Gostei muito do teu barco, vou tentar conseguir os planos para quem sabe fazer um também e velejar em águas meridionais do Brasil. Parabéns pela construção e pela aventura no lago de Como.
Alexandro, obrigado por assistir meus vídeos! Este barco Goat Island Skiff também foi construído no sul do Brasil. Há também um GIS famoso chamado Moijito no Uruguai. Você pode ver o "mapa do Goat Island Skiff" no Google aqui: www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?msa=0&mid=1s-CuWxaKuJM26eINkIPzNdZ9Aqo&ll=-3.81666561775622e-14%2C-102.07805470000005 1
Enrico! That was a great tip about slowing down the video! I didn't know we could do that. I soon realized that it also slows down the music, so I had to turn the sound off. Hahaha. Hey, this was a terrific video. I really enjoyed it. What a nice time you and your family must have had working on this project. Take care. Dustin Morrison. Southern California.
Hi Dustin, yes, that months of building have been a lot of fun for all my family. But what a mess in the house! :-D If you were interested, know there are some nice Goats (Goat Islans Skiffs) built and sailed in California too!
Hello Norway! Thank you, I really enjoyed my building. If you are going to build the same kind of boat, you will get a lot of support by joining the Facebook group named "Goat Islad Skiff". All builders are there and so the designer Michael Storer. There are also a couple of guys from Norway who have built it. Good luck with your building! Enrico
Hi sir, unfortunately I haven't counted my working hours. But I can say I have worked for 9 months: all the weekends (2 full days) plus 1-2 hours every day during the week (in the evening, after my work). Consider I have wasted a lot of hours in finding the right timber in the local shops. This was my first boatbuilding, so, having no experience (example, I didn't know how to use epoxy), I was very careful and very slow in my work. Consider the project is extremely well designed and explained. The structure of the hull is very simple. There is an open group of builders on facebook called "Goat Island Skiff" which is extremely helpful once you are registered: facebook.com/groups/GoatIslandSkiff/ Consider it. Good luck for the project!
Enrico Franconi excellent, thats great info. Thank you. I am the same as you were, dont really know anything about boat building, but I want to give it a try.
Well done, it’s a beautiful Boat! I will build one myself too, the building plans are already in my possession 😊 Did you buy your materials as a kit or acquire them from everywhere?
Hi Marcos, sorry I cannot do that. I am friend to the designer and, as all of us, he needs to get some money to live too! Anyway consider that I paid for the plans about 70€ (=100 australian$) and the cost of my GIS at the end (after 10 months building) was about 3000€ (it includes: plans, plywood, solid wood, epoxy, sail, ropes and some gear, all bought in Italy). So the plans are about 2,3 % of the total cost.
Hi Chuck, you are right! But my intention was to create something not too boring.. If you need to slow down for better understanding you can clic on the bottom-right of the video and select 0.5 speed or even 0,25. It works well!
Felicitaciones Enrico !!! qué orgullo haber construido su propio velero!!! Saludos desde Corrientes , Argentina.
Thank you for making this video. I love seeing the build process. Congratulations on your beautiful boat!
thank you Sean. The boat is easy to build and she sails very well. You can find the project on Michael Storer website.

Hello.
Very nice build. I am starting my build this winter so nice to see all the great pictures from you project.
Best regards

Fantastic job Enrico ! 👍⭐
Thanks Syncro16se.
A couple of these boats (Goat Island Skiff) has been built in Sweden too.
Sweet Enrico! Thanks for posting! Lovely family btw.
Hi Thomas. Thanks for the visit!
Hey Enrico! Non avevo mai visto questo video, complimenti. Strano che TH-cam non lo avesse segnalato.
Chissà che emozione al momento del varo. Complimenti per l'ottimo lavoro.
Grazie Roberto, si, una bellissima esperienza.
Very Pretty!
well done & nice boat! The main thing is to see it through to completion...right?
That's right. 10 months of building compressed in few minutes!
Danke Captain!
Parabens , belo barco 👏👏👏👏
Muito obrigado Luiz Carlos!
Bravo bravissimo
Thanks Nic. This building was a pure adventure for me!
Mein Kompliment, bravo :-)
这条船太棒了！

Enrico, do you know how many hours it took to build your Goat Island Skiff. I am thinking about building one.

I will build one myself too, the building plans are already in my possession 😊
Did you buy your materials as a kit or acquire them from everywhere?
Hi Helifan1, no kit but raw materials bought mainly at DIY stores. She's a great little boat. You will be satisfied! Thanks for the visit.
Thank you Enrico. In the meantime I’ll enjoy your inspiring videos!
Hi, would you like to share the boat's plans? I am from Brazil and the
values that they charge are unfeasible for us. thank you very much.

Nice build but the slides are a zillion mph. Much better if they were slowed long enough to see some detail.
