Once this bullshit virus is over I'll be building a metal fabrication shop with the savings I have left ! projects like this push me to stop thinking about it, and just start doing. Thanks Finn, keep the content going!
Dear j.c. 👍👌👏 Same here. Don't know sail life but I have watched all episodes of Sailing Magic Carpet (a really friendly couple making fantastic videos, at least for my kind of taste). Maybe you like this channel too (especially the videos about the Mediterranean sea perhaps). Best regards, luck and health.
I first saw you when you were working with Leo on Tally Ho. I've looked for you a couple of time, but today you just popped up on my youtube feed. Good to find you, and best of luck with your project!
Same here. Was going to check out the channel when it was first mentioned but forgot at the time. Glad I have found this channel and will watch progress with interest. Stay safe guys.
I thought this was Acorn To Arabella when I started watching it. Then it dawned on me....another cool boat building channel!!!!! From watching the steel boats of Dangar Marine, Project Brupeg, and SV Seeker to these wood boat projects like Salt and Tar. What a thrill to see people live out their passions.
I've been enjoying your Video series so far and admire your enthusiasm and skills, along with your meeting some of your Mates! I am a retired Diesel Truck Mechanic and sailor so I can identify with you and your project! I would like to suggest that you build a set of wide stairs going up into the boat, in lieu of using a ladder. This would not only make for a safer environment but would also save "wear and tear" on you while making it easier to get material in/out of the boat.
Your work rate will have this boat knocked into shape in no time at all, well, probably about 2 years from now, isn't that the line that all boat builders adopt. Seriously though you're doing a great job and making good progress.
Well done, wish I had the balls to do it when I was your age. Now I have two kids and a mortgage and it all slips further away ! Wish you all the best with your project and adventure xx
Ahh Finn-all by yourself-ain't it just GRANDE-doing what you love, sharing with those that want and entertaining yourself for years to come on the waves.
Nice work mate, I live in Whitstable and run a family boat out of oare creek. Once this mess is over I will pop by and give you a days labour. Love the boat and the barn. See you soon Mike.
I enjoyed your video very much and when you were working on Tally Ho. £800 to set up a workshop is buttons. Well done Finn. I'll donate when I see the link to do that. All the best from North- east Scotland. Michael
Nice project en video's! For the load side...maybe adding an immersion heater element(s) in a water tank, instead of a normal resister as load, to have hot water on windy days. And on the 230-240 side, since you create electricity, you might consider an earth rod, to have good grounding and use of RCB/RCCB on the output for extra safety. Rod length and thickness is dependent on the type of ground the barn is on. A house electrician must know this. Also the generator needs a grounding but I do not know if those can be the same. Good luck with your project, and I hope you can continue under these lockdown circumstances.
2 yrs ago Visiting Tally Ho popped up in my feed. Watching ever since. Your project just popped up and I’ll be watching. In 2008 I was working in a Marina in La Paz Mexico, a chance encounter introduced me to a ferro cement sailboat. She was originally named Harmony built by Patrick Cotten in Half Moon bay in the 70’s. He also built other ferroboats. I believe Harmony was his first. He wrote a book "Harmony in Yacht Design, Construction and Cruising" ... really good book !! amazon has it. Cotten sold the boat to John Amos (the actor/ really great guy) who renamed her Halley’s Comet after a play his daughter wrote. In 2008 John had her in La Paz as non-profit foundation and day sailing venture for underprivileged children. I met John in the Marina Bar and after chatting for a while he invited me aboard, also gave me the book, signed to him by Cotten. I was in awe of how beautiful the boat was. The hull was so fair It was hard to believe it was cement, smooth as a glass hull. So quiet below deck too. And like icing on a cake there was a 88 key piano built in to the salon too. Amazing! Google search for pics.
