HOW TO MAKE A BOAT GAS/PROPANE LOCKER! Ep.145 Building my steel sailing yacht
ANOTHER good productive boatwork episode people!
Figuring out and fitting the cabin-sole cam-latch (NOT cheap!) hardware;
putting all of the little access hatch parts together and getting this gem fitted;
applying GRP/fibreglass to some marine plywood which will be used to make the LPG/Propane gas fuel aft, Port hatch locker box;
I FINALLY take you UP on to Mistress’ decks to show you around the aft deck area and explain several things regarding the WHAT AND WHY’s I have made and fitted to her decks;
and lastly make up the X5 panels to be used in making the fuel locker box!
Mistress is designed by one of the highly respected Dutch naval arcitects 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!

Building SY Mistress
Welcome to Building SY Mistress and her journeys! I have built a Van De Stadt, 40ft steel sailing yacht and am in the process of fitting her out. I have never built a boat before! I have built her solo, on my own. I found that there are very few youtube channels showing people amateur building in particular steel sailing boats and also particularly showing the nitty gritty work stuff, like the hours/days/weeks/months of the necessary and yes monotonous work that goes in to building a boat. NOTE - I do not intend on boring anybody viewing by showing most of the repetitive stuff! Heavy editing will be in place! So perhaps this channel could be helpful for anybody who may be wanting to see some more details in the building process and what/how much work is involved. Once Mistress is finished I will then move aboard and set sail,....... to commence my life-long dreams and goals of full-time sailing adventures,..... I really hope that you can join me along for the journey,...
