Always love your posts, my wife and I had to retire from sailing a few years ago. We realized we were no longer able to handle our 33' sailboat at hard dockings. We're hoping there will be a celebration regatta of sorts where all of the fourteen's sail! We'll love to come over from Monroe,WA to watch everyone enjoy their success. We love your wife's videos as we were both teachers for a lifetime. It would be fun to meet everyone - we're still sailors at heart! Ken and Jeanne Wilson
A beautifully designed and probably also very practical boat. A good choice and a very interesting design. Impressive teamwork... they came as strangers and leave as friends... they have fun together and also work together. The world can function that simply. Thanks for the episode...... and a special thanks to the video production and the great music selection. Greetings from the Baltic Sea coast.
A boat builder can never have enough clamps of all different types! I wish that I had had as many hands available when building my Swift Solo. This video is a great story about teamwork.
Looking at the hull shape I reckon that with a centreline dagger/centreboard and a high aspect ratio rig that dinghy would make a lively little sailing dinghy. Giving away my roots there.
@@MichaelMurer Hi Mike! I think the clamp on an angle uses more of the clamps surface and spreads out its effective load over a larger distance. ( squeezes out more resin too!)
Coming together nicely. Has any particular build number looked better than the others yet? I'm guessing they must all be pretty much the same standard as everyone is involved in each build process. Well done for keeping so calm, I would have to wrestle with my inner control freak not to start micro managing the one that was destined for me! Good job guys another great video. God bless ❤
Towards the end I thought, I was watching a outtro song to a moto vlogger baker x derek on TH-cam. Then I look again it's just project Duracell. Which I enjoy watching both channels, loving the boating channels and motorcycle blogging channels.
Thanks for another great episode. I found you from your interview with the “On The Wind” podcast. I got hooked by a couple of episodes and went back to the beginning. I’m caught up and looking forward to the journey continuing. I just joined as a Patreon today 😀. One of my favorite parts is that as the punster in my family I love seeing the tables turned with your prodigious puns Janneke😁
Given half a chance Matt would have vacuum bagged the hell out of that lot - was expecting to see him in the corner knocking up an autoclave out of scrap & off-cuts!
This kind of production line can be a lot of fun, especially if the crew is good to work with, which seems to be the case. One fascinating aspect of production lines is the fact that, once there is a rhythm going, people tend to get into a meditative state, since, one of the means for meditation is to do repetitious, systematic moves, like the Buddhists who do countless repetitive prostrations, or turn prayer wheels over and over. Which means, Charlie Chaplin was totally wrong with "Modern Times", and Goddess is kind and great with people who are forced to do repetitive work for a living.
Back in 1997, my girlfreind followed. me to seattle looking for Skippers work on anything up to.36,000 dwt. I was only offered low pay positions processing and flash freezing product. I figured iut that since i had never unionized nor did i plan too. I took a short term gig driving a wooden passenger ferry from Port Orchard to yhe Naval Storage Facility. I learned that the folks at Port Washinton,Port Townsend . Port Angeles and Port Orchard, we fell on love eith the people and the geography there. Wish i could take one big last trip to PNW take time to visit the center.
This series looks like an excellent way for you guys to get a bit ahead of the channel, assuming this took 3 weeks and the videos go over 6 weeks :) Sounds like healthy planning and the build is enjoyable. Well done guys
@@TheDuracellProject absolutely take ABUNDANT time off when the baby arrives, rely on patreon if you can, reduce your video schedule.. I don't wanna say having a baby is harder than it seems.. But yeah it's harder than it seems. :) But most importantly, people are gonna judge a new mom in ways you don't expect. People will argue they know what's best and you'll be pulled in a million directions: how you feed him, how he sleeps, how you carry him, how you dress him.. Everything! And with all the hormones and changes and doubts things that would otherwise be brushed off can stick; feeling judged is awful. Do what you feel best! Don't let people pull you down :)
