- This is a comprehensive two hour build video to help boat builders creating the Angus Wheelbarrow Dinghy. The finished boat can be viewed in the water here: • Wheelbarrow Boat Please note, that the 60,000 word manual is the primary build resource, and this is meant to augment it. Some of the procedures in this video may be changed or be out of date, so if there are any discrepancies to the manual, be sure to follow the manual and not the video. We also have a build photo gallery at this link: www.flickr.com/photos/angusad... More information on the boat can be found here: angusrowboats.com/pages/wheel...
Absolutely fantastic .. fishermen will be queueing up for this to get their equipment into hard to reach river banks ..with the addition of a boat I can see this being a resounding success.
Wow! Amazing detail provided. Thank you. I may consider this build.
Thanks for doing this. You provided a lot of great information. I subscribed.
Thank you! Great videos.
Wow its a build for sure
Great design and a nice detailed video with explanation when and where needed. I enjoyed watching, except for the few cringes now and then.
There is no such thing as a "front" transom.
A boats transom an important structural member at the stern (rear) of a boat or ship. It is a flat, or nearly flat surface that runs vertically, or nearly vertically. A boat or ship has only one transom.
It is basically the "rear wall" of a boats hull.
When a ship or boat is in the water, one face of the transom will be in contact with the water, while the other faces the inside the vessel.
A bulkhead is a vertical structural member within the hull of a ship. A bulkheads main purpose is to determine, and hold the shape of the hull. A very small boat usually has only two or three bulkheads. A larger boat or ship may have many.
Both faces of a bulkhead are inside the vessel.
Thanks for your comments, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Believe it or not, the front face of a pram is called a transom, or more specifically the forward transom. Yes, the frames aren't technically bulkheads. I catch myself saying that often, due to the fact that I'm so used to applying the similar (actual) bulkheads in all our decked boats.
@@angusrowboats very interesting. Obviously, you and I are in different parts of of this big wide world. You are the second English speaker in as many months that has mentioned what I presume is type of boat, that I've not heard of before. Interestingly enough, both types are four letters long, and begin with the letter "P".
Now I have two different types of new (at least to me) boats to research and learn about, Pram and Punt.
You say the pram has both, a fore and aft transom. That leads me to believe this boat is square(ish) on both ends. I've seen some small boats that have blunt bows, but I've always known them as dinghys. (Ding like a bell, then, e, as in flea.)
Some of them are quite small, only 1 or 2 people maximum. Others are larger, 4 to 6 people. There is one design that many people build and rig out for sailing. Apparently, tens of thousands of them have been built.
A few years ago I was at a lake and saw two of them sailing around. They were obviously together. They were racing and chasing one another. Even a few minor collisions, and one capsizing. The boat was quickly righted and off they went again.
They sail much better than I thought a blunt nosed rowboat would.
I guess that technically, those "bows" were transoms. They had the inside of the boat on one side and water on the other, and it was determining the shape of the front of the boat.
Thank you for your response to my comment, and the new knowledge. Cheers!
Was wondering why you didn’t seal the pieces of the wheel well prior to gluing and screwing it together.
Which part of the wheel/wheel well did you think could be sealed better? Luckily, after a year of use, not a drop of water has come through. It was important, however, sourcing a wheel that used plastic bushings rather than bearings, so it's inert to salt water.
@@OpenOceanRobotics Just thought it might be a bit easier than reaching inside to seal it. Not a criticism.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 !!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have you used cabosil for the putty? (Not sure on the spelling)
Yes, we used a mixture of cabosil (fumed silica) and wood flour to thicken the epoxy. The cabosil is really good for holding its form (resists sagging) and the wood flour provides color (otherwise it's just white) and a bit of strength.
How does the wheel assembly do in salt water?
So far so good. The prototype has been going for 1.5 years with no probs yet. The wheel itself is all plastic, along with plastic bushings so pretty inert to salt water. The axle bolt and corresponding hardware are 316 stainless. People see the wheel and think it looks flimsier than a regular heavy-duty wheelbarrow wheel, but the offerings are somewhat limited for wheels suitable for regular salt immersions.
2024 good day pal.🇿🇦 From South Africa. Try that on Alantic ocean. Sail from South Africa banana Republic to Britain 7000 miles. South Africa is Stuffed up. High unemployment rate. High crime rate.
