Ambitious project, but somehow I think this guy will do it - he built his own foundry to cast bronze blades for his variable pitch prop. Impressive stuff. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

ive watched them all, she is a big vessel with a lot of fitting to be done yet. i agree with pete67 his the type of guy that will finish her.
gotta love what he says under the video
quote...
We're building a 74 ft steel sailboat in our front yard. And we're doing it for the best reason there is to build a boat. We want to. So don't tell us "you'll never finish", "you'll be divorced before it's done", "your wasting money', we've hear all of the warnings and we do not fear our dreams. We are wolves, not sheep.

love his attitude

go onto his website svseeker, he has already built an aluminium submarine, also built his own house in the ghetto so he could have room to build boats in his front yard. (the property is cheaper in the ghetto u just need a 12 gauge shotgun and a few pistols) he is a header

Fair play to him, he seems to use his head to come up with simple solutions for big jobs.
