I install a stern breasthook to support the aft bulwarks; we get Hazel's autopilot up and running and fit a new radar reflector and anchor light... 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.

so

[Music]

i seen

[Music]

soon we'll see what it's about

[Music]

hi i'm tony this is espy depatcher

we're building a cruising sailboat um

behind me there

cruising sailboat designed for a couple

plus perhaps guests to to travel the

waters of the world

um and as you can see progress quite

good

um last week managed to pull forwards a

bit to give me

what three meters of access at the aft

end

and this week's been all about starting

on that afternoon the comings

need capping i'll put a little piece of

uh

fill it in at the back end where where

the currents come together

and perhaps this week is a good week to

give a bit of an outlook

of how things are expected to progress

at least and uh clearly there are a few

major items to build as you may know the

rudder is

is well in progress but at some stage

we've got to get a keel on her

lift her up and and get the keel or

build the keel first of all

and get it underneath there but before i

do that well

the first step i want to do is to get

the boat properly sealed up there's a

few bits of paint missing so the cockpit

well is still not painted obviously this

this new piece of wood i'm putting on

the aft end

these bit of paint there's a couple of

other bits a little bit on the anchor

box

need to be painted and then when that's

done i'll be in a position to pull up

all the way out of the shed

so that is you know it's getting closer

um

another thing i can do as one of the

points of of pulling her this far

forwards was to give me access

to the stern end but also to allow me to

work on that poor bit

but yeah i say once she's painted we'll

pull it all the way

out of the shed and then

those things i started talking about

then it's time to think about a few

things and

obviously the keel is coming it is

getting close

but before i jack her up to work on the

keel i think i should do some of the

things on

on the decks that they're doing so i

plan to build a hard dodger

that would be coming soon after dragging

out i think

after pulling her out of the shed hard

dodger the railings

um those sort of things and then when

they are done

the hard dodger will be the mounting for

the solar that i plan to fit

when that's done then jack her up start

on the keel

obviously when she's out of the shed i

have room in here to work on the kiln

start with because

it's quite a big construction and also

to start on the masts

two masks to build so they'll be built

in this shed when the boat's

clear of it so that's really the way

things are looking

there's one or two little bits interior

to do a bit in the engine room still to

do

a couple of bits of finishing upholstery

i anticipate doing this winter

um you know there's a few things still

to do some fiddles little bits and

pieces

but progress is good when will we launch

i don't know i can't say i should just

carry on

working as best i can and we'll launch

when we're ready

that's all we can do as soon as i

possibly can but

only when she's ready and it it doesn't

make sense to launch beforehand

at the moment she's here i'm not paying

rent on this this location

so um the most sensible thing to do is

to do as much as possible here

get her as close to finished as possible

here before i move her up to some place

where i'm going to start paying money to

have her there you know so that's the

way things are looking

let's have a look at what's been going

on this week

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

[Music]

and as i say fitted this phillip piece

and the aft end really is a

strengthening piece for those combings

joins them all together you know solidly

and it's largely

largely structural um but yeah

looking good a bit of uh black locust

trim along there i'm gonna put black

locust trim

around the tops of the coamings that'll

be coming very soon

or she'll run over there up to the point

and then she'll be painted the black

the black locust will be varnished and

she'll be painted in the white with the

rest of the hub

should look good

as you probably know we've been working

on hazel's boat

on and off all over the last winter and

through springtime

um doing a few things there some issues

she had

plus some upgrades and a couple of

things needed finishing off we

a couple of weeks ago you saw us

starting to install the autopilot

needed to finish that off one other

thing we wanted to do

to that was which is something that's a

bit of an issue the junk rigged boat

have because the unstayed masts

it's very very difficult to put a radar

reflector up anywhere so

um we thought we'd try making a mast you

know a short master pole

if you like that had two things on it

had a radar reflector on it and a um

an anchor light on the top so we thought

we'd try that out we'll make it make up

a

it's about two and a half meters long

this this

pole with those two things on it

so we did that got a bit of three one

six stainless

um welded a couple of brackets onto it

and then took it up to a boat fitted

that finished the autopilot install

installation and uh she's ready to go

now

i'm planning to go off for a summer

cruise very soon

[Music]

so

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

yeah what's happening hazel uh we are

out

of the marina and who's steering

the computer the autopilot

yes it's steering is it yeah and it

works

and we tried under sail as well didn't

we yeah

not too shabby eh our destination up
