Dinghy Capsize Recovery Test! Yes it's 16ft deep there!

- Since I built the watertight side seats on my skiff I hadn't tested the boat's behavior when capsized. It was time to practice some capsize recovery!! The skiff floated higher, still didn't have the tendency to turtle and the hollow box mast proved really helpful with that!!
It's always good to know what to expect by training under controlled circumstances, the more you practice the better you react when it happens!
All in all an amazingly well spent afternoon!
It's all about having fun! 😁

Great result with that side flotation chambers! And video great again!
Thanks Robert! 😉
Rinse her with tap water. I am more worried for the varnises than for her recovering from a capsize
Thanks captain capsize! very convincing. I'm heading out to buy another sheet of plywood now.
Have fun Dom! 😁
I love it, I am learning so much, but not sure I really want to capsize my boat!!! Lol. But you do make it look easy. Side seats worked really well!
Have you thought of putting in a self drain , or auto bailer valve thing ?
Hi Dan!
no not really, the GIS is a very dry boat and the auto bailer alwys end up letting water in the boat at some point.
Also in 3 seasons I have never accidentally capsized the boat (yet) so....🤞
Without that buoyant mast you might have had trouble with turning turtle. Those side seats combined with the weight of the rig would have been a dangerous combination. As it is, your boat is better than a lot of life rafts! Well done
Hey Andy,
the GIS already has 300 liters buoyancy built in from original design. it wont sink! 😁
You seemed to enjoy capsizing the boat a lot....
well... it's summer!! 😁
@@TheBoatRambler It is.
Beautiful boat. Did you build this?
Thank you. Yes I built her myself, it's a Goat Island Skiff.
Maybe I missed it, but it looked like all your capsizes were to starboard. Have you tried any to port?
Hi Chris!
You are right! I was trying to see how much water would go in the hatch with the camera in it and I ended up not capsizing to port!
It is an important test since the mast will be under the sail, boom and yard.
I will do it next time! 😉
Hi Teo.
Great video, both content and filming.
It looks like , with your added side seats you have improved a great design.
Congratulations. gary /Japan
Thanks you!
It's a good start but I wont be sure if the seats are fully effective until I practice a capsize under rough weather conditions. 😉
I always wanted to learn to sail, now I want to learn to capsize for fun!
😁 having fun is the way to go! 😁
Learn to sail and you will learn to capsize at the same time! 😉
Well Done. Wash, rinse, and repeat on a windy day, make sure you have a length of rope to hold onto so the boat does not get blown away. :-)
Hi Alex.
You can see on the footage the floating line trailing from the transom. Hopefully long enough! 😅
Those side seats are giving you a metric but ton of buoyancy! Outstanding!
Thanks Jeremy!
Excellent Job !!!! That is SO MUCH EASIER to right than my Nacra 20na. I can't wait to build one like this. Was the plans worth the 100 dollars or did they leave out a lot of information?
It has all the info you need and more tips and tricks! Very comprehensive plans, great support from a very active FB group and the designer is readily available to take care of any questions that the group can't answer! 😉
Nice recovery. I thought those hatches were supposed to be watertight.
Thanks!
Big hatches are prone to leaks. There are some good ones but are usually really expensive. 😅
My understanding is that those type of hatches are only supposed to be watertight on a vertical surface
Bravo! Now slowly you start to know the character of your boat.
You've got capsize fever, lol, a testament to your building skills & seamanship, love your boat.
I have the "fun" fever...every time I can! 😁
Has any builder done one with a waterproof sole built higher than the DWL with rear scuppers to be self bailing in a static condition? I was surprised how easy it was to capsize with just your weight shift.
Hi Michael,
The GIS is lightweight & fast much like a performance dingy. Like most racing dinghies (and many others) if you don't compensate your weight on the gunwalle with some wind on the sail, it will flip!
What about a little electric bildge pump?
Hi Adrian!
Some of the GIS owners have made a watertight box with a pump and battery to have aboard. It is a good idea and I might just make one too! 😉
They are very slow. Maybe useful in his buoyancy tanks or for emptying the last few litres. Buckets do 14 litres in one pump. Look like 5 or 6 scoops in this boat. Mine is about 15! I have an electric pump for under my floorboards too.
Try it without the mast, that would be interesting.
Imagine you tear your sail in high winds and decide to row.
Knowing how important the mast is to prevent capsize would be an important reason not to take the mast down.
Rowing in high winds with the GIS high sides would be almost impossible. Better off trying to just go downwind to the closest shore if possible.
Now try it with the centreboard up! This happened to me in a laser, impossible!
well one can always swim around and go put that daggerboard down to make it easy to flip it.
Olá, posta seus vídeos em português também, nós aqui no Brasil te acompanhamos.
Olá Marcio, obrigado pelo seu apoio.
Eu publíco videos em Inglês porque consigo abranger e partilhar com mais paises do mundo.
Para fazer legendas em Português ía acrescentar algumas horas ás já muitas que passo a editar o video (16-20h em média).
Abraço!
Very glad your chuffed with your seats. Another nice video.
Thanks!
Bem.. tantas vezes que viraste o barco. Isso já parecia mais diversão que testes hehehe. Assim é que tem que ser.
E ainda me ficou a faltar virar para bombordo!! 😅
Again a very helpful video. Great job! 👍
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for sharing ,I love the 360 camera shots ....they make all the difference, I think I'm going to have to get one cheers Paul
It does feel weird at first, when you're editing but it brings something else to the table... 😉
One thing they don't tell you is that although the camera films in 5.7K, that is the res at full fish eye mode. by the time you correct the distortion you will get 1080P or 1440p at best.
@@TheBoatRamblervery interesting, I love the way it matts out the pole thanks for letting me know
@@TheBoatRambler which model do you have , One R or One X?
Great Video! Thanks for taking the time & effort to film this-
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good! it looks a lot tamer with less water inside! Great video!
yes it is a lot more stable now. 😁
Well done on those wooden buoyancy tanks
Thanks Tristan! They are a game changer!👍
Nice test! I like the side-tanks for this boat.
Thanks Wade!
Simplemente maravillosa prueba!.
Thank you Frederico!
I read somewhere that climbing in over the transom risked the boat turning away from the wind and racing off without you!
Hi Andy!
Even if it turned away from the wind the tendency would be to go round to windward as the tiller is loose. 😉
Bem feito!
Obrigado 🙂
Excelente teste :)
Obrigado amigo Vadio!
Nice looking boat but looks like it goes over too essily and in a blow would be easily capsized unless hiked out.
The GIS as a really big sail with 3 lines of reefs so you don't sail on a gale with full sale. 😉
You can see me sailing the GIS on 30Kn gusts with one reef in the "Downriver" video on my Channel
@@TheBoatRambler I sail on gails all the time without reef, different kind of boat without reefs built for San Francisco Bay in 1932.😎
You've inspired me,,,currently I'm boatless,,,mite be building one of these or similar in near future,,,cheers Chris
Hi!
I waited 20 years to build my GIS...never give up! 😉
