Some warships actually did. They didn't have enough displacement and ended up not seaworthy. though I really don't think this little thing will have that issue :D
Fascinating, being a landlocked old guy it’s really interesting to watch you build this. And I agree with other comments about it never hurts to overbuild, it’s much better to be safe than sorry.
Ruth, I know you're a really terrific help to your hubby and can guess how much he appreciates it. Garrett, it's great to sit here and watch a detailed description of the work being done by a perfectionist such as yourself, a man with the patience to be so. Congrats on a great job to you both.
Having built several of these "stich" boats over the years, I have to say you are doing a great job. As a previous reviewer said, imbed a piece of aluminum plate in your transom. It will extend the life of your motor mount area. BTW another layer never hurts...heh heh. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Vote for overlap. Knee all four corners of the outboard plate to the first or even second frame. At some point you'll want to get a torque machine to get out of a tide or a against a surf. Then you'll need all the strength in the transom you can get without a heavy metal sub frame.
🇨🇦 can’t believe you put the boat on top of the pool table, again with that table! Ok , the little guy looks fabulous , it’s coming along nicely. See your thinking of Redeva in Mexico again, sounds like it won’t be too long Your spirits are high & Happy, 🇨🇦 Cdn. Dave
Thats the right call with the extra glass ...the amount of stick a tender gets with say stoney beaches on little islands ... after a nice BBQ on a tropical beach ..you do not want a should have would have could have moment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ps love your channel from a English man restoreing a little Chateau in France !!
I did enjoy that! Apart from learning lots more, the well-chosen music smoothed me down after a busy 'Choresday' of carting water for the tank, checking the trusty Lister and also the route ahead. I switch on TH-cam and you guys come up first on my suggestions! 🙂
Good evening. Haven't missed a TH-cam yet. Can't get over how obvious it is you two love each other. Thanks for your adventures and letting me watch. Steve rhome texas
We are so pleasantly surprised! We have been watching your videos. When you moved stateside and started building your dinghy, we decided to continue watching your videos, unsure if they would hold our interest. We are still watching & enjoying. You have continued to make interesting, entertaining videos. Thanks!
Garret, Do yourself a solid and put a sheet of 6061 1/8 ' aluminum on the inside of that transom. You won't regret it. Especially if you're going to use a motor. God Bless
I made a tall exterior plate for my transom and a small clamp plate on the inside. Although my transom was two layers of half inch white cedar laminated.
If he’s planning on sailing the boat as well, he will need to make up an external pad to go over the rudder transom pintles as the outboard can’t be offset on these boats. I’ve the CLC pads on mine which are held on with a pair of wing nuts so removeable when sailing.
I don't reckon that's being excessive. The dinghy will be living in a challenging environment and expected to take the ground regularly when going ashore and so forth. So, the extra layers will only be to the good in protecting her for the long term!! Hear endeth the first lesson!!!!!🤣😂👍
Good idea doing the transom as well. Just imagine how much stress is put on a small transom like that when you are trucking along and motor hits a sand bar.
Coming along well. Meticulous work as usual. I'll be interested to see how you integrate rudder pintles for sailing with a motor plate (which can go inside) before you finish off the transom.
I like the step-by-step reminders. Yes, it is all logical - but it has been a long time since I've done it. (I'm also amused! You mentioned that you're on the Central Coast at your dad's house. We too live on the Central Coast. When you were glassing, I heard the rumble of what could have been that big 4-engine B-29 that was cruising around out of Camarillo Airport at the same time that we were griping about the fog! Dare I say, "Hi, Neighbors"?)
The dinghy came out so nicely it´s a pity you cover all that beauty and craftsmanship up with colour! Will the tiller feature a mounting just like an outboard engine? In case Garrett gets bored next winter or hurricane season he could come over to Austria and build a sailing dinghy with me ... 😁
Nice work on the fiberglass! You mentioned the dagger board trunk, which reminded me of something you will want to make sure of. On the CLC Passagemaker dagger board trunk, they do not provide a way to lock down the dagger board in place, or to easily cover he hole when you are not "sailing"(which makes for a wet ride). Also, when the dagger board is in, the handle sticks up out above the center seat, making it awkward to use the center seat. I am going to modify the trunk to have a recess , and put a flat top on the dagger board to fit into the recess, with a way to lock the dagger board down. I'll make a "Blank" to cover the dagger board trunk whole when not in use. I am thinking about adding some lead weight to the dagger board itself to help with stability, sailing, and to hold it down. If you are going to add sailing at a later date I would leave at least one end of the trunk closed for now.
Hi guys, little red looking fantastic on grateful and that you’re over engineering it because it’s going to take a lot of hard knocks when it’s on the sea. Anyway keep up the good work guys cliff from Australia.
Captain overkill on the job, now I would do the same thing, as the saying goes 'Nothing build too strong ever broke' Looking good so far, probably even better when she's all finished.
It's probably for that now, but you could cut Rediviva out of ballistic cloth. You also have it in red color, and the material is 3mm thick, the epoxy resin holds it well, but it takes a long time to dry, Greetings from Serbia
