EP10 Steaming and fitting Green Oak frames: Building the schooner Malabar IV

Be the fly-on-the-wall as traditional boatbuilder Ben Harris, together with his foreman Jordan Kimpton, Archie Rowe, and Emmett O'Conner, steam and fit the Green Oak (intermediate) frames in this observational episode. As you'll see, the hull's now really taking shape... Steamed and fitted between the grown and laminated frames, the Green Oak frames add strength and support to the planking of MALABAR IV's hull – a John Alden-designed 47-foot schooner being built in Cornwall, UK. Happy New Year, all, and thanks for watching!
