I wonder if a schooner is something he'd like to build?
Bravi!

Gorgeous cutter, outstanding workmanship! I hope to build one of my own one day.
Great video, thanks!
nice boat.
Stunning group project and beautiful result
Beautiful boat and story with great editing! Thank You for sharing!
The ship is very beautiful, bravo! Question: how does the wooden corpus behave when going through 0? In a cold climate? For example, in Russia? Does it reduce the service life? tg: First Sail Cargo Company
Just an absolutely stunning boat. Especially with all of her sails up.
Are you sure that thing's only 34? 😳 A Tayana 37 hasn't got that much room in it.

That boat is running out of the mill, mooring are extortionate. Delete it!

This is a lovely boat. I remember Curlew from wintering at Manoel Island, Malta in 1969/70 on our old yacht Fairbright. Tim and Pauline were anchored off to keep costs down so we didn't see much of them.
Groovy, classic wood sailboat
Wonderful to see traditional wooden boat building still alive! I was brought up watching 'The Onedin line' series on tv & also knowing my great grandfather on my mother's side had served on the last of the Royal Navy sailing ships. We had his sea chest still, through my upbringing...
She is more than a ship. This is a work of art. The boat of my dreams. Looking forward to more works.
Да... Классика, это сила.. Должен признать, что в свою очередь всё больше склоняюсь к мысли о том, что само соприкосновение с таковой, в свою очередь даёт не только моральное удовлетворение, но некое душевное спокойствие, в купе с самим осознанием смысла собственной жизни... Бен, надо признать, Вы по настоящему счастливый человек.. В наше время осознавать сам смысл собственной жизни, это уже само по себе счастье, не так ли?
Lovely workmanship, lovely boat. Who made the sails ? They’re nicely cut.
My father built our boat she also was wooden ..sailed a l.ot .. oh how i miss it ..intercoastal..outside and Isla Mujeras ..honduras ..
This must be THE most beautiful sailing boat I have ever seen......!
Boat of dreams, good work
Simply stunning!
