    Restoring an English sailing yacht by the Sampson Boat Company

    Caveat emptor- Im just starting and have only watched one out of about 160 episodes. Figure I’ll keep going though.

    Mods- if this doesn’t need its own thread feel free to add it where appropriate.

    Looks like a project close to my home on the Puget Sound. What ever would possess a Brit to save a hulk in OR and move it to Port Townsend in WA. He's one crazy MF but no doubt up to the task. I'm watching this from beginning to end because it's damn fascinating to me. Anyone with a GSP or Lab is worth a look.

    Thanks for posting that.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    This is the subject of a years-long-thread on The Wooden Boat Forum, too. The guy seems unstoppable.

    I just watched the first episode. Huge time sink on the way I think.

    And I just finished watching all the saved videos. Now I’ll be waiting for the new ones to be uploaded. It’s a fantastic series about boat building and wood working. There are many fantastic crafts men and women who have or are working with Leo. Thanks TOTS! I highly recommend it!

    Yep I'm in, much appreciated for the heads up TOTS.

    What was the name of the PF member that lived on an island and built a boat?
