Keel Bolts Going In!! - Building a cruising sailboat; SV Tapatya EP220

After a couple of days of grinding and welding to shape the keel leading edge, which I reduce to just a few seconds in this video, I start fitting the bronze keel bolts. Elsewhere, Hazel can be spotted doing some upgrade work for her boat, my mini lathe gets a good workout, and there's a brief mention of the water tank breather vent. This is the story of the building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of the build as it progresses and aim to show as much detail as possible of the various aspects of the build. These videos take a lot of time and effort to make, in what is already a time-intensive project. Your support in watching, subscribing and sharing these videos is very much appreciated.