I'm going to stay on this journey with you till the very end when you have it in the water and you are sailing away I know you say thank you to everybody but honestly I can't say thank you enough you are really a true inspiration how I found you was through the Sampson I got a feeling Leo's going to come and help you it'll be some Rockin Good Times all you guys are really great keep up the good work and God bless you and yours
I am enjoying watching your adventure with this beautiful boat. I was hoping that you would be telling us that you were going to sell the barn After you are done with it in order to recoup some of the funds you put into it! It would seem the correct thing to do unless you are getting a reduction in the space rent. Either way, you did a fine job of building it and it would be a real asset to the yard.
The lockdown has its benefits as well as its drawbacks. Keep at it, Finn. Just found your channel today and love your project. Makes me tired to watch ... but I will persevere!
You should build yourself a basic staircase so you don’t have to use that ladder every time you get on or off the boat. You will never regret having one.
Hi Finn from New Zealand, I'm on a similar journey and three years into it. Will be watching as you post, best of luck! I had to stop the boat as it was lockdown in the workshop or at home, as it's a pretty cold shop and winter is coming on for us the house won sadly. NZ lockdown is pretty strict and I'm only allowed to visit the shop to check it while i'm out shopping for food or essential. Who on earth decided that building a boat is not essential??? It's all about having (possibly) an accident that requires hospital intervention and straining medical resources. Good luck buddy, Paul
Just binge watched you so far. Fantastic. Hope you can sell your boat shed to the yard when it's not needed any more. It would be a pity to see all that work go to waste. As a yachtsman I can appreciate the project. Enjoy the experience. John.
Well done on starting stripping the Boat in earnest, you can prepare for years, but making that first cut in the coach roof was a heck of a milestone! One day I hope to see two videos, taken at the same time, of you and Leo meeting on blue water, wouldn't that be something? Two Years, you can do it!
A friend of mine said to me the other day what a great time it would be to get into some boat building - no work, no visitors, no interruptions. Problem is, no boat! Keep up the good work and videos. Subscriptions will grow.
Way to go, Finn!! Of course watching you help Leo with Tally Ho gives a hint of the type of person you are, and I kinda knew you were end up a builder and a sailor on your own grounds. It makes me very happy to see you've started a project yourself. I will follow you and even help if I can. Looks like you found an amazing vessel to work on. I wish you the best, and really hope you'll enjoy building it and sailing it. Be safe in these uncertain times. It's great to see you in youtube again, big hug from California!!
Great project! You're off to a special introduction with Leo working on Tally-Ho and have a very inspiring craft to complete. You and Leo are young men we get to admire. The world needs more to truly admire. Highest Blessings
Two minutes in and I thought you were going to do yourself a real nasty on that ladder...it made my eyes water. I am surprised at the amount of rot in that timber for a boat that never made it into the water, what did they use? No matter what, I think you made the right choice chopping the top off for easier access and hopefully an easier build and of course you can do a proper job of the top later. I hope you manage to get a lot done during this here plague and pestilence but stay safe...I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on. Keep up the good work matey.
Ya haha seen that too!! Funny not funny..I broke the top 3 steps of my old wooden ladder Yesterday and fell off the back of the boat. Hit the hard with a heavy backpack on.. Only twisted my ankle. Thank God I did not crack my head.. Can't trust climbing on old Wood..
@@willshaw3561 Glad you are OK...it could have been bad!Best thing with wooden ladders is....to BURN them.. I wouldn't have a wooden one again after the middle rungs gave way and I DID do myself a nasty....
From what I've learned watching the Tally Ho project, wooden boats have much more of a tendency to rot in fresh water than salt water, and problems arise when they've been out of the sea for a while. This boat has likely been sat out in the rain for a long time
Stay safe Finn, followed you across from Tally Ho. Australia is plenty crazy too. Keep the videos coming, well watch them. Always will be opportunity for people with hand skills. Dont forget with wind you will still be able to draw power at night. So your dump and fuse setup is different to solar. Im having the same confusion. Thankfully have grid feed in, roof top solar, so somewhat better off
Really enjoying your channel Finn, just binge watched your videos and its come on great. Just one thing though I would seriously think about those gable overhangs on your barn, the constant wind over time will get under them and throw your tins all over like a pack of cards. I would consider cutting them flush and capping them or run some timber over the ends and screw them down with lots of screws, I always found tek screw weak in wood. I just did some work on a shed at home and i run heavy duty ratchet straps from the floor over the roof and own to the floor the other side, worked a treat. Good luck with your build and I look forward to future vlogs.
