We have a little look around the boat as she stands at the moment. Then, the raw water filter and diesel prefilter/water trap are fitted, along with the battery isolator/charge splitter. In the EE bay, I fit some new battery switches. 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.

i guess

yeah few bits arriving as you saw raw

water filter

beta for all water filter

[Music]

water trap and pre-filter for diesel

plus the

the hose nozzles barbs

i've got some diesel hose which i hope

is enough to run from the tank

to the pre-filter onto the lift pump

and the return from the second filter

back to

the pre-filter i've got some

[Music]

very flexible raw water hose this should

be good i think

enough to run from the the uh through

hole which is

part of the the cell drive up to the

raw water filter and from the raw water

filter through to the

pump the water pump lovely

plus a nice

lot of battery cable and the

ends for that so starting to think about

wiring the batteries

one in there one in there connecting

them all up via the switch

um up through to start the motor

obviously

it's a pretty heavy duty battery cable

good stuff nice lot of stuff arriving

let's just start doing something with it

[Music]

is

[Music]

[Music]

soon we'll see what it's about

and here she is she's a 31 foot

normally a 31 for eight pounds for dory

blowers hard giant and one of the great

things about these boats is that you can

build them low in the

in the shop so because the kill is

fitted

towards the end and the plans are to

get her on a trailer at some stage shift

her up to a local yard

where i could get her lifted up on the

crane

and get the keel in underneath and

fitted in so

the fitting of the kill would be one of

the very last things to do which is nice

because i say

you can see the boat sits fairly low

down doesn't it

yeah so this is the forward deck you

just have a little scan

carry really nice and slowly

now what you've got here is is the coach

roof is full width

so it's described as a raise to deck

then we drop down to the forward deck

which is which is quite protected by

these combings

uh big old dog house on there

so my own adaption with a box here for

the anchor chain

um so we don't have any holes going

through the deck

the way i like it not everybody does

we'll have two masks you see the forward

mask fit in there

and up on the main deck there's

yeah forward deck looking like this i'm

pretty much done

plan is fairly soon in the next several

weeks to pull her out

forward so the forward deck at least

would be out of the shed it'll give me

good access to the afternoon yeah

but i think we'll have a little wander

down the side and try and show you

a bit about the boat and this

the side with the ray's deck is is the

hardest bit to show you because

the shed is not that much bigger than

the boat so we haven't got much room to

get a

you know good shot at the side of the

boat so there's not much to see here i'm

afraid

um we can wander on down

part of the shed that's the very

smallest there you go

and the after also

nearly completed clearly you know rather

and tiller to come on which would be one

of the things i'll be thinking about

when we've got that bit forward that i

was

saying i want to pull it forward enough

to clear this beam because

for the whole duration that this boat's

been this way around

in this position i've been ducking under

that beam and

yeah it'd be nice to be clear of that

but

after a small cockpit won't hold much

water

no feet i suppose nice big lazarette

which

still needs a catch but the hatch is

done the diesel tank and various other

things in there

plenty of storage in there these

combings still need a capping on

and i think i'm going to put a little

storage unit right up in the aft end

here

still to come but we're nearly done in

here one or two little bits obviously

um yeah looking good got through sort of

traditional

wash boards or are there a bit bigger

than standard perhaps

quite a heavy duty hatch there so main

deck has a

bit dusty needs good clean up and

obviously we haven't got a right a lot

of height here for me to

show you effectively but um you know

it's a big flat deck

got the stove chimney coming up as i

said the other mast

fitting there um a couple of nice

hatches in there

big deck area which

will be interesting how we keep this out

obviously various lines have got to come

across here with

guide rubbers and whatever it's a

favorite to do here but it's a nice big

area

and here we are inside it has a diff

different sound quality down a little

bit of echo because

obviously we've got no cushions or

anything to damper

don't sound but uh four peak room enough

for two

um yeah simple thing we're gonna have

two cities

a nav table here behind this bulkhead on

my left

with the switch panel and the galley

area here obviously

the dickinson diesel stove a small

double sink that won't take much water

to

put some water in the sink and a bit of

