- Escape the Ordinary with the Unsinkable Skiff! The Ultimate Car-Topable Boat for Adventures!
This week finished coating and sanding the panels and started assembly what can now be called a skiff. It's extremely light so far and it was really easy to put together. All ready for next stage: Filleting.

I like the atmosphere of your videos. Keep up good work!
Thank you very much!
Beautifully paced build, excellent camera work/editing. I'm very much enjoying your adventure. Thank you for taking us along.
Thank you very much Sean!
I built my boat stitch and glue method. It is amazing how fast they take shape. You can always do little “tack welds” of epoxy to allow you to remove your cable ties and get uninterrupted fillets. Also you should be wary of invoking the luck of the titanic calling it unsinkable!
Hi Rob,
Short of breaking the boat into small pieces it will be very hard to sink something with 1000lbs built in floatation in 4 separate compartments. Titanic was made of steel... I'll take that chance! 😁
Excellent explanations what you're doing and, more importantly, why.
Glad you liked it! 😉
1st boat build = amateur. 2nd boat build = expert - Because you have already learned from your mistakes! Keep up the good work.
well it certainly is going smoother than the first one! 🤞
I am loving your videos sharing your process in selecting this boat to build and then watch it take shape. It is very informative. I am glad you selected the fillet method for the joints so we can compare this process with the wood frame joints. Thank you for taking the time to record this and share your experience with your subscribers! Enjoy another cup of coffee from one of your subscribers.
Thanks a bunch Jim! 😁
Hi Teo, I have found this series of building the boat so interesting but more so it has inspired and shown just how easy it can be if you take your time and just follow the plan. This has made boat building something thats now possibly within my scope!!!
Hi Dave!
Boat building doesn't have to be complicated, it just takes preparation, time and patience! Choosing the right boat as a first time builder is very important so that you don't get stuck with an unfinished project for many months or even years. Go for it buddy! 😉
@@TheBoatRambler I just might. Need to find a workshop large enough to begin with though!!! One question for you. Was the Goat Island Skiff easier to build than the current one. I really love the Goat Island Skiff. Also do you know if you can have different rigs with it. I would love to have a more modern rig with Jib, maybe gaff rigged mainsail and a spinnaker? Not sure what your thoughts on that are though!!?
The GIS isn't as easy, you need to bend the panels, bevel all framing and chinelogs, etc. The OZ Goose is all square!, everything just falls into place! But the GIS is still a good first build for someone who is used to hand tools anyway.
As for rigging, I tried almost all rigs but the balanced lug is my favorite atm. No shrouds, just the one sail so you can tack quickly, it's on par with some modern racing dinghies, it's easy to reef etc...
Build a simple boat, sail it with a balanced lug sail and then make your decisions based on your personal preference.
@@TheBoatRamblerThats great advice. Maybe i'll give one a go!!!
It is common with stitch-n-glue boat building to fillet between the zip ties first. Let them set up, then remove the zip ties and fillet the gaps. Takes a little longer but can save you a bit of sanding.
FloMo uses CN Glue for tacking his Stitch and Glue Deaigns
Thanks guys.
I might do all filets inside the tanks and let them set first, then I can remove the zip ties and make clean fillets on the other side where it's visible.
Good work putting that together. I like the way it hods together with just zip ties.
Thank you Ben!
You should make a blooper reel at some point. Since all the build moves here are almost flawless you must have a ton of material like cans tipping over, screws falling off the table, tools knocking you on your toes etc.
To be honest, this build has been so relaxing and easy that things have gone right first time. It helps that I prepare everything in detail and think exactly what/how I will be doing it for the camera. It would be a very short blooper's video! 😅
If I were building this boat, I'd fillet the frame joints and even varnish or paint the insides of the air-boxes too (while leaving geneorous space for bottom tabbing). Then, once the bottom is on, the bottoms of the insides of the airboxes. This could save a lot of tedious labor later.
Hi Bob,
The Frame joints will be glued to plywood with epoxy on two sides.
99% of the sanding is done! I will not do any sanding or painting inside the tanks as they should not be exposed to UVs nor water. This will also save around 2lbs on final weight.
I can see myself attempting to build one in the future.
It really is a simple construction and a very versatile little boat.
It's great to see it in progress and the video is just the right length & good video shots.
Thanks Joe 👍
Such good advice, thank you! The waxy stuff is amine blush I think?
Thanks, and yes I think you are right. 😉
Excelent
Thanks Julio!
Neat work buddy!
Thanks!
I thought the top glueing timber was supposed to be on the inside of the floatation chamber, along with the splicing gusset.
On the outside panels the gluing timber is on the outside to double up as gunwale.
Would it have worked to assemble it upside down to avoid having to turn it over? Just about to get to this part of the build :)
Again great work!!
Thanks again! 😉
Great video, I'm learning so much, thank you for sharing.
Glad to hear that! 😉
Great vido👍
Thanks David
👏👍👏👍👏👍
who is that girl on the wall?
Long story short.... a friend of mine from school! 😁
@@TheBoatRambler 😁
The world's ugliest sailing boat.
You know, I had a few girls which were drop dead gorgeous, beautiful curves...but they were unpredictable, full of vices, unstable and kept me on my toes all the time, and in certain circumstances it felt like I had to fight them...wait... I said girls? I meant boats of course! 😏

I dated a few boats that were overweight, poorly rigged and behaved badly when the wind got up. But once you've slept with the best it's easy to discard the rest.
Sure, I've slept rough with a few bath tubs and woken up next to a wreck but experience teaches you what you need in a vessel worth keeping. Fine lines, a well cut set of sails, low wetted area in the light stuff but enough beam to handle a heavy blow and get up on the plane.
I dated a girl once who needed a bit of fixing up in the shed. But she cleaned up nicely and turned in to a race winning thoroughbred.
I still miss her but fate took her from me.
😁
One other thing that i am sure you have done and most probably is in the instructions is to check the diagonals are equal to make sure the boat is square, your build looks great
Hi,
The boat is most definitely square at the moment as the bottom is...well, square! 😁
Yes the plans mention the diagonals but only after the fillets are done and before they dry /cure.
The twist, or lack of it, is also importante to get right before it sets.
You can also have family and friends write messages on the plywood and then coat over it, dont sweat the lines that are under the epoxy, its a handmade thing, it shows it was built by a human not AI 🤣
Hi Nathan,
I intend to write the names of everyone who bought me a coffee on the transom. 😉