Well done Finn - i’m new to watching your channel and films and find it absolutely fascinating!You are an inspiration! Good luck with the rest of the build I’m gonna be watching with interest! Good luck. Sean / Oxford
Hey Finn!! Over from Tally Ho. New Sub. Stoked for you my dude. The barn looks great. No excuse now eh!! With you all the way. Landlubber from NZ. (Say Safe Bro)
Nice! I didn't realise you had a channel and your own boat although I should have guessed after seeing you smashing in to Tally-ho. Subbed and "hi" from Australia. Look forward to watching progress. Ash.
Good luck Finn! Fun to watch you toss up that shed. Lovely concise summary of your boat’s back story too. 40 years she’s been waiting to take her first bath. Good luck to her this go round.
Your dump load should be a connection off your charge controller. The controller should programmable so that when the batteries are full, it will redirect any incoming charge from the wind turbine to the dump load. What kind of charge controller do you have?
I didn't know you had your own channel! Was wondering where you had been. Episode 6 hey? Looks like I'm going to have to go watch 1-5 so I can find out why you're tearing apart this seemingly healthy boat. Cheers Finn, glad to see you on RUclips again.
Great to see you working away on a boat here Finn! Thanks for sharing the project, hope things can muddle through successfully for you there in the barn and you can make progress, even with everything all locked down. Cheers!
In the early stages of this rebuild you was talking about the low head room for the shower . well seems like the perfect time to raise the whole thing and get the head room you need , will watch till you sail great series
Hi Finn, wandered over from sampson boat co. When you said you purchased a boat I didn't realise you meant a proper boat.. good going. have subscribed and will give you some thumbs ups...
G'day Finn, can't help with wiring but suggest you mount the dump load (heater coils) outside the enclosure away from the batteries and controller. If you get a big dump through those coils they will pump out a fair bit of heat by the looks. good luck with the build stay safe
I'm 35.. And building my boat on the hard and doing a total refitting beside the work shed. I am living out of a box I built on a trailer out of plywood and 2x2 . Have my truck powering everything Hahahha.. Best time to build a boat well on lockdown besides getting materiel to work with. That's different story. Anyways Glad to see I'm not the only crazy young man trying to pull this off.. Go away lockdown go away Bug..Let us free..
Hey, Finn, whos Vauxhall is that? It made me think of my 1964 VX 490 I loved so much. Glad you're getting onto the boat work, but that barn is a well done job in its own!
Best option for off-grid emergency lighting are 5w usb lights, look like light bulbs on cord, less than fiver on eBay, cheaper if multibuy, then you need power banks like Tomi, a liitokala lii-400 smart charger and a load of spares or repair laptop batteries., Chuck any cell which is damaged, corroded or heats up when charging. Pretty bright lights and would be good in van and boat.
The shop is looking well-appointed! Always inspiring to see you working on such huge pieces solo. Might have to make some sawdust myself to get through this house arrest!
Extralife cheers dude!! That means a lot!! So happy to have the barn completed enough so It’s possible for me to get cracking on with the boat!! I hope your well and keeping safe.
![SAILBOAT REFIT: Aladino's Angles [S4E31]](/img/1.gif)
You can use a screw to remove bungs! Absolutely fantastic. Thanks man.
Once this bullshit virus is over I'll be building a metal fabrication shop with the savings I have left ! projects like this push me to stop thinking about it, and just start doing. Thanks Finn, keep the content going!
Best wishes Finn.
Hope to see you and Leo in a grand tacking duel someday.
Been keenly watching Leo, Acorn to Arabella and Sail life.. your a welcome addition.
