- Episode 26
In this episode it's time to make a start on the portside bulwarks.
Making and dry fitting the last of the stanchions, it's now time to machine up the larch i will be using for the bulwak planks.
After 5+ years sitting on dry land and many man hours of work, it's time to launch the classic motor yacht, Silver Lass.
After an extensive rebuild, she is not ready to head to her temporary mooring for the final stages of fit out and sea trials before she heads to her new home in the mediterranean.
I also thought i'd share with you guys some of the other jobs i can be found working on when i'm not repairing boats. Playing with big cranes moving boats!!
And finally, something i have been looking forward too since i began the job, finishing the repairs to the counter stern so i can give it a coat of primer! And it looks so much better for it!
If you enjoyed the video, please give it a thumbs up, it's the best way to help the channel grow!

When ever you get the time Fyn. It’s always a pleasant surprise when you pop up. I can appreciate what an effort it must be. Good onya from Australia
Wow, Silver Lass is stunning... someone definitely had a good sized piggy bank at one time and its now in a beautiful boat..
Man.. you take all the time you want. I'm still going to watch these.
Just when I felt like I was missing a boat restoration video, up pops Finn!
Hi Finn, right from Day 1 and building the shed, every follower has your back, and we are all so appreciative of every one of your videos whenever they arrive. I just wish I wasn't 12,500 miles away here in NZ, or else as a retired joiner/carpenter I would be giving you a hand , even if it was just to sweep the floor, sharpen the chisels and make the tea! Thanks also for sharing your other works, and whilst I know you're too modest to admit it, but I bet you're an integral part of the boatyard.
Don’t worry Finn..we’ll take what we can get when we can get it…….stay healthy and be safe!
It's amazing what a difference a coat of paint makes, she really has got lovely lines.
Knott a problem, Finn. You gotta do what you’ve gotta do.
Always good to see a wherry under way, as usual you’ve knocked the music right out of the park and hey, your boat’s progressing.
Take care fella, cheers from Cornwall. 😎👍🍻
Awesome video! Thanks for the share!
Thankx Fin. Really enjoying seeing the progress.
Working 5 days a week certainly sucks but I admire your perseverance in moving forward with your boat. Love your videos :)
She's looking great. Lovely lines. Look forward to the next update!
Looking good Finn, just 2 more years to go.
2 years sounds about right 😎🐠🚣♀️🛶
You can't pull an apple out of a seed.
I like your choice of music, cheers.
Got a lot work done mate this time, thumbs up.
Good on you Finn!! Amazing how even a primer coat can make the job look so much better and more complete. Hang in there mate.
Really enjoyed the boaty mcboatface interlude. Great episode.
You have the best music of any channel on RUclips. Leo is second. Tally Ho!
I agree. In fact it was when I heard him using Sally Goodin that I decided to become a Patron.
Great! Wow! Silver Lass is incredible!
Thanks for sharing your skills. Joe
Remember Finn: a good boat builder makes mistakes, but a better boat builder knows how to hide them. Excellent video / video work. The short breakaways to sailing, other boats in the yard, and goings on is nice and makes the videos more interesting. Very well done and good camera work.
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.

Looking forward to seeing more.
Well done. Your understated manner and approach are appreciated.
dare not give up finn! you are doing a great job!💪💪💪💪
Always good to see one of your videos, Finn. Nice to see progress and a splash of paint going on. Thanks for sharing.
thank you Finn excellent work.. fair winds always
That craning segment was very uplifting!
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.

