Rigging a Goat Island Skiff

Decided to throw together a quick little video showing how quick and easy it is to set up a GIS for sailing. Plus, some bonus storm footage from that day as well. It got a little scary there for a bit.

those small storms are called squalls, the more you sail, eventually you can see them coming :) you either go back to shore, drop sail or fly in the squall, hoping you don't break anything :P

Best rigging video for GIS!!! Thank you, man!

[@FlatlandMando]

Very informative & low- key video. Really like your boom treatment, you still get a nice stiff straight boom from smaller dimensional lumber as I see it

Good vid. I'm using the GIS rig for my 'First Mod'. Helpful!

Cool videos. Im going to build some of these. How has yours held up and should i use epoxy or polyester resin for the bottom glass over marine plywood?

I´ve seen so many different way to rig a goat. square mast, round mast, hollow mast, solid mast, round boom and yard or sqare shaped.... why did you choose this combination of sqare mast, round yard and this kind of boom??? (don´t know the name of it)

The hollow box mast is sturdy, light, and simple to make. I originally had the simple round yard and boom from the plans, but switched to a pine/cedar boom for more stiffness (maybe).
