Fantastic show, thank you. Seeing the keel of Kindly Light like that was just amazing. I applied to boat building school at the age of 23 year ( I'm 64 now) after originally going to catering school. I was told at the time that I was too old and should continue with the original path I had chosen LOL. Who knows what they really want to do when you've just got out of school? I didn't ....... Anyway, thank you again.
Nick is a refreshingly pleasant presenter able to impart an impressive array of skills and knowledge without ever leaving his audience feeling bored or overwhelmed. Great videos from a top notch team.
Howdy. I came here by way of Sampson Boat Co and the rebuild of the Tally Ho. Fascinated with their project I find myself visiting other boat building sites. Well done on this video and I hope you will be documenting more of your rebuild and posting it here.
Agreed. Leo rebuilding Tally Ho is fascinating and so is this. Think I'll recommend Nick Gates next time I leave a comment on a Sampson Boat Co video so more people get to hear about it!
Hi, I'm afraid I don't know of any. Although she is finished she has no engine, as originally built. Any boat without an engine of that size doesn't get used much, because if the risk. If she were mine I would fit an engine, and sail her, if you see what I mean!
@@seanicky Thank you Nick.I have been looking forward to seeing her since I first saw her on you show more then a decade ago and since then, I could not see her in any racing or regatta unless I missed it.Now I know why it might not be used that much.I would to sea her slice through the water knowing it’s fast history.Anyway thank you for replying.Very much appreciated.You should do one like TallyHo!
Your series, "Getting Afloat With Nick Gates" is very enjoyable! If I may ask a question about the hull design of these PILOT CUTTERS, why is there a large amount of aft section overhang? ( As the stem looks to be truly PLUMB!) Thank you very much! Jack
If you are into wooden boats take a look at Leo’s ruclips.net/user/SampsonBoatCo cataloging his rebuilding of the Tally-ho. Plenty of references to pilot cutters.

Most enjoyable show. Cheers.
Enjoyed seeing the Pilot Cutters and the inside of the hull to show how it's built. Lovely boats. I really enjoy Luke Powell's cutters. Thanks.

great vid, quite informative, and pilot cutters... I love 'em
Really enjoyed this.
Fun show! Really enjoy the pilot cutter piece.
Well done Nick
Any videos of candy light sailing around?That would be great as I can’t find one on RUclips

Enjoyable technical tours for the need to know boat builders, keep up the good work.

gorgeous. Poly and not epoxy glue, this is interesting.
High Nick!Any footages of Candylight sailing?
Candy light?
Amazing.
What make of glue is being used?
Do the bleaching legs stay on even when at sea
No Becca, you take them off before you move. They would slow the boat down, and probably damage the boat with the wave action.
Another great video. Shame that marine professionals don’t use the proper PPE for the jobs that they do. Chainsaws need more than respect and luck.
If the plywood was sealed in fiberglass air and water free why dose the plywood type mater
What glue was used for the deck ?
It is a polyurethane, I can't remember what manufacturer!
Thanks. Great series by the way