Finn little and often will get you to where you want to be, we just love coming on the journey with you and most of us give you a thumbs up and comment to help you get rewarded on RUclips for your "most excellent videos Dude!"
Finn do yourself a favour. Buy a cheap laser level. One with cross lines. They are incredibly handy for boat building. Sure water levels do an ok job, but having used them quite a few times, they don’t win any convenience awards, and fall way short of what a laser level can do in many situations. Like projecting horizontal and vertical lines etc. They make excellent reference points where nothing is flat, level, or straight on a boat. Keep up the good work. Cheers
I enjoy all of your videos. They are worth the wait.
Dear Finn.
👍👌👏 Very well done again and as always (video and work). Working five days a week, restoring a big sailboat and all the filming/editing effort is quite a big challenge. So: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Well, fife days a week grinding, keeping up the work on Your own trough *_and_* filming/editing is quite the task - so, getting a video shared on RUclips every once in a while is a treat. Nothing to be worried about. Nice little boating infrastructure surrounding You, obviously. That helps in sourcing payed work and spares/leftovers alike, I reckon.
Thanks for the work put in and for sharing!
Enjoying the journey Finn 🧡 Your energy is incredible 🧡
Great job !
Transom and counter stern look great, nice work Finn!
Great video, real nice balance of music, outside interest and your project.
Keep up the good work and I am happy to be waiting for your next video because it is always a pleasant surprise.
A real engine! Beautiful.
If I can give a tip as a 30 yr professional carpenter/woodworker- use anti-vibe gloves when sanding, and use knee pads when kneeling. If you do this before you notice issues, you’ll thank yourself in 20 yrs.
Silver Lass is a beautiful looking boat,with..the bonus of Gardner engines.your boat is coming along nicely.It must be difficult fitting it in with your regular job .cheers Roly 🇬🇧.
Brilliant vlog keep it up, looks great 👍
Great video thanks for making it, its always nice to watch the progress on your boat.
Appreciate and really enjoyed another episode !
Thanks !!!
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.
🗣
Loved it thanks.
Loving it, dude.
must be a great fealing getting that first coat of primer down
This is the most interesting yacht building project now in RUclips. And I like the style Finn has. By the way I live in Finland and I am a sailor.
Greetings from Quilpue,Chile....beautiful work you've done.....Cheers
Progress! Well done Finn!
Looking great Finn! 🇨🇦
Really looking good Finn. I enjoy watching your work.
Nice pair of Gardner 6LXs.
Well done and thanks for that Tony, I was wrongly putting them as gleaming 6LXB's, I have an old 6LW in my launch that is destined to be replaced by a (fully re-coed) 6LXB. Great to see the beautiful works and care extended to the engineering too.
great video.
Enjoying your progress and leaving a comment.
Fantastic episode Finn, good work mate.
great video. keep em coming.
Sorry Finn, but I don't know how to use instagram. Bloody great channel.
over here to feed the algorithm and hopefully bring you some extra shillings. Have a great week Finn.
Always happy to see a Gardner oil engine part of my HGV apprenticeship was rebuilding them they are unique. Great to see your progress it’s a hell of a commitment.
That's going to be a beautiful boat!!
Oh glorious sanding!
Just in time thanks Finn
great vid mate, as and when you can is just fine.
definitely enjoying the process, and appreciating all the work the work that goes into making videos!
It's a pleasure to see what ever you do and the crane work! That must be one heck of a crane!
Transom looks great!
Cheers Warren
What a gorgeous motor boat. Finn no worries man completely understand your workload. Put out what you can man that's all you can do. cheers bro..
umm… you work on boats, or with boats… did you forget about the yurts and other similar stuff you do?
Nice progress on the rebuild. Wish my hand woodworking skills were as good as yours! (Chopping mortises is my bane-wish I could make sure nobody could ever open them!)
The _Silver Lass_ is a beautiful lady, and your camera work is exemplary.
Wow! Wish that kind of display was available when I was a crane operator! (Previous century.)
Nice to see the primer covering the stern. My, those fair lines are becoming visible, what a fine yacht that will be!
That, is a handsome cruiser...
Love the work you're doing! Keep plugging away, we'll watch when they come out!
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.
🗣
Good all round video Mate. Thank you very much!
Oh and I enjoyed the music too.
Great video Hampshire 🇬🇧
Hi Finn. Who does your background music for your channel, you could release a good C.D.compilation of tracks. Always good to see a new video, keep up the good work .
Fascinating project. Been catching up binge watching the back videos.
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.
🗣
Keep at it Finn.
Hi Finn
I love watching watching your channel and the progress your making, i i binge watched Tally Ho and that's what led me to you, not only do i love your channel but as a big Blues lover your choice of music is a no brainer for me, i know in the past you've put up the track name and artists in your credits and i've gone looking for other stuff that they've done and loved it, keep it coming mate.
Six cylinder Gardners.....the best engine ever made...so smooth!
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.
🗣
Post what you can when you can. Quality over quantity! The coat of primer really made the work you did jump out.
Appreciate the video. Watching craft happen is very soothing. Looking forward to seeing your boat launch!
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.
🗣
Well done Finn.
She's really looking better every video.
I have worked two full time jobs before and it takes a certain kind of individual to pull it off. It's really difficult to stay motivated.
Keep it up!
Cheers from Huntington Beach California.
So nice to see you! We LOVE your music. 💕💕💕
🔝🔝YOO🏆🎁:(🙂)*.

Counter Stern looks amazing, congrats Finn!

Looking good!
Looking good Finn....cheers rr
The ship craning looks interesting as well. Never realised that is a profession. If you ever find the time to make a short video about what machinery and skills it entails you've got my viewership. And patreon backing.
Keep it up!!!
Who designed and built Silver Lass originally? She's a beauty.
👍!!!
I love the blues , try Bitish blues i think u like it
👍👍
Hiya Finn
Here in the midwest area if you're licensed crane operator you'd make a great living.. the guys who go to Chicago and work through the week make $100 per hour or more and you're close to the great lakes
Nice engine room.nice boat if you like diesel.
So how much paint did you get on yourself when you fell off the platform painting the last bit of the stern. Hope you didn't tweak your back or knees. Did my back in once missing the last step on a staircase. Cheers from Sequim.
Knees on first shot and no warning )))))))))

Try putting your paint tray in a plastic bag before putting the paint in the tray , it saves a lot of cleaning,
What a beautiful yacht Silver Lass is. Which port was she sailing to in the video for her fitting out?
Also, when you showed the leaking joints in the final boat you had craned in, was that the normal situation whilst waiting for the planks to 'plumb-up', or was it a bit more serious than that. To my untrained eye, it looked as though the water was coming in from multiple gaps.
Thanks Finn - I think you like boats!
She really is a stunning yacht. She’s gone to Ramsgate marina for the final stages of work to be carried out.
The leaky boat was expected, it had been sat on dry land for a good 5 years so all the planks had shrunk considerably, a few hours after sitting back In The water she had taken up and swollen enough to stop all the leaking.
Hi Finn, I thought You(ve quit.) were quite bussy with girls and beer :) Good to see You working.
No quitting going on here!
Hello Finn, I am refitting our family sailboat, a Samson C-Deuce 45, I am looking for an insurance company, have you find one ?if so please share. Thank you
Congrat on your work. always interesting to watch.
Daniel
Looking good Finn. Question...What are all those holes in the hull?
To let the water out

The holes you can see are the fixing points for all the chain plates.
