a bygone era. pavel macho called scent of a private shipyard more than twenty years ago. since then the shop has been crammed with wooden boats even under construction already for sailing. the console each launches an exciting and festive occasion. the shipyards owner is unlikely to ever get bored with sending vessels on them maiden voyage. joy it's their success for the wooden boats have been built throughout human history the very busy and i don't see any reason why we should ever stop making them rather it's. after all is the only building material that actually has a life of its are still true. today pavel is launching

a boat which was built on the request of a group of scientists and will help researches moscow university's biological station situated by the y. . see. killed to the mark to call of son of cattle not to cough is back in his home town of petra zawacki following the trip to st petersburg educated as an engineer he spent a good deal of time there in the libraries he was looking for suitable blueprints for a new project. technical expertise and the experience of a historian but equally important these kind of ship building. you know the grid founded pictures of boats going seventeen zero three literally a month after he established st petersburg letters of all the schools created for the purpose of manufacturing cannons and cannon balls for the fledgling russian navy and again however peter didn't build wooden boats here his shipyards were elsewhere. there are several private shipyards and petra zawacki

they operate just like the ones owned by the mob she calls. and says times a local plant built wooden minesweepers for the navy it was shut down in the one nine hundred ninety s. but some of the stuff when fuz yes took enough to set up businesses of their own moreover they passed their interest in wooden boats on to their children. are we going to make the steering or. the boats quite small so let's take a look at design forty five. it is. not a look. i think for us we should take design forty eight where it's a bit smaller the construction is the same as forty. monk the testis has come to petra zawacki from the volga region he has ordered the

construction of replicas of russian both stating back to ancient times a month keeps a watchful eye on the progress of the work. reading will be here. their internal was over there. are you going to cover it up there is no this stays open. up like it should be covered up. you know you'll get access through this opening. will this be closed. they'll be open you have a hard time getting anything through there if the hole is positioned to. cover those shipyards stand side by side with the wall known by the to dimitri of. the st nicholas is about to set out from the pair of the arctic odyssey club victor demetrius sees off his son alexei. don't lean over the side the weight is too strong. safety first. the st nicholas was

a sailing vessel built puzzle much you called shipyard. paddle has warm memories of another occasion when he got a request from british filmmakers. of alfa romeo. i wanted a telephone call and the caller said he represented a film company in the studio much of the other goals was to build some models for a film but he didn't say exactly which film it was going to be. shortly before the phone call powerful had read the hornblower a novel by the british author sessile scott forrester it was clear from the list of ships that he was being asked to do his bit for an adaptation of the book it's going to go work but he said right away though that it was about see battles during the napoleonic wars so were there no more to. serve even that small bit of information narrowed it down forests and forrester was the first name that sprang

to mind when. the customers were impressed by the ability of petra's of old shipbuilders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the boats for the hornblower see cool which were built in patches of votes one two emmy awards. he's a good. person not a bad idea of building rowing boats as well as models was quite a challenge to force it up i think we had to handle a lot of archive material to be able to make english and french vessels. and we were also told that british audiences can be quite sophisticated. but they have no difficulty telling an english frigate from a french one. into puzzles shipyard less than

a year to build eleven replica vessels and four full scale rowing boats dating back to the late eighteenth century. collingswood done by restores the keiji museum. itself a year it's complete the job and we don't models with sales canons and carvings. since. some of the ships launched in patches of oscar in the past years are already part of modern history a museum in the siberian town of circuit is playing with the idea of enriching its collection with a replica of a cosigner boat it was made in victor dimitri of shipyard in petra's avoid school most twenty years ago at the request of a russian film company. the vessel is an exact copy of the sixteenth century cost boat. so you have replaced the star here yes excellent now fifty planks here

please. replica was featured in a film about the legendary. a man who conquered siberia. this is a natural wall saw it up into four sections then will separate it borrow in the midsection and then put it all back together and it's so good museum. sometimes victor and pawel compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects. one of the employees is showing the monk how the project is progressing. a low good day how's it going not mine everything's fine. have you finished in the deck you have been. well let's install the gas tank here but maybe let's put it there to go. with all the other equipment has been linked up

