1. It's a real pleasure to be working with quality hardwoods. Different species have different qualities, the white oak and ash that I am using on the build are suited to the marine environment. I think that wood will always have a place in boat building not only because it is beautiful, strong yet flexible, a renewable resource, relatively inexpensive, easy to source, but it is a joy to work as any boat builder will attest.

2. Great process Team Rover. Glad you decided to make the battens out of timber.

3. Nice work Alan….are you going to carry a spare?

4. -18c 🥶 !!!!!

5. Looking good those battens. Is a whole spare necessary? If one broke you would still have the batten. Will the ends be tapered (less load?). Credit to you working in those temperatures. Needs must I guess.

6. Alan, very well done.

7. Lovely job – might be worth painting/protecting those battens, ash is a wonderful wood but (speaking as someone who replaced the ash on a Morris Traveler) it is prone to rot!!

8. An old windsurfer trick when I travel abroad to avoid sail breaks when a batten breaks is to tape all along the batten, so only breaks a hole instead whole fabric

9. Your attention to detail is incredible, thank you for putting so much effort into your videos! 👍

10. 👋👋👍 Good morning Mr and Mrs ROVER , do have an enjoyable , warm , also a great day/ weekend 🙏👍….. It is very nice to see that you guys are still CRACKING ON !😄 i wish both of you , lots of happiness and great health 🙏👍👌…… The sail is going to look just wonderful and strong , and it will propel ROVER 650 at above 20 knts 😄😄 YES , IT WILL ! ……👋👋👋 Have a great day !🙏🙏🙏

11. What an outstanding teacher you are Alan! Taking the time to show your viewers step buy step is a gift that thanks to modern technology and the net will last forever. You have created a way forward for future sailors to follow there dreams.When Wave Rover is complete, thanks to your dedication and high production value posting, you have truly created the ultimate construction manual.
    In a time when we are so energy conscious it is refreshing to see that renewable non toxic materials still had a place in world cruising.
    Thank You

12. One thirtysecond of an inch, that' s about 0.8 millimeters.
    You must be a little Einstein to work this out in your head, I cannot do it, so why are you still use those measurements from the the middleages ? 😂

13. Alan, thanks for making Fridays so meaningful! I am excited to see your sails coming along. Having lived and taught in China, I wondered why a 5000 year old civilization would still use the junk rigging…. it must be very useful, durable and easy to manage in all conditions or it would have died out. Keep teaching us more about these interesting sails please. Especially your experience with them because you can directly compare the experience to Bermuda rigs. I'm keen to hear your thoughts when you're out on the seas. Thanking you for these videos from Victoria.

14. It's always a pleasure watching the work come together Alan.

15. I'm curious to why you used the planer first and then the sander over the joints? I would have only used a belt sander for that step as I think the epoxy is too hard on the blades in the planer and the surface gets sanded anyway in the end.

16. In the living room again , Mrs Rover is going to be so happy when you're done.

17. It’s nice to see that other people in the world epoxy things inside a warm house😂. Recently, I was building a stitch-and-glue rowboat, and I had to do some epoxy work in my home. Again, thank you for the wonderful tutorials on scarfing and epoxy work.

18. Skipper, I'd love to see a video where you walk us through the tool kit you'll be taking with you on the big voyage!

19. Hello again from southern Florida ,
    There are a great many reports of Whales attacking and sinking small Sail Boats, do you suppose that Rover will be too small, robust to attract fiesta Sea Creatures ?
    I'm not at all a Sailor, so my question is the product of my lack of knowledge and Fear.
    What do you do if you are whacked by a 70 foot long Whale's tail. ??? ( do you keep a Satellite Phone to signal a MayDay ?? )

20. Awesome work, Alan! You going to let Mrs. Rover put down some carpet in there?

21. Ha, I could just hear Mrs. Rover: "You did what in my dining room?" As always, I enjoy watching your precise working style. I'm going to have to read up on Junk Rigging because this is all new to me.

22. Way to power through winter! Spring is on it's way. So exciting to see things taking shape. Those are beautiful scarfs!

23. 😀👍 You are most welcome , Mr & Mrs ROVER 🙏👋

24. This is an Algorithm Booster! ⛵

25. It’s so painful watching people who live in cold climates try to live normal lives. If you lived in Florida you could have build the wave rover 3x and sailed them all to Europe and back by now. 😅 but on a serious note, great job and you do have some entertaining videos.
