This is the tenth episode of the 18’ sailboat build and has to do with prepping the hull for winter. After the last big storm (shortly after posting the last episode) there was more damage to the portable shelter, the temperatures started to plummet downwards, more blustery, rainy weather with high winds ahead, and by the time this is posted – we should have snow on the ground.

SO…….what’s ahead? Boat building continues with metal working projects such as making various brackets, gudgeons, pintles, fittings, and so forth. There will also be smaller woodworking projects for the new sailboat that will take place in the shop. In addition, I’ll be posting more videos on other subjects, ranging from furniture & kid’s toys, Christmas ornaments, Farm & Homestead items, and art projects (my usual winter activity).

Here's the video:
