Our next Iona video is almost finished! Sadly, we can't cruise all the time, however we are very lucky to live in sunny Devon 😀 Our home county is a truly beautiful place, and millions come to visit every year. As well as cruise and travel vlogs, we will be bringing you a Devon vlog series where we explore the many many incredible things to see and do. We will also be giving some local tips and tricks, as well as a few hidden gems that may not be in the average tourist guidebook 😊 #shorts
In the last weeks, our team put six bilge stringers to add strength and stiffness to the hull. For each one, we follow the same procedure: The first step is to create a template and transfer it to the carefully selected piece of oak, which we shape into form with circular saws, planers and sanders. Then our team uses a mix of linseed oil, tar and chalk to seal the gaps between the bilge stringer and frames. In the meantime, the piece of oak is being steamed and finally bent and bolted into its place. Video edit: Karoline Hill Music: Buckeye Bonzai by Vans in Japan
