The companionway steps are completed, the forward mast fitting is polished up and the galley gets some electrical sockets to supply both shore power and inverter power. This is the story of the building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of the build as it progresses and aim to show as much detail as possible of the various aspects of the build. These videos take a lot of time and effort to make, in what is already a time-intensive project. Your support in watching, subscribing and sharing these videos is very much appreciated.

[Music]

i'm tony we're building a cruising

sailboat

say that every week let's have a look

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

let's get on there like that

[Applause]

there

[Applause]

all right

[Applause]

yes

[Applause]

[Applause]

wow

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

wow

[Applause]

[Music]

oh

uh

[Music]

[Music]

i'm gonna hold that there exactly there

[Applause]

[Applause]

that looks to me right doesn't it

[Applause]

just keep your feet exactly

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

it's time to repair a bit of poor

planning

ah okay

[Applause]

yes so kerry and i got the top step in

it's fixed nicely

looks great and then i've fabricated

this

another bit of recycled mahogany for the

removable second set obviously it's got

to be removable to give us

access to the engine pops in there

[Music]

a couple of bolts will secure although

it's

pretty good it fits really well let me

i'll probably put two a bolt either side

just to make sure it doesn't

come out and uh

i'm not gonna wait for that in

working very nicely

and the larger steps will keep us fit

obviously

please do that remember this piece of

trim will come

along there that will give us

that bit of extra width on that one

and yeah happy with that i've got

oak strip that's arrived for the cabin

soul and to

clad this bottom step and

we'll probably get on to that soon

look very shiny and nice we'll be on

there sanded up and varnished

and then these two will be vanished of

course the finish

and a bit of non-slip on there we've got

an

anti-slip tape or whatever and then i

did a little bit of wiring got these two

sockets in

um black is his shore power

and he's hooked up and functioning

white will be inverter which at the

moment isn't

working but i have fitted the inverter

and i decided to put it in my i'll give

you some lights there

just a minute do that again

so there's the inverter in the

electronics bay battery charger as well

in there

i know i did say didn't know a couple of

weeks ago about putting it in that

bottom step and then

i decided it wasn't such a clever idea

because

it's low down isn't it in the event of

water getting in

it would flood that out so i decided to

go for the higher up mountain

in the electronics bay there

[Applause]

[Applause]

um

[Applause]

low enough

[Applause]

the same thing

[Applause]

oh yeah

oh don't do that

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

so now sanded this with

320 400 600

800 1200 1500 1800

2500 grits

wet sanded three thousand grits my last

one

i can safely sound tired it's taking

quite a few hours but um

looks reasonable certainly as shiny as

it's going to get

for the time being

there it is in all its glory

um i'll just lift that out of the way

for a moment

the holes that we drilled last week have

been epoxy filled now

through the old drill film

i always get that wrong yeah drill fill

drill approach

and that's going to pop in there it has

been too cold to fit it i want to

i'm going to fill it in embed it uh

better in

in epoxy um

in the method i'm going to use the

method described in the gaussian

brothers book

a hardware bedding but it's been too

cold to do it so

wait for a day when the temperatures saw

the temperature

epoxy might set off in but it's getting

there looks good

it's cleaned up you know it's not

perfect but it's come up quite shiny

and actually at the moment it's got a

little bit of condensation on it from

the

cold so it's even shinier than it looks

now

i'm quite pleased it's good

get it fitted soon that's it for this

week

thank you for watching um give us your

thumbs up

even better hit the subscribe button

please

sure it helps
