    Very good video and informative. I am contemplating the built of a 40 foot gaff rigged schooner. These informations is exactly what i needed.

    True Craft, true Art form. Clever, simply and respectively explained. Well done Myles and OCH.

    Fantastic! This video alone was worth the membership. The serving mallet in action, freewheeling (!) around the cable in perfect turns in record time. Myles and OCH satisfying my OCD. More, please. More!

    Like having a marine museum in my house. Thanks. I never would have seen the beauty and skill in this craft without OCH.

    This is a brilliant series, Myles is a natural teacher as well as a top craftsman. Will be recommending this all around.
