This is a time lapse video of the building of a 40 foot wooden sail boat. We are currently in the middle of building her, so the time lapse wont be complete until about June.

Please check out http://magic-30.blogspot.com for pictures, descriptions, and week long time lapse segments, all updated once a week.

thanks!

  • How many laminate layers are needed? What is the advantage versus the traditional strip planking?

  • Generally, only two diagonal layers of 1/8inch laminates are needed. Although for this project we had up to 8 layers in the highest stressed areas.

    Laminating over strip planks adds a significant amount of strength and is very light weight. So you can use a thinner planking and save on weight with even more strength then you would have with normal planking

  • do you know where to get the plans for this boat

  • yes, you cant...its a custom design by Alfred Sanford of Nantucket.

  • This is a wonderful job! Congratulation!

    What is the thikness of an individual fir veneer? What was the average total skin thickness? Thank you!

  • the fir veneers are 1/8 inch thick from 4 layers up to 8 layers where the ballast is attached and at the stem.

see all

  • this is fucking sick, i wanna build one

  • Kids Talk Radio USA: Can you share any photos of the finished boat? Suprschool@aol.com. We would love to interview a boatbuilder for the Cabo Verde Tenth Island Project. Great job. You are an inspiration to young kids around the world. Plus, you choose the right jazz for the project. This helps to keep jazz alive in the schools.

  • a normal speed video would take a year...so no

  • Wow nice video and excellent craftsmanship. Thanks for showing. Is there going to be a normal speed video available?
