Building Ferrari’s all electric wooden boat. (Part 1)

As an amateur hobbyist boat builder, I decided to replicate the Ferrari’s designer Frank Stephenson’s custom made Slipper launch electric boat. I used designs from Dan Lee : @DanLeeBoatbuilding the plans are drawn by naval architect Michel Berryer which in my opinion way superior to Glen-L’s blueprints. Modern boat building is evolving and being able to navigate a 3D modeled blueprint with optional CNC cut components is the future of the wooden boat building. I apologize for the mistakes that you may have noticed. I didn’t even held a hammer before 2020 :) and boat building is an unending learning process. My friend Bob is also working on one of Dan’s designs Temptress. You may follow him on@Polymerman Stay tuned for the part-2. 00:00 - CNC cutting mahogany pieces for frames 00:40 - CNC cutting the construction board 01:25 - Dry fitting the frames on construction board 02:10 - Epoxying the frame parts. 03:03 - How to clean a super dusty workshop 03:16 - Building the strong back (base to build the boat on) 04:05 - Planing (Thinning to size) the wood stock for stem (forward part of a boat). 04:24 - Steam-bending the laminated stem pieces. 05:24 - Removing extras from the stem with CNC 05:44 - Cutting transom template from plywood 06:19 - Epoxying the transom in to template 07:03 - Laminating the stringers 07:24 - Planing the stringer to size 07:41 - Placing stringers through frames 07:55 - Cutting notches on stringers to insert frames 08:55 - Fixing transom to stringers 09:55 - Shaping and beveling the stem 10:55 - Building the keel 11:54 - Steam bending chine (discarded later ) 12:29 - Shaping the stem 13:29 - Setting up batten notches 13:58 - Cutting batten notches 14:43 - Beveling keel and stem 15:14 - Installing laminated chine 15:56 - Installing battens 17:21 - Connecting sheer with transom 17:53 - Epoxying keel to frames 18:24 - Advanced keel fixation using angular momentum with potential energy derivered from the earths gravity. 18:38 - End of part 1.
