Volume 2
This takes you from the completed hull assembly where we finished Vol 1. We fit the gunwales, the centreboard case, spiling the seating, laminating wood, the principles of buoyancy, and then making your own spars and painting the boat.
We also take a trip to the sailmakers, a chandlery for the fittings, and then to the RNLI to consider your safety on the water.

Volume 2, about fitting out and finishing the boat, is much more wide-ranging since many of the components Alec explains how to make and fit are applicable to many different small boats, as are the interviews with other experts on small boat fittings, how sails are made and sea safety.....Recommended – and I really didn’t have to say that.

Volume 1
Filmed in our workshops, the DVD takes you through the stages of building your own boat from the choice of the design through reading plans, lofting the plywood parts, using epoxy, and stitching and then taping the hull.
Copious graphics are used to illustrate and clarify many of the processes you will encounter when building a S&T vessel.
The DVD includes interviews with real life home builders who pass on their tips and suggestions for success in building your boat.

This DVD is a really good "how
to" visual resource on the ins and outs of stitch and tape
boatbuilding. Alec Jordan takes us step by step through the process right
from understanding the plans and choosing the materials to use to how to
stitch and tape neatly and without gluing yourself to the garage floor.
Punctuating the various stages of the process examples of home built
projects and interviews with the builders, are used making a well balanced
and informative resource. |

Several of these chapters have excellent graphics to illustrate the important points and I suspect Alec’s careful explanation on aligning the loosely-tied hull will be consulted more than once... ..nor is it a protracted advertisement for
Jordan Boats' kits;
other than a brief clip of the
computer-controlled router cutter in
action, they hardly get a mention. |
