  • What song is this? Very charming

  • It's called "A wet sheet and a flowing sea", written by Alan Cunningham, apparently a friend of Robert Burns.

  • very nice boat! it must be a great pleasure to build it and to sail it!...and I'd like to do both things, but I can't find the plans. maybe the site doesn't work anymore, because I get no replies. can you please help me?

    ciao!

  • I think Stevenson projects was doing some work on their website recently. As far as I know the plans are still available. I just used google to look up "stevenson projects" and I see their website and order page is working, try there. Then join the "backyard yacht builders" club and the guys there will help you with any question you have.

  • some really lovely vessels, thanks.........

  • Hey, I built that Weekender too. I LOVED her. Sailed for three years then had to sell her to pay for my daughter's school tuition. I made my own sails thought. Hardley a day goes buy that I don't wonder where she is. Great job on yours!

  • That Blue one is sharp. nice builds guys :D

  • a small wooden boat, gives pure poetry. But not everyone can understand ....

  • @mousepad99 It's better than I was expecting. Not as good as a modern factory built rig, but definitely not scared of a lee shore. I would say that the pointing ability is "acceptable". You can work her to windward without getting angry and impatient, but fibreglass marconi riggers will be passing you eventually.

  • @jetporter I have sail boat ideas can I join this club sounding thing back yard boat builders or what ver it was I am a builder that has no meens as of yet to build anything and I want to biuld and I love the song as well :)

  • I've had the Weekender plans for years but had to finish my mahogany runabout first. It is now complete (or as complete as a wood boat ever gets) and the Weekender will be next. Great video. It inspires me to get busy!

  • VERY NICE SHIP...

  • That's just wonderfull! Such a nice shipy design. Good filming and great music. Really put me in a mood to sail.

  • Nice looking boats!
