salvó primero al firulais !!! : P

Great, honest video. Well done for showing how tricky it can be at the beginning!

those small storms are called squalls, the more you sail, eventually you can see them coming :) you either go back to shore, drop sail or fly in the squall, hoping you don't break anything :P

If Frank Zappa built a boat this is what it would sound like.

Nice job!I would like to suggest you raise the boom on the mast .Dint want to get domed by it and wind up in the water.

Cool videos. Im going to build some of these. How has yours held up and should i use epoxy or polyester resin for the bottom glass over marine plywood?

Nice

😂❤awesome video Mr Mudflap

Those early sorties were quite rough haha but you guys got smooth in the end!

Interesting video but your choice of soundtrack is silly at best and totally out of sync with the nature of your setting.

Oh that looks cold.

surprisingly silent 2 stroker, awesome

Fantastic video ! Thanks for making and posting it!

Would this be a good first boat build? I've been looking at many and this boat seems to fit what I am looking for.

The meranti and oukume ply, was it 5 ply or 3 ply?

The boat is cool but the soundtrack is frickin Awesome 😁

Absolutely beautiful boat. We both really enjoyed watching thanks for posting

Buck, that is...Mr. Flap, Nice boat & you are so LUCKY to have a spouse that shares this enthusiasm for small boat sailing & the absolute IDIOCY that it always entails. Tip 'O the cap to you both. Keep the upside up!

Very informative & low- key video. Really like your boom treatment, you still get a nice stiff straight boom from smaller dimensional lumber as I see it

It is beautiful. Thank you!

Oops. Going over the "wrong way" like that is the worst. The horrible moment when you know there's nothing you an do because she's past the point of no return, and that what follows is a long session of hard work righting the boat, climbing aboard, and baling. Baling a boat in conditions that were bad enough to cause a capsize can be a wobbly experience. Racing sailors with self draining cockpits don't know they're born!

Well, you certainly jumped in with both feet. Goat Island Skiffs are great boats, but they can be a handful even for experienced sailers, or so I'm told. You took her out and you survived, and now you are experienced sailers. Good for you. May you have fair winds and happy voyages.

Word! Thanks for the sweet ride

Awesome. Hope you do a full Monday morning about lessons learned video on this … but like spell it out for us noobs? Also what u decided to do to improve draining - in the water after a flip and once on shore, some special scuppers or valves maybe, for bilge remnants? I one day hope to build something similar but wonder if the design can take wider (5”) glassed-in seating flush with side rails and a glassed-in higher floor, at about water level, to make it self draining? I am sure I am missing something but that’s the thought…. Thank you.

It is fun to see you getting better and better!

Very nice!

Keep 'em coming! I'd like to see how it handles some small chop. Rumors of pounding are out there...

Where do the goats sit?

Great video

I´ve seen so many different way to rig a goat. square mast, round mast, hollow mast, solid mast, round boom and yard or sqare shaped.... why did you choose this combination of sqare mast, round yard and this kind of boom??? (don´t know the name of it)

Best rigging video for GIS!!! Thank you, man!

I appreciate anyone who posts an HONEST video about learning a new skill (ie we all suck at the beginning). So cool to see how much you guys improved by the end!

Well done 👍 Thank you for sharing valuable experience 🙂

At least you've got a bailing bucket thats big enough

Ese barco es para el mar? O solo para lagos y aguas tranquilas?

On my Goat I found that boxing the center thwart in with plywood and a couple plastic hatches added enough buoyancy at the sides so that she could be righted and sailed away without bailing. That simple change made me much more confident in her.

First sail - Your friend on the tiller was setting you up? And enjoying your boom ducking LOL - But you both picked it up quickly - A joy to watch - Thanks for sharing.

:) Loved it !!!!

I really admire your determination not to mention your bravery in teaching yourselves to sail. I can only imagine your terror as that skiff took off in some wild manner when you first caught a decent breeze.My father taught me to sail almost before I could walk, but it was racing our boats that taught me the most about sailing. I would highly recommend you join a racing club and crew for other members, it would really improve you both far more rapidly than you could ever manage on your own. I can assure you,that after just a few weeks you will be confident enough to race your own boat. Either way good luck and good sailing.

Woooo great.... After the sea directjy to the car and go to home... Thanks for share you system

Entertaining video style, but not an educational one...

Very good and fun video! Really enjoyed seeing your skills and confidence grow with experience. Have you found a place that's consistently nice to sail?

Great soundtrack! This vid was exactly what I was looking for, a quick overview of building a GIS. Thank you

I just saw your video for the first time. You guys really improved over the year! Two questions: 1. do you really use the Cunningham that much when sailing, or would a simple tie down from the boom to a cleat on the mast be enough? 2. You went thru a lot of different tiller extension joints - which was the best? Tx, Carl in SC

Very cool boat,and you certainly seem proficient Well done and thanks for the video.

Very enlightening!

Bizarre soundtrack, but secret popsicle stick redeems it.

Good vid. I'm using the GIS rig for my 'First Mod'. Helpful!

Full 100% admiration!. And what a wonderful boat.

How about a custom spot in the bow for doggie. He can't see out!
