- January, 2021: Josh Swan of J.W. Swan Boatworks is a sawyer, arborist, educator, boatbuilder, and boat restorer who lives in Ashland, Wisconsin. Andrew Guest, shipwright and Rosalind's owner, visited last winter to pick up half of the larch planking stock he bought from Josh, then, in this video, returns in October, 2020 to pick up the rest and to raid Josh's piles for other useful things. In this video, Josh talks about why larch makes for great planking, is lovely to harvest, and is appropriate for Rosalind. Andrew talks about the other wood he selects, and where that wood will be put to work on Rosalind. Andrew finds some Cornish pasties in the Upper Peninsula. And finally, we pay tribute to Captain Luc Maheu, who died tragically and suddenly in October. To come: more toolmaking, rudder design and building, and as requested, a primer on the goos and glues used in Rosalind's construction.
Rosalind, a vernacular working sailboat built in St. Ives by William Paynter, has had a long and well traveled life. She's being rebuilt in Mystic, Connecticut by Andrew Guest, a boatbuilder and restorer who had already been thinking about building a lugger when he found this one destined for the chainsaw in Oxford, Maryland. Subscribe to this channel to follow her extensive restoration.

Love the music.It really blends well with the traditional theme of wooden boat building
Came to your site because of the guys on "Acorn to Arabella." Enjoy watching large pieces of wood being incorporated into sailing craft. From the third coast.
Great episode. Josh is such a nice and enthusiastic bloke.
Great episode. You need more fans... this project needs a larger audience. I’m just happy to have found you. All the best for 2021. 🇨🇦
edited to add: continuing to make progress on the shop. I finally paneled over that ugly insulation inside. You guys came out about a month too soon. Glad you three (and the truck) made it here and back. Eager to have you back in Lake Superior country again soon. Keep up the great work. -Josh
That kind of dense-growth larch makes extremely superior frame for windows, old windows from 100+ years ago were made of this type of wood, and has rot resistency that is unbelievable.
whereabouts? very cool, and yeah it's wonderful stuff
Wow, that was impressive! Absolutely loved the music! Thank you
wonderful video, and a nice tribute, May he Rest in Peace.
Fun music
Great episode. Loved the music, learnt from Josh, enjoyed the views and colours. So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend Luc. It's been a tough year all over, let's hope for better.
Great to see you again. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this one! Really informational, spirited/uplifting and also just nice :)
Keep up the good work! And it seems you are also stronger again than you were several months ago!
I really enjoyed this!
Bonjour Andrew,
"Permets-moi de te présenter mes meilleurs vœux et te souhaiter une bonne année 2021 avec notamment de belles étapes dans ton magnifique projet".
Amicalement, Raphaël
Very informative. Thanks for posting.
Great, informative video. So sad to hear about Luc Maheu. Just saw the obituary in Wooden Boat.We don't have enough young Traditional Boaties to lose any!
Keep up the good work.
I recognize that handsome Wisconsin boat builder ;) nice video Andrew! Hope we get to see you the next time you’re thru town.
Wow.....best wishes in 2021
Awesome welcome to 2021!
So glad you're still at it! First and foremost, though, be well!
A new video for New Year's day. Thanks!
Happy New Year and all the best on the build!! Like your video's
Hurray! He’s back!
At last, I now know what Hakamatak (spelling?) is, been idly wondering. How did the Pasty rate?
It's soggy in Cornwall today, very, very soggy.
Happy New Year and all the best to you and Rosalind in '21.
Thank you, and to you! Well I still wish I was there, have to say the real Cornish ones are better but in this heathenish pasty deficient land it was a tolerable substitute!
Nike flag on the Wall 😀🇸🇪
Why is there a swedish flag there?
Blessings from Sweden! 🙂
Josh's heritage, he's descended from Swedes. Thank you and happy new year!
Thanks! It draws some ire from the norwegians around here, along with my "parking for swedes only" sign outside. Both the flag and sign I inherited from my dad's workshop.
