How to make treenails

When Hawila was built in 1935, frames and planks were fastened using treenails: a traditional and reliable fastening solution for frames and planks on all kind of ships and constructions. From our experience, treenails present a longer lasting fastening solution than galvanised bolts in oak as they won't deteriorate with time, but are longer to produce and harder to use. In this short video, we present the process we used to produce and insert oak treenails in our oak planks.

We are currently working on the refit of our sailing vessel Hawila. This structural overhaul will make her fit for the first Transatlantic crossing. Hawila will be sailing 60 tons of organic products as well as trainees across the Atlantic, in an emission-free way, showing that respectful, ethical, and clean transport is possible.
