Forward deck construction on our 41' wooden trawler. SDP Ep78

- After the carlins were shaped it was time to move on to decking the forward area of the boat. This involved the use of templates and careful cutting of our plywood deck material. There's still two more layers of ply that will make up the deck, but that'll have to wait until the exterior hull get's it's final two layers of plywood along with a rub rail.
This is this is the story of a complete boat owning and boat building novice and his family, constructing a 41’ full displacement trawler yacht in the backyard of their upstate New York home. While I consider myself a fairly advanced amateur woodworker and DIY guy, I’ve never owned a boat before and certainly have never built one either.
The naval architect, George Buehler, designed this boat, from his Diesel Duck line, with the home builder in mind. This design has been licensed for professional builders in China and Turkey, but George’s goal was always to make the large, blue water cruising boat within the reach of the average person.
His commitment to a design that was attainable for the average handy person, resulted in his first book, Buehlers Backyard Boat Building, detailing the process. His designs often include building materials and fasteners available at the big box home improvement stores.
George believed that a robust, comfortable and safe cruising boat could be built with less than ideal, traditional materials. While he acknowledge that less than ideal materials may limit the vessels longevity and resale value, his design would get people safely out on the water while the other guy remained landlocked saving for a design he would never be able to afford to build.
Many traditionalist scoff at his mostly hard chined designs and deviation from traditional methods and materials. However his maverick approach has made the dream of crossing oceans in a home built boat a reality for many around the world. No matter what the “experts” say, his designs have been proven over and over with literally hundreds of examples cruising the worlds oceans today.
Our goal is to be next!

She is looking great. Can't wait till she is floated
Impressive. Building that 41 ft trawler by yourself and with a very high degree of craftsmanship. Bravo sir!
Good day Scott. Just as a matter of interest, do you use marine grade plywood or normal plywood when you are going to put the deck over the ply? I was wondering about water resistance.
This is exterior grade BC construction plywood. The difference between marine and construction is simply the quality of the plys and fewer voids in Marine ply, The glues are identical. If someone is building a boat that involves a single layer of plywood, then marine ply is the only way to go. However, since I'm layering, I'm not to worried about the occasional voids found in construction grade plywood. Some would argue that marine ply, even certified marine ply isn't what it used to be but I don't have enough experience to comment.
@@SixPointsWoodWorks Thanks for the reply Scott. I am not a builder just a watcher of all your videos on the build. I am from Australia and the quality of our plywood from what you call the box store is really poor unless you go to a proper timber supplier and pay big money for AB quality ply. BTW I am really enjoying the series and marvel at the fact that you do it all by yourself other than when your son gave a helping hand in some early episodes.
Love seeing all the progress!! Looking awesome!
I’ve been following you for years and I love your updates! Thanks for sharing with us! I look forward to your updates more than any other diy boat building channel.
Nice job. Your tenacity is heroic.
Great work Scott and a happy new year to you and the family from Brisbane Australia. All the best for 2023.
I am sweltering in a 38°C heat in South Africa as I am watching this though I can sympathise with your problems of having to cure the glue in cold.
Good to get caught up with your progress again Scott. With the initial deck set on, the scale of the interior is starting to become evident. This is going to be a lovely home when on the water. Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure.
I think what would be great for your subscribers would be a 10min Into video of what you try to achieve with this project. I think for new viewers that would give them a good starting point to understand this unusual construction. For example why you use galvanises bolts, or why you use plywood. All stuff that traditionally was not used for boats.
Would be easy to lost site of the end on a project like this. Way to keep with it. Lookin' good!
Happy New Year, Scott. Always look forward to seeing your videos. 👍
you need to try the new locktite that comes in a stick form. Looks like a tube of chapstick. Much neater than the liquid. Keep up the great work!
Years ago I built a 20' fiber glass "Luger" cabin cruiser in my garage. I stunk up the house for two years. It went from, the boat, to that boat, to when are you going to get that thing out of the garage. With a 120 hp. Mercruise installed and in the water it became, "Our boat" again.
We have wildland fire fighting, plus forest service and fire department patches that we have collected over the years.
Our son collected them and we lost him in 2010. They are in a cabinet in our old office.
Would you be interested in them?