Hi i do agree with that statement
Yes.

Arabella - bald bearded American, Fin - thatched shaved English. How did you get confused?
Don't forget Tally Ho!
Whooohooo stumbled on this channel. gets added to Arabella Danger Marine and Brupeg. love lock down lol
@@jossmaxwell00 If you're looking for more, stumble onto The Wooden Boat Experience on the Glass Goat channel. :)
Check out travels with Geordie for more wooden boat stuff.
Very good chainsaw skills. That's how I remember you at Leo's Tally Ho.

A hard luck girl with a lot of potential finally found the right guy. Finns camera work, editing, and music choices are the icing on the cake..
I can tell you put a lot of work into camera setup and editing, well done mate. Thanks for taking us along on the journey!
You can see the fine workmanship that went into building just by watching you dismantle it.
Your work rate will have this boat knocked into shape in no time at all, well, probably about 2 years from now, isn't that the line that all boat builders adopt. Seriously though you're doing a great job and making good progress.
Well done, wish I had the balls to do it when I was your age. Now I have two kids and a mortgage and it all slips further away ! Wish you all the best with your project and adventure xx
Well done young man. Wish I still had the energy. Stay well and stay safe!
like the work shop build along withe music keep up the good work stay safe
👍👌👏 Very well done again.
Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.

I live in Whitstable and run a family boat out of oare creek. Once this mess is over I will pop by and give you a days labour. Love the boat and the barn.
See you soon Mike.
Looking forward to this build and craftsmanship throw-down. But, get some lights to dispel the gloom.
I enjoyed your video very much and when you were working on Tally Ho.

Hang in there! You're doing fine.
Great work! Cant wait to see what you do with her. Im sure it will be beautiful!
Great source of inspiration Finn. Love it all.
Its a pleasure to see you working and always keeping your workspace tidy! Greetings from Germany
Lovin' the Vauxhall
keep up the spirit no matter what !
Hate the circumstances but so nice you are starting to work on the old girl. She is a beut.

Keith Rowley it’s on my to do list, but with the current situation I am unable to get any materials to do so. But it will happen at some point 👍
@@MaShcode Technical that's five words
@@MaShcode Sorry ADHD lol
Lots of places will have long freight pallets they throw out and the hard wood in them is a cheap easy source...think outside the box man.
@@FOOKRUclipsNUMBERS it's a joke
very cool. looking fwd to lights in the barn;)
Enjoying your videos. Looking forward to following along. Cheers!
keep it going man! appreciate the music for the time lapses and no music for the dialogue.
Cheers man great project I am a sailor and boat builder
Sorry for the circumstances but happy to see you back at work on the boat. Smart to remove the coach roof. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.
Brilliant, another boat video to follow during this miserable time, thanks Finn good luck.
If you get the chance to have solar panels as well, grab them. As the wind doesn’t blow all the time & it’s another source of energy.
Fascinating, thanks Finn.
Well done.. I am watching all the videos to catch up. Just started two days ago June 1, 2021.

can't wait to see what the future hold for you. Keep up the work!!
You need a cordless 'skil saw'!
Dump your extra electric production to a well insulated hot water tank.

Good luck with your build and I look forward to future vlogs.
Just found you from episode 55 on Leo's channel. Loved watching your energy during his project. Can't wait to view more of your project.
nicely done video. happy you are coming along. best from new england.

Hey Finn!! Over from Tally Ho. New Sub. Stoked for you my dude. The barn looks great. No excuse now eh!! With you all the way. Landlubber from NZ. (Say Safe Bro)
Superb video mate. looking forward to your adventure.
cwscuderia Thank you!
Nice! I didn't realise you had a channel and your own boat although I should have guessed after seeing you smashing in to Tally-ho. Subbed and "hi" from Australia. Look forward to watching progress. Ash.
Good luck Finn! Fun to watch you toss up that shed. Lovely concise summary of your boat’s back story too. 40 years she’s been waiting to take her first bath. Good luck to her this go round.
