If you’ve been a YouTube fan or TotalBoat customer for longer than a bit, then you’re likely a fan of our old friend, Lou Sauzedde. We were lucky to collaborate on the video and boatbuilding series, the TotalBoat Skiff and the TotalBoat Dory with Lou in past years, and we are beyond excited to announce that we have found Lou and are signed back up for more awesome boat building content with Bristol Shipwrights, his new endeavor. Lou and an old salty friend of his, Ken Boyle, have taken on the building and documenting of Ken’s classic Alden 43′ schooner that blends modern innovations like plastic frames (Lou’s favorite) and fiberglass floors with traditional materials and unique woodworking techniques. We are excited to introduce you to Lou’s latest endeavor and invite you to subscribe to his new channel and follow Ken and Lou along in their latest journey! You can bet that TotalBoat is following along and supporting their efforts as well!
