- Ben Harris' latest wooden boat has been launched! Earlier - in the spring of 2022 - the 34-foot gaff cutter yacht named CONSTANCE was launched in Gweek Quay Boatyard, on the Helford river near Falmouth in Cornwall.
Watch the well-attended launch in this video which is narrated by Simon Wisker, who commissioned this traditional new-build yacht.
In this video, Simon lays out the design of CONSTANCE, which he developed with Ben Harris and naval architect Jack Gifford. He discusses the features of the Falmouth quay punt CURLEW and deep-drafted working boats, which allow for a voluminous interior and sea-kindly characteristics.
Simon also explains getting involved and hands-on in building CONSTANCE and what it was like working alongside Ben Harris and his team.
Watch as CONSTANCE glides through the waters off Pendennis Point and the Carrick Roads in Falmouth, Cornwall.

There is something special about wooden boats.
An act of folly? An act of love? An incredible commitment to tradition and beauty? In any case a wonderful journey and now a new chapter to be written! Congratulations to all who made this possible, and thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings!

11:43 "...a boat that is good-natured..." what a fabulous expression! Even her chain plates are pretty!!
Seriously WOW.
Shes absolutley stunning, a real credit to her designer and her creator, well done those men.
Man I love the Falmouth working boats
And what a beautiful creation Constance is along the lines of the famous gaffer "Curlew"
Fair winds and tasty beers 🍻
Stunning group project and beautiful result
I hope she sails as great as she looks. Wonderful and a great piece of craftsmanship. It impowered me to build my own. I'm a carpenter and crafty myself.Great sailing.
Fantastic to see people putting money into beautiful boats and craftsmanship. It creates a legacy of sailing and skills for another generation
Beautiful boat and story with great editing! Thank You for sharing!
Thank you so much for keeping this tradition alive and thriving. Not only a superb boat but a great video to compliment it. Well done team 👍👍👍
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...
That tender tow-line coming out of the starboard aft will chaff the woodwork over time. Lovely boat❤
Thank you for keeping the old Craftmanship alive. Regards from Denmark.
Gorgeous cutter, outstanding workmanship! I hope to build one of my own one day.
JUST STUNNING!!! Design, Skills, craftsmanship… what a lucky man ! She’ll be providing joy to not only you, but likely many other generations!
Ben you craft the most beautiful wooden boats and I dream of one day owning such an incredible boat.
Thank you! Glad you like her
Another absolutely beautiful boat that you and your team have crafted. Hats off!
Bravo pour le choix du bateau! Vraiment une très belle unité, et une expérience unique! Merci infiniment pour ce partage, tant du travail raffiné que des premières navigations, toujours intimidantes et émouvantes. MERCI BEAUCOUP de Normandie!
Terry Heard: "Wood, bloody silly thing to build a boat out of" Shes a beauty.

What a beautiful piece of work. Ben, your work is awe inspiring and a great influence, as I work on my rebuild of Moonraker. Thank you. James
Lovely......! Looks solid and woody.
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.
Hats off Ben !!
What a beautiful boat. Enjoy sailing.

Such a fantastic piece of art! So well done. Congratulations. Hope I will be able to see her next summer.

I will try to find you and see if a meeting is possible.

Sweet
That’s beautiful 😍

Beautiful ❤
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
Welcome our world see you on the water some day beautiful workmanship keeping the dream alive ...
nice boat.
❤❤❤ no words ❤❤❤
My father built our boat she also was wooden ..sailed a l.ot .. oh how i miss it ..intercoastal..outside and Isla Mujeras ..honduras ..
Wow achievement wow.
What lovely lines this boat!!!! Trip arround the world??????
Well, well done. I have just watched a video on a Swan 80 Club racing yacht. A thing of beauty? No way, on the other hand Constance is and will remain so for many many years. I am a long keel small yacht owner and am so jealous. Bon Voyage 🙃Sorry bit of a swell running here.
very nice
Lovely workmanship, lovely boat. Who made the sails ? They’re nicely cut.
Nice 🤙🙏
Thanks!
I want one ❤🎉!
How big is this boat !?a beautifully boat
What are Constances dimensions? Beautiful boat !!!!
Beaty
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
Nice.
Can I ask, what is her length on deck and tonnage?
Hi there, CONSTANCE is 10.3m on deck, displacement (DWL) 12.3 tonnes. Cheers!
How long at the waterline?
Are you sure that thing's only 34? 😳 A Tayana 37 hasn't got that much room in it.
How much is the fish?
Please call or contact Ben to discuss you ideas and requirements. www.benharrisboats.co.uk/

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