That's one of the loveliest boats on Earth. It's got a very useful wall down the centre to keep the girlfriend on her side and so ensure the longevity of the relationship. You can add the engine from a Dassault mk.1 Mirage to help win races...Cheerio!
Thanks so much for gathering footage of yourself inside the cabin. For some reason this is something that most people neglect to do. But it's extremely important because potential buyers like myself absolutely need a sense of scale when considering the purchase of a particular sailboat because they want to know how much available space is down below. That being said, your boat is quite lovely. And thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Love it...grew up on the water in New England- commercial fishing boats in the family- but for the past few years been getting a hankering to get back into boating. Never did anything like this before- Intriguing. I will start on dinghy sail boating, and if this takes 3+ years. I can plan on 5, since I take longer than the average to build anything. My Ducati Super Sport 900 took me 2.5 years to build, and that I am very familiar with (motorcycle) so for me, I am figuring, while I learn the dinghy life, I can see what I might want down the road. Thanks for the inspiration.
Never been on wee boat, but I love this. So down to earth and common, and I guess loads of family fun. Would love to experience. PS, in view of your comments, Chrysallis, comes to mind. Nice name
Excellent and encouraging! I am currently building an 18-foot yawl (Francois Vivier’s design “Jewell”) and recognize so many things about what a first-time boat builder experiences. You tell your story brilliantly and I hope to have the same degree of satisfaction once I am sailing the coastal waters in the country where I settled. Thank you.

That boat looks very nice, it seems to give an enjoyable sail and enough accomodations for a weekender boat camping family. I like the video format of this channel. Great work.
Hi Brian. An absolute stunning boat. Can imagine your passion. And thank you so much for the inspiring words on the building proces. I'll start to build a Pocketship next spring and it's a first built as well. Thinking over the proces during the week en practicing it in the weekend is exactly my way!
"Go buy a house with a checklist of items and that makes your decision" .. ha ha, maybe 40 years ago. Now your decision is made for you by price low enough and not being out-bid by 10 other buyers. Awesome boat! Extremely impressive. Probably only a few people in the world can build their own sea-worthy boat, just as a weekend project. Outstanding!
TheNachotime Lapstrake ply on stringers coated in epoxy. Fairly standard DIY practice these days. Dudley Dix would. rank among the best designers in the world for amateur construction at the moment.
Dutch Waarschip is all multiplex too. Great designs, different types. Also modern ones. A light displacement weekend sailer, for instance, relatively deep and heavy keel, so pretty fast. In multiplex and epoxy.
English Blokes lending a hand reconnecting with their maritime heritage seems right. It is a beautiful sturdy boat. Building what you want new seems the way to go.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiencesI learned so much, great workmanship and attention to detail, an inspiration to anyone who wants to build their own boat.
She is category C rated I believe so good for up to force 6 and waves to 2 metres (6 ft). I have sailed in both and she is quite happy 😊 . So good for coastal sailing, not just lakes. Certainly not blue water though!
Issue with those is there's huge difference between waves and wind. Most C category boats can handle much stronger winds, its the waves that's the issue, and that will depend on exact place you're using it at.
Interesting family of boats. There is a 19 ft version called the Cape Cutter 19 made in GRP. Dudley Dix can sell you plans for a plywood Cape Cutter 19 and has just required the right to supply plywood Cape Cutter 19 kits. The manufacturer of the GRP Cape Cutter 19 has acquired the right to manufacture a GRP Cape Henry 21. The ply CH21 can also be built with bilge keels and Dudley Dix has plans to introduce a bilge keel option for the ply CC19. There are even 25 ft and 30 ft+ versions of this boat.
Beautiful boat. Maybe a dumb question? Could you not just hang an outboard off the transom and then have the entire cockpit as useable space? That outboard through the hull seems to take up a lot of space. Other than that, it’s a beautiful pocket sized cruiser!
Totally agree. There is now also the opportunity to put an electric sail-drive on, and that has the same effect - removes the engine from the cockpit, and allows you to put a seat at the back of the cockpit - more space to sleep out there too. The factory will fit the electric saildrive on the (GRP) Cape Cutter 19 - it just requires a small indent in the aft bit of the keel. Simple. And a much more elegant (and eco) solution.
Looks like about the perfect boat. A 21 footer is about as big as a man can sail solo, and yet big enough to handle some really heavy seas. Always wanted to build one but doubt if I have enough years left to pull it off.
Kudos to your wife for supporting your lovely build.
What a fabulous series of videos. Great people, great boats, and proper talk. None of that TV documentary fakery nonsense.
Total joy to watch.
Действительно.
Beautiful boat , thanks for sharing with us all. 👍🇬🇧
Great little big boat. And a very great conversation with the builder.
That's one of the loveliest boats on Earth. It's got a very useful wall down the centre to keep the girlfriend on her side and so ensure the longevity of the relationship. You can add the engine from a Dassault mk.1 Mirage to help win races...Cheerio!
Nice boat. Also nice to see the obvious pleasure the owner takes in talking about the build and sailing her.
Phenomenal workmanship. Well done!
Thanks a lot for posting this video.I´m in the process of building the same boat. So it is lovely to see a finished boat and happy captain.