It is too late for Little Red, but when glassing large areas such as the bottom and sides, cut oversize by 2 inches and remove the extra 2" of fiber cross threads. This will decrease the thickness of the glass by a full glass thread thickness allowing for a more gradual transition. The resulting edge becomes a feathered edge that can be managed with the epoxy application brush, keeping the threads straight. As far as strength is concerned, the fibers that are left continue to run port to starbrd in continuos strand leaving strength uneffected. I've done it. It saves a lot in fairing compound (diy epoxy and wood filler paste) and sanding.
Yes you have overbuilt a little bit !! But considering the strain the transom takes when it’s got an outboard on I would have put a couple of layers over the whole thing. Looking ok though for a tender.
Good to see how a job should be done, I like the idea with the tape at the finish of each layer. Wish I new this when I encapsulated my hartley ts 16. Did I knotice Jarred had a hair cut?
Hi love your boat planes and that you were putting extra fiberglass on the boat but you said that you were mounting a moter out border engine. An idea is to put an extra 6' inch of plywood where the out boat will mount onto to give it a beefy support to mount the out boat engine too. There is also to build a box or containment to hold road fuel tank and other items. Love the show.
Looking good. Which reminds me that I have a bathroom shower pan that needs to be epoxy glassed too. Fun stuff. It's not that bad though. Just messy and time consuming. Wish the resin wasn't so expensive.
I am sorry but if it was me ,I would glass the Transom as well. That way you don't have water penetrating the transom and in time Rottening the boat out. And it would give you more strength for your out bord motor. I Guess you are going to glass the inside too. Years ago I helped my Cousin build the same type of boat and we also put a Aluminum strip on the bow of the boat 🚢 to help when he would beach it. And it worked. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and cheers
Garret i have a vary simple way of looking at thing "there is no kill like Overkill" if your going to build something your going to rely on over build it. I can't wait to see you in the water with Ruth in little red.
🇨🇦 I noticed the date Oct. 24th. Your almost caught up to real time, hoorah😊 for you She looks great, some glass on the inside and she’s ready for Red Paint A Little customization on the inside (seats) you’ll be ready for launch, ya-ho OK I’m anxious! Hope you don’t mind my Canadian humour?👍 🇨🇦. Cdn. Dave
Question for the Skipper. How much will the dingy weigh with all that extra glass on it. That extra weight may bite you in the back later on. Having said that, I do enjoy watching you analyze the problems then jumping in and getting er done.
why no glass on the transom? this is a region of high stress - either with the rudder - or even more - with the outboard engine. 2 layers minimum. additionally I would recommend stainless plate (at least aluminium) where the fasteners of the engine will clamp to - BOTH sides, inboard and outboard. Another point to realize - epoxy on bare wood will crack until glassed! Don't ask me why I know, and we do not have such high temperatures where I live!
To deal with itchy fiberglass make a duct tape loop around fingers with the sticky side out. Use this to pat the stickies and pull them out of the skin.
Hi from NZ. It is a long wait each week for the next episode. I am restoring an old boat and am learning all the time by watching your channel. I notice you don't use a roller to work in the resin. Is there a reason for this? I will be interested what name you give the dinghy. Cheers Roger.
Really love you two.... love your content and your style....However I cannot abide by your treatment of that that poor pool table.. I have wanted to say this for weeks !!! laughing with my teeth grit....
hello buy a gps and mounted in so you and the police can find it ,i`ve seen how it works on film from Gothenburg where the owner can see in the mobile phone how it`s moving from the marinan and to the police taking them
Got a question and I am not a builder just a retired farmer. Why not put those extra layers on the bow first then come over the top with the full pieces. Am I wrong? Just asking if it would make any difference?
For the hour or two it would take now I'd think you'd want to fully glass that transom. You've overbuilt everywhere else. Seems unlike you to leave an area undone.
How Garret gets anything done when you are walking around in jeans is remarkable. I wouldn't be able to concentrate. And if there are ANY viewers at this time on TH-cam that aren't well aware of Total Boats product line? Where have you been?!
Haya, when your passing by Channel Islands Harbor give me a ring and I can take you 2 out on a gondola ride, if your interested. Let me know in advance if it would be an AM cruise. Business name is the TH-cam handle.
An Honor Graduate from the School of Over-Kill. Nothing ever broke from being built too strong!
Some warships actually did. They didn't have enough displacement and ended up not seaworthy. though I really don't think this little thing will have that issue :D
Fiberglass to the max where the Outboard sits as this is a high wear zone.😄
Looking good. On my canoe I epoxied a layer of Kevlar on the bow and along the front of the bottom for extra abrasion resistance.
That's a pretty good idea seeing as how both cut resistant gloves and body armor are made from kevlar.
My Father was a boat carpenter for many years, he would say anything worth building is worth over building
Tremendously difficult dinghy build by an epic shipwright. Amazing Garret!
Fascinating, being a landlocked old guy it’s really interesting to watch you build this. And I agree with other comments about it never hurts to overbuild, it’s much better to be safe than sorry.
Ruth, I know you're a really terrific help to your hubby and can guess how much he appreciates it.
Garrett, it's great to sit here and watch a detailed description of the work being done by a perfectionist such as yourself, a man with the patience to be so. Congrats on a great job to you both.
Never hurts to add more fiberglass, especially if you have leftover epoxy to use! Great job!
And the youtube oscar for best interjections goes to Garrets Dad

