Oh however on Tony this is s feat Apache

SV if if you're not too clear on these

acronyms sailing vessel so she is not

finished she will have a full keel and

two masts should be a schooner rig drunk

week schooner when we're finished her

and this is the video blog of the build

of this boat we're now somewhat a year

and nine months or so into the build and

recording owl process yes a row and a

stake and this week's been all about

these two deck boxes either side

starboard sides looking quite good

portside in construction you've seen a

bit of that but one other thing we did

this week which we'll just break on the

deck boxes for a moment and show you

something different we took an outing

out last Sunday afternoon an outing out

we went up to the river elbe where there

is a big old boat yard we're looking at

a potential launch site for the Barbican

and I think we looked and I think we

found that the launch site from the boat

which is quite exciting we went in there

we were invited in by till whose watch

watches these videos had seen some of

these videos have contacted us he came

down a couple of weeks ago and visited

to patch yeah and they look around and I

so nice we ran up to him at his boat

yard he let us in first thing you see is

an enormous boat shed whole thing

enormous from the outside

Wow look at the size of that thing

we went in there

it didn't look much smaller from the

inside very impressive

officer this time of year not too many

boats in there because they've only only

in the water at this time of year but in

there were two big 32 ton cranes that

are fixed in there in the boat shed in

the whole boat standing around some from

the German authorities there the Vasa

ship farts and which is the German an

authority that keeps an eye on waterways

yeah plenty room in there and these

cranes in the hall also could lift up

the boats plenty of height in there to

lift them up very high and then at the

far end of the hall at the river end

they've got a pool inside the hall lower

the boat down into that pool big door

that opens up and our ego and the place

is stood right on the the confluence of

the the Lubich Elbe canal or Elbe Lubeck

canal which runs between the river Elbe

and the Baltic Sea and where that flows

into the river Elbe which obviously goes

out to the North Sea in one direction or

up to Prague various other cities in the

other direction so major what the way

big river took a bit of a shot of the

river

and looks really good for us to launch

from so that's where we're planning to

get up in not too far took us about 25

minutes I think to drive up there from

here I'm quite accessible unless you've

got the trucking cost to get to fatiha

up there accessible for us

yeah we're looking here at the port side

deck box under construction of C and

that the fan of curtain in a couple of

holes in the boat this week which is

always a sort of unnerving task one here

that the de tank goes in that's a

supplies diesel for the diesel stove and

this hole here is just going to be a

cupboard through access through the

galley into into this area for plates

and cups and whatever so under

construction looking good it will match

the other side if you just pound a

connoisseur and show that Karen look a

bit like that when it's done

you

yeah picked up this beautiful German

army diesel tank or fuel tank actually

smells like I said petrol no but it'll

be fine for these or it's stainless even

though it's been painted in this

delightful green color stainless tank

and a couple of outlets on it so that's

going in through this hole here going in

for our de tank for our diesel stove

just a gravity feed down to the diesel

stove so it's mounted there and the

stove will be down in the galley

obviously pipe work run through a water

trap and a filter and straight down to

the stove for the gravity feed that'll

be nice not too expensive good solid

stainless tank to the job hard to find

that de tank at a reasonable price very

few of them available here and the ones

that are made by the stove manufacturer

is a silly money for a small stainless

tank when this one say ex German army

army surplus reasonable price like it

well that's it for this weekend you need

to get on get a bit of work done so

thanks for watching give us your thumbs

up subscribe and see you next time
