"It's really nice to see the boat taking shape" Indeed it is, Bob! She's looking wonderful and I cannot wait to see her sail!

Great work Bob. You have the knack for picking the right amount work to make an episode that has great content and yet seems to go by in a flash. Well done and Thanks for sharing!

Bob she is really taking shape and looking more beautiful as you add more pieces. She will be stunning on the water.

This boat building is like eating an elephant a bite at a time! Very exciting to see it coming out of it's chrysalis!

@fonhollohan2908 5 years ago

Well Bob she's taking shape and it appears as though you've accomplished quite a bit in this episode, enjoyed it thoroughly as usual.

Wonderful process video! It is looking better and better each week!

@rickfletcher8389 5 years ago

Hard to believe that it is nearly two years since the original episode about choosing which boat you were going to build. Not a lot further to go and you should be sailing her this summer. Lovely workmanship and your experience as a sculptor shows.

Great job! I would prime and Paint the inside of the mast step to prevent water infiltration when water runs down the mast.

@thepigwillfly5869 5 years ago

Great video as always.

@kevspss 5 years ago

Really looking good Bob. All that bilge work done, not much to do. Also love the smell of walnut.

@svlamancha9877 5 years ago

Bob, looking beautiful as always. 👍

Hi Bob. Long time viewer. First time commenting. Love your work. On the subject of your forward compartment. You need to have removable hatches that are left open, except when you are actually sailing. Condensation will form inside a sealed area and cause you problems. In modern dinghies you use circular hatches of 6-8” with plastic covers which are screwed in. You can get them in black or white plastic. There should also be a small vent hole. 1/8” is enough. To allow the air to equalise when pressure, for instance if boat goes from sitting in sun on a trailer then launched into cold water. Even a laser dinghy has a tiny breather hole under the forward end of toe strap to equalise pressure.

Thanks Bob! This project is looking better every week. I appreciate you taking time to do this, and your show is one of the few I've seen that seems like you do more than three or four hours of work a week. Your editing is great. Thanks so much. Keep up the hard work.
