It will be lighterand carry a bigger sail. The construction is different. It's built witha strong central plank. The two strakes above itare nailed directly onto the kneesof the frame. But the ones below - look!... are cleated and lashedonto the frames, not nailed, so they can move in relationto each other. This means the boat won't buttagainst the waves like a goat, but move over themlike a ripple. Hmm. The hull is deeper. Howwill my men set their oars? I will cut theminto the sheerstrakes, and the ports can be closedwhen the boat is at sea. And you think it could handlelong sea voyages? That's why I'm building it. But will it be strong enough? We won't know thatuntil we try. For the anchor. It's all I have leftfrom last summer's raids. Don't worry. We'll soon be as richas dwarves!

It will be lighter and carry a bigger sail
00:00:03.371 --> 00:00:04.807
The construction is different
00:00:04.908 --> 00:00:06.877
It's built with a strong central plank
00:00:06.945 --> 00:00:08.008
The two strakes above it are nailed
00:00:08.181 --> 00:00:09.917
directly onto the knees of the frame
00:00:10.001 --> 00:00:11.988
But the ones below look
00:00:12.089 --> 00:00:13.049
are cleated and lashed onto the frames
00:00:13.591 --> 00:00:14.592
not nailed
00:00:14.066 --> 00:00:17.064
so they can move in relation to each other
00:00:17.132 --> 00:00:19.669
This means the boat won't butt against the waves like a goat
00:00:19.771 --> 00:00:21.807
but move over them like a ripple
00:00:21.908 --> 00:00:23.276
Hmm
00:00:23.378 --> 00:00:25.481
The hull is deeper How will my men set their oars
00:00:25.548 --> 00:00:27.451
I will cut them into the sheerstrakes
00:00:27.552 --> 00:00:29.857
and the ports can be closed when the boat is at sea
00:00:29.924 --> 00:00:31.961
And you think it could handle long sea voyages
00:00:32.998 --> 00:00:35.467
That's why I'm building it
00:00:37.084 --> 00:00:40.744
But will it be strong enough
00:00:40.846 --> 00:00:43.483
We won't know that until we try
00:00:45.388 --> 00:00:47.758
For the anchor
00:00:47.827 --> 00:00:51.003
It's all I have left from last summer's raids
00:00:51.167 --> 00:00:52.803
Don't worry
00:00:52.904 --> 00:00:55.674
We'll soon be as rich as dwarves
