Muito Obrigado - for the local materials lists- super help for me to get underway with my build . Such good youtube videos you post ! - I am a big fan - great work keep it up.
FANTASTIC!! Way to go brother...glad to see you are undertaking another build. Its been awhile since the last one. The weather is still a bit cold over here in the Carolina's (US) for a few more weeks so a boat build series is a great way for me to pass the time till I can get out on the waters for the season....Thank You!!
Looking outside the window up here in the north, it has been banging -20C for a week now. The definition of cold winter goes a long way. One could only wish to build anything in a regular shed here until May. Nobody has made any thickener for our temps yet :D
Hi Michel, That would add more weight. They build their Geese in the Pilippinnes with 5mm plywood and just glass on the outside. This is also sugested by Michael Storer so I'll give it a try. 😉
Mucho gusto Teo de poder ayudarte en el proyecto! También tenemos gran selección de tableros alistonados la que va ampliar aun mas partir de febrero, tableros alistonado especiales para surf y laminas para surf y por supuesto listones alistonados y nuestro propio aserradero para cubrir cualquier demanda para vuestros proyectos.🛶🏄
those Micro Balloons pay for themselves, in Unused Epoxy ... something to look into, if your supply of epoxy is figured tight to the task.@@TheBoatRambler
now the united states troupes are being sent to a war in Yemen... wars happen for the same reason any president we elect suddenly becomes incompetent, and that there has never been any rational person in control of american cattle feed exports to subsahara, to the point now that we are running out of topsoil and fossil water resources.@@TheBoatRambler
If you paste fiberglass on one side, the stiffness will not increase. Such plywood will play underfoot, but it will work. It may be worth gluing the central part from the inside. I did not use wood flour or sawdust, I do not like how they mix and fit, I additionally laid a narrow dense unidirectional tape in the joint. Where it is necessary to strengthen, I use ready-made cut fiberglass and resin with aerosil.
Hi Dmitri, Fiberglass on its own will have some stiffness, adding it to the plywood will always add something, even if a small amount. The plans call for stiffeners on the inside between the first bulkhead and the centercase. In addition I will add skids on the outside 2/3 of the length to help protect when beaching on oyster shell banks. I have never used sawdust as thickener but I will give it a go on a plywood offcut first and see how it feels.
Hi Teo, using Paulownia on my Goat, I don’t think I’d use it for spars. There wouldn’t be enough rigidity or structural strength in my opinion be asking for trouble. Cheers
Hi Brendan! That's a good point too! I will keep that in mind as sawdust weighs twice as much as the Microfibers or the wood flour. will check the difference after mixing. 👍
The bottom is too thin - if the boat is not for sports records, it is better to make the bottom 9 mm... I was surprised that you have such expensive building materials.... In Russia the cost of epoxy resin and plywood is three times lower....
Hi. I would prefer 6mm but there are literally hundreds of OZ Goose built with 5mm plywood+70g glassed bottom. )mm is waaaaayy overkill for a 12ft dinghy. Even my 16ft GIS is made of 6mm and after 4 years sailing in all sorts of weather condition it's still going strong. 😉

Glad to help Jack! 😉
for epoxy glass and thickeners you can try Santos e Elvas, that's where I buy most stuff.
I love the idea of testing different mixtures, I would definitely watch that! Thank you for the wonderful videos!
I will try to get some time to do that!
Looking foreward to seeing it.

Hi!
It's not that cold here but I will have to get a heater going in the workshop for a couple of hours to get that resin flowing and curing! 😅
Hey Teo, laminate the bottom both sides with 5 or 6oz glas and have a very stiff bottom. Laminate this before biulding.
Hi Michel,
That would add more weight. They build their Geese in the Pilippinnes with 5mm plywood and just glass on the outside. This is also sugested by Michael Storer so I'll give it a try. 😉

if you plan on glassing over your filets, then Micro Balloons, are also a good thickener ... the transfer skin compressive loads just fine.
Thanks for your Feedback Eric!

Thanks
Thank you Jack! 😉
Looking forward to the bill. I would like to see see running total bills too.
Hi Ben!
I will keep a record of the costs week by week. 😉
@@TheBoatRambler Many thanks.

Happy New Year and succesful boatbuilding ! What will you do with two boats then ? Considering to sell the Skiff ? Saludos !
Not sure yet, but if it's a possibility that I will end up with only one of the skiffs...and the cruiser! 😅
Pawlonia for spars didn't found any info, for other boat elements, paddles, boards, kayaks, yes, it's used.
Thanks for the feedback! 😉

Hi Ken! Thanks for your feedback! 😉
❤❤❤
I would have thought the weight of the test fillets would be pretty important given the other lengths you have gone to

I contacted the paulownia seller twice, once through their website and once through their email, not a single response.
Hi, contact them via WhatsApp, number is on their site. Usually got a reply on same day.
