    Peter, you have an amazing story and a great boat. I solo circumnavigated when I was 65 and solo sailed to Hawaii in 2019 at 85. I am now 89 and am planing another circumnavigation this year. I agree with you, if stop and sit in port you will die there. I will be headed west across the Pacific in December. Maybe we will meet somewhere.

    Hard to not want your boat after the tour. As with most things, people with a passion are subsumed into their project. Not in a bad way, it's obvious you love Ahaluna. Who wouldn't. You have a gift for story telling, keep up the good work. Lovely craftsmanship.

    You have dialed in the most efficient, effective and oh so smart and functional vessel... Planking is the interior, 7 foot bed, tool room, systems that are brilliant. You are a living, walking master class. Please continue to share the wealth of your wisdom. Deep respect.

    Ahaluna is what my dreams are full of... it used to be fast cars, motorcycles etc and even faster women but I've moved past all that now and dream of a well built sailboat where the craftsmanship and soul of the boat speaks to anyone who is interested in coming on board...thank you Peter for sharing her with us and please keep recording these videos. I can see your talent shinning bright in these videos..

    Those deck beams running fore & aft!!! Guaranteed she's sturdy no matter how big the waves are and how hard the wind is blowing.. when I seen your video sailing the north pacific the wrong way and the wind was whipping and the waves were definitely rolling, Ahaluna was steady and not creaking or popping like you hear in other people's videos when the weather isn't anything close to what you 2 were in.. the inside is just as I expected.. I love the old classic sailboat/ship feel and look.. the interior has a soul that you can almost feel through the video.. amazing

I'm sure many would purchase the plans and several will complete the build. Keep the videos coming, looking forward to seeing more of Ahaluna, and you explaining all her functions.

    @13:38 - FWIW, I did a stint as a lighting tech for grocery stores and retail outlets a while back. The ballasts are the issue. You never quite realize how much a ballast loses output over time as the change is so gradual. An old ballast will smoke a new bulb way quicker than you would like. Upgrade to electronic if possible. One local grocery store changed all bulbs every 6 months and all ballasts yearly. Lighting was a multi-million dollar department.

    Maybe not everyone knows, but using even the lathe we saw in the workshop requires a lot of knowledge and practice. I graduated from technical high school and it took me a long time to get used to it. The full lathe operator course is a few months of learning. This is the case with almost every item or equipment shown here, such as shortwave radios. Using each of them requires a great deal of knowledge. I also suspect that the author has knowledge of celestial navigation, because when he started sailing there was no GPS.
    Loved this classic boat, beautifully planned and kept fully ready and clean.

    Strip planking is a great way to build a sturdy vessel and it's able to be achieved by the average person. It's also got the added bonus of being warm and not needing insulation around the hull like a steel boat. This boat of yours looks like quite a biggish yacht, i'll have to see if you have any clips talking about her dimensions.
