So in the video here you spoke of possibly drawing up plans for this build. If/when you decide to do so, you'll have my full attention, I can assure ya. Excellent work, sir!
@@MrUnderhilllI'd expect it to hold up pretty well as long as it isn't constantly docked in the water. Biggest problem I can see is it getting rubbed off during transport/loading/unloading. You'd just have to keep an eye on it and touch it up as needed
I've watched this so many times. Thanks for putting this out for all of us to enjoy. I'm inspired to build this boat as my first. How tall is your mast and square foot of sail?
Wow! Fantastic build. I’m very impressed by your skills. The Sharpie book is a great resource along with Chappell. They’re in my library too. Looking forward to seeing you sail your fleet, Captain. What’s the length? Don’t think I caught that. Well done. Cheers.
Hey CR, sorry for a comment on the year old video...planning a build like this very soon. Did you use the PL to glue up the Stern boards as well? Along with some clamps I assume before cutting. Thank you sir. I'm going to ware a hole in the internet watching this video over and over again.
Not a problem at all. The videos don't expire, and neither do the comments! I actually used Titan Tibond to edge glue the transom stock. (I think Tibond 2. Whichever is waterproof.) It's also a good idea to alternate the grain on the upper and lower boards. Look at the half circle (partial sections of tree rings) of the end grain, and set them facing opposite directions. Yes, big clamps! Glue and Clamp overnight. Wipe any excess glue thoroughly while wet. It's a pain to sand when it dries. I'm seriously wanting to get some plans out for this skiff, but it's going to be awhile. It's a big undertaking, and I'm busy enough as it is. Good luck to you!
My Pepere would call this a chaloupe. Pronounced "Shall-oh" in our Acadian French. You can still see these little knock around boats all over French New Brunswick
The guides that rowed the Adirondack boats had a rowing style where they overlapped the oars (crossing their hands) because the boats are so narrow. I wonder if that would help with the lower position of the oar locks here...🤔
Tjat ripple you refer to appears to be planing chatter from the mill, not a result of bending. It will be more apparent in certain lighting conditions so you may not have noticed it in the lumber yard
Thank you! I always appreciate your comments. Feedback is invaluable. I'm fortunate to have viewers so engaged with this project. Couldn't do it without you!
i also would like to know more particulars on the mast and spars. It looks like the later are 1 1/4" dowel, but the mast? A couple of 2 x 4s glued together and rounded off?
You made the construction very understandable. I bought a very similar DIY boat from someone.never sailed before, absolutely love sailing now. It's falling apart.time to build my own sailboat!
I love this little boat and may end up making one as my first boat build ever and have an idea how to build a how to build a bigger one so I can take my niece fishing
Sweet little skiff you built yourself there. Here in Maine we seldom see that kind of flat water so I'd need to add another six inch plank to increase the freeboard a bit. Not difficult to do and would not add much weight. The wavy pattern on you side planks are chatter marks from the finish planer at the mil. They just pushed those planks through the machine to fast and that's the result.
To me a small wooden flat iron skiff like yours beats a noisy aluminum motorboat. My favorite design is a very small traditional Chesapeake crab skiff in the National Watercraft Collection with plans in Sucher's "The Flat Bottom Boat". It is strictly a rowing boat (sail and cb could easily be added) and the hull lines are the most elegant I've ever laid eyes on. It is well within the ability of someone with some basic carpentry sills.
Your video skills are equal to your building skills. Even if you dont care about boats its such a soothing gentle video. I built Parker's 19Ft Ohio Sharpie Skiff and have experienced all the benefits and drawbacks of the flat bottom. My primary need was shallow draft. 4 in with swing centre board up . Two sheets are the only running rigging. Freestanding bamboo pole masts. Its cat ketch so the foremast is right up in the eyes and the mainmast, as I call it, cos its closer to the middle of the hull is two inches shorter. Has balanced rudder which goes under the transom. Not good as you cant easily lift rudder when sailing on rocks. Done that a bit cos I love shallow sailing.And dont try walking around foremast while sailing or at anchor. You will tilt her up and there is no stability with half the hull out of the water and over she goes. Have capsized her under tow as painter was fitted high up on stem . Should be fitted down at waterline so bow doesnt get pulled under between waves when towing. She then drifted into sandy sloping beach with a little swell running and vacuumed onto the sand . Not enough to float her and too much to suck her off the bottom. Had to leave her to her fate overnight but managed to refloat her next day on high tide, walked her into deeper water to roll her over and then walked the submerged hull into the shallows to bail out and get back to my boatshed where I slipped her and had to pump out about 1/4 of a ton of sand. No damage except for sand chafe on stem. Saved all my gear but lost a sailing jacket.It is important that C/B case goes higher than gunnel, it may look goofy but without the height you cant bail her when submerged to neutral bouyancy as the water overflows the case. back into the hull.Give sharpies a go ,they are fun within their few limitations.
Thanks for the kind words. Truthfully, I'm mediocre at best, but can become very motivated when I get the bug. Sounds like you've been through it all with your sharpie. Very informative. I love hearing these kinds of first hand accounts. Interesting point about the trunk. I hadn't considered that. A sealed cap would solve the issue, but I know some boats require an open top trunk to accommodate a larger board.
Don't know much about sailing but i bet i could build it. Im in my 50s and have rediscovered the pleasures of non-moterized boating with canoeing and such. Very interesting build ❤
In my state, staying under 12' means that I don't have to register the boat (according to gov website). That would be ideal as a project for me and my son.
