Estou cursando Construção Naval na Fatec de Jahu-sp, gostei muito do vídeo!

There are way, way more labour intensive and more expensive ways of building sailing boats..

Warren, Where do you sail your Lightning?? I had a wood one in Milwaukee = always sailed in Lake Michigan = real adventure!! Learned to sail from friends who had had lightnings. I worked in boatyards on wooded sailboats so mine was perfectly kept, painted & varnished. Had to leave it to move out west but I consider the Lightning to be one of the finest sailing boats of all!! Fantastic design = centerboard sloop with hard chine--This is the perfect combination of those features and don't know why it was about the only one--except for the class x boat which was about the same but 15' instead of f 19. 2--Do you have pics? 3--Wood or fiberglass--probably wood if you built it--no?

You built and owned a Lightning for a half century and you cannot spell Olin Stephens' name?

I Love yatches but I am affraiid of open se as.

i agree but the 8values result in your pfp is cringe and unbased

Its twentyseven coats an a half.

He's gonna need a new pair of knees!

and after years of Atlantic storms, being baked in Caribbean sun, out in the Dutch wind and rain - you'll still be able to see yourself in it. Beautiful work.

Laurent Giles design?

8467.49 Euros and it took about two weeks.

Ist tatsächlich ein ziemlich genauer Nachbau der IMPALA - 1954 A&R Bau.

One google.

I thought they left the wood on the mold and popped it off completely.

In many boat builders opinion, this is the very best way to build a boat when cost is not a factor. Production fiberglass boats are plentiful because they are relatively cheap to build. Look at Spirit yachts. They are wood-epoxy composite and engineered to last 100 years. You get most of the benefits of wood construction (natural buoyancy and Incredible strength) without the need to caulk seams and replace fastenings wasted by corrosion and in general maintenance is greatly reduced. The wood itself can last indefinitely. There's also a huge sustainability component. We are learning that old fiberglass boats (unlike wood and even steel boats) do not decompose and return to the earth. It is becoming a major disposal problem. Many old fiberglass boats are simply abandoned.

This is a standard strip build construction, most fiberglas boats today have some type of wood core typically some type of balsa or foam or other light material for a core.
