Welcome to my channel. I love working with wood. There are projects here from woodturning to chair making. Recently I have been building a clinker wooden boat the traditional way. This series of films will follow the project from oak trunk to finished boat and sailing. I hope you enjoy watching and many thanks for taking the time to visit.

Well I guess I should be able to build a boat in about 2months because in my mind I think I could build one 1️⃣ month. I greatly overestimate my ability. 😂 realistically it’s probably going to take me years
I savor every installment. I never watch more than one at a time. Each one leaves me content. This is a series the quality of which is rarely encountered these days. I fear the day I have watched them all. When that day comes, I suppose I shall have to start at the beginning and watch them all over again.
Best thoughts and well wishes for Conner.
I watched your first 2 episodes, and I’m hooked. Enjoy everything about your channel, the story telling, the fact that I get so tickled watching y’all two went on about the GoPro turning on and off 😂 But also the boat building, you guys work fast. However I’m upset that I’m so far behind. Anyway, you have another sub. Thank you for sharing. Center Texas
Well done indeed! And thank you for sharing. Very much looking forward to seeing her under sail!
Excellent work chaps. You birthed a buetyfull baby boat. And what amazing memories this gourgous little craft will create. Thanks for bringing us along. Inspiring stuff ❤
Wonderful job, the boat is a thing of beauty. I can't wait to see her sail. Cheers
I am very happy to have found your youtube site! I have been hooked on the Tally Ho journey with Leo Sampson, now to enjoy your journey with the Morgan Giles dinghy. I have got plans for François Vivier's Ilur “classic” and will start building soon... Just need to convince my wife the boat is more important than the house :)
What a wonderful journey through an inspirational project of vision, skill and teamwork. Beautifully filmed and paced in such a way that even those of us not au fait with carpentry or boat building have enjoyed every minute. Well done to the two blokes !
Great project and great result. Well done guys. Looking forward to seeing Spirit sailing.
Terrific to see her launched, has been very enjoyable watching the build, all the best, cheers 🍻
Utterly brilliant - what an inspiration you have been! Wishing you lots and lots of fun on the water. Thank you
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Alcoholics..😂
congratulations and many happy days in her
Very brave and great job guys! We always have a quiet builders launch before letting the great unwashed pass judgement.
She looks awesome Proper job gentlemen 🎉😉👍
Fanbloodytastic!
Love it! Congratulations on this milestone in your project. I believe I feel at least some of the thrill that I know you experienced.
Well done gents! I never had a doubt. Cant wait to see her sail! Happy adventures!
The best! Shes a marvel and you blokes did a great job! Let the sailing adventures begin.
Well done, gentlemen. Congratulations
An achievement to be proud of…not just the skill & craft…but taking the time to share the ups, the downs…the mistakes & the wins. Looking forward to seeing how she sails. Well done!
Congratulations chaps a very nice boat happy adventure's
Wow! What an incredible achievement. Well done 👏 I have really enjoyed watching you both bring your boat to life. I hope she brings you both lots of happiness because you deserve it.. all the best and happy sailing ⛵️
Excellent! Thanks for the inspiration.
Absolutely magnificent, well done you two. 🎉 I have loved every single minute of your videos, so refreshing and inspiring. I hope you continue to video sailing Spirit for some time to come. ❤️👏👏👏
Quite wonderful, boys, and an inspiration to us all. Let’s go!
Huzzah!!
Congratulations!!! It has been a wonderful experience to follow you two building this beauty.
What can I add to all the comments below? The joy and pleasure you two blokes must feel must be indescribable to see Spirit on the water. You have done a wonderful job and given us followers much pleasure following the trials and tribulations of building. Thank you so much for all and I look forward to seeing her under sail.
Just caught up with Leo's epic rebuilding, 190+ episodes in 3-weeks. Now it's your turn to fill my evenings whilst travelling the Trent & Mersey in my steel NB. I'm thoroughly looking forward to this journey! Thank you.
Bravo gentlemen, bravo! If you hadn't released this video in the hours before the British Grand Prix, I would have seen it sooner. What a week... New Government, Cavendish gets the iconic 35th stage win of the Tour de France, Lewis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix for a record 9th time (and his first win in 2 1/2 years, and two blokes release a CZcams video of their new boat floating. Magical!!
The smile on your faces says it all. Well done to both of you. A great project appreciated by me and many others
Well done chaps!
I know nothing of boat building but I still found this absolutely fascinating and am so impressed by your skills. Jon. A really lovely film.
Well done Two blokes. Thank you for taking us along. Hoping for another project from you both. God bless you and keep you.
Congratulations gentlemen on a job well done. And that’s the point isn’t it? Thank you.
Beautiful!!! Spirit looks absolutely beautiful afloat. Well done 😊😊😊
Every reason to be proud lads. Amazing achievement. Thankyou again for sharing.🙂
Spirit has come a long way since you laid the keel, she looks beautiful sitting on the water! Congratulations on both the building of Spirit and your wonderful documentaries that brought the whole thing to life, well done to you both!
Well done guy's. I look forward to the further adventures of Spirit and Two Blokes Sail a Boat!
So beautiful many congratulations
Bittersweet. The world has gained a beautiful boat, but I have lost my favorite CZcams project to watch. Beautiful boat, gentlemen, from Tucson AZ.
I know the feeling. I Recently launched my self build red cedar canoe. I was so happy that it floated. 😅 Greetings from the Netherlands.
That’s definitively YTs best video series in the category two blokes building a Morgan Giles dinghy!😂 On a more serious note, my english lacks words that strongly enough describes how impressed I am - from the Giles design, via the building process to the narrative. Wish you fair winds and that some of them will be distributed here! Cheers!
Hooray! Congratulations gentlemen, it must be an amazing feeling! Can’t wait to see her under sail!
As a retired cabinetmaker, former local and having had a boat on a mooring on the Estuary (near Cockwood) this series had a special meaning to me so I congratulate you on the launch and thank you for the hours of enjoyment while watching
the beauty of a wooden boat fibreglass cannot compete with well done guys a lovely job safe sailing Spirit
The deed is done, beautiful! I smell something like freedom in the air.
