The bow pulpit is fitted and wired up; I fit and shape the black locust aft bulwark caps; and that varnish eventually arrives only to give us a bit of a surprise...

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. You make a real difference!!

we see

it all in like

[Music]

i'll make the dough soon see

what it's about

[Music]

hi i'm tony this is s v

patchya and we are building a cruising

sailboat and

what we're doing not only not only are

we building

cruising sailboat but we're recording

the build trying to get as much of the

build as possible recorded here on

youtube

for anybody who wants to see it really

and show

what's involved in you know project like

this building a boat from scratch

from nothing up until a finished

cruising sailing boat

um she's a benfidori 32 foot basically

speaking

benefit dory with junk

rig schooner sailing rig

so junk sails um screwing a rig which

means that the

aft of the two masts is higher than the

forward

one uh the after of the two cells is

bigger only a bit but bigger

and the junk rig which is a very

effective cruising sailing rig

and sadly not particularly well known

um those of you who have sailed junk rig

will probably know that it's it's very

effective

um probably you know one of the great

criticisms of junk rig is is its

windward ability and it may be fair to

say that is

is not as good as a bermuda standard

triangular sailed

boat to win wood but that doesn't mean

they don't go to win but that that's

entirely false they're doing deco the

windwood but um

off the wind beam reach and after that

they are fantastic rick

very very fast very efficient and the

beauty of the junk rig is is very very

easy to handle

so um you know the boat is coming along

quite well it

looks pretty much like a boat

and it won't be long until we're sort of

starting to get onto the rig

the sails are being made by a

professional sail maker at the moment

um and once this boat is out of this

boat shed i shall be

starting on the mars or soon thereafter

and we'll be getting to rigging in the

next while

no doubt but anyhow let's have a look at

what we've been doing this week and and

we need to start off on the forward end

on the bow

where um basically got the pulpit

mounted last week you saw me doing some

alterations to the pulpit and

this week kerry and i mounted it we used

beautiful tape to seal it

something i hadn't used that much before

i have used it before but not

large quantities um and it's gone very

well it's already had

a fair bit of rain on it because we've

had a few days of quite heavy rain now

and all dry and well which is excellent

so let's have a look at that

[Applause]

[Applause]

so

[Applause]

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

so

[Applause]

so

[Applause]

[Applause]

yes

okay

if you got a thin a bit put it towards

the middle wouldn't it okay

right and then we've got to do these

four holes up here as well

you can just tip that up here

i have this

a couple of things happen this week that

are

kind of strange unusual for

me um yeah two things happened

let me tell you about them one in the

latest edition of the

junk rig association's magazine the june

edition of this year um they've

printed an article based on an interview

that was done with me

printed an article about our mainly

about our

previous sailing experience with our

last boat carrier and i sailed

the west coast of the american continent

in canada started in vancouver

went across to through the islands there

down to puja sound

around seattle area then out to the

pacific down the pacific coast

and down to mexico and up into the

sierra cortez so they published an

article about that

cruising experience in a junk rig boat

uh our previous for

cement junk rigged boat so that's there

if you can get hold of a copy somehow

the junk rig association

magazine

this is quite a good website good forum

a lot of information if you're

interested in junk rick's stuff

the junk rig association website and the

other thing

they've done also the same thing they've

started a junk rig association

youtube channel and and their first

video is a

short video interview it's done over

zoom

with me about this project really and uh

yeah so it's there i reposted the

video on my on the sv tapata

facebook page which i've started doing a

bit more with in recent times

so there's a few things over on the s v

to patch your facebook page if you'd

like to go and have a look

i say that interview from the jra is

there

and on the topic of videos i also put

out earlier this week i put out another

uh behind the scenes video short five

six minutes something like that

behind the scenes video over on the

patreon site

so it's open to to everybody it's

publicly available so if you're

interested

get over to the patreon page to patch

your patreon

link around about this video

and get over there and have a look at

that behind the scenes number 11

all 11 are there i say publicly

available

have a look at this it's

my varnish has arrived yes

one liter can means i can get on and

finish those soul boards just the two

boards need two coats

and then the bottom step of the

companionway steps will also be done in

the oak strip

got enough to finish it finally pleased

about that

oh my god

what is that what is that

well it's not clear varnish is it

this company are really pushing my

patients

it took taking them two and a half weeks

to send me a can of irish

within germany when it arrives

it's purple

um

and then one of the things you may

remember one of the big reasons why i

wanted to pull the boat forwards

apart from of course getting finished

and getting rid of the shed

one of the things i wanted to do was to

get these caps on these

bulwarks and they've come out very well

we've got them on there

black locust capping all the way up

following the curve of the ball work

back and back to the aft end of the

breast hook

now stand it up ready for some varnish

feeling lovely and smooth up that bit

there that means the sand

there we go feeling lovely and smooth

and uh

ready for varnish as i say looking good

i think

i'm happy
