It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years (Abe Lincoln)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” George Washington
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.
What a waste of tons of 185 grain .452 SWCs!
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 believe it`s not so much the size of the boat,as how tall the masts are and how much sail is on them.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
