This was a great insight into a traditional skill that as smilingzebra noted, is probably something we'll be falling back on very soon. Richard, I hope your musing at the end of the clip comes to fruition soon. Perhaps this is one of the very few positives that will come from 'Peakoil' - the return to wind transport.
Fantastic! They are REAL boats, not the plastic things we make these days!
