Mistress' FIRST SURVEY!? Ep.178 Building my steel sailing yacht

MAN was I stopped in my tracks! NOTE - Simon's walk around inspection, both outside on the ground, on the decks and from anchor locker to lazarette and all in between were not filmed as I didn't want to get in his way and he moved quite efficiently in the process. I suggest to pour yourself a drink of choice, sit yourself down and get comfortable for a lengthy chat between the Marine Surveyor Simon and myself, that spontaneously unfolded whilst Simon was undertaking the FIRST and only ever boat survey done on Mistress! Many stories also unfolded of Simon's with some of the historical, Worlds 'small sailing craft' legends! 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 Many thanks to Simon Lloyd-Parker Simon's Survey business - Marine Surveyors Australia Music thanks www.bensound.com Creative Minds
