If any wooden vessel is worth saving it must be an early Colin Archer!!!! Once you fixed your boat you’ll be a very skilled carpenter…. I wish you very much energy and good luck with this huge undertaking!!! Kind Regerds, thumb and subscription, Henk, the Netherlands.
@@henktulp4400 Thank you Henk! There are good days and bad days but it is coming along nicely. I'm trying not to think about the work ahead because it would be too excruciating but think it as an amazing yacht that it'll be someday.
@@VintageYachtRestoration thanks for replying!! SURE you will have setbacks and bad days….. But the reward at the end of this tedious journey is a magnificent vessel!! Keep it up!! Greetings Henk.
it truly is. Especially when there are not too many rules restricting the build. I am going to enjoy the whole journey and hope to be amazed by the end results.
Okay, I've subscribed. I tend to get bored of channels but I've been also watching a few channels for many years. A2A and Tally Ho especially. Best of luck with the restoration!
That’s amazing ! I am glad I have found your channel. I gave up on my 1947 Tahiti ketch but it was definitely possible to restore liveabord and sail but with some monny and skilled peoples.
I was told as you face towards the bow starboard is to the RIGHT (green lights) and port is LEFT (red lights). Gutted. Relaced. Rebuilt. Glassed. Painted. *nice boat
Beautiful boat , there is a formula for restoration ! That is MONEY + TIME = NEW BOAT , done . Good luck having the right people to do the job and a boatyard that has the tools and machinery for everything you need, you will be surprised what you have to do ! Look at the rebuild of the pilot boat Tally Ho for an example on u tube ! There doing a great job and they have the right place and people !
Nice, I see your passion for nice personal things. 2 things I noticed was the wheel is in the wrong place and evidence of dry rot along the beam shelf, might be an excuse to remove the whole deck and replace it. Consider what deck substrate to use and a cosmetic v-board ceiling in white with varnished beams inside. look at sealing all timbers and drilled holes with thined epoxy or an epoxy wood sealer/preservative. Plus then you can varnish straight over the epoxy sealer, consider what epoxy systems to use, eg total boat or West system. West System have some great online articles and manuals to help you. I use West system, however Total boat have similar I believe, I don't know (IDK) their products except online exposure. You may have a local epoxy manufacturer IDK. I suggest you plan a little first and look hard at the structure for dry rot from fresh water especially around the floors, seal prime and paint as you go. Good luck, see you on the water.
Thank you very much. This is exactly the kind of input I need. I have quite clear plan about the deck and beams. The dry rot is visible all around the boat under the deck. There are some fixes done already but plan is to remove all the mismatch beam repair that mostly done with untreated pinewood and replace it with oak. Whole new beam shelf. Then treat the wood. Deck beams I am going to make out of laminated oak. Make them little bit thinner and more of them. By laminating the beams in __^__ shape, I can incorporate the raised deck throughout the boat. So no more docking inside
How do you plan to get insurance on such an old boat? I was turned down by half-a-dozen insurance brokers before finding a willing carrier. My boat? 1976 production fiberglass model. And all I could get was "liability only." BTW, liability insurance is a global requirement in every marina everywhere. Without it you are not welcome anywhere.
It has been insured for over 20 years so I'm in luck in that matter. It has so much historical value being Colin Archer from the time he was the most active naval architect. A specialised insurance company from Sweden, where the boat was build, has seen the value and it is insured for a very decent money.
Somehow, the music does not fit to the boat ! Or are you planning to build a warship out of it ? The first Colin Archer with twentyfive cannons ! Called warthunder. 😂
Yeah, I am going the tell more about it later but it was glassed around 2000 on a dry tarred Oak. The thickness of the fiberglass Iis between 1,5-2,5cm so it is strong enough to be hull on its own. I can withstand the Scandinavian winter since it was on the water for 5 years throughout the year. Needs love but it is solid hull

Greetings Henk.
She certainly looks worthy of your efforts.
Thankyou for sharing.
Wood is so amazing to work with.. after you're done just imagine the pure beauty in your wooden sailboat

😂😂😂 "it looks haunted now..." 👻
I have added you to A2A and Tally Ho. I like your ambition, good work.
Just got a truck load of oak so soon I can actually start the build.
Well done!!
Great job man. Super exciting to see what happens!

Thank you. I try not to let you down :) Those two are indeed good and inspirational channels.
I am also a fan of A2A and Tally Ho.

I still need time and a ton of more money but I have faith:)
If N=1 then there are some mad boat builders in Finland, so good luck!
Mad indeed 😂
I was told as you face towards the bow starboard is to the RIGHT (green lights) and port is LEFT (red lights).
Gutted.
Relaced.
Rebuilt.
Glassed.
Painted.
*nice boat
Thanks! I only knew starboard as "right " in English. Port is "left".😅
To help remember the colors "port" is also RED wine from Portugal.

And as always, I am thin on both:) I am slightly too enthusiastic and I have to remember that it is not going to happen overnight
Fantastic boat, great interior do you have the masts and rigging?
I have all the necessary parts and I am trying to save some parts of the interior but most of it will be brand new.

I will find something more suitable for the next video. Now it was only for crapping attention ;)
@@VintageYachtRestorationWell, you lost my attention all together.
Do you know when she was glassed?
Yeah, I am going the tell more about it later but it was glassed around 2000 on a dry tarred Oak. The thickness of the fiberglass Iis between 1,5-2,5cm so it is strong enough to be hull on its own.

@@VintageYachtRestoration It's a big job, but should turn out to be a beauty!
Seizure big time thanks😢
I'm editing a new video right now. It's about time again
