  1. Take a look at the Samson Boat YT channel, rebuilding the Tally Ho...showcases the sailing boat decking layout and install is an incredible art coupled to serious woodworking skills and finishing.

  4. How much would you bet that a 2023 model of one of these wont last as long as that 1929 model?

  5. Had an Alden design, smaller than this one (this one i think is a Herreshoff) that was built in 1936. Same style of teak decks. I lived aboard for quite a number of years in the tropics. Those decks are beautiful but an absolute man killer to keep caulked and payed where they wont leak.
