    If you start using a drone to capture footage of your boat in full, from close distance and from 50 or more feet, the videos would be even more enjoyable than they are now.

    Interesting concept i found this when i was looking for different techniques for poor man's fiberglass which just uses i guess a polyester cloth instead of fiberglass cloth, Have you any experience with poor man's fiberglass versus this method does the glass and glue cure hard brittle or does the glue really integrate with the glass cloth like it does with pmf polyester/canvas cloth?

  • @danoyes1
    @danoyes1Ай бұрын

    The cure is hard/rubbery, similar to the glue alone, not sure how the glass compares with polyester cloth in price or performance... 🤔

    @danoyes1 morning Dan, I'm a retired professional sailor with 40 years in the business and after owning 24 sailboats from 12 to 158 ft its time to put together the last boat for some simple sailing on my home waters of the Chesapeake . Because I don't have your wonderful skill set in building wooden boats I was thinking of having The Dory Shop build their 23 foot Fishmaker with some "Centennial Mods". Sadly no one here on the Bay seems to be interested in building a real wooden boat. Would you have time to talk via phone this week. You are the only guy out there that is keeping it real in my opinion....let me know

    Looks like I will be building a alpha dory also. Been studying boat plans on and off for six years now. I have built six boats so far but never a sailing vessel. Plan to sail puget sound and maybe to Alaska. The offsets in John Gardeners book are to the outside.....so I assume that a line is drawn to each point and cut to the line? You also used rivits to join the planks, did you have to bevel the edges to fit with a one inch overhang? Your help will be greatly appriciated as I have never built a lapstrake sided boat. I also plan to epoxey the whole thing when done. Rick the wood doctor.

  • @danoyes1
    @danoyes110 ай бұрын

    Wow! Very cool, great project and you will not be disappointed by this beautiful design. Offsets to the outside of the frames and inside of planking outside of transom and stem. If you're using sawn planking no need for epoxy, if you're building with plywood epoxy coating may prevent some checks in surface veneres.

  • @danoyes1
    @danoyes110 ай бұрын

    Search for "Sailing Centennial, performance discussion, 1876 sailing banks dory" pretty indepth discussion of performance characteristics of this design. Depending on use I would consider widening the width of the Dory bottom by 4-6 inches which would give significant room below decks while having minimal effect on performance and construction process.

    Nice Dory. Its great to actually see and hear a Chamberlain Alpha Dory under sail. I saw an original Swampscott racing dory sailing in Rye Harbor years ago and it was fast and nimble. I have been a dory and schooner fanboy since my father bought a model of the Gertrude L. Thibault when I was about 5 years old. I read John Gardener for years and even took his boat building course at Mystic Seaport in the mid 1970s. I read all of his articles in back issues of the National Fisherman at the Marblehead Library. I also visited the Lowell Boat Shop in Amesbury when Ralph Lowell was still there and later his shop at Strawberry Banke. Unfortunately, life got in the way and I never got to build a boat. However, I used to hunt waterfowl on the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, dig clams on the Parker River mud flats, and enjoy operating my 17' Boston Whaler Sakonnet.

    Very cool, I think I remember seeing the Dory you are talking about in Rye, it was on rt1a along the beach, in the mid 90s upside-down in a yard, sweet hull, I never got a look inside and was pretty weathered when I remembered it.