20:05 - This one is just for the ladies. Matt showing off his sensual skills ;) No seriously, I really love the channel that your wife and you have put together. I've been following it since the start. Love seeing your family (your Mum is amazing) and friends help out, because it's a massive task. I did wonder if you bit off more than you could chew. But you are relentless! Even when you have some "boring tasks" you power through. Hats off to you - it's absolutely brilliant to show mistakes. Hopefully it helps others to avoid them. Also great that you listen to input from your fans comments (e.g. head/bathroom design). Then change what you originally planned. I did watch an episode about what you should call your updated Duracell... names pulled out of the hat... maybe I missed an episode !? What was the decision? "Duracell Revival"? Like Parlay Revival? Please let me know what you decided... and am really looking forward to seeing you guys and your baby, finally get sailing! Although Colin from Parlay Revival said that his viewers were more interested in seeing him repair his broken bulkheads :))) BTW: I think Duracell should still somehow appear in the name.
1,755th view about to happen... another "Sticky Goop" episode... YAY. Introducing "Dr. Adhesive, PhD" (couldn't think of clever degree letters for Stickyologist.) I think "MixMaster" is already a patented and trademarked thing for a kitchen appliance. 193rd LIKE post at the end.
Matt. It is awesome to see boat Builders come together and build these boats. So Matt are there different size boats being built? How is Mom & Dad Doing these Days?
Matt Great Video as always. Pity they don't ship or have an agent in OZ. Looks interesting and fun to build. I wonder if the transom will take a small outboard as we live on a salt water lake.
Great job - I'm really enjoying this little diversion from the main build. Is the inspector getting final sign-off on these? Also, I heard there was a nasty incident at lunch break when confusion arose between the wood-flour thickened epoxy, and Matts peanut butter sandwiches...
Simply beautiful boats! Frankly, I'm surprized that I don't see any respirators, and even few dustmasks in use. Granted, this is a large building, but I haven't seen any fans in operation either. Sorry, but this can't be good, you guys.
Laminating epoxy doesn't have solvents like polyester resin. It's perfectly safe to use it when laminating without a mask. SANDING it is a different story and you should wear a mask.
yeah, Joel is good at reminding people to wear masks when necessary, but ultimately it's each person's decision. Matt and I always wear a mask when necessary, especially now.
I mentioned La Paz litter box in a comment for a previous video. Unless you don't mind the litter, cat food, and water dish all being dumped all over your sole when the boat heels over, plan on gimbaling all of those.
Great project but I'm thinking in terms of Duracell, how will this dingy fit onto Duracell, how will it be moved in and out of the water? It looks like quite a big dingy. Anyhow this is a wonderful series of videos, nice job all round. Sending good energy ........Neil ☘☘😊😊
Hey Neil, there's room on the foredeck for the dinghy and we'll use a halyard to hoist it on and off. We did this on our last sailboat with our rowing/sailing dinghy and it worked well.
Sorry if you've already covered it. I don't recall. I'm puzzled by your choice of tender. It seems kinda flimsy. I wonder if when it's glassed it'll be very very strong. I think it must be very light which is a good thing but I wonder about it's integrity. Perhaps it's because Acorn to Arabella's tender was made with such intense care, professionalism and craftmanship. These tenders appear to be literally 'thrown' together in a few days with cookie cutter pieces, shoelaces and glue.
I see lots of smearing with wooden sticks.... on the way home tonight swing past a dollar store and look for silicone brushes for basting food... nothing sticks to it basically... just let it dry and pull whatever you applied right off...
Pump hah. Eyeball is my world and in Chicago I'm captain over harden!! Actually many years ago had a conversation with the one of the Guegon(?) brothers about decrease in strength. Not perfect but need to know limit.
Hello, I'm from Brazil, I received the opportunity to view this channel by email, thank you very much. I am enchanted by every boat construction, I am passionate. In Brazil I don't know if I can find a kit
Why don't you guys use resoranal, ( I most likely spelling it wrong) , but it's a two part wood glue. Louis from tips of a shipwright uses. Louis work worked for my grandfather and my step-dad. Look up building ORCA
It would have been nice if someone mentioned how the assembly process is accomplished at home -- the average person does not have a vacuum table. What is the process when you don't have that access to a vacuum table?
wow it's really coming along nicely together. How long do you estimate it would take you to build one by yourself? Just so I can multiply that by 300 and know how long it'd take me :)

