Good fun to watch! Best of luck!

Very engaging video. It seemed that the tender plank you were bevelling was a long way off the forward mould. Unless you get that back tight, or tightish, it is unlikely you will be able to retrieve the shape - it will just get worse as you move up.

The mast......

Such a cool project! Can’t wait for the next video. Best of luck to you.

Would be worth you contacting AW plant services at GT Yarmouth for the eventual boat lift. The owners live in Stokesby and have boats of there own on the broads. I’m sure they would love to get involved in this!

10:01 How can the Maude of 1899 be similar to something that has yet to exist as of 2024?

My guess on the doug fir is for the gunnels.

I am so pleased to hear that you will be able to hoist LG out of the boat yard, I was fairly sure you could do it, but it's nice to have confirmation. Busy time ahead for you and your family.

Dinghy looks good! I'd be interested to hear why you chose to build her the right way up? I still can't decide which way to build up to put mine when I finally get going on the moulds. I suppose that Douglas fir must be for a mast!

As mentioned below, there were a few TInPot wherries made back in the day, and mine is a Timpot too. I used Gleaners (clinker) drawings as the basis for The Newun (indeed, The Newun has overlapping strips of steel in the clinker style - what a lot of welding, but strong as a very strong thing), but changed the length and width to suit the North Walsham and Dilham Canal (at the northern end of The Broads). The dimensions are 50ft x 12'4!" (no rudder yet, as I have the propeller in a short tube), I altered the botton a bit to allow for the now reduced draught of the canal, which I use, by installing a flat bottom. Of course, that would make sailing difficult, if not impossible without leeboards. But then I am a retired canal (narrowboat) boatman in retirement in Norfolk. I fitted an electric inboard engine which works a treat. Why struggle? I have toll-paid for The Broads as a workboat, simply because I rarely use it for pleasure and often load with felled trees as cargo (up to 19t robing drinker but with 2ft freeboard from the the top of the standing uprights [coamings to you non-norfolk folk]). I also use the gaff to lift trees onto/off the boat and out of the water and have employed modern electric winches in place of the back-breaking alternative to raise the mast and gaff. Just call me lazy - or just old. I wish you so well with this project, the end result looks as though it will be absolutely fantastic. I have done as you asked a put a link from The Newun's facebook page to yours.

I happened to see Albion out on the River Thurne a couple of weeks ago. I had hired a sailboat from Hunter's Yard for a three day cruise with a couple of friends. We were moored up for a look at the ruins of St. Benet's Abbey when Albion happened by.

i was trying to save the cost of a crane, maybe it could be launched at an angle, putting bouyancy bags under one side of the hull only, 11 ft beam afloat, but at 44 degrees tilt, the coaming may be underwater, it would need to be checked with a scale model, probably easier to use a crane if cash is no problem

Wherry entertaining ❤

I fully agree with you, that the sight of sails drifting serenely over the land is a beautiful thing!

Possibly a silly question but If you're going upriver, and have to lower the mast to get under a bridge, how do you keep moving forward? Do you have enough momentum to keep going, or does someone need to get out and push 😅

God, thank you for the reminders, Cantley sugar beet factory and the Reedham Ferry Inn. The hours spent quanting...... The Reedham rail bridge is sadly short of a coat of paint, isn't it ? Regards

Lovely sailing... rain only adds flavor~

Nice video. Are you familiar with the small dutch pushboats that were used with old sailing barges. One of them might be nicer than a dinghy with an outboard.

I was interested in boatbuilding... so bye

Great news! I can’t wait to see all those trees being repurposed. Let the wood chips fly!

An hour of video from the Albion trip would be fine by me 😊. Looking forward to the coming years of coverage.

Cheers!

Well, sorry about the local council causing difficulties (though from my studies of Yes Minister I believe that IS their job 😆😬), but it sounds like the boatyard might be better anyway. Hope the crane is strong enough for your full-sized wherry, and look forward to seeing more videos as you finish your dingy!

Good news! Yeah, it's gotta be full width. Please get on with the dinghy!! It seems silly but it's a proper wooden boat, even if a tiny one, and some people really love this stuff!

I hate how stupid "commissions" get to tell people what they can and cannot do with their own damn land. It's amazing that as a society we tolerate letting a few random people control our lives in such detail when it harms no one else.

I may be completely wrong, or out of date on this, but I seem to remember that Farmers have some kind of planning carve out and are able to build BARNS. If I recall correctly, they had a right to build them as required, and did not need planning permission. If this IS the case, perhaps the planning authority, given a choice between a permanent Barn, and a temporary Marquee, might have another . . . . . think. May be worth an enquiry.

Very happy to see this project coming along, albeit slowly, but steadily! Even though I've never set foot on the Broads, nor am I remotely English, I wholeheartedly wish to see Lady Garnet built and launched! I'm very fond of traditional/regional sailing boats. Being from Southern France, I'm very attached to our lovely "pointu" and I can definitely relate to your passion of trading wherries as part of your (adopted) regional heritage. I wish you the best of luck and I will be eagerly awaiting further updates!

