Nice clean illustrated reportage. Proper blend of "show" and "tell". Very good lighting.

This is very interesting to me. I built my first dinghy, an OK Dinghy, nearly 60 years ago when I was 18. Hard chine, but a very different construction method - frames and stringers. As soon as I saw the intro, I wondered if I could have built my OK using the same construction technique as the Scout. It wouldn't have passed class rules, but ...

Many years later, I built an A-Class catamaran out of 3mm ply using the tortured ply method and stitch-and-glue for the "keel line". There are very high stresses in the tortured ply method and I needed less than mm precision, so I used copper wire instead of cable ties, and the spacing between ties was 50mm to 75mm. The join line was strengthened with 100mm fibreglass tape and epoxy.

I'm interested in the differences and the similarities.

It this was your work, Maya, and I believe it was, it is videography of the highest order. You brought out Aladino's attention to detail and professionalism perfectly, without losing the humanity of the man. His addresses to camera are natural, and engaging. Occasional references to the world outside set him in context, and the whole process had a beginning, a middle and an end. A perfectly crafted story. Together with well chosen music that never takes centre stage. Masterful. How far you have travelled, both of you. Much admiration!

"a bit of a perfectionist" he says. Ya think!? Watching you work, to me, is as orchestrated and inspiring as the music Maya creates. The look in your eyes and the concentration in your face is as masterful as it gets. Pretty sure Duckworks is going to benefit by the updates and comments you deliver to the Scout manual. Well done Sir!

Always good to see a true craftsman at Better when he has a Beautiful Assistant :-)))) xxxx

I loved the opening and a nod to Leo with Tally Ho.
Lovely to see Aladino at work/play and to hear how he does things. Tried and tested is usually the best.

“I’m a boat builder and a sailor”. So you are also watching Sampson Boat Company👍. I admire the craftmanship and passion for boat building of both you and Leo.

Small Boats Monthly pays for reviews and your build/thoughts are a great fit. (I used to work there and try to send good articles their way whenever possible!) 1500 words and 5 photos are about $700 in pay. The editor is a great guy and awesome to work with. You should see about writing a review!

[joelwonder]

I watch specifically because of your attention to detail...never change please

[vivviedarling]

Very enjoyable to see the dinghy build and Aladino's craftsmanship.

[Mr.Mølbach]

Aladino.
You Are A very skilled craftsman.
It is a pleasure to watch.
Your father in law must be a proud man.

Kindest regards
Jesper of Denmark 🇩🇰😎🇩🇰

Thank you, the pursuit of perfection always warms the heart. Special thanks for the playlist.

[jepomer]

As beautiful as this last seasons sailing north, I am excited to watch Aladino's boat construction!

I do enjoy listening to his "accent". It is delightful "technical-ese".

[ElRob-]

Your perfectionism is passion, Aladino. Thank you for this episode!

[Rogster]

There is only one way to do this construction and that is the right way, you call yourself a perfectionist, I call it doing the job the right way, what a great idea for a tender for your boat thank you for sharing your vlog all the best from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

It has always amazed me when I see, on line, large motor yachts with rowing machines on board. They are missing such a trick. Exploring anchorages in a dingy is one of the greatest pleasures of cruising. Exercise, green and fun. If you have youngsters on board you will never get them out of a dingy and there is no better way to learn. Sadly I am getting a bit old for playing in dingies so I will watch you instead.😀

[terrylawrence]

I love these process videos as you two work on projects. Craftsmanship and passion are fascinating to watch.

[davehayes]

Thanks for the quality work and video.
A fourth part showing how she performs under adventure conditions would be fun and fascinating!

[RobHaren]

Great video Aladino! I have used Duck Works for sailing items for the WWP15. Your skill for boat work is amazing, your attention to detail and execution is nothing less than first class. Looking forward to your next video. Rob

[billywhizz]

Great to see a duckworks kit being built. The old project management adage of 'cost, quality, time... pick any two from three' applies again!