Love the work, you're doing an awesome job. And happy to see those safety glasses keeping your hat safe. 😂😂
Bottom line is when you just got one guy on a job this big, it's like eating an elephant I suppose, it done one bite at a time. So yeah basically a project like this doesn't happen overnight but you know one thing! over time you'll end up with a boat that you can enjoy for the rest of your lives.
привет!вопрос !корпус будете усиливать стекломатом и с эпоксидной??спасибо!!
Where you been , I've missed you !!!
Hey Scott! Happy New Year! Great to see you and all the progress!
I'm not a boat builder but shouldn't there be a shelf beam down each side for the deck to secure to
this looks like a motor sailer, will be expensive to go for motor outside the usa
Hell yeah brother glad to see you again
Lots of progress, Looking Great......>
I was just thinking…haven’t seen a video from six points woodwork for a while! Awesome progress happening here Scott. Just finished my build. A much smaller project than yours but still, 2000 hours odd is no walk in the park! Just waiting on our wet Summer down under to get with the program and it’s launch day. Keep at it. In the end you just run out of jobs. Cheers
Stay safe, and we'll see you next time.
Gloves on a table saw always looks sketchy to me.
I've been following your great work since the first video. It is a very enjoyable process to experience the same emotions with you. You are amazing. I look forward to each new episode of yours with impatience. With love and greetings from Istanbul.
Hope that the foredeck having an awkward line after glueing, this isn't a problem.
i thought the same for a moment, but maybe its only glued on the edge and will have the rest pushed down later with the additional layers (?)
How much faster do you think the project would be if you weren't filming at all? And do you think filming has some benefits, or rather just the satisfaction of making videos?
What is the reason the boat shed is so for away from the workshop? Was the building all ready there or some council regulation?
It was the most level spot on my property nearest the shop.
When you finish your Boat in 5 years do you think you will sell your boat shed? Only Kidding, awesome video man. I've been watching your progress for a long time and am rooting for you to get it finished!
Been following since pretty much the start. One thing you don't mention: Is there a broad time goal for finishing the boat? Like in time for retirement or some-such?
He's retired.
not really, my parents are getting older, my wife is still working so I cant really disappear anytime soon. As long as it's fun and I'm healthy Ill just keep plugging away.
Can't wait for the water.
Been following you from the first. Too bad you can’t post more videos but having built a boat myself I understand the time constraints of work, family and boat building. You’re going to have a great boat when you’re done.
Great to see your progress and skills, its looking good.
Was thinking about you Scott when Buffalo got those big dumps of snow. Hope everything was okay. Continues to an exciting, well done video. Thanks
LIFETIME project
Not yet retired, but every time I watch your videos I get after it on this old (1890s) farmhouse
I haven't kept up but wow what a long way you have come. The cabin is easy to see now and it will be cavernous when complete. Your commitment to the project is behond impressive it's inspiring. You spoke of the the methods your using as not typical of boat building that might be true I don't know but I would say the results of your approach are outstanding. Stay safe
Almost forgot about you’re channel.
Mabey some of the off camera stuff should be on camera so we don’t have to wait so long for another short video.
Beau travail 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is where the best laid plans start paying off and it's actually looking great!
Always look forward to the next video. Great job. Tony from ireland
I would love to know your reason for not buying a boat and fix it up instead of a full build
Looking good. She’s starting to take shape
Coming along nicely !!!
Thanks for sharing !
Why wouldn’t you s up your tools closer to the boat you might get a lot more work done
Hi from New Zealand, a little warmer here but very wet in Auckland where I live. Do you think you should have a beam running around the inside if the gunwhale to fasten the ends of your ply wood to? Looks like it just flapping in the breeze between the frames? You may have a solution for this? Cheers Ian
not accoriding to the plans but at the moment I agree. Maybe when the other two layers are installed along with the rubrail it will stiffen up. I'll keep an eye on it.
It’s going great. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like you had fun with this step.
One new step to close the gap to splash-day!
Like watching your progress. Helps to motivate me to continue on with my many projects. Question, are those rudder hinges on your boat sheds door?
actually they are from the bay doors of an old firehouse, but that aint a bad idea!
Esta quedando hermoso
It looks really strong.
Al Gore Rhythm
Looking great Sgt.
Power on sir!
Well done
I can't believe what I'm seeing! These videos should be titled 'How Not to Build a Boat'!
" how not to build a classic traditional sailing yacht " or.. " how not to build a car "
i am no expert either, but i think this is going to look and perform great when its done.
Good work! Keep on keeping on.
