I thought I'd heave a few links your direction just for the fun of it.
In no particular order:
Louie Sauzedde has a whole bunch of tips on his YouTube page: Tips from a Shipwright. These are really amazing tips and tricks. I've watched a few of them (and read others in WoodenBoat). Even though I don't have a wooden boat I'm trying to re-build, I find it fascinating to watch him and learn all sorts of new ways of doing things.
(Ross) Gannon and (Nat) Benjamin Marine Railway on Vineyard Haven are well known wooden ship builders and restorers. In December 2014 Nat Benjamin and a crew sailed his schooner down to Haiti to visit and bring supplies to an orphanage. Benjamin wrote a booklet about the experience that he offers for free. Off Center Harbor brought this to my attention, and I've found the link on the Gannon and Benjamin website. You can read the booklet (Passage to Haiti) here in Adobe Reader. He is also collecting money for the orphanage if you'd like to donate.
Ben and Alva: This is a neat little video (again thanks to Off Center Harbor for drawing this to all our attention) in which Ben Harris talks about the traditional boats in Falmouth Quay, Cornwall and his own boat Alva. (By the way, some of you may remember that Tim and Pauline Carr's Curlew was a modified Falmouth Quay Punt. Curlew was given to the British Maritime Small Boat Collection a few years ago. You can read about Lin and Larry Pardey's sailing with the Carrs in the Pardey's May 2013 Newsletter.)
Enjoy and Blessed Be,
Joel