Inventory everything! And where it's at. A few years from now you will thank me.
Good luck Finn ,it was my dream when I was younger but I didn't follow it through ,I hope you get help from a few people who think like us .
Same thing for me! I said, "I know that face". Great to see you with your own project, will follow along.
Your dump load should be a connection off your charge controller. The controller should programmable so that when the batteries are full, it will redirect any incoming charge from the wind turbine to the dump load. What kind of charge controller do you have?
Good luck to you Finn great to see someone like u be following u from now on 🤙
I didn't know you had your own channel! Was wondering where you had been. Episode 6 hey? Looks like I'm going to have to go watch 1-5 so I can find out why you're tearing apart this seemingly healthy boat. Cheers Finn, glad to see you on RUclips again.
stay safe bro,love your vids.
Well Done Finn, amazing to see you working hard on a worthy project
Thanks for posting and sharing. Looks like a great set up! Wishing you all the best!
Along for the ride...👍🇬🇧
Best place to be during lock down. At least you won't be bored, LOL. Good work Finn !!
Great to see you working away on a boat here Finn! Thanks for sharing the project, hope things can muddle through successfully for you there in the barn and you can make progress, even with everything all locked down. Cheers!
In the early stages of this rebuild you was talking about the low head room for the shower . well seems like the perfect time to raise the whole thing and get the head room you need , will watch till you sail great series
Came from Leo’s channel, keen to see more 👍
Best of Luck to you Finn to you and family in these trying times
Absolutely love your barn great job
Thanks Finn. Keep Going!
Hi Finn, wandered over from sampson boat co. When you said you purchased a boat I didn't realise you meant a proper boat.. good going. have subscribed and will give you some thumbs ups...
Those various life-forms under the sliding hatch would make for quite an interesting episode for their own .... 8-p
Go Finn. Love that old Vauxhall.
Thanks the boats lines just keep looking better very nice indeed see why you bought her not to mention all that gear 👍🏻👏🏴⛵😷
Could your dump load be boiling water for heating or run an your air compressor. and store the energy instead of just running a dump coil?
G'day Finn, can't help with wiring but suggest you mount the dump load (heater coils) outside the enclosure away from the batteries and controller. If you get a big dump through those coils they will pump out a fair bit of heat by the looks. good luck with the build stay safe
I just discovered your channel. Enjoyed the video and subscribed. Looking forward to more!
Stay safe and keep the work going 💪👍
I'm 35.. And building my boat on the hard and doing a total refitting beside the work shed. I am living out of a box I built on a trailer out of plywood and 2x2 . Have my truck powering everything Hahahha.. Best time to build a boat well on lockdown besides getting materiel to work with. That's different story. Anyways Glad to see I'm not the only crazy young man trying to pull this off.. Go away lockdown go away Bug..Let us free..
Like the music
Hey, Finn, whos Vauxhall is that? It made me think of my 1964 VX 490 I loved so much. Glad you're getting onto the boat work, but that barn is a well done job in its own!
Best option for off-grid emergency lighting are 5w usb lights, look like light bulbs on cord, less than fiver on eBay, cheaper if multibuy, then you need power banks like Tomi, a liitokala lii-400 smart charger and a load of spares or repair laptop batteries., Chuck any cell which is damaged, corroded or heats up when charging. Pretty bright lights and would be good in van and boat.
Best of luck
Good luck Brother.
The shop is looking well-appointed! Always inspiring to see you working on such huge pieces solo. Might have to make some sawdust myself to get through this house arrest!
Extralife cheers dude!! That means a lot!! So happy to have the barn completed enough so It’s possible for me to get cracking on with the boat!! I hope your well and keeping safe.
And yess get that sawdust flying!!!
The effort you make is really impressive, I always feel inspired after watching your videos! And nice job with music and editing too
Finn, just found your channel, instant subscription. Ready to see some boat work. Thanks for sharing your journey.
You are my new hero Finn! Huge inspiration to someone like me to get out there and do it.
