Boat Building with Composite Materials | Coosa Board | Sailboat Trawler Restoration (Ep17)

Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs.

This episode I discuss various composite materials I have used in parts of my boat building. There are a lot of interesting composite materials that open up a world of possibilities for various boat projects. I discuss Coroplast, Coosa Board, HDPE King Starboard, PVC Foam Board, Celtec, Komatex, Sintra, and Fiberglas G10. I also talk about building boat cabinets out of Celtec or PVC foam board using the Screw & Glue Method. This week I cover a Nav Pod and Refrigerator Stand Celtec boat building project.

The channel has started to pick up this week and I would like to welcome and thank all the new subscribers. I especially would like to thank Andy Miller from Boat Works Today for his kind words and generous help.

The Albin 27 was manufactured in the New England area of the United States from approximately 1983 to 1992. There were reportedly 500-600 of these boats manufactured. The Albin 27 is trailerable and weighed approximately 6,500 pounds from the factory. It is a true pocket trawler with a forward and aft cabin, galley, head, and pilothouse helm. I bought my Albin 27 in August 2014 and started a multi-year boat refit and boat restoration.
