Thanks Vince. It’s a very similar rig to Tapatya’s. Hazel’s is a ketch, whereas Tapatya will be a schooner. Hazel has flat cut sails with hinged battens, I have cambered sails and firm battens. Otherwise it’s essentially the same 👍

Have you ever thought of making another set of masts to about Half to Two Thirds complete??????☺☺ Not trying to wish any bad luck but you can't use what you don't have......👍....... enjoy
Oh Bill, an opinion! Well, clearly, Doug’s boat is designed for an entirely different purpose to Tapatya. He helped me out in the early days of my channel for which I will be eternally grateful. I really like the shape of Seeker’s sails, but... He’s used a sailcloth that I would not have chosen. If it were me (and it’s not) I’d fit a multi-part halyard and not winch them up with that ginormous winch. We’ll see!
If my memory serves, he trained as an auto technician after doing other varied job types. cant remember the episode where he said that though. Anyways Great video as always and it's us non patreons who owe the massive thanks!
Ten to one scarf ratio, eh. That's what I used for the chines and keelson of my 10 ft scow. Those were the first scarf joints I had ever done. They weren't perfect, but they held.
I think your conclusion that tree's have the grain orientation figured out fairly well is a sound judgment call. I enjoy the Hazel updates as well. Thanks
Tony, I'm sure your very proud of Hazel and I hope she appreciates all your hard work, on her boat, what I've seen of her on the channel ,I'm sure she does. (what a good daddy) now that it's summer where is that orange H.D. t-shirt, I'm so fond of seeing you in. (lol). no worries Mrs. Tony it's just the t-shirt, I'm just a Harley girl from the states. however (I would donate a little cash if you ever wanted to part with it) you have my email I hope just let me know. and keep up the good work!
It's wonderful to see the masts taking shape, and "bon vent" to the girls, Tony! Although I'm no expert, I also followed the "trees must be right" principle when I built my mast extension from Douglas fir: the grain runs as in the trunk of a tree. And it has been rock solid for years. No warping or bending. Thanks for another great video!
Great work as always Tony. Thank you for the tip on grain orientation in the mast pieces. Never thought about that as all of the spars I've done have been straight birds mouth masts of small diameter. Even then paying attention to the grain would be a good idea. Best wishes to you and the family. Have a great weekend and let us know how Hazel and Elizabeth are fairing on their adventure.
Thanks Karl. One thing he doesn’t really clearly mention is that, to achieve the same strength, a hollow mast would need to be around 10% bigger in diameter ( approx and depending on a few things).
Fantastic to see the mast taking shape Tony. I saw that Bob Esmer's The Art of Boat Building channel was going through the same process earlier in the week which was interesting. Great to see Hazel out on passage too, fair winds to her.
I was thinking about the bottom part of the mast where you say you will glue on extra bits to get the diameter larger. Perhaps alternatively those extra bits could be in between the square sections (in a star shape). That achieves the same bulking out of the diameter but encloses those bits within the mast, especially the top parts of those bits where they taper off into nothing. Also that would mean tapering the square parts on the inside of the mast rather than on the outside. That tapering inevitably means exposing end grain which would be better on the protected inside than on the outside. Makes the wood grain on the outside (where stress is highest) continuous with no grain run-off. All a moot point if you already have progressed beyond this point, or if you plan the cover the whole thing in biaxial and epoxy, but nevertheless.
@@SVTapatya The considerations I mentioned only apply if strength relies on the timber alone, with a varnished finish that usually has a hard and difficult life on a mast. Your glass and epoxy finish provides protection and a lot of additional strength. Should be fine.
Thank you! Happy to see Hazel’s progress. As we have the same boat, it is interesting to see evolution. I have gone a different track. Gone to track and a single sail on each mast (stuck with wish bone boom). What is the real launch date for your boat?
Could you tell me what the mast weighs? I have a mast of 8.5m which weighs 38 kg what is very much and I wonder what a mast build in a conservative method weighs in Spruce. I think, I'd go for nordic fir if I was to make a new one but let's see.
Hi Andre I don’t think 38kg is heavy for a solid wood mast of 8.5 meters. Mine will be at least that, I imagine I haven’t finished one yet so can’t be more precise 👍
@@SVTapatya That might be true but my 20m2 Jollenkreuzer (7.5m with 20m2 Sailarea to Class) has no keel back an iron centerboard and rudder. I want the boat to more safe against capsizing to be able to sail a little challenging areas. They were built for sailing to the German Frisian Islands though and I have sailed it on the Weser at 6 Bft with full sails hard upwind. I'm a naval architect and boat builder and have an idea how to build a wooden mast from veneer.
Bon Voyage Hazel. Best of good wishes to your safe arrival at all your new destinations.
Thanks John. She might actually be passing through your neck of the woods at some stage
Well done Tony. Each step is a big piece of work. Interesting to see Hazel’s boat under sail, the rig looks interesting.

Getting there, Kevin 👍😃
Safe sailing to Hazel and her sister. Getting close Tony!
Thanks Pat. Yes, getting there 👍
Nice progress on the mast and nice to see her finally sailing.
Thanks Hans 👍
You are an awesome Dad Tony!
Well, I like to think so 🤔😂😂
Good video. Great progress. Thanks.
Thanks Nancy 😃😃
excellent video UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Wayne 😃
Love both Hazel's Boat work and adventures and your every step forward. I've been wondering what you were going to do about masts.
Thanks Adam 👍
Getting closer
Yes Tim 😃

Wasted no time to putting that lumber to use - nicely done

No, I haven’t, John. But if need be, I’ll make some more...
What do you think of SV Seeker's sails?
Oh Bill, an opinion!

Retired now, John 👍

So good to watch in these times - thank you. PS: Did you hear about the possible condensation problems in the mast hole?
Thanks Karl. No, I have never heard of condensation problems in a wood mast, but I have epoxy sealed the wood on the inside 🤔
@@SVTapatya Hi Tony, here is the link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/KaWIIiv9zRg/v-deo.html - around 4:18 just for info - all the best, Karl

Thanks Billy. I’ll have a look at Bob’s channel 👍
@@SVTapatya It was especially interesting watching how Bob marked out the taper at the top and bottom of the mast.

Interesting thoughts DJ. I will be epoxy and glass encapsulating the masts, and painting them 👍😃

What is the real launch date for your boat?
Thanks Charles
Well... The actual final launch will be next spring. I hope to splash her before that to get the waterline..
Tony, did you bought ordinary spruce from your local wood dealer, or did you source a more rare or special type of spruce?
Just ordinary spruce, Andreas.
How are you going to prevent squeeze out from clogging the channel in the mast?
The channel is big enough to accept a bit of squeeze out, Hugh.
Did you watch salt&star Build is Mast he 6x6s and 8x8s and then rounded them
salt & tar
No, I haven’t seen it. I’ll have a look 👍
O>M>G> oh so,so close . good on ya , tony .
