 First video of the Setka Cagarro build now on youtube


I have uploaded the first video of the build status at the moment to youtube - this is all very new to me, I am not aiming for movie kind of productions with slick edits and music and voiceovers. It is a one take, no edit description of what is happening. I am aiming to supplement the static nature of a blog with a video element, and will also add video of sailing the setka later- I am not interested in monetizing the the youtube channel, so there will not be any advertising on my youtube channel to disrupt anything - it is there for your enjoyment - hopefully 😊 😊 😊


i hope you have a look - thank you

 The 2 min boat tool

If you dont know about this boat building aid here it is 



just use a flat  piece of wood jointed square, and cut the hole on a bandsaw,
a jigsaw works but make sure the cut is square and true
and use it like this







and if you need a smaller one just cut a smaller hole

use it for cutting the ply sheeting and it also helps for marking to plane the progressive bevels on the stringers 












 NMEA connections and the low power interior lights Just some futher pictures from the last few weeks all the NMEA connections are contained...
