Detailing the construction and adventures of Goliath, a Enigma 3.6 Micro cruiser.
The Enigma is a Sharpie designed by Matt Layden and built out of plywood.
It is ballasted, with a reefable balanced lugsail and used chine runners instead if a keel or centreboard.
Goliath, my Enigma has an automatic bilge pump, regulation lighting and a compass.
We run charting from a mobile phone.
Unfortunately there are no plans for the Enigma and Goliath was reverse engineered by scaling from photos, contacting other builders. There are plans available for Enigma' s big sister, The Paradox

Dave and Goliath, Episode 1, Cruising the Southern Bay Islands, Gold Coast, Australia
On this trip we sail North to an anchorage called the Bedrooms on South Stradbroke Island. We spend a night there and then travel to Jacobs Well and then South for a night at Marine Stadium before heading home.

nide some ide , abouth boat , rig , mast , seil ??
dave , wee woch in contakt to its other some year ago , is ther anny posible to get in contakt with you now tooday ,? best from Trygve
Better off with a paradox
Beautiful work.
Finely made boat! Loved the many distinguishing details.
Can you tell me where you obtained the plans from? I've been looking for a source for any of Matt Layden's build plans but haven't found one yet. Thanks.
beautiful, can i purchase plane or do I have to wing it?
YES. This is such a cool project! Did you go off the rails at all from the plans and make it custom?
This is such a MIGHTY boat! We love it! Please post more sailing adventures!
This Goliath its so cool wow.
Best invention in this century: Epoxy as glue for fillets and a happy combination with fiberglass. Knowing that wings of an airplane nowadays are constructed with a 3 components epoxy and heated in ovens. Not a single nail needed. The recipe? They try to keep it secret. Fanny thing to realize that you can repair polyester with epoxy . Repairing epoxy with polyester gives trouble.
Like your Eastcoast accent. Like your boat aswell. Regards from a Dutch watersporter. Have been in Brisbane and Straddy. What a country …….
Nice boat, I didn't see any shrouds or forstay or backstay. Is the mast stable? Is it considered a gaff rigged cat boat? It s a really nice build, I guess you ha a sleeping bag.
Why build the Enigma rather than the Paradox?
I watched this again---the impact is still sublime!
Good morning, I'm Rodrigö, I live in Brazil on the beach, would you be able to donate me the plans to build my house, my dream of freedom, thank you
Great video, love the boat. If you ever want to sell it I'm your first call :)
I’ve been wanting to do something like this to a 17foot canoe using lightweight plastics and an outrigger, good idea or bad idea?
How many gallons (or liters) of resin you use in all that boat?
Beautiful microcruiser!
Rivieras are shite
How bizarre...no keel or centerboard to speak of. How does it go upwind?
Hey fella, beautiful boat! I don't suppose I could trouble you to... ..make some more videos? Sail more? Pls?
Very nice Paradox build. I am starting mine very soon with goal to be completed by June 24’ Your deck shows outstanding craftsmanship and i would like to duplicate it. What did you do to create the Holly Teak look? Thanks
Nicely done! I love Matt Layden’s designs, and your execution of the design looks great! ❤
is this for sale?
People here are telling that plans do not exist for Enigma 3.6 - and yet I see you building one! So I'm kindly asking: would it be possible to get access to plans through you?
Is that a Yuloh sculling oar? Use it much? How effective? Nice ukulele music. Thank you. ..just read prev comment.
Dave this is a great build. I just love Micro-cruising. I was the last (mass) builder of the West Wight Potter in the UK.(dare I say now too big for my kind of Micro-Cruising;-) I most def want to build an Enigma and am happy to work it all out from scratch if only I could find some lines? Can you help me there please? Can use CAD files. Thanks in anticipation. Larry
Love our small boat adventures. Thanks for sharing.
i measure my food supply in coffee :)
Good on you for getting out there.
Where did you get the plans?
Great video, great boat. Looking forward to you making many more videos for us 👍.
Dave, how is the windward performance with the chine runners. Can you get a decent pointing angle to help you go where you want to go?
Yes. It's points about 45 degrees. Nothing special. You need to be heeling well over for them to dig in in light air.
@@daveandgoliath.7917 OK thanks! I was thinking of building something like the Paradox but was concerned about rough water performance out on Moreton Bay and light air performance.
@@jasonstork9606 I am pretty sure a Paradox would handle Morton Bay ok. It is reportedly a very newsworthy boat
Great Video. Pls make more :)
Really great job! Thx for sharing! :)
What a great video production thanks for sharing it with us. Its good to see new ideas being tried out and succeeding. What's the beam dimention. All the best.
Are plans available?
Are plans available?
what a beautiful boat! is it possible/viable have a yuloh on her?
Yes I did have a yuloh. Unfortunately I broke it at pivot point. I might repair it but am unsure. I am using a stand up paddle board paddle at the moment with success. Ps. I had troubles using the Yuloh. Just couldn't get the knack
Beautifully built craft. Thanks for the awesome footage and lovely music. it was memsmerizing.
Dave you have a facebook page?have an idi lice to chear,,
Where may I procure plans for this boat? Tommy
love it mate! More please...lol!
Beautiful work. 👍
Wow! Great job!
First off thanks for taking me with you. 🙂 and thanks for skipping the build . I'm glad your already micro cruising. That's a beautiful area to sail . Thanks for the power boat action. Get used to it because it won't stop . And sometimes you just have to leave a man behind. RIP to the hat 👒
Great little mini!! Love the simplicity.. Only change I would have made personally, would be to use a mast aft rig. No mast in the middle of the cabin and the sail could be set from the cabin with remote leads.
I would have loved to get the mast out of the cabin. Maybe should have made it a cat boat rig
Your design and construction is beautiful. May I ask whether the chine runners were bolted or screwed on backing plates solidly to the hull besides being glued?
They are glued with epoxy. And wrapped in several layers of fiberglass. Now I have permanently fixed the ballast to the inside,they have screws too. A great remake would be to cast the China Runners in lead
@@daveandgoliath.7917 Thank you. Lead would add ballast definitely and I think in that sense is good but would require a bolt-on attachment to the hull though.
