglass at once! Keep plugging. My Navigator took 3 years, but It's not as pretty as your build (and I'm totally fine with that). Let me assure you, the first minute in your boat will make it all worthwhile.

[@wulkie]

Thanks for the message and glad you learned something new 😉

I'm building a sailboat 11 foot to cruise the ocean. This was one of the best video the show everything completely so fast

Thanks and good luck with your build. I would be interested to learn more about your boat. 11 foot is not very big...

Wow! This has to be one of the best series of videos I have seen on YT. Let alone on the topic of stitch and glue boat building. I am looking to do a very basic plywood boat (triloboat) but these videos are not only incredibly informative and succinct, but expertly produced. I applaud you on so many levels. Bravo!

Great vlog, even greater boat build. I have only built one boat in my life, but I admire anyone that takes on the task. You really put together a great little sailboat. Great idea for your steam box! You have a great pup and great way with the pigeon(squab). Shoot, I thought I’d get to see her finished and a maiden voyage. I’ll sub and look for more vlogs!

I want to build the old style European wood work/fishing boat. The v in the front and back with a little diesel in the floor close to the center. When you get ready for that let me know so I can watch you build it for me 😀

[@mucsalto8377]

what is an "old style European wood work/fishing boat"?

[@ddriskill1]

“Albin motor 021 in old Swedish boat relaxing Baltic ride” is a video with one similar to what I want except I don’t want the flat transom, I want canoe style.

ชอบดูครับอยากทําเป็นครับ

[@chrisbwidney]

Genius

[@richardhaubrick4558]

It looks great! How many hours do you think it took to finish?

[@wulkie]

I sterted 4 year ago but ony work a few hours a month. It is very labor intensive!. If you like to sail more than you like to build i suggest buying. This is not my first so i knew what to expect. For sure one more year for me to finish. If you really work hard and have the time tou can finish in 1 year

[@chrisarias3094]

If you are building a Highlander 16’, note: the hole in the center board box for the bolt is below the water line. I found out the hard way. I moved it up about 3” without any adverse effects to the balance of the boat.

[@wulkie]

Yes. That is a topic i did not yet tackle... would watertight epoxied bolts not work?

[@chrisarias3094]

I felt it would always be a challenge to keep it water tight, plus if it ever failed while on the water we would be swimming home. I found out at the first launch. A lot of water came in fast.

[@wulkie]

Thanks for the advice!

[@jameslippert3523]

Nice job. It didn’t appear that you overlapped seams in your glass during the layup.
