What this video covers

The video is almost entirely garbled noise, with one legible passage: crew member Sam, who came from a furniture-making college in Holland, replaced Remy and Lukas and has been assembling the centreline structure, fabricating bronze bolts to fasten it, assembling frame pairs, and attaching frames and floors to the centreline.11:13 The title indicates the subject is transom construction and frame pairing during the build of the schooner Malabar IV, but the video contains no recoverable detail on those specific processes beyond Sam's role. No measurements, timber species, joinery methods, or tool techniques are described in the legible text. The one concrete fact is that hand-made bronze bolts — fabricated on site — fasten the centreline structure together.11:23
