I guess that’s a good thing?! Thanks so much 😃👍. Next video is about gear and then we’re on the van again, with hopefully a bit of boat in there for good measure 🤞

Cheers Eric!

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know 🤙

Hey! Now that sounds pretty epic! I would need to think about the next part of the process but that’s an interesting thought. Thanks

Hi! That’s tickled me, what a cool comment to wake up to! Honestly though, I’m just a boatbuilder, but thanks, it’s nice to be appreciated 👍

Hi, I’m afraid the iPhones have a specific LiDAR Scanner - it’s the small circle next to the camera lenses on the 15 pro. It specifically measures light alone so I’m sorry it’s iPhone only at present. But… photogrammetry will still work for you, and it’s more accurate in our experience too 🥲

Hey Jack, check out Andy’s channel- he’s not into covering the truth up and there is a full cost breakdown on absolutely everything he has done including the overall costs. It’s fair to say he saved a fortune!

Hi! Thanks very much 👍. We’ve got a few more videos coming all out it. We’re generally trying to keep it as relevant to boats as we can, pretty good fun for sure!

Hey Nuno!! Cheers man, you want to see some of the stuff going in here, mate the toilet is insane! 🙃

Hi Garry, thanks fella! 👍

That’s kinda true but there also the issue of amperage, blow torches and the likes, I depends on the hull thickness as for what you need really and if your going to take a TIG set then the price increases as you need an AC set, but for sure… the inverted sets are still so much cheaper and smaller than the transformer alternatives!

Yeah, pretty strange not to see a toroidal prop at the show at all. Hopefully see some next year!

Thanks! Much appreciated 👍

Hi Steve, thanks for such. Positive comment, really valuable mate! 👍😃

Cheers Ian, yeah it’s mostly the same thing just knowing what to do where. Pretty simple really 👍

Thanks Ron! Hopefully you will be around to see the next few videos about the van, we’ve got some cool stuff happening that I’m really proud of 😀

@@SailHub I wouldn’t miss it for anything.Fantastic craftsmanship with little to no proper tools.

Thanks Ron! That’s so nice of you, we’re receiving comments about the van but we have little choice as we can only film with the time we have. It nice to have some supportive comments, it really is! Thanks again!

Hey up fella! Great to hear from you - go cut some wood! Cheers 👍😃

Hey Nick! Thanks for the comment, really good to hear your thoughts. As for the HVO, yeah… we’ve got a lot on our plate and also with the plan for the boat and all of that jazz too. That’s why your not seeing any shorts I guess, we did a bunch but they were rather detrimental at that point to be honest and we just don’t really have the time at present - hopefully see some tech stuff coming out in shorts when the van is done. It’s a hard game to crack CZcams… we like to feel proud of our work, both on the tools and the camera so we’re struggling with time at present but I’m sure we will find the recipe eventually!!

Cheers! Much appreciated 👍⛵️

Hey Peter, cool to see Tally Ho! Afloat ay!!!! Such an achievement for those guys!! Great to have you onboard with us too, thanks!👌😃

Hey! Cheers mate, much much appreciated!! 🙃

Ah thanks! So nice to hear! Gotta love cedar strip, we built a hull once like that, pretty cool technique and cedar is a real joy to work! 👍

Hey Cyril! Thanks for taking the time to comment, super nice of you! 👍

​@@SailHub I just spent some time on your website, I really like your project. Here is what crossed my mind while browsing: - I'd like to know more about the boat as a character. Where / when was it made, by whom (prior owner, KM, owners of the other 2 boats, architect, other boats of this era, comparison to modern equivalents...) - More about Chris as a credible source of advice - CZcams is full of beginners and its great, but you have a different positioning, which deserves to be developed. Show more about your "professional boat builder" story. Explain your relationship with tools, with gear. What are your core skills vs what you're learning / experimenting. - Jenni comes across as a supporting character. Like Chris, some of her key competencies have been asserted ("I am a project manager"). It is promising but you could obviously go further in establishing Jenni's role. Supporting Chris with his injury rehab could be part of the story. Will he make it? As an aging amateur sailor, injuries and physical limitations are one of my areas of interest... I am not the only one. - Maybe give more meat to the sustainability story. It is a new trend. It is unclear. Some are moralizing zealots, others are wise doubters... I think there is a space for a voice of reason, aware of the latest innovations and research. As a boat owner / future boat owner, how can I have a more respectful boat while keeping it practical and on budget. - Tighter videos; I noticed you were sometimes repeating the same key words / ideas. The technical quality is amazing. - The van as a boat prototype is fun (hatches, bulkheads...); maybe explain more why it makes sense. - I discovered your channel when you were touring boat shows. I think the way you openly showcase innovative products is interesting and different. It builds on the previous videos, as the guys who know it all, both about the gadgets of the year (that's fun) and the important strategic choices for the boat design. I would like to know more about these new innovative Lewmar hatches, this new heater... Why is it new, what's at stake?

