    So many design details wrought by experience. It's a real treasure to have you talk through your thoughts as you build to document just a fraction of your knowledge. This kind of knowledge takes several lifetimes to learn and it's good you have the opportunity to pass it on.

    I check in with YT as I prepare for bed most nights, and tonight I scrolled through an above average amount of BS but then I see this posting.
    I wish I could convey, Lou, how much I appreciate you. You remind me of my own grandad. You are a national treasure and there are so many folks like me that just adore and appreciate these postings.

    Huge fan of tillers over wheels. Wheels are convenient and pretty but with a tiller you can feel the balance of boat. This is much more evident when sailing. I brought a friend out on a 27' with a tiller for his first time sailing. Once he felt the tiller and got comfortable he had a blast.

    What a wonderful boat. I can imagine running it from the stern. I agree with you about slotted bronze screws but I have found I prefer square drive (Robertson) ones. They are very common in Canada. I understand the ease of repair with slotted but I build and don't repair so there ya be. I agree, even in fresh water, good galvanized beats stainless.

    Lou it's the boat I've been thinking about myself. Seeing boats from Europe and islands that are very long driven from the back but too narrow for their length...they just don't look right.
    The lines and proportions of this boat are perfect for taking out a few friends to sightsee, fish, swim off etc., fresh or salt water.
    You build like a carpenter, regular guy. I think of boats as functional art work.
    Didn't know about the two part epoxy, have only used West and their fillers. Haven't built a whole boat yet but would like to this year. Done lots of curved work in carpentry through the years and was given a 17' dory shell 20 + years ago and put on mahogany gunnels and thwarts and painted it up nice.
    Used a California Paint product called Larcoloid I think, and held up for years, but the boat was always trailered.
    Will there be plans for the 23?

    If there is one thing I need your answer to it has to be Where the fibreglass laminate ends you cover with polysulphide sealant the length of the timber top edge, is it sealed with epoxy from the layup or bare wood as appears in the video. My reason for asking is I’m afraid if water penetrates the layers it could rot. Normal core has a 20 degree bevel off angle and it is sealed as an envelope of GRP.

    I'll take a Robertson screw anytime over any other style myself. They don't cam out like Phillips or slip sideways like a straight slot since they're self aligning, and are readily available in any metal or gauge in my neck of the woods. However they're not as pretty or traditional as perhaps a straight slot when it comes to attaching fittings etc.

It seems that the entire topsides (frames & planking) are held on with only 2 screws per vertical frame-piece, AND where the frames hv all been cut back to about 1'' thick. One good bump alongside, and wouldn't some of those 1'' fingers just break off ... ?

I have spent a fair amount of time with my thighs against the cap board, and too low is pretty painful after a few hours. (depends how tall you are). PS. you can get decent stainless screws in the exact pattern as the bronze, but harder to get hold of,and more expensive.
