Very nice! Just found your channel and was wondering what attributes made you choose the CLC over a John Welford design. Do you cover this in one of your previous videos? CLC is only about a 6-hour drive for me and I have considered taking one of their classes.
I had a look at several designs for small wooden boats but found that the Pocketship ticked most of the boxes for me, plus a local supplier had the plans and other bits available. Thanks for your comment 😊
Alan love your videos. Your jib sheet fairlead looks a little funny. The sheet is wrapping around the port side shroud in the video. Maybe the placement is a little too far aft?
Amazing video and amazing boat! Thank You for this video!
You're welcome 😊
Il est vraiment très beau ce petit voilier..! J'aimerais tellement être à votre place, heureux..
Livin' the dream, Alan. Happy New Year from New England.
Thanks! And s Happy New Year to you 🎉

Lovely boat, Alan.
Thank you 😊
Beautifull spot. Where is that? Somewhere on the east coast?
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Greetings from Lancashire. It's the River Ribble Estuary on the west coast near the town of Lytham St Annes.
Looks great, where do you sail from? I'm guessing east coast with all the mud 😊
Thanks I'm on the west coast on the River Ribble near Lytham St Annes in Lancashire.
@@alan-hulme ooh, the scary north, I don't know that area well 🤦♂️
AMAZINGNES!!! What type of plywood did you build the boats hull out of? Cool sailboat!
Thank you, she's mostly made from 6mm Marine plywood with a layer of fibreglass inside and outside.
So...when are you sailing her to the Bahamas?
Seriously though , that looked like the best way to ring in the new year.
Maybe when I get a bigger boat and more experience! Thanks for your comment 😊
Ergonomic 😊
Sail power 👍