You are smart to fiberglass inside and out. I learned that the hard way, now I am repairing the inside.
I did enjoy that! Apart from learning lots more, the well-chosen music smoothed me down after a busy 'Choresday' of carting water for the tank, checking the trusty Lister and also the route ahead.
I switch on TH-cam and you guys come up first on my suggestions! 🙂

YES Build it Bombproof !
Wholly concur with the extra work. Not enough people ask the question, What if? What if X ? What if Y ?
Not just with boats, life in general.
I'm loving this build! Thanks for sharing.
Almost there ! When in doubt - overbuild !
Looking good!
Garret, Do yourself a solid and put a sheet of 6061 1/8 ' aluminum on the inside of that transom. You won't regret it. Especially if you're going to use a motor. God Bless
great Idea Hope he pays attention. Love them Both
Build the whole thing out of aluminum! Doesnt matter how much fiberglass you but on that thing it's not gonna be rugged, just heavy.
@@Jayzgroovesexcept you need to be proficient aluminum welder.
I made a tall exterior plate for my transom and a small clamp plate on the inside. Although my transom was two layers of half inch white cedar laminated.
If he’s planning on sailing the boat as well, he will need to make up an external pad to go over the rudder transom pintles as the outboard can’t be offset on these boats. I’ve the CLC pads on mine which are held on with a pair of wing nuts so removeable when sailing.

Nicely Done both of you!

I don't reckon that's being excessive. The dinghy will be living in a challenging environment and expected to take the ground regularly when going ashore and so forth. So, the extra layers will only be to the good in protecting her for the long term!! Hear endeth the first lesson!!!!!🤣😂👍
☕☕ a good cup of coffee to cure what ails you both. -- Jerry
Glass it up, guys! It's not a racing boat. Make it sturdy as hell!
Good idea doing the transom as well. Just imagine how much stress is put on a small transom like that when you are trucking along and motor hits a sand bar.
Permanently embeded in my brain from KEYT Ch.3 SB Ca. "Late night and early morning fog"
I Love The Blues !!! Keep it up kids.
Nice progress 🎉
Coming along well. Meticulous work as usual. I'll be interested to see how you integrate rudder pintles for sailing with a motor plate (which can go inside) before you finish off the transom.

