    That was something for sure, I could've told them not to use plywood! They should've called me

    Doesn't seem like that many once you do the math.

    They had reasons for using plywood that made sense. There is another video addressing the concerns of using other materials and problems that can arise with those at a later time when the boat is assembled and used in the salt water.

    As for the dross they are planning on using a router to clean of the surface of the keel, so we shall see how that works for them. I have been watching this build for awhile as well as the Tally Ho rebuild. I think the British guy doing the Tally Ho makes a great video.

    they weren't dummys. Just the rigging and moving took a lot of ingenuity for young inexperienced riggers. I wonder if they then build the boat around that keel or if they lift it into the hull of the boat?

    I’m guessing they built around it. I base that on seeing how much effort they put into moving it into that one exact spot.

    How big is a boat that needs a 9000 pound keel?

    I believe it`s not so much the size of the boat,as how tall the masts are and how much sail is on them.
