From WoodenBoat's "Legends" series.
CONSTANCE is a newly built reimagining of the legendary Falmouth quay punt CURLEW. Built in 1912, CURLEW was made famous under the ownership of Tim and Pauline Carr, who voyaged thousands of miles in her from the Arctic to Antarctica. Using CURLEW’s lines as a starting point, the naval architect Jack Gifford developed a hull that is 6’ longer than CURLEW’s, has 50 percent more volume, but retains CURLEW’s aesthetics and handling qualities.
In this, the second installment of the WoodenBoat Legends series, beautifully filmed and edited by Emily Harris, CONSTANCE’s builder, Ben Harris, describes the conception, construction, and sailing of the new boat.

Lovely piece of work. Who designed it?

There is something of a resurgence in places... due to the problems of composite designs in the face of custom builds .. Spirit yatchs are but one. They tend to use bio epoxies to protect the wood but new chemicaly engineered soft woods can be used in place of not just traditionally ressiliant rare hard woods but metals and composites. With the advantages of wood but far more resiliant and acting as renewable carbon sinks... that are toxin free. Acoya and Inventwoods Metelwood are two examples of whats becoming possible .

The best planking I have ever used is 'Alaskan Yellow Cedar'. It is rich in oil and very strong

How did you affix teak deck? Beautiful stout boat.

its a wonderful boat, but i like the safety and reliability of steel to absorb hull damage also how easy it is to cut into the hull and repair with very basic welding tools. but there are drawbacks like you will need to have hull coatings and use sacrificial zinc anodes. the boat is heaver so performance is impacted.

Its a Wooden Boat Channel I guess😄

@krockpotbroccoli65 Жыл бұрын

Why are you watching a channel about wooden boats if you prefer steel construction? In my view of it, steel is for building modern cargo ships, liners and tankers. A bronze fastened wooden boat is a thing that actually gets along with seawater. I don't see any reason to entertain the idea of a steel recreational vessel. Also, I'd argue that wood is easier to repair while underway. Suitable wood for reparing a boat can be found anywhere in the world and you can keep the tools to work it on board. Appropriate steel and welding equipment not so much.

@@krockpotbroccoli65 its about the hull design and rig construction. they can look identical but be made out of different material so the aesthetic properties are not lost.

@@unguidedone the aesthetic properties of wooden boats include the feel of the boat underway. No steel, nor glass fiber boat is going to ever have the lovely feel of a sea kindly wooden boat. Nor the acoustics. And while steel has the best modulus of elasticity of the usual materials, I'd venture most sailors don't seek to run onto rocks and reefs, so use skill rather than brute strength to get by.