Dare you to row/sail/power it down the west coast and around the cape back to Rediviva :p
I can see that the next project will be davits for the mother ship!
making it look so easy. :)
Thank you, team!! Nicely bilt vessel!! Strong ang beauty, hull!! I lovet that! Everything good for you guy's!!👌👍☺️✌️☀️🌻🇫🇮🍀✴️

Uggg our house has the crud cold too. Finally cool in Fresno. Love it.
I see dinghy sailing races in your future. But I can also see keeping it simple as an outboard only boat as well.

Over build to your heart's content, I do. Never had a problem with breakages dude. You will have a situation that you will be glad of the over build.
Great skills, great job, great channel ❤❤❤

Look into a plastic bow protector like bass boats use.
Looking good. Which reminds me that I have a bathroom shower pan that needs to be epoxy glassed too. Fun stuff. It's not that bad though. Just messy and time consuming. Wish the resin wasn't so expensive.
Check out Raka Inc ;)
We fiberglassed Rediviva's deck and hull-to-deck joint with this stuff. Cheaper in bulk

Garrett & Ruth, that dinghy is looking good. Although, somehow, in my mind, I pictured this dinghy larger than that. Why? I have no clue.

Lil Red is overbuilt for the sketcy situations.

44th! lol... more to follow... As usual, an excellent offering. Hmmm, too much. Just right. (tip o' the hat to Vice Grip Garage)
Howdy you two! 😃
Garrett sort of looks like Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes. Just watched it today.
disappointed that you did not cover the pool table
Question for the Skipper. How much will the dingy weigh with all that extra glass on it. That extra weight may bite you in the back later on. Having said that, I do enjoy watching you analyze the problems then jumping in and getting er done.
We'll find out ;) Supposed to be 130 pounds when finished 👍

Have you been adding up the weight as you go? Any idea how much heavier this will be than the original plans?
To deal with itchy fiberglass make a duct tape loop around fingers with the sticky side out. Use this to pat the stickies and pull them out of the skin.
nice job working with the epoxy…..looking forward to primer….paint and the road trip!
p.s…….i let the adds run full time….in Thai no less!

For the edges the word your looking for is "Chine (s}"
any chance of recovering you anchor chain on the road trip back through Mexico?
Really love you two.... love your content and your style....However I cannot abide by your treatment of that that poor pool table.. I have wanted to say this for weeks !!! laughing with my teeth grit....
Agreed
What are you adding to the gunnel to enhance its lifespan as a cruisers dingy?
He'll be using more of that Alder to make the spacered inwales in the plans
R
Omg! A Dodger spatula. Yuk. Go Giants !
👍👍👍
So, the plans only call for glassing half the inside. would that be the front half or back half???? } : )
hello buy a gps and mounted in so you and the police can find it ,i`ve seen how it works
on film from Gothenburg where the owner can see in the mobile phone how it`s moving from the marinan and to the police taking them
Not overkill, but smart! But no longer a light weight dingy.
Got a question and I am not a builder just a retired farmer. Why not put those extra layers on the bow first then come over the top with the full pieces. Am I wrong? Just asking if it would make any difference?
Both ways would work 👍
Install lifting points?
Do you guys keep coming north for visa reasons or weather only
Bit of both this year :)
R
Maple leaf?
What's that all aboot?
Can some one explain how the planks are edge joined ?
For the hour or two it would take now I'd think you'd want to fully glass that transom. You've overbuilt everywhere else. Seems unlike you to leave an area undone.
The illnesses come from epoxy sensitivity.
Ruth, have you started on your novel? Guaranteed sale, here.
You should of overlapped the final bottom fiberglass
Can't see the difference.getting heavy

Hate to be negative, but I cringe every time I see you working on that pool table without a cover over it!
