Having a boat built

[Wansworth]

Looks like if you want a fairly meaty boat built the yard where Yaba is being rebuilt seems a good place

Tnx for the heads up re Yaba - I had not heard of them before.

Here is a link to their YouTube page -
https://www.youtube.com/c/sailingyaba/videos

And here is a link to their first video, where they mention that they have just bought a massive 70' wooden sailing boat that is sinking......

They seem to be getting at least 100,000 views of each video on average, so I hope that this is enough to buy them stuff like the purpleheart they mention in the video last week -

I enjoyed watching the skilled Brazilian shipwrights, as far removed from any pretense of yachting as one can get, going about their business. Alas, the moronic babble of the utterly clueless owners put me off from watching it any further.

Fine if you have VERY deep pockets...or maybe keen sponsers..

Just seen the links, Oh Dear..

Yes a shame could have had all manner of technical comments,names of wood tools etc.The biggest conundrum is why did the boat get so badly attacked

Sadly, that is probably a large part of why the series is so popular - many folk love watching videos like this.

There again, if they had somebody who knew what he was talking about, like Tally Ho Leo, they might be getting 5 times the number of hits.

While waiting for the tide to to go up the Gualdalquivir to Sevilla, we moored up with some fishing boats in Sanlucar de Barremeda. The boat next to us was getting some serious work on the forward sections. Watching the guys do scarf joints with chainsaws was 'informative'!

If you find their babble moronic try watching an episode of "Ship happens " on YouTube. ?

As far as I could tell from cursory viewing there is not much left from the original craft.

When I stopped over in Tangier a few years age, there was much evidence of wooden craft being built by traditional methods; not much in they way of 1500$ handcrafted wooden planes though, the steel for which had been sourced from a meteor crater and the wood for the finely finished handle from the South side of the cemetery and harvested on an ascendant full moon.

Thank you for the heads-up.
