This week’s “Tally Ho”..,

[Keen_Ed]

Marinetraffic hasn't 'seen' Dorade since September last year, when she was in Newport - I wonder where she is now?

Probably still Newport.
She’s doing next years Transpac Tahiti race.

So, EP49 and we seem to be back on the case.

Get the stem assembly in the boat, then another frame raising party.

Seems to me and new centreline and all the frames done is a huge milestone.

After spending last Friday cutting and cleaning the rabbet on a Cornish gig we are building, it was interesting to see him cutting it with a circular saw and angle grinder!”

I thought that was quite spirited...

I am reasonably practical, I have seen some very, very clever people at close range.

I decided some time ago that this bloke is a genius.

Best watched with a copy of Watts and Jurd to hand. Every move he makes is according to Hoyle, and straight out of Watts and Jurd. Never a single short cut.

I shall be very interested in Janaury to see how those beam shelves are fitted.

I don’t see how he can avoid steaming them in place.

I thought so too, surely trying to force them down to the frames would bend the frames before that massive beam shelf? I suppose he may not need my opinion though

The "boil in the bag" technique, as used by Brian Kennell and Sean White on the "Pioneer" seems indicated

I have just ordered an old copy of that W and J book, must be worth £15!

Did W&J recommend chainsaws and angle grinders for boatbuilding, Kukri ?

It’s a professional boatbuilder’s textbook. It does not discuss the use of tools, any more than a professional chef’s textbook would.

'Schooner Bluenose II' is another YT channel,Sampson fans might enjoy. I have learned a new word, beadling which means hammering oakum into the seams..all 11 miles of them!

Meanwhile, a short excursion to New England in search of white oak:

Well now you do!

Delighted to hear he's hoping to get a shipwright on the case.
