Wooden Boat Construction

[Fishtigua]

If you've ever wondered why wooden yachts and custom boats cost so much, watch this 45 minute video. This is modern cold moulded boatbuilding from the Van Dam yard (not everything goes smoothly).

Spectacular! I nearly cried.

When I told my Boss you get what you pay for with boats, he said he disgreed. He said anyone can throw money at something.

We agreed to disagree. Was I right, or was the rich bloke who pays my salary right ?
I think I'm richer in life.

Thanks for sharing that

That is bloody stunning. I love the Riva/Chris Craft style of boats.

A true work of art.

Particularly impressed with the two point lift. I think you would need to do those calcs. several times over and then redo them in your dreams/nightmares.

Nice indeed.

If you Google 'coastal motor boat' you'll see some similar lines - and from 1914.

OMG! She´s lovely! A bit modern for me below the water, as I would prefer a bit more keel and a skeg rudder, but doesn´t she fly! I wouldn´t sniff at her if I had a chance though. I say again..Lovely! Thanks for sharing

That CMB that Hampshire County Council have, which I think might currently be at Duxford, really really should be restored to working order.

I've said for a long time that the Americans build better and prettier lakes boats than the Italians.

If you like wooden sailing boats, this is quite a nice video. Antigua Classic Week 2013.

Seems a shame to cover the wooden hull in grp too.