We have had a few folks ask us where they can buy the Scout 14 kit. You can buy it here: duckworks.com/scout-14-complete-package/?showHidden=true
The Dura Dingy
The “barista of resinista”! Best line, love it!
So interesting. I knew you could not go an episode w/o vacuum bagging something. :-)
A pro job fiiming, editing, and production. Nice music choices.
_D'ACORD!_
I was just thinking the filming was really good in this one. Well done Janni!
Great promo for the Boat Center!
You two crack me up. I love it when you catch Matt off guard 😂

I like the foam gunnels. They are always hard to bend and twist with plain wood.

Impressive teamwork... they came as strangers and leave as friends... they have fun together and also work together. The world can function that simply.

Amazing build, Thank you. love it
Beautifully filmed and edited, thank you.
Always use a notch spreader with thickened epoxy.. makes a uniform amount
The "Barista of Resinista"... haha... Very good, John.!!!
I like the look of the prams hanging up on the wall. Also - nice "cable cam" work. And also, also - no cat.
What an enjoyable episode. Your video graphic skills are very good. The music was perfect for the boat building.
My 4 and 5 year old girls now want to build a boat, and they want Matt to help them🐥😜
That sounds super fun.
It is nice to see so many people working together.
Gorgeous design by Turnpoint, looking forward to seeing videos of these on the water.
I don’t have a sailing boat but love this channel. The building of these small boats is amazing. Well done to the whole team 👍👍
Great idea with the 45 degree clamp position!
I didn’t understand how that works. Could you explain?
@@MichaelMurer Hi Mike! I think the clamp on an angle uses more of the clamps surface and spreads out its effective load over a larger distance. ( squeezes out more resin too!)
Nice, looks like a fiddly job.
I keep following and viewing past videos. Fascinating and most enjoyable. Great camera work and music. Thank you. Phil🇬🇧
Wonderful to see the next stages, teamwork clearly makes the dream work!
Coming along nicely. Looking forward to them hitting the water. Stay safe guys….
If your not sure whats next. Always remember, the most important tool in the boat shop is the thinking chair..
Coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing the final result. Thanks for the video 👍👍💰😁
love the videos. lots of folks not wearing PPE. Insane to me that anyone would choose to sand epoxy and fiberglass without a respirator.
everyone was strongly advised to, but in the end it's everyone's choice
Coming together nicely. Has any particular build number looked better than the others yet? I'm guessing they must all be pretty much the same standard as everyone is involved in each build process. Well done for keeping so calm, I would have to wrestle with my inner control freak not to start micro managing the one that was destined for me! Good job guys another great video. God bless ❤

I'm only here for the jams bro. Me and the dog dig your work.
İ could have watched you guys all week. Great work and the boats look amazing.
Thanks for another great episode. I found you from your interview with the “On The Wind” podcast. I got hooked by a couple of episodes and went back to the beginning. I’m caught up and looking forward to the journey continuing. I just joined as a Patreon today 😀.
One of my favorite parts is that as the punster in my family I love seeing the tables turned with your prodigious puns Janneke😁
Thank yo so much Seena! We will be in touch shortly
Dinghy build time, I hope the inspector ran an eye over the paperwork and approved the plans. great video 2x👍
she has a lot of boats to inspect at the end of the class!
You can see Matt’s experience and economy of motion working with the epoxy.
Given half a chance Matt would have vacuum bagged the hell out of that lot - was expecting to see him in the corner knocking up an autoclave out of scrap & off-cuts!

It was amusing to see a rather pregnant looking Janne popping in and out of the some of the time lapse sequences!

Great episode! Keep rolling along Duracell Team! 👍👍
I know Ginnie Jo! I was amazed by the work she did on her tri.
These past two weeks have made me want to come up to Port T and build a boat.
-bb
small world! You can take a class at the maritime center :)
Beautifully filmed!
This series looks like an excellent way for you guys to get a bit ahead of the channel, assuming this took 3 weeks and the videos go over 6 weeks :)
Sounds like healthy planning and the build is enjoyable. Well done guys
We are trying to get a week or two ahead before baby arrives, but it’s hard! This dinghy takes more like 3 weeks to build
@@TheDuracellProject absolutely take ABUNDANT time off when the baby arrives, rely on patreon if you can, reduce your video schedule.. I don't wanna say having a baby is harder than it seems.. But yeah it's harder than it seems. :)

Don't let people pull you down :)
Esprit de corps .. well said ❤
This is such a fun project.
Cool stuff. Thx.
We have always called thickened epoxy with wood or fiberglass powder as peanut butter.
Yay! Safety crocs.
20:05 - This one is just for the ladies. Matt showing off his sensual skills ;)

Hi Jon, We have not decided on a name yet. All the names introduced are still in the running. thanks for following along!
Wow, a very pro job by all..great stuff
That dingy looks that it would be pretty fast
Damn, Ginny has got one great sled! Those Farrier boats are sweet.
you are so close to 100k yet so far....cmon peeps subscribe, this channell deserves to be 100k plus
The deck construction was a surprise. I wonder what the weight penalty is to do that in plywood & epoxy.
1,755th view about to happen... another "Sticky Goop" episode... YAY. Introducing "Dr. Adhesive, PhD" (couldn't think of clever degree letters for Stickyologist.)

