4 years of boat building in 20 minutes (EP 18)

It's time for a catch up!
Here we go back in time to show you all how Tarkine started, from laying the keel to fastening the first planks! Matt takes some time to answer a few questions that have come up and a recap of what been happening this past year.

I'm impressed by you jumping in at the deep end like that instead of trying a much smaller boat for a first go.

I've been a long-term follower of Tally Ho, and Acorn to Arabella. It was great to stumble on your channel. It's so rewarding following a local production of a boat build. Really enjoying your progress. Mike

I’m finding it very hard to believe that neither of you knew much of traditional boatbuilding, laminating with epoxy, woodworking, carving, etc. before you started this project. At least confirm there was gold-leaf experience! :-). Truly impressive across all expectation! Keep going! Cause, well, you’re too far Inuit to stop now.

Great work dudes. As I've said, my wife and I built a 36 footer back in the 80's-90's. We did it pretty traditionally, Jarrah planks on steam bent Karri ribs, copper/bronze fastened, ( black locust trunnels for blind fastenings) caulked with oakum, no glue. The interior fit out was cedar of Lebanon sourced from an old tree grown locally, again, no glue. No paint inside. Gaff cutter rigged, galv standing rigging, solid pinaster pine mast. Lots of ways to skin a cat eh?. She's still going strong 30 years later. Hasn't even been re-caulked. Loving your build. Going to be one v. strong boat. Loved the transom.

Thank you 2 for making video from stem to stern. Your going to have one beautiful boat when you finish. It truly is, what dreams are made of!

[denislamadeleine]

I'm hoping you will keep making videos right through her launch and of course the adventures that follow. You guys have made amazing progress and I look forward to each new video to see what is next on the build list. Keep up the great work!

Truly amazing work, her transom looks absolutely beautiful.

As an avid viewer of boat builds, this is fast becoming a favourite of mine. Stunning work. Well done from the UK.

[davidlenneberg]

Brilliant what a sense of achievement you must be proud. Looking forward to seeing many more episodes.

Amazing how casually you display your craftsmanship, the finish looks incredible, and super inspiring

[felipericketts]

What a beautiful thing you are building! 🙂

[waynedoeblin]

Hey guys, that was a great idea to compile a series of your photographs like this, it answers so many of the questions I had.And now I know how you got to where you are.Thanks for sharing your story, I’ll keep watching what ever you share that’s for sure👌🙂

[stevedunford]

Thanks for sharing the early photos. I do like the technique of the cheap (ish) moulds followed by laminating the ribs. The view of the interior with the moulds removed is stunning. Keep up the good work.

[thamasakthamaz]

Watching you build this beautiful boat makes me want to build one for myself. Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories.
