DIY Mods to Improve an Already Awesome Sailboat Design! Part1

- During the First season I sailed the OZ Goose and Realized I could make a few mods to improve my sailing experience...or I like to think so.
So I brought the Goose to the workshop and started the mods, like, opening the second mast position to correct the lee helm I experienced las season, fitting a drain plug on the transom, extending the deck coaming to prevent water from running to the cockpit, make a cover for the first mast position until I see which one I'll keep open, and will replace the cam cleats, fit a tiller tamer and fix/reinforce the mast...and more to come!

It never ends.
Boat jobs multiply like cells.
But I like it.
Thanks Teo.

Looking good its surprising how well that boat handles
The ideas youre sharing are amazing! Were also working on a huge refit of our 65 catamaran, and its so motivating to see others tackling similar projects. Keep up the great work!
Your precise carpentry skills and passion for the best sailing experience is inspiring Theo. best wishes to you and Marina for when you get the boat back on the water.
Thank you very much!
Bonjour Théo. Voila une vidéo vraiment intéressante. En effet c'est en navigant que l'on se rends compte des qualités et des défauts d'un bateau. Toutes ces modifications peuvent paraitre sans grande importance mais au printemps lorsque vous remettrez le bateau à l'eau vous pourrez juger du bien fondé de ces modifications. Bon bricolage. Au plaisir de vous retrouver sur l'eau. Amitiés. Olivier.
Thanks Olivier!
I can't wait for the warm weather so we can start sailing the Goose a bit more often!
I like the idea of moving the traveler back. It does catch on the sheet at times and has created some exciting maneuvers. This is the highest likelihood of a capsize I think sailing the goose. I am anxious to see how it works for you!
🤞🤞
Feliz 2025 e obrigado pelo novo video. Tenho uma inveja enorme dessa sua garage, quanta luz! quanti espaço (mesmo se vc nao acha)! You com saudades do mar, aqui esta tudo congelado...
Aqui gêlo não é comum mas chuva e frio não é agradavel para velejar 😅
I look forward to see more of your channel as the spring approaches. How is your larger boat?
Hi Joe!
Funny you ask, I just published an update on the K30 on the cruiser's channel, take a look. 😉

@@TheBoatRambler Thanks I will.
Great work! Have you got a link to your other channel? I missed your video there yesterday.
Hi Ben! have a look here www.youtube.com/@SVsearambler/videos
@@TheBoatRambler Cheers. You should link it in your video description.
Teo, I leathered the mast and the yard on my standing lug rig to protect the varnish and the wood. Can't attach pics here on TH-cam, so I commented to your post on Facebook Duckworks group with the pictures.
Hi Brian, thanks for the feedback!
I wrapped the yard and the boom but I guess I need to protect the mast too.
@@TheBoatRambler I have to keep an eye on where things rub together. I started off using gaffer's tape wrapped around the spars to get the general position, but it's not a great solution, because it's not super abrasion resistant, and not water resistant at all. At the end of the boom, there's a lot of movement, as the downhaul acts as the gooseneck for the standing lug. If I need to move the leather on the mast, I can cut the stitching and re-sew, I guess. I think if I had a balanced lug, and a bleater to hold the boom in position fore/aft, I would have just leathered the boom similarly to how I did the yard, and I don't think I would need leather on the mast.
