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.

so we're up at hazel's boat

and all sorts of things going on do you

want to john talk us through a few

things i do

yeah i can do so we ordered the tank

so that is which tank's that oh a diesel

tank

all right i'll spin around yeah because

we've down there

all right ah under there there it is

down there here we did try it in place

just now and it fits

yeah which is good yeah and just now we

struggled a bit with the

new water hoses yeah you see that water

pipe's sticking out there that's him

uh it was stuck behind the fridge or ice

box i guess

hooked up to electricity but got that

out now so i'm just

about to put this tea piece on the tank

all right hook it up because why do we

need to see then because of course

there's also a tap some of the heads

well it's not

there right now let's just wander in

there okay it's just full of clutter but

obviously there's a pipe coming through

to there yeah

there's a sink that's happened non

through hull the toilet is progressing

quite well there looks good

what are those stones there for all

right good that you ask

there's like a well uh behind

this piece of wood yeah and we need to

fill it up because

well we don't need it yeah it's just

like a dip

and i've always water whatever i might

collect in there right there

shouldn't be nice i want the the

containers

to stand stable as well so that has to

be relatively even

yeah yeah and then what we've got in

this big box up here is all

exhaust bits exhaust bits let's have a

look took the exhaust

off i'm gonna replace some of the pipes

and

yeah i see things like that all right

complete new exhaust system eh yeah

better crack on them

[Music]

six

[Music]

how we

[Music]

soon we'll see what it's about

look at this thing for a difference the

last week amazing

still a few patches of the old white

stuff but

that is glorious

it's almost warm enough to take your

fleece off as well

oh it's climbing up

that might have been a bit wobbly

looking good doors open

some fresh air in

i've had these very nice drains for

quite a while now

brass drains and the plan is to put them

in the corners of the

of the cockpit just in case any any

moisture

you know there'll be a bimini over top

but any any water that should collect in

these corners can drain

and i think i'm going to pop them in

there and connect them up

through to the cockpit so they actually

exit through the cockpit drains rather

than having

even more through-holes so got these and

i thought

well i've got the depth fills the end

grain has applied

from the deck fills to to seal so i

thought you might as well cut the holes

for liters i can

seal all of that in green in one go so

they've got a a countersink on the top

there so

i had to buy a very big count sink bit

but i've done a trial run on a bit of

ply and

it seems to work so let's give it a go

[Music]

okay

gently does it get it down flush

one

try that

yeah that's perfect perfect

[Music]

yeah put that somewhere out the way here

so i'm looking at these companionway

stairs for a while

a good while now i had a set of teeth

stairs lint there but they were never

really intended to be the final solution

i've stuck various bits of masking tape

around to mark

some levels out and some ideas and

in the planning stage at the moment to

try and get a safe

um strong stairway in there

that will look good and also give us

good access to the engine room

um it's the last bit of construction in

here really

when that's done be able to get on

through the cabin sole one or two other

little bits to do still

one more step still to come some doors

in the heads

but uh getting close to being

finished is a dangerous word doesn't it

getting close to

being finished in here

finished he says

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

oh okay

seems to look at work comfy

short person perfect for short people

yeah the taller ones have to sleep

outside and deck

yeah that's right nice looks good

so

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

uh

[Applause]

not that way this way

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

so

okay

so

hmm

[Music]

[Applause]

right come out there like that

the recycled mahogany

foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

so yeah there's the box that forms the

first step

this piece of mahogany that i've

prepared will come along

something like that gives an edge to the

step

um this will be flat with with some

flooring some some

wood flooring so i need to get that bit

of mahogany at the right height so it

all finishes flush

but that looks something like that and

will look quite nice when it's painted

in

the box also gives us capacity

to get the motor battery in there

fits in there beautifully in there which

i'm quite pleased with

and the inverter will come in

there i believe with a remote switch and

switching on and off it's got the

possibility to

fit a remote switch so that'll be ideal

well protected and tucked out of the way

close to the service battery so we've

got very short runs of the

of the cables yes i'm very pleased with

that

plus of course some other storage

roundabout for things that are

suitable for that sort of thing

just bought this new earth clamp for the

welder

which is a serious upgrade

it's got to fit it i bought a electro

clamp

a while back just like that

it's a lot nicer than the old cheap

rubbish one that come on it

i'm just going to fit this earth clamp

now

that looks better let's get both of them

out

and there we are look at that

those look good don't know serious stuff
