Building the TotalBoat Sport Dory: Season 2 Episode 1

Calling all Louis Sauzedde super fans, boat builders, tinkerers, hobbyists, sailors, rowers, woodworkers and dreamers! Season 2, Episode 1 of Louis Sauzedde’s new series, Building the TotalBoat Sport Dory, is here, to once again grace your inbox every Friday. This time though, the Tips from a Shipwright star of the TotalBoat Skiff build video series, is sourcing Atlantic White Cedar planks that will be built onto frames and bent into the most perfect little Dory that can be rowed or sailed or even accept a small motor one day. We know you’re ready for more of Lou and his expert advice and clever tips and we can’t wait to hear to what you think about this latest series and episode 1.

As a fan would expect from Lou, he won’t be lofting big plans to work from; his simple drawing will guide him through the build and leave some of the magic of building a sweet little boat of his own design to his quick thinking. Lou loves the chance to work with the materials and make changes or tweaks in the moment – so expect the unexpected, once again. It’s why we love Lou.

So, welcome back to Season 2. We hope the enthusiasm and banter in the comments will continue. We hope you’ll be inspired to start something new in your own workshop or finish something old. Share this series on your social media pages and let us know what projects you’re working on and what questions you may have for Lou. We forward them on to and delight in reading about what you think.
