a set of Forstner bits is on my wish list. I should do that soon. thanks!

hopefully, a boat, we shall see. lol

@@JohnFedora-k2d that would probably work. I had the paulownia, for some time, and had never used it before so I wanted to try to use it. It is so light weight!

That is a good question. I'm not sure on a large ship, especially with multiple sails. Generally a mast may be raked or even bent to increase sail shape or in order to throw the Center of Effort aft. putting the COE aft would help with balance or getting more weather helm. Strangely enough, could just be the designer thinks it looks cool. lol

well, I plan on pouring it so having the keel mold plan is good. I learned a lot the first time. Love your channel picture, Curly! Cheers, Chuck

that is a very good question. I don't expect to keep both but until I get the new boat finished, I won't be able to make that decision. It would be hard to part with Enchanted, for a number of reasons.

@@olivei2484 you can live vicariously here… or buy plans. LOL

@@JenkinsBoatWorks Live vicariously. I helped my dad build a boat back in the '80s. Heh. It was some thing. This is a pretty nice set of plans.

@@Poppy_love59 I’m ready to get rolling! Stay tuned! :)

interesting!

It would be awesome if we were building at some what the same time. bouncing ideas off each other would be great.

thank you, I'm pretty excited. will do on the episode numbers and plan to put all on a playlist as well. cheers!

I don’t think that I did that but maybe. There isn’t a lot of play or vibration to really allow anything to work loose.

@@notoriousv.i.g.6980 thanks for watching. I generally get about 15 strips out of a 1 x 6 (really 5.5). Honestly I don’t remember how many boards because I had some strips laying around. Just doing the math, I’d say that 4, 12 foot boards would do it. What’s nutty as I think about it is that I did a 16 foot canoe with 6 boards. Of course those were 16 foot boards though too

@@JenkinsBoatWorks thank you sir! heading to the lumberyard now

@@notoriousv.i.g.6980 awesome, keep me posted with your progress.

I do have a small air compressor but I don't have a lot of attachments and just rarely use it. I'll keep it in mind for the future. thanks!

Since you mentioned it.... I almost did a video about all of the really terrible parts of this trip but held off. The boat was not in brilliant condition. We had an engineer on board and he was the hardest working member of the crew. When we first arrived to check in and get a Captain's meeting, we were informed that several cabins down below had bed bugs. they had been sprayed for but they couldn't guarantee that they might not be a problem going forward. We were advised that we could abandon the cruise and get a refund if we so chose. That however would have meant that we were stuck in Nassau for a week with no hotel reservations, etc. We went on the cruise. Along about day 3, the plumbing broke severely and the toilets failed. I feel sure that some of it emptied into the bilge. So, to your comment, yes, it smelled, and smelled bad. While the heads were out of order, We had to use a 5 gallon bucket for half a day until they got it fixed. The dinghy that they used to go ashore was an inflatable and one side had a serious leak and although they tried to patch it, they couldn't fix it. They managed to use it by tying bumpers to that side in order to keep it afloat, but even so, it had a bad list. On the last day, it was so bad that we couldn't go ashore for a planned activity. There was quite a bit more that was less than expected. I loved the places we got to go and I loved how the boat sailed. For all of that I liked the trip. Sadly, I won't ever plan a trip with this company, ever again. My wife would be quite a bit more harsh in her review than I have been here. I have told people that we got to sail on a traditional sailing schooner and pretty much got a 19th century experience.

@@JenkinsBoatWorks Thanks for the reply. Enjoyed trips on Liberty Clipper in 2017/18/19 but thanks to your comments I won't be back any time soon. On our last trip in 2019, we made it all the way to Staniel Cay in the Exumas. An important destination as the shipboard ice maker had failed (repair part not available ). i hope never to see an island with pigs ever again. Fat chance, as some bright sparkin the nassau government has decided that these animals bring tourist dollars. So there are designated pig islands in each chain of islands now. Very sorry for No-Name in the Abacos, a former picnic island, now fouled all over with pig feces.

I saw one for sale on Marketplace yesterday and I'm tempted.. I don't really need another boat,lol

Yes, and I took her out for the first time last Friday and still had the sail on the starboard side. It was pretty windy and so I left the dock with the sail down. got out in the lake a bit and tried to raise the sail and had a devil of a time as the halyard was binding up. I managed it ok by lifting the gooseneck by hand and helping it but definately need to twist the gooseneck so that it faces the other way. Great sailing no less. I hadn't sailed a sunfish since I was a teenager. I'm thinking I need to revisit a Laser now, too. lol

@@JenkinsBoatWorks Huzzah!!

interesting!

@@ianjones4071 thanks!

hope the light wiring goes easy for you!

Nice! I did my dedicated ground as one wire, t-tapped the marker lights and taillights. This then went to a grounding lug on the tongue, connected to the plug wire. I also made a pig-tail so I could test the trailer lights with out the tow vehicle (plug into a battery). I do disconnect the truck from trailer when submerging the trailer, even though it is fresh water. Saves the regular type bulbs a bit longer.

@@tunerrestorations awesome! Good luck with it

yeah, you should. they are so fun

That’s a great idea. I fought for several hours today jacking around with the lights. Couldn’t get a good ground using the metal of the trailer and finally ran a ground wire all the way back to the lights

@@JenkinsBoatWorks Yup, I ran a dedicated ground too. My trailer too rusty. Put a grounding lug on tongue and ran plug ground to the lug. Now I just need to keep bulbs alive.

I found a cheap trailer and boat combo, $100. The boat is scrap, and can be cut up easily. This was over the winter.

that is how I got one trailer too. They can be stupid expensive, alone.

I am and it is. This was at Sailboat Cove in Smithville. I sail there, mostly

I wonder about myself sometimes. I go and build a SUP and I've never been on one before. lol. I thought it would be more difficult to stand up. It really wasn't that hard. I did go back out and fall off several times. Happy to report that I was able to get back on, even in deep water. all things equal, I'd rather sail but I see the attraction with paddle boarding. best, Chuck

I had to get bearings at a speciality shop, have a spare set if you need a part number.

@@olivei2484 I appreciate it. I wound up with extra through this whole process. The grease seals were the most difficult to find but I even now have one extra. I still won't have a spare tire however.

@@JenkinsBoatWorks I think my seals had a p/n. Either way, glad it worked. After this video, I looked into replacing mine with a 5 bolt lug set, now just have to find the 3/4" axle size, heh. Wonder how old these wheel sets are?

@@olivei2484 I'm going to say from the 1960's. This trailer came with a Demon 15 on it. The Demon was the predecessor to the Sweet 16, both made by Advance Sailboats. The first Demons were produced in 1961. I actually have two of these Demons, waiting for some love. lol

appreciate that. I lost one washer in this process, still can't find it. I need to clean my shop and put my tools away, lol

I'm so glad to hear that the videos are a help to you. This was a really fun and rewarding project. A couple of times I thought I was pretty crazy for building a board since I've never been on one before. HA! It was easier to stand up on than I thought. Not shown in the video, I went back out and fell off several times but I was also able to get back on, even in deep water. Good luck!

@@JenkinsBoatWorks I fell in love with boarding a few years ago after trying it once, decided it would be cheaper to build my own than rent as often as I'd want to go. I'm not so sure about that now but it's sure been rewarding, and awesome to see a true success story with it, from someone who did things almost exactly as I'm planning to (right down to the epoxy brand and epoxying the internal frame) Best of luck on the rest of your channel, my curiosity's been piqued by the rest of your content too, despite my lack of knowledge. Love your style. Keep it up, please! :P

went amazingly well. I'd still rather sail. lol
