    On another channel a couple refitted a 1960 Ingrid 38 and it's a beautiful craft. They post videos from the South Seas randomly about a month apart and surely don't do it for the money. I visualize your Cape George 36 to be just as nostalgic and beautiful as Julia, the Ingrid 38.

    Good job, I know of 3 old timber vessels that got into trouble, the last one went down in very rough weather with all hands so fast that they couldnt even get a mayday call out, (I think she sprung one or two long planks, one abutting the keel the other halfway between the waterline and the keel. In every case it was the old adage "dont worry this boat has been sailing for the last 40/50/80/120 whatever years" and its still as good when she was built.

    Like your boat. I just found this channel and I am a couch sailor of some provenance with an affinity for wood boats and boat building. Given my complete lack of experience I do have 1 question. Why did you put the chain plates through the deck rather than fastening them to the outer hull? Won't that be a potential cause for leaks? Most wood boats I've seen do it otherwise. Just curious.

    • @MadisonBoatworks
      @MadisonBoatworks  3 года назад +1

      It's mostly a stylistic choice, more "yachty" to have them inside the planking. In my case I wanted to match the other chainplates. None of them have leaked, though it could happen if poorly installed.

  • @SLOWBOAT2CHINA
    @SLOWBOAT2CHINA 3 года назад +1

    Fascinating video, thanks. You have a beautiful boat. Was it white primer paint that you were dipping the fasteners in before screwing them into the frames? To reduce the risk of rot or to make them hold better? Also, did you replace only portions of the old caulking? If so, how did you know which parts of the seams needed recaulking? Thanks!

    • @MadisonBoatworks
      @MadisonBoatworks  3 года назад +2

      It was primer, to lubricate the screw and seal the wood grain in the hole. I just recaulk areas that weep a little water to seal them up.

  • @MikeAG333
    @MikeAG333 3 года назад +6

    Interesting that you attached the chainplates to a backing board which was only fastened to the planking locally, and not to the frames. Not only does that not look sound enough to me, but it surely also complicates any future plank replacement. Then the floors were also attached direct to the planks, and with steel fittings. There's an awful lot about those two processes which leaves me scratching my head.

    • @MadisonBoatworks
      @MadisonBoatworks  3 года назад +10

      Hi Mike,
      It was more important to me to have the chain plate in line with the load rather than aligned with a frame. I feel pretty good about the engineering, it is through bolted to the top 5 strakes as well as the heavy shear clamp. My one concern is a possible stress concentration at the end of the backing block. I'll keep an eye on it!
      All the fastenings in this boat are iron, and it is a bad idea to mix metals underwater. Those are marine grade hot dipped fasteners and will be good for the next 60 years if the originals are any indication.
      Thank for the comment!

    Hello Jonathan & Whitney,
    What a beautiful ship you have! Julia looks so well and perfectly maintained and taken care off :))
    When watching several videos, my attention was caught on two things: what is the white material you use between the planking below the waterline? And I think you built the self steering device yourself, is it your own design, are there any drawings of it?
    I am the lucky owner of a wooden Rassy, built in Sweden in 1963. It is a sloop, 30 ft long, 3 tons. I am working on her for many years, so I know a little bit of how much effort it costs to renovate a wooden ship and keep the old lady in a good condition...
    Wish you both beautiful voyages!

    Maarten (The Netherlands)

    • @MadisonBoatworks

      Between the planks we first put in cotton caulking, the cotton is sealed with paint and then we use seam compound over that to fill the remaining gap. The windvane was built to plans found in a book by Bill Belcher.

    • @dendro3561
      @dendro3561 2 года назад +1

      Let me try to answer this. I have a wooden boat myself, 56 years old now. My concern on the structure quality after that time covers exactly the areas improved here. Keelbolts might rot, no matter what material they are made from. Same for screws and rivets that keep the planks to the keel and the stem. If they come loose in a storm, you are in trouble. You need to check the stem timber structure and see if it needs fixing too, which was likely done here. Same for the floor timber. It stiffens the hulls lower section, so the keels load doesn't twist it when the boat heels over. This may otherwise lead to leakage of keel planks. If you sail coastal, you might trust the old structure if you know it long enough, but going on an ocean requires some deeper thought and, probably, action.

    When the bolts come off, take them off and change them.
    But why use a "persuasive approach" (cutting them…) if they don't come off? It only means they still do their job properly so I feel it would be dangerous to replace them : you know what you're taking off (basically good bolts) but you don't know what you replace them with.

We're negative here. Give Auntie M the money to buy the boat. She'll give it to us as a gift. Minimal taxes and F the rest. Now, it's just you and me and grit. If they don't accept the deal it's just you and you can find your true partner beyond the blue water.

    Are wooden boats good for the tropics ? I hear worms can attack them but there are many myths in sailboats .

      The tropics are generally hard on every material, but worms are only an issue if the bottom paint is left in poor condition. A softwood boat doesn't mind visiting the tropics, but it doesn't want to be left there for many years.

    Uhh, sorry. Wooden Boats are sure nice to look at BUT need an incredible amount of work and with that cost. I heard that there are wurms, they penetrate wood from the underwater and destroy it completely. I have wood inside my blue water boat, sure. But little outside.
