Paul & Sheryl: never to disappoint. I found this to be an amazing vid of not only 'ship' building but aluminum 'ship' building. Of all your boats this one isn't a sailboat. It's a Ship...! I worked in a few shipyards years ago in Norway so I have a good understanding of the process... Impressive and looking forward to more... Fair Winds...

I would definitely like to see more from the building and the techniques used by the yard and its employees, simply because very little is found on YT related to pleasure boats. So, please more, it would likely promote, and I know that many yachters seriously consider a new sailboat in aluminum for some high latitude or around the world adventures. Not everybody goes the big catamaran and barbeques in the sun route. Cheers.

Fascinating! It's amazing the advances that computerisation has made to the boat building industry. Holland has long been recognised as being in the forefront of aluminium yacht building, my Father was a yacht designer who traveled to Holland many time to see his work transformed from a blueprint to a finely crafted vessel. He spent most of his working life bent over a drawing board using a pencil, curves and draughting weights to fashion a good looking boat, the many calculations required were done with a slide rule, he would have been amazed at todays technology. Thanks for showing us the yard and we look forward to seeing the construction.

I remember when my dad and I started building our yacht. 7.3 m long and 2.5 wide hmmmm and only 7 years of construction :). Wooden hoof, composite mold, fuselage and that endless finish. 30 years have passed since then, the yacht has undergone several modernizations, and I graduated in yacht design, but I was not allowed to work on yachts. I support you very much and thank you for this adventure and a lot of new knowledge. Greetings from Poland. Roman.