A good choice, Max filusch. I am impressed by aesthetic combined with function. I wish you the best for your building process.
What a lovely chap. And to have a go and make such a great job of the build. Inspirational stuff 🙌
A very roomy tiny boat. I ❤️ love the design.
Thank you. Beautiful little boat.

Warms my heart to see a South African boat built to this quality. Dudley Dix, we miss you old man.
I talked to that guy like a couple of months ago on the phone. Has he died? That's very sad. Bolger, Ian Oughtred, now this guy.
@@HerveMendell Apologies for the misunderstanding. I meant we miss him as a South African. Plenty of our talent have left our shores.
Thanks for sharing that lovely boat with us Mr. Johnson
Delightful chap. Stunning work!
Love his attitude and what a great accomplishment. Well done👏👏👏
Brian is awesome. So is his boat. Lovely. Bet she handles well.
Great boat. I loved the coffee table
What an inspiring story, what courage!
Awesome movie thank you so much Brian
Fox's is the master designer equaled by this build...well done
Great boat, great bloke.
Love the teak. Beautiful boat.
This gentleman really loves the boat.
And looks happy talking about her.
My great respect for such a great work.

Lovely boat, she really is! Cheers!
Really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.
High Quality Workmanship
Bless :) His sweetie is "drop dead gorgeous" and his wife "quite likes racing".
Beautiful boat, excellent job, so positive thinking, nice conversation, calming voice, as he said, sleeping like baby.
Nice achievement! Beautiful job! First I ever saw that design. Been sailing 40 years.
First boat build? Impressive. Thank you for sharing!
What a lovely guy ! All the emotions of the build so beautifully expressed.
I’m saílor too in South of Brazil!
Congratulations By “JAYJAY”, your beautifull boat!
Nice vídeo Sir!
Cap. Aero Louzada
Absolutely wonderful!!
You and your boat is fantastic. I have built the little dinghy by myself and I know well the feelings. Good luck!
what a good woman will manage to put up with.. Clearly a proud man looking back on his project .
Good morning West Coast
One of the best explanations of the pleasure of amateur boat building. Great job as well... Cheers !

My wife is beginning to curse that doggie with all the My Classic Boat videos I've been binging! Takes her unawares each onset. Good onya!
Lovely little boat.
Lovely build
Thoroughly enjoyable and what a gorgeous sleek boat. I'd be tempted to built one but space limits me to a Pocketship. Very well done
yet another great vid. interesting that she's a plywood construction.

That barking gave me a heart attack 😂😂
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
that's a nice boat ,,,,
Out of curiosity why does he keep the boat on the Solent if he lives in Essex, we have some ideal sailing on the Essex coast for a boat of this type.

Comes in 19, 21 and 25 foot versions.
The 19 footer is also available in GRP as the Cape Cutter 19.
