Just watched and wow.  I knew the masts folded back and were pulled back up with strings but I'd never seen it done.  I didn't know how they did the rigging either.  Fascinating.  Thanks for sharing the link.

I will also have to watch it.  Always puzzled me.  where do they get those wee little people to sail them in there?

And what do they eat? On second thought, where do they go to the bathroom?

No they don't. They told me they eat Seminoles. When they can't find them they eat people with red or black capes. LOLOL

I always find that show amazing.  The things that can be built with real "hand tools".

I myself will stick with the power version...

It is amazing. The craftsmanship and time spent making those. Just might have to try one someday.  8)
