I love watching you do this work. As a 25 year wooden boat owner here in Southern California of a 1968 52 ft offshore cruiser, I have had to do a lot of this work. I really applaud what you are doing and will be following every episode! I am, however, amazed that you have not been harassed by the harbour or marina masters for getting saw dust and all sorts of other detritus in the water. I was constantly monitored even when I was doing some light sanding and re-varnishing on teak cap rails. One time I was doing a little sanding near the water line and the harbour patrol snuck up on me and gave me a ticket for a few specks of white hull paint that missed my vacuum. I even got a warning ticket for leaving "hazardous materials on the dock" as I had been varnishing one morning and, while I took a 30 minute break ashore for lunch, left my brush in some thinner to keep it wet until i started back up. I am also very interested in the products you use for different jobs, so please keep mentioning them.

My first memories are being brought to the boatshed watching my father building his first clinker 15’ rowing boat and clinching the copper nails/rivets. I have been obsessed with all things boats since! Watching your progress is such a pleasure I want to be there with you using my hands to shape, cut, plane, sand, drill and paint creating beauty from gorgeous wood. And then, there will be an inviting sea to sail her on! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.

This is an excellent boat restoring channel that deserves more attention. As an DIY'er myself i do really appreciate and deeply respect the fact that you are doing everything by yourself with such a high degree of craftmanship and detail, and if not learn the skills if needed. You show people that you are actually never to old to learn, and basically your limitations are only the current condition of your back and knees 😁. Furthermore i would especially mention the excellent quality of these videos, the editing is very good and the additional computer drawings help people to understand what you are doing and why. Hats off to you and best wishes for 2022, stay safe and healthy.

You appear to know so much about wooden boat construction its difficult to understand how you missed so many visual clues of how bad a condition the boat was in when you first viewed her. I haven't managed to find any information as to what consequences the surveyor suffered as a result of his incompetence. Congratulations on your work and I can't wait to see how this restoration continues. Thanks so much for making these videos, I love your review and progress style of presentation.

My father told me of pitching the deck seams on my grandfather's Alden schooner as a teenager in the 60s, really helpful to me to understand the process involved, fantastic video and fantastic rebuild.
@SailingWood2 жыл бұрын
Thank you Patrick. These are as you say, very old traditions, thousands of years in fact. Our use of masking tape to get nice clean seams is a relatively new idea though. When Josefine was first built, as a fishing boat, they almost certainly just poured the pitch into the seams and left it all splattered over the deck to be kicked off over time and washed away by the sea. They were working boats, building and maintenance had to be practical rather than aesthetically pleasing . Even today it is common to pour as neatly as possible (without masking tape) then scrape the excess away while washing constantly with cold water (keeps the pitch hard and brittle). We had that option but chose the cleaner route! :)

Very good job ! The old ways are time tested and works the best !!

Thanks James, we agree, we also find that whilst there are some interesting modern materials available nowadays, that the originally used materials tend to be much more maintenance friendly. We deliberately chose pitch and putty over sikaflex for our seams, for that reason.

Josefine reminds me so much of a boat we used to live on named Goldilocks, even down to the yellow and black paint scheme. After we left she wasn’t as fortunate as Josefine in finding a caring new owner, and last I heard she was decaying away up a creek in Essex 😢. Great to see you putting in the effort to get Josefine spick and span again 👏

I follow another boat resto (many in fact) but one in particular that i recommend is Sailng Yaba. This boat is being more rebuilt than restored by a young couple in Brazil with a bunch of traditional wooden boat builders. This was the first boat where I have seen the use of spikes or nails instead of screws and apparently nails are stronger than screws in this application. So I was please to see you using spikes.

@@SailingWood Seems to me given the scope and extent of the hull, decking, masts, etc that your use of the adjective "terrible" is totally inadequate when describing your surveyor. Hopefully, the surveyor in question was a registered member of an Authorised Recognised Organisation (ROs) for the survey and inspection of UK ships as well as the Society of Consulting Marine Engineers and Ship Surveyors, and presumably, you have since completed a full summary of the actual condition of the vessel and have submitted that to the appropriate governing authority?

So, You do all that while living aboard (I reckon You went by bike and trailer You pulled outta Josefine to the site where Your new preloved hydraulic steering came from for a reason), or do You live someplace else? It is, even without living aboard, a somewhat major task You tackled beautifully so far. I particularly loved the notion "we save her so that she can save us". That's what they really are, those old troughs: the place we save ourselves to. Even more so in mad times like the present ones. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Manfred yes we live on Josefine and the bikes and our tender Lily are our only mode of transport. When we started the work at Nielsen s ship yard it was right in the middle of the Pandemic and to protect anyone else working on the boat, we were not allowed to live onboard for a while. We thought that was perfectly reasonable and although Randie wanted to stay on the boat, we rented a small apartment for 6 months, we hated it and it seriously dented our budget. We were deligthed to get back on Josefine at the beginning of last year, it was interesting lying in bed without a deck over us, we have got quite familiar with parts of Josefine we wouldn’t otherwise have! :) We have actually decided to make a couple of video's digging into our past, to help explain how we got into difficulty with Josefine, why we thought we could rescue the situation and how we went about it, so if you stay tuned we will bring you that in the next couple of months.

Josephine is a real winner! She is going to be a beautiful boat and she is also going to make a great home for you both! Do you know of the yt channel 'Sailing Emerald Steel'? It is about a couple of about your age who built their own steel yacht with no money but with a lot of determination. I'm sure that you'll be bound to meet them in some remote marina somewhere in your travels! In the meantime I look forward to your next video!

Thank you David, yes we know of and have enjoyed watching some of Emerald Steel’s adventures, we may well cross paths one day, which would be nice. I am trying to get a new chapter out this weekend, I hope you enjoy it

I do hope she will be yellow, chrome yellow would look terrific.

Funnily enough Jonathan, we were just trying out a few options, late yesterday. Favoured option at the moment is black hull yellow bullwalks.