. like the engine control. right now demetrius company is working on boats ordered by thier pistis the months idea was to use three replicas of ancient russian boats to retrace the waterway that links russia to the balkans in the eleventh century of opinion that life has lost that precious kernel that used to be at its very core the joys of creation learning and discovery it's that we hope to be able to revive those values by organizing what we call the journey from russia to the land of the serbs. since then i think to dmitri have has built some fifty vessels the shipyard launches new boats on a reg. the basis in pictures of victor is known by the nickname admiral. some of the monks specially ordered boats are ready to test on the water

their base in yet on foot. seven replicas of pommel boats a team to set out on an expedition retracing their schnorrers route only two of them nothing built so far. they have been tried out in both the white sea and into of europe's largest lakes and yoga and lot of alexei vala boy the job of took part in both trials. at the phone is a completely unique experience it's nothing like what you're used to back in town you don't need to take ten calls or write five hundred emails here you need to know how to set a sail in the nick of time or refloat your vessel if it runs aground what with all that completely changes your mindset and even helps you to find your purpose in life or for faith. the st nicholas has safely reached kishi island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of

the year the kishi regatta will take place. in the outer bangle enter up to the right side of. seven old men from the two katka are going to take part in the first occasion where . they're building a traditional church she cut back on a nearby island. these days they use only small car yards for hunting at sea but in your old days large coyotes like this one were used or to hunt for whales and walrus. this one here is the big guy of. maxime jr and six companions spent more than two days on their journey from to cold cuts a key they travelled by f. train and steamboats the team had brought with them one hundred fifty kilograms of

war skin which they were going to use to make a boat but they were in for a disappointment at the end of that journey probably they were over one fortunately each wanted in transit because we didn't stored properly. nevertheless the chook tree craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common war us with plastic. kayak was ready to use the day before the race. so we turn it around no we'll turn it around when we get to the water. key is an island the lake a nigga. here is a unique museum of would not the texture on the island. the collection includes dozens of structures some of them more than two hundred years old. one of

the buildings dates back almost five hundred years. all recent structures are found on the coast guard such as appear to visitors. but for the most part the island looks just like it did one hundred fifty years ago. outsiders can only come here either as tourists or as participants in the t.g. regatta which is held once a year. the participants in the bolton expedition being organized by a month it sisters insist on historical fund to city their sporting armor and learning how to wield mediæval weapons. but. a. wooden boat some sailing vessel standing side by side with three hundred year old

wooden churches strengthen the illusion of a journey to the times when timber was the principal building material here. that's another oh it's or additional right. and i could tell actual reasoning this is because the main constructions have been made without nails certain a brilliant person sought to make do without nails because they cost a lot of money. that are this is because such roofs for instance were part of the church's. barns but houses and the like everybody else who would. this is the source of the legend claiming that the keys e churches were built without a single nail in the in reality only the walls and roofs were made without using nails they were indispensable church terms nowadays children play with building blocks know only too well how the walls were built this technique makes restoration

much easier damaged parts of the transfiguration church i've been gradually replaced since two thousand. now the church is almost suspended. because of the restoration work on its foundations. this is to begin with we needed a good foundation of the lower part was taken away to be restored we put up a new stance and disassembled part of the church this is the lifting system of complete with lifting jacks to see it works just like this. with a wooden or this means that the building as such doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation. to form them and. one of the first bowring is in post communist russia is cycling briskly to make sure he reports from work on time. these hundreds the belizean both

leave the cheesy church for almost two decades there are only a few places in the world where the sound of bells can spread far and wide without echoing off of the surface and it is impossible to confuse the chime of kanji bells with any of. this everything here. is just as it was in the eighteenth and nineteenth century there's no noise of the kind you find in cities. today the bells sound as they did a hundred or two hundred years ago because they're not drowned out by noise. and the water also helps the tribes travel over long distances. shines depending on whether the religious secular holiday is being celebrated igor who saves the village is sometimes even danced to the sound bells. this is an

improvise ation on the theme of festive choice. i mean normally this stall is not intended for people marching in a religious procession. rather it's got to to the stroke of an old. pick up that. is only natural chime from the belfry signals the start of the t.g. regatta. thirty four discipline beating three arteries. additional wooden boats a modern sports person each category has a subgroup with the number of balls been ranging from one to six. after a brief deliberation the panel of judges decides to class the book cheat kayak as a traditional temple but. one joke. strong

very strong form. the races are expected to cover one nautical mile with each boat going at its own pace as a rule half an hour is enough for even the slowest but. even over that short distance accidents still happen the rudder of the cheek brakes. the rudders come loose. rule harder stroke one. stroke. stroke free. but neither the tiresome journey the ruined war risk in all the failure of the road to construct the choke races they take first place in that category with a record sixty minutes and forty seven seconds. stroke four stroke five stroke six stroke seven.