Hey up! Cheers guys!

Hey Paul! Thanks for commenting! Yeah, there’s a lot of us out there still, but it’s becoming less and less that I meet traditionally trained people in the yards, it’s nice to her that it’s still something people are interested in or enjoy watching! Thanks 👍

Hey Timothy! Jenni will be stoked to hear this, so cool you noticed the effort, so many people let it pass by. Thanks for letting us know, it means a lot! 👍⛵️🎥

Great to hear! Thanks 😃

Thanks! I’m not sure we’ve been called clever before! 😃👍

Hey Guy, thanks mate.. feels like I’ve got bigger fish to fry here, maintaining a broken spine at the moment 😬. But your right, I need to take care of the problems I can’t see yet. I do have pads in the work pants if I’m down on my knees all day but most days I’m at the bench so I just don’t bother - when I stops to think, I guess your right, that’s not clever. The closed cell foam mate, it sounds so cushy that I might just have to give it a go! Thanks for suggesting, I really appreciate it 😃

Cheers Robin, I would love a good thicknesser, and the space for one! (Nits not our workshop). Back in the day we had a belter! Mind you I’m not likely to thickness down to 1.5-2mm, it will likely tear out as it’s hard to keep the timber flat.A wide belt sander is a good option here but then… that depends on your clientele - it’s surprising the difference between hand and machine. We may post about that later but I’m not sure many people care 🤷‍♂️

@@SailHub yeah fair enough, at that thickness it will start likely start chattering and you’ll have a real mess.

@@robinhodgkinson yeah, despite that I will still take any thicknesser that’s going spare!

Hey up fella, for sure. We don’t really know what people want, to be honest we thought that would be boring as it’s the same as the steaming jig just with glue. Sorry man, next time ay! Thanks for the input! 👍

@@SailHub Always keen to see a master craftsman at work.

Cheers mate 👍👌

Cheers Philip! Much appreciated 👍😀

Wahey! Cheers👍

Thanks Ruben! That’s cool to hear👍😀

Hey guys! How’s the Ollie bump?! Great to hear form you and thanks!! For sure, can’t wait to catch up again soon! 🤙⛵️🚐

Cheers Herbert! Much appreciated 👍⛵️

Hey up lad! Cheers for that! 👍🤙

Ah cheers for that! Are you going to give the steamer a shot?!

@@SailHub yes

Ahhh! Now we’re talkin’! Let us know how you get in over on Instagram, I would love to hear from you!

Many thanks for your comment! Modern hulls have often have a single hard chine, however I think you will find that a hard chine is an angular join my friend… a multiple hard chine boat would be the likes of an Ovni. /I’ve been building boats a while matey, 😉

Hi Kev, great to have you on board! Thanks!!

For sure! He’s a real legend ay! Aluminium! - not sure if you’ve seen our last couple of videos but we’re just starting the build of an aluminium boat! 👍

Haha! Im not sure I can recommend it… it’s been away for weeks already with warranty and I’m told it could be away for a year. Tudor pelagos

@@SailHub Thanks! That's a pity. It looked very legible. At least it's under warranty!

@admacdo yeah. All good… unbelievable returns policy - expect to wait a year?! Whatttt! Nuts. Anyhow, it’s not the end of the world, I’m always late anyhow!

Really?! Where are you? Were about 20mins from Zurich airport.

@@SailHub We're in Aarau. Sorry for the slow reply. I somehow thought that I would get a notification from Gmail if you replied (First time that I have commented on CZcams expecting a reply). I'm off to Calabria tomorrow until the 9th to look at a boat. So I'll be unavailable until the 10th. Is there any way to send a private message or email on YT? Don't really want to share all my details.

@timfranklin1 hey! No worries, we feel privileged you commented! You can send email to info@sail-hub.com, I wouldn’t be sharing your details online either! Looking at a boat ay! Exciting! If you have any questions about it just give us a shout, maybe we can help. Cheers, Chris

They would be cool to see! 👍⛵️

Hi Martin!! What an aweseome comment to wake up too! Thanks so much for your support, it makes a huge difference to us! - hopefully you like the next video, we’re a bit nervous putting it out as it a about the van, we’re hoping it’s received ok as it’s traditional steam bending boatbuilding skills 🤞

Hi! Thanks is for your comments I’m sure your potential customers will be very pleased to read this. 👍 As for not trying it yourself, personally I think is it’s a sense to option to try, not because it’s easy, far from it. But because it’s safe, a re-rig for example is maybe not a good diy job. Oh, the vinyl is still going strong too. But yes, agreed most rolled vinyl will only last a year or so.

Hey George, Thanks for that! Rally nice of you and much appreciated. Btw we would love to see your boat and what you did, what is she.

For sure! She’s a belter!!
