i sit and

wonder what we seem to know

hi everyone i'm tony we're building a

cruising sailboat

this year's early summer

when you're doing a project like this

there's quite a lot of decisions you

have to make

that's good you know each builder is

left to make

quite a few decisions on their own to

make their boat individual

the designers leave a fair bit of leeway

in their plans

so that you can make your own decisions

and other things perhaps small things

you want to change from the plans

because

make them suit you better in some way

that's excellent you know

it takes a lot of research a lot of

thinking and you make your decisions

one of those decisions you have to make

is how you'll get in

and out of your boat and there are

varying opinions

on that um even when you look at benford

dory builders this is a jay benford

designed

sailing door some people

have some kind of a hatch in here

that they climb down in so

everything here is sealed i'm inclined

to think they tend to be shorter people

than me but anyhow

you can go in you can have some kind of

entrance way here the seals down

um some people like doors here hinge

doors

as you can probably tell i've got for

washboards

there are advantages to all of them and

you you

make your decision based on your

preferences and where

is you wish to sail you know there are

arguments

clearly for sealing down here if you

think you're gonna be sailing

southern ocean northern atlantic

you probably want something that's gonna

seal probably for me i like washboards

because i can take them out

and get a nice big opening in the boat

lots of air lots of light

in there um and obviously you can have

one

in when you're sailing if you think it's

kicking up a bit

leave one open you've got various

options for how they

fit recently heard it read a criticism

of washboards and somebody said

the problem is you never know where to

store them but when they're not in place

it's not a problem either that um

you just gotta you know think it through

everything anyhow washboards there they

are

now these washboards have been going on

for a long long time

the clip you saw at the start was

episode 109

it was the of the first building of

these washboards we're now

on episode 148 it's 39 episodes ago

which must be roughly speaking 39 weeks

ago

this is getting towards a year ago that

i started making these waffles and

i think they're probably not even not

quite finished now they're in position

but i don't think they're 100 finished

been going on a long time and a couple

of weeks ago i said i'd

tell you the story of one of the reasons

why these washboards have taken so darn

long and this week we're gonna deal with

that

that's how you want to be

try out this

[Music]

the outside that's the inside

that's nice that's a good stiff move as

well

see i'll put these very nice brassy

vents

brass vents in the washboards

but lovely i think you'll agree

unfortunately

has anybody spotted the not in the

slightest deliberate mistake

i've put it in the wrong board

so now i'm going to take it out again

it's supposed to be in the top board in

the top board

and do some imaginative repair work on

the bottom board

oh what fun

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

let's see what this looks like actually

[Applause]

position
