Heyell yeah!!! What we all already knew! You didn't just build a boat. You sculpted one. She's truly beautiful. A tear didn't drop when you hugged your beautiful wife, but u did have to dry my eyes. So touching. I'm very much looking forward to season three!! Let's go! And remember. If you're going to make it, make it like Bob does. Beautiful. Congratulations on best in show! 🏆 First place well deserved!
What a beauty. For me this is the long awaited video, not only the see her float but sail on the waters. You can be proud of your self building such a piece of art.
Congratulations on finally getting her into the water and sailing under her own sails. With her nicely trimmed in a breeze, Haven looks to be a gem on the water.
Congratulations on a magnificent achievement - absolutely gorgeous. I also want to commend you on the quality and pace of your build videos. Very watchable!
So glad to see her out on the water under sail. She looks like a ease to sail, helm looked good. It seemed like there was no pull on the tiller. All your work has made a beautiful sailing work of art. Your true artism has shone through on the entire build. Congratulations on a job WELL DONE!!
Such an aesthetically pleasing boat, pretty much perfect. Very well done! And to sail it before the Charles Morgan at Mystic for a maiden voyage! Just, WOW!
She really did turn out beautiful didn’t see! I love wood boats. This winter I’m going to build a wooden remote control powered/sailboat. I have my 10’ 3pt hydro and I have my dad’s 6’ hydro wood boats to . But I won’t put it in the water
Congratulations Bob! Thanks for sharing your skills and the build of Skylark. I know you’ll enjoy many years of sailing this fine craft. Please, some more sailing videos once you get back to your home waters.
Super fantastic! I truly was thrilled to see the life launch. Now to hear you won best in show, the thrill continues. I would appreciate more episodes of your sailing adventures. Well done and happy sailing!
Just wonderful Mr. Emser. I decided to follow you because I have a dream of building my own boat. However, I thought I could only do you justice by watching your videos from the beginning. I hoped I could plan to watch your launch live, but I was still able to enjoy it as a video. I cannot wait until your next project and now I can do so as they are released. Phenomenal series with an excellent narrator and teacher. Good luck on your endeavors.
Bob, congratulations, you did it! It was indeed a pleasure viewing you and Ann sailing Skylark in the harbor at the Mystic Woooden Boat Show. Time to start thinking about building your next boat. As you so often say: "If you're going to make it, make it beautiful"
A beautiful boat and a well-deserved award. Hope to see Skylark on Lake Michigan someday. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. I really enjoy your channel.
Thank YOU Bob. Your videos are not only enjoyable to watch, but represent a huge catalog of invaluable instructions for a wide verity of craft and skills. Your channel is on my virtual bookshelf and is cherished as much as such books such as “Boatbuilding” by Chapelle. Thats assuming UA-cam will be around as long as that book that I inherited from my dad 50 years ago.
Congratulations on a beautiful launch and memorable first sail. That makes the heart so proud of your accomplishment. It is also satisfying that you were recognized and honored by the wooden boat community.
Congratulations Bob on a boat well built. I know the feeling of which you are speaking, as I launched my own boat one year ago. And just yesterday I entered it in my first boat show. Hearing all of the kind words from viewers of my boat just rekindles those proud feelings. Enjoy your sail. You deserve many more!
great channel !!! and fantastic artisan ( subscribed ). greetings from Argentina from another reader of wooden boat and classic boat, and with studies of naval architecture.
Such a beautiful boat Bob. Anne you did a great job bringing Skylark to dock at the end of the sail. What an awesome conclusion to this project Bob. I look forward to the seeing what the next project will be. Thanks for sharing.
I have watched every video and thoroughly enjoyed them all. It was especially gratifying to see how close she floated on her lines . Actually no surprise considering the builder
Congratulations on the launch of Skylark, one of the most beautiful vessels I've ever seen (& she looks even better under sail). Congratulations also for the well-deserved Wooden Boat award. You & your fine work are truly inspirational & I look forward to your next project.
Welcome to the club Sir! Oh how I wish that more people could experience all of the little successes that we have along the way and then this feeling that can’t be described when you glide across the water in your creation, for that first time. She is just lovely Bob. Wild congratulations!
Joel White did full justice to Nat Herreshoff's beautiful classic with the Haven 12 1/2 update, and you've done full justice to both designers with your superbly crafted edition. Congratulations!
Congratulations Bob! I hope you get a chance to take her out on the lake near your home soon and really learn how to singlehand Skylark over the rest of the summer. I got a chance to sail the Woodenboat School's Haven 12&1/2 this summer and it was a delight. Sorry for the shaky cam at the launch!

An ideal breeze for a maiden voyage. it has been wonderful watching from keel being laid to finally under way.

Waow. pendant la construction on voyait qu'il avait des lignes magnifiques, mais une fois sous voiles, il est superbe. Bravo !
That’s your best piece of art yet Bob. Great looking boat. Love to see it sailing around Clearwater harbor. Near the Belleair Causeway!
Thanks!
She looks beautiful under a suit of sails.🏆.

Congratulations Bob! I hope you get a chance to take her out on the lake near your home soon and really learn how to singlehand Skylark over the rest of the summer. I got a chance to sail the Woodenboat School's Haven 12&1/2 this summer and it was a delight. Sorry for the shaky cam at the launch!
Hi Bob
Congratulations...you are a magician...you turn wishes into reality...!
Now.... Get back to work!
We are waiting for you to start, the 'Big One', a schooner, maybe?
Best wishes, and congratulations.
Waht a beautiful boat!!! Well done!!!
What's the name of the squererigger you see 8 minutes into the video?
That’s Charles Morgan, the largest whaling boat still afloat. Very special boat, and a part of the Mystic Seaport fleet. -Anne
Great teacher. Beautiful sailboat, very pretty and the waterline is perfect. How do I get one of these aluminum thermal cups? 3:17
7:45 - she's pullin' a wheelie, coach says get outta the stern!
Thats a beautiful Haven 12 1/2, what is the ship rigged vessel at 7:55
So what’s next?
So many options. All reveled soon.
Congratulations, Bob. Thank you so much for sharing this journey.
Thanks for watching
