I’m finding it very hard to believe that neither of you knew much of traditional boatbuilding, laminating with epoxy, woodworking, carving, etc. before you started this project. At least confirm there was gold-leaf experience! :-). Truly impressive across all expectation! Keep going! Cause, well, you’re too far Inuit to stop now.

Ah yes! Books go a long way and Matt has always sailed boat and owned them so picked up a bit there. Enough staring and observing how other boats are built also helps but we certainly jumped in the deep end! Yes can’t turn back now! Haha

I'm impressed by you jumping in at the deep end like that instead of trying a much smaller boat for a first go.

It's amazing to see all the very early photos and footage, before you started your channel. Your achievements so far are even more impressive, seeing everything come from just a lofting table. I actively avoid sailing - I've tried learning to sail and overcoming my fears for about 40 years to no avail - but I'm a house builder, and find your channel so inspiring and satisfying to watch. I'm even looking forward to watching you sail, and that's something I didn't think I'd feel 🤣

Great work dudes. As I've said, my wife and I built a 36 footer back in the 80's-90's. We did it pretty traditionally, Jarrah planks on steam bent Karri ribs, copper/bronze fastened, ( black locust trunnels for blind fastenings) caulked with oakum, no glue. The interior fit out was cedar of Lebanon sourced from an old tree grown locally, again, no glue. No paint inside. Gaff cutter rigged, galv standing rigging, solid pinaster pine mast. Lots of ways to skin a cat eh?. She's still going strong 30 years later. Hasn't even been re-caulked. Loving your build. Going to be one v. strong boat. Loved the transom.