Great update! I look forward to the build starting. I hope you are able to stick to your original dimensions for Lady Garnet.

sorry but pushing a wherry against an ebbing tide is a travesty they never had the luxury of an engine back in the day why cant they be used properly my wife and i crewed on albion 25 years ago it was an issue i felt then i used to encourage the use of the quants and the visitors in general loved it all mostly having a go please do not fall into this trap if you ever complete your build i wish you all the luck we did at one point look into raising the steel wherry Uranus which lies in Bargate broad it had been attempted some years ago i felt it would make an interesting project as she would have been the oldest wherry afloat but time has passed, but the last time i saw her she still looks sound in the hull being iron they used to call them tin pots sailed terribly cold in winter roasting in summer but still part of the history of the broads.

Hello Don, Good to see you back, As access to the Thames is fairly restricted from your boatyard, perhaps you could draw inspiration for a mob handed launching by Lias Wardani who builds wooden boats on the east coast of Borneo, Indonesia. 😃 He posted a YT video 2 years ago. Search: Wooden boat launching fishing model up 7 pieces long 17 meters wide 2.5 meters. This is his boatyard. The man is industrious & ingenious. www.google.com/maps/@1.1671209,118.7683618,3a,15.6y,115.65h,85.91t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAP4_vPEEaJyrcIf42qL1ig!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDgyMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Cordially, Perry

We are felling some standing dead elm trees soon will they be of use to you.

I think the fear with the council is that a tent erected for any length of time on agricultural land could legally be argued as a barn, once established as a barn it could then be converted to living accommodation . Even if they genuinely believed that the farmer in question would never pull such a stunt it would open up a precedence for less scrupulous land owners to develop green belt land. However it would seem that our charming new government is going to scrap the green belt rule so I would not be too hasty in giving up on the idea just yet. My other thought is that you might purchase a heavy duty lorry chassis place four large jacks close to the corners place it in situ , build a temporary scaffold off the chassis as a work platform and a support for your temporary roof. jack the chassis level and the chassis should provide a stable rigid level area to construct LG this might work at either location. and might circumnavigate your council rules. Thinking about it one of those very large heavy duty four wheel tow bar lorry trailers might do the trick. Of course there are certain rules covering the storage of large road transport rigs which would need to be checked but trailers are a normal part of agricultural practice. and could be labeled as a mobile sheep shearing rig/lambing shed that has been temporarily repurposed. Of course there is another option if I dare mention, move to the broads and build LG here.

I prepare to make restoration of 19 century wooden manor house for the client and have similar problem. Temporary means 180 days for tent shead. And I nead it for 2-3 years. U do not make boat shorter. Buld it nire the gate wher can be load for boat truck and splash it in diferent place.

This reminds me of when I lived in Warwick and walked along the canal towpath on my way to work in Leamington Spa and back. There is, or was at that time, a boat builder on the canal that built wide beam, steel-hulled dutch barge style boats that were far too large even to get under the nearby bridges and I wondered many time as I walked past, how on earth they moved the boats. Well, there was a hull being built at the time and I saw her put into the water for fitting out whilst a new hull was started on the land. the work progressed and then one morning, the boat was no longer at the yard. She had gone. Utterly intrigued I visited the boat yard that same day and asked how they moved the boat. They told me that a local crane company came and hoisted they completed boats out of the water, over the boat shed and onto a specially made road trailer in their front yard. Once that was completed and the boat lashed down then was driven to the appropriate docks for launching into the sea or river or where ever the customer wanted. Even so I was dubious since the roads in that area were quite narrow and the load was a wide load requiring warning vehicles in front of and behind the truck, but they assured me that this was how they had always done it and it worked well. So, take heart, option one is most certainly possible as the hull I saw exceeded the dimensions you had laid out for Lady Garnet, probably by a considerable margin. [Edit] I've just checked and the boatyard is still there, it's Delta Marine Services and their web site shows a number of the boats that they have built over the last 30 years.

Temporary farm building I’m surprised maybe you shouldn’t have asked!😂

Are you sure you want to begin a multi-year project in England?

I'm looking forward to see Lady Garnet being built. God speed! Would it be an option to put her on a trailer and get her to a bigger hoist bay?

Yes - Leo got chased all over the USA because local NIMBYs didn't want a polythene tent in their field of view. A boatyard does seem the best place to build a .....boat. I look forward to the sailing footage to come.....!

Grew up with Beach Boys music here in the UK. Evokes memories of my youth.

Well done sir. I will follow your progress avidly. I'm British and I still use feet and inches. Good luck.

There's 3 sail cargo vessel in the pacific trading mixed domestic cargos and island supplies

Hello, would your design be able to carry standard shipping containers? Or does it require a return to break-bulk cargo?

Yes, you really need to buck those rivets.Somewhere i have a special clamp with a u-shaped top that fits around the rivet, allowing access and the back has a single arm that fits over the head of the rivet, not that that helps you, but maybe you could find one over there. Or maybe a local smithy could make one for you. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Here in the Netherlands you still see fully laden barges, up to 3000 tonnes, with the gangways (side decks) under water.

Hi don a tad off topic, i have an enterprise dinghy with the sail no 1134 i was wondering if you would be able to find out her age ( must be pretty old with the relatively low number) i have tried to find out but cannot find it anywhere. many thanks and good luck on your project!