Bra jobbat!! Fina båtar,and fine video by da wife....allda bestet från svenske mikke,nu på grekiska ön karpathos...🇬🇷😀🦋
Matt. It is awesome to see boat Builders come together and build these boats. So Matt are there different size boats being built? How is Mom & Dad Doing these Days?
There is one Scout 10 and the rest are Scout 14s.
Really cool video series!
Great cute progress💖💖💖🇦🇺
Toothpaste and peanut butter sandwiches. Yum.
Oh man. I had no idea the BGM had started and I thought you all were epoxying together in time with a back beat.
Matt Great Video as always. Pity they don't ship or have an agent in OZ. Looks interesting and fun to build. I wonder if the transom will take a small outboard as we live on a salt water lake.
Nice project
Great job - I'm really enjoying this little diversion from the main build. Is the inspector getting final sign-off on these?
Also, I heard there was a nasty incident at lunch break when confusion arose between the wood-flour thickened epoxy, and Matts peanut butter sandwiches...
😂 it does really look like peanut butter! The inspector will of course be doing the final inspection of all six boats.
Great video
Simply beautiful boats! Frankly, I'm surprized that I don't see any respirators, and even few dustmasks in use. Granted, this is a large building, but I haven't seen any fans in operation either. Sorry, but this can't be good, you guys.

the inspector deserves the best
I think what’s really going on here is Matt is auditioning all these guys to work as his assistants on Duracell
Good idea but truth is youth isn’t on their side
Question. Is the Sailboat Duracell D and the Dingy Duracell AAA?
Great idea for the dingy name.
#novacuum 😂
Great project but I'm thinking in terms of Duracell, how will this dingy fit onto Duracell, how will it be moved in and out of the water? It looks like quite a big dingy. Anyhow this is a wonderful series of videos, nice job all round. Sending good energy ........Neil ☘☘😊😊
Hey Neil, there's room on the foredeck for the dinghy and we'll use a halyard to hoist it on and off. We did this on our last sailboat with our rowing/sailing dinghy and it worked well.
I want to build one of these!
So much fun, as always. This really makes me want to build a Scout.
I’m curious, what was untrustworthy and why couldn’t it be trusted?
The epoxy
Oh, 'p.s.' I'm learning a lot but try n explain transom n bulk heads. thx for everything 🎉
Another great episode! What an awesome workshop this is. Anyone knows of opportunities like this somewhere in Europe? I'd love to attend one.
Sorry if you've already covered it. I don't recall. I'm puzzled by your choice of tender. It seems kinda flimsy. I wonder if when it's glassed it'll be very very strong. I think it must be very light which is a good thing but I wonder about it's integrity.
Perhaps it's because Acorn to Arabella's tender was made with such intense care, professionalism and craftmanship. These tenders appear to be literally 'thrown' together in a few days with cookie cutter pieces, shoelaces and glue.
Lots of people are asking this so we’ll answer in next weeks vid
better let the inspector have a look
This Is sooo cool 🫶🛶⛵😉👌👍
Nussschale🎉😂😂😂
Is everyone eyeing up the nicest boat or do you draw lots as who gets what at the end?
I see lots of smearing with wooden sticks.... on the way home tonight swing past a dollar store and look for silicone brushes for basting food... nothing sticks to it basically... just let it dry and pull whatever you applied right off...
The coolest! Thanks for this series!
Yay the dingalingy lol
Nice work with what I can only guess is a drone. Is that a new tool for the series?
We borrowed one from one of the guys in the class
Pump hah. Eyeball is my world and in Chicago I'm captain over harden!! Actually many years ago had a conversation with the one of the Guegon(?) brothers about decrease in strength. Not perfect but need to know limit.
Cool
Hello, I'm from Brazil, I received the opportunity to view this channel by email, thank you very much. I am enchanted by every boat construction, I am passionate. In Brazil I don't know if I can find a kit

Look up tips from a shipwright
2:09 - Because there is no wood on Duracell. That is my guess.
That's the first thing that popped into my head, "Duracell isn't a wooden boat".
It would have been nice if someone mentioned how the assembly process is accomplished at home -- the average person does not have a vacuum table. What is the process when you don't have that access to a vacuum table?
Did you have time to say hello to Leo.
We see him around, but he isn’t at the maritime center now (they built tallyho’s mast at the shop last year)
Have you had any inspections on this dinghy yet? You need to be sure it is apurrroved.
She will be doing a final inspection on all 6 boats.
Nice, but, how much for they camp?
Matt
Nice job, looks like you’re enjoying yourself. Does that dingy come in a nesting version?
No
did I miss the part where the tied together parts are removed? they build in?
They do pull the zip ties out but it was a pretty quick part of the episode
Looks like Reese’s fake peanut butter
Wonderful to watch, but gunwale, not gunnel (!).
@TheDuracellProject
What are you naming the dinghy? MSN?
don't know yet!
wow it's really coming along nicely together. How long do you estimate it would take you to build one by yourself? Just so I can multiply that by 300 and know how long it'd take me :)
🤣3 weeks
