HOW TO build a STEEL HARD DODGER (pt.2) Ep.174 Building my steel sailing yacht

Part 2 of building Mistress' hard dodger and YES, as with everything with boats, getting things to this stage took more hard work than anticipated and a lot of sweat, particularly in the very HOT summer had on the Sunny Coast last-this year! At this stage however, I was SO HAPPY with how it came together AND how the top/roof plate was almost spot on for size/fit, only requiring a few small trims! Mistress is designed by one of the highly respected Dutch naval architects E.G. Van de Stadt, a Caribbean design, length 40ft/12m, beam 13ft/3.9m, draft 5ft/1.5m. Her hull and decks are built in mild steel and I have built her on my own and am also fitting her out on my own. I have not built any type of boat before Mistress. There were many reasons why, but the work stopped,... However, the work has re-started, thankfully, and I am on an exciting journey to finish Mistress and then go on my sailing adventures,... I hope that you can join along with me! @BuildingSYMistress https://www.youtube.com/user/bmwfreedom https://www.symistress.com https://www.patreon.com/symistress https://www.paypal.me/symistress bmwfreedom@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/bruce.wilson.1481 Music thanks www.bensound.com Creative Minds Epidemic sound: No Love Lost-Marin Klem Smoothest Blue-Beck and Call Homemade Lemonade-North Sphere Another Day Goes By-Tall Oak Town Afternoon Fireworks-Duke Herrington Grifting in Vegas-Kit and the Caltones
