Lofting - SV Tapatya Ep03

Building a cruising sailboat Building a Jay Benford designed, 32ft junk schooner dory. In this video, I talk about the first stages of the lofting, ie. the drawing out of the boat full-size in 3 elevations on a grid marked on the boatshed floor. Lofting is an essential stage in getting the true dimensions in order to build a smooth, fair hull. All music from these videos is available from: https://ynotb.bandcamp.com/album/the-sv-tapatya-tracks Follow the build, along with the story of my first cruising adventure (The Miss Molly I Adventures) on my website; http://www.svtapatya.com Support the build, the vlog, the blog and the writing on; https://www.patreon.com/sv_tapatya Or follow me on Instagram for various shots of my boating life; https://www.instagram.com/sv.tapatya This is the story of my building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk-rigged, schooner dory. The boat utilises a hard-chined, plywood construction and this design of boat is a proven, capable, ocean-going vessel. Boat building with plywood is a relatively easy and cost-effective way to produce a strong, monocoque-style boat hull. These videos aim to show the way in which I go about it.
