Boat Build Lofting Preps - Ep 6 - Building A Wooden Trawler Yacht

Episode 6 In this episode, the boat cradle is finished and the lofting table is prepared. Before the first wood timbers can be cut for the boat there are a few steps that must be completed first. The boat cradle is made up of 6x6 and 6x8 timbers mostly acquired from the city public works auction. The cradle consists of two parallel lines of timbers spaced 5' apart with cross braces spaced 4' apart and spiked to the bottom timbers.
