Handcrafting a boat is a precious investment in your life. There is something unique in the process, a form of art and skill. An emotional journey of patience and memories. I certainly enjoyed this winters morning learning about the building of "Perfecto"
Absolutely beautiful. Masterfully built things like this actually seem to have souls. I hope Perfecto lasts many many years and gives a lot of people joy.
What an impressive job you did on this boat. She is really handsome. I am so glad I watched this video, as I had entertained thoughts of building a Pocketship, and now I know that I will not.
I have to say you have achieved a marvellous build Scott. I hope you enjoy every minute sailing with Her on your voyages for years to come. Regards to you Sir. Rob North Wales U.K.
Thank you so much for putting this series together. I wish more people would publish videos like this with the amount of information you provided while keeping it entertaining.
Beautiful Boat! and congratulations on the awards. Well deserved with your quality of workmanship!! I feel less intimidated now that I know you have built other boats! LOL :-) When I get mine completed, we will have to meet up in Manteo for a weekend of sailing.
Thank you for sharing your experiences building the boat. I enjoy watching your video. I'm curious of how tall the boat nested on its trailer. Can you remove the tabernacle so it can reduce the height to clear the garage ceiling for storage?
You have done an extraordinary job on her. Have you taken her to blue water, big seas, maybe a storm? Keeled her way over? How did she do? She is so beautifully built that I’m betting you would not challenge her in blue water or heavy seas, maybe a bit delicate. I know you would protect her. Texas
What a beauty! Sorry, i am complete nube, but i guess this kind of boats is only for lakes and rivers? In my region there is only sea, but i dream about a boat, i could transport myself and store it at my garage or the yard . Is it possible?
Hello Grandpa, I like your boat, great work indeed, congratulations ! I have a question, why such a big hole on the front side ? Is it for the anchor ? Could you share the plans ?Salute from France.
I love the ship and all the perks you threw into it , the first instrument I learned was violin 😉. I so want to make one of these in a fully varnished finish. A small pirate ship if you will 😂 have a good one
Scott, a technical question if I may. Forward, you have a large area that could easily fill with water coming over the bow. I see the two drain holes at the dorade boxes, but I see no exit from there. If you were to take a wave, where would the water go? Thanks - lovely job. As a fiddler / mandolin / mountain dulcimer player - I really appreciated the scroll and pins for your bow.
These little pocket cruisers are interesting but I honestly don’t get it. They’re too small they be comfortable or practical. Seems like it makes more sense to buy a 21 to 31 foot boat and just customize it
you really are acting like a violin maker here. as a violinist and boat builder I have great respect for the perfection of violins, but when building boats, I dont see much need for this much perfection. mainly because boats just get banged up a lot all the time, and the fact that people dont see the boat as closely as they do a violin.

Wonderful job and beautiful craftsmanship you are truly an artist and a sailor, Thank you for posting your build.
Beautiful and the paint job was perfecto. A tropical touch. Hope the wine glasses held up in the chop
. I'm sure you took that into consideration.
Beautiful build of a boat that has always interested me. Well done and thanks for posting

Beautiful Boat! and congratulations on the awards. Well deserved with your quality of workmanship!! I feel less intimidated now that I know you have built other boats! LOL :-) When I get mine completed, we will have to meet up in Manteo for a weekend of sailing.
Ron Winston, Ron, did you get that boat finished?⛵️
Beautiful boat.Almost sorry you finished it,i enjoyed the videos so much.
I know😟 Guess I’ll just have to sail her now🤗🤗 I am thinking of another build🤔 Thank you for checking in, Scott
Excellant...well done!!!!
Pocketship is an impressive design. This one has even more character !
Probably one of the best designed small craft in history. Really.
Lovely boat wish I could build one
Thank you for sharing your experiences building the boat. I enjoy watching your video. I'm curious of how tall the boat nested on its trailer. Can you remove the tabernacle so it can reduce the height to clear the garage ceiling for storage?
A.J. Lumahan it can be removed👍🏻👍🏻
Love your little boat. My dream is to build a boat like this.
It's a beautiful little ship. Captain Jack Sparrow would be proud.
What a beauty! Is there a build Plan available? Greetings from Germany.
T. Thompson yep but not this stretched version. Go online and type CLC Pocketship plans🎉👍🏻

A beautiful day sailor
Absolute beautiful! How long are the berth and how much sitting headroom inside?
Hello Grandpa, I like your boat, great work indeed, congratulations ! I have a question, why such a big hole on the front side ? Is it for the anchor ? Could you share the plans ?Salute from France.
Heimrik01 contact Chesapeake Light Craft. It’s their Pocketship design.👍🏻
I want to know more about Lazy Lucy. Is there plans? And do you have a build video for Lucy?
River Rat I built her from actual 1934 Fenwick Williams plans.
They are hard to find these days. And no videos of this build⛵️⛵️
Scott W. Hershey very nice attention to detail. You can tell you build instruments...
There are many photos of the build on my actual web site: hersheyviolins.com Enjoy⛵️⛵️
I love the ship and all the perks you threw into it , the first instrument I learned was violin 😉. I so want to make one of these in a fully varnished finish. A small pirate ship if you will 😂 have a good one

Al Szymanski they are there port & starboard sides.
Nice boat :)
Two Nine Alpha Romeo thank you⛵️⛵️
Beauty!!! What.size.is.this?
PapaidoDeki e Kin 16.5’ length
16.5’ a foot longer than the plans.⛵️
Scott: Did you get the brass and aluminum locally?
Is there any ballast aside from the crew?
P & J Poston a bitch of ballast, don’t remember the exact amount but around 200lbs
Was she heavy??
Russell E Simonetta around 1200 lbs.

I liked everything, except the paint.
Moses Bullrush I make no apologies, bright, Happy colors are what I am about. Plus, they look good on small boats🤗🤗🤗⛵️

No offence, but the paint really makes it look like plastic
Ben Cristofani guess viewers will just have to take a closer look🤪
Beautiful boat, shame about the halfwit dopey noise irritatingly pointless accompaniment to your commentary.
barry fullick I agree with you on the background music. Not my best effort and choice. I did these videos in a hurry and it shows🤨🤪⛵️⛵️
That the recording my voice what is going on now I’ll turn it off and
So amazing! I love your boat but don't like the painting :) From China
hejianbomail Too bad, paint your own the way you like😂
hejianbomail can’t please everyone😂
