Air date: Aug 10, 2020

In Episode 2 shipwright Lou Sauzedde continues his overview of building a classic Alden 270 schooner with innovative and traditional techniques materials. You could say it's a composite build.

How can modern techniques and materials lead to a stronger longer lasting sailboat? Does plastic have any place in wooden boatbuilding?"