work top

some storage cupboard shelving heads are

in

here simple enough with a what we should

call a composting toilet for want of a

better word

no flush out anyhow uh yes they're

coming on quite well good

so up here this end we've got a quarter

of birth up in here which will

work quite nicely as a sea birth i think

um

yeah one person's up on that one the

tiller you know the other person

is sleeping but they're quite nearby

within ear shots

and this is where i've been working

largely this week

the injuries starting to get some

connections in there

um volvo md

2010 got the charge splitter in there

for the batteries

obviously raw water filter diesel filter

in

exhaust up the back various other bits

and another thought going on in there at

the moment this week

and that pretty much is a basic tour of

the boat at least

both of those places not very much

really

[Music]

i fished over 20 with plenty wouldn't it

that would go up there wouldn't it

easily and it would come up

quite easily

[Music]

[Music]

okay

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

so starting to think about the engine

room the diesel filters

the raw water sea water filter

plumbing for those water pipes for the

cooling of the engine the diesel

hoses from the tank through the engine

and uh

state of play at the moment it's not

hasn't gone very far

i've got made up to glued up this board

that will be the mounting plate for

those two filters for the diesel

pre-filter and water trap and for the

the saw the filter and just whacked a

few

drywall screws for it just to hold it

together they'll be coming out later

when the glue is drying

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

get your phone

[Applause]

so

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

nice

[Applause]

so

so

so

[Applause]

should fit on that

looks interior

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

foreign

[Applause]

another thing this week was was to fit

in these two

batteries switches and a few other bits

in the in the electric

bay there so in the end i've gone for

two battery switches

the thinking being that battery one

battery two

this will be mainly service battery

battery one battery two mainly motor

battery

but you have the off the opportunity to

start from

motor battery or if need be from

from service battery or of course both

to start the engine and this one will be

the load so the basic you know the

things in the boat

lights and whatever which normally would

run for battery

one but you do have the opportunity to

run the battery to

should need a rise which is less likely

so we've gone for two battery stitches

in the end and that means a bit of

tidying up around here which is still

covered

coming on

very nice

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

nice

real big question is can we get that one

there

and i think we just about can can we

come in there like that

through that into there

like that

[Applause]

is it too close to there that's all

right then there's a little

electric body the back of the two

battery switches there

got a negative bus in here um there's a

big old battery box that will have a big

old battery in it at the moment it

hasn't it's got a very small battery

battery charger charges both batteries

individually small one enough and a

small

250 watt inverter um and that's about

what you've got to see in here really so

it's fairly simple

fairly simple although not the simplest

stuff

in the world no doubt and perhaps that

leads me to a point

yeah you you may have heard me in the

past

if you've watched most of these episodes

you will have heard me in the past

describing this as a low-tech boat and

clearly you know the idea of low-tech is

is relative isn't it one person's

low-tech is

not on others um and i'm very aware that

this isn't the most low-tech boat in the

world

in fact you know i've sailed on my first

real

ocean sailing or yeah we can call it

ocean sailing

was done on a boat that um funnily

enough i just found a classic boat

article

about the same boat it's been bought by

some people in spain and

really built completely you know to the

sort of extent

that leo is doing tally ho that kind of

reload

which is nice to see it back in life but

when i sailed on that boat

it had nothing it had no electrics it

had a

basic stove but other than that

and a couple of benches and some

cushions but that's all it had

um and for the nav lights we used to

have an old car battery wasn't my boat

but

the owner had a car battery that he

carried on board with him and

sort of twisted the wires onto the

terminals from the neverlight so

that was a proper low-tech boat and i'll

admit this isn't but

i've tried to keep it simple

ish you know functioning systems

that give us a degree of comfort but

nonetheless are

simple and easy to maintain and

relatively cheap to install

and that's what we've got here

looks pretty good

that's it for this week thanks for