I'm making a 9' dingy (beam of about 4'9") my fourth build, from plywood and planning to solve the floatation issue using several inflatable boat fenders fastened to the frames with big eye screws. I found some nice teal colored ones from one company. I'm using a dagger board.
I am on my second canoe build. I am loving your channel. Thank you for sharing. The horizontal lines in the side board was from it not being sanded after planing. What glue are you using?
Very nice boat. I also wanted a pickup bed boat. The Piccup Pram by Jim Michalak worked really well for me. A kayak dolly made it much easier to get the boat around.
One of the things that make a boat beautiful is how well it fullfils it's function. It takes a practiced eye to appreciate that. Your boat is beautiful.
I’ve watched a LOT of boat builds lately and yours is one of my favorites. Although, you made me question the boat I want to build so I’m struggling a bit. I like the ugly but practical Oz Goose plywood boats. I don’t have any experience but it seems doable. But after watching the simple and elegant way you made this boat, I’m not as sure about the Oz. One thing I would want to do differently is have it a bit more above the waterline. This will probably be a dumb question but my local big box store has 12x4x1/4 shiplap cedar that’s reasonably priced. Do you think it would be possible to use that, glueing as I go, to make a similar boat with about 3 more inches above the waterline? I don’t need a boat for the open ocean but we do have 100’+ yachts that cause serious wakes. One other question: if I’m not mistaken, the plywood you used was not marine grade, correct? Pretty much everyone on the internet says you can’t get away with standard plywood. I’m thinking if it’s sealed, painted, and kept stored dry it should be okay to not spend a small fortune on marine grade. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing your videos. They are pleasant to watch and inspiring.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Excellent questions, and I appreciate the feedback. Keep in mind: I'm no expert, and have no special knowledge other than a good amount of experience tinkering around with boats. I've built several, 3 that I consider very successful. I would recommend taking a look at The Sharpie Book by Reul Parker before starting a build. That is an excellent primer on this type of craft that includes detailed building methods and sample plans. More free board would be nice. Mainly at the bow. An extra 3 inches would be perfect. Regardless, a skiff this small is really only suited to protected waters, and even then, there's always a way to find trouble ;) To my knowledge, the best way to gain this height is by using plywood joined with butt blocks (on ends to achieve 12ft length). Or, instead of a single 12in wide board for each side, use 2 8in wide boards butted together on edge (or a 10 and a 6 for example). This is how my 15ft skiff was planked. It ads a considerable amount of work and complexity. Vertical frames mast be used to tie the planking together. I would say 1/4 in is too thin for solid wood. Fewer joints is better for this style of build, as it can be a pain to fit and make tight. I like the lowest plank to be wide enough that the joint with the plank above it is above the waterline. I would not recommend 4in wide boards. Some skiffs are built with planking that narrow, but have to be caulked with cotton (which must be continually maintained) If you want the boat to last as long as possible, maybe marine ply would be best. I honestly don't know. My understanding is that there is not a major difference between the adhesives used on exterior grade ply and marine. The main thing is that the glue be waterproof. I've been successful using exterior ply on several small boats (just painted regularly). I know they won't last forever. Coat with epoxy, and/or fiberglass tape the seams, and exterior plywood will probably last a lifetime.
Beautiful eye catching lines..super filming & narration..bet Wooden Boat Magazine would love presenting this via a full write-up. Canyon , with big gratefulness, and I'll 2nd- ' for sure- Saucy
It's available occasionally. To me, it's not worth shelling out the cash for small and experimental builds like this. For the right build, I would love cypress.
I've done some sewing of sails, but not this one. It was purchased from Chesapeake Light Craft a while back for an old project. I may end up sewing a new lug sail for this boat. I think it would benefit from just a tiny bit more sail area.
@@cumberlandrover I really like this boat and am thinking about a copy for our calmer inland NC waters. Was the reasoning for the Lug sail shape because of your experience with them? I'm using a LOM for a Goose currently and think that sail would look nice on your Sharpie.
Very nice. What type? 12 seems to be the magic number for small recreational boats. I love my bigger boats, but tend to have the most fun in the small ones.
@@cumberlandrover I'm building sort of a cross between Jim Michalak's Mayfl12 (flatiron skiff) and his Skat (catboat). In Missouri a sailboat under 12' with no motor doesn't require registration which makes them very attractive : )
@@geneberry7114 Interesting. The mayfly has some wild rocker for its length. Looks fun. No registry does sweeten the appeal haha. In Ky any non-powered vessel is registration exempt. I guess we're lucky.
Inspiring. Got the sharpie book thanks to this video. Will attempt a spring build. Any other books you suggest? Also, did you show us how you built your mast step?
@@mxDuzt Good luck to you! The Sharpie Book is pretty comprehensive. I cut the seat with a 2in hole saw where the mast passes through. The step is made from a pine 1x4, and also cut with a 2in hole saw. It's screwed to the keelson with 4 #8 deck screws. It's best for the holes to be a little larger than the mast. You can make a tight fit using a leather collar, tape, etc. Before fastening the step in, pass the mast through the hole in the seat and mark the step location on the keelson. Also, it's important to rig the halyard in such a way that it holds the mast down, preventing it from jumping out of the step. My halyard runs through a fairlead on the seat (mast partner), and aft to a cleat on the daggerboard trunk.

This is nice, simple boatbuilding. No epoxy, no „marine” products. Something everyone can build in the garage.
How well will the house paint hold up to the water over time?
@@MrUnderhilllI'd expect it to hold up pretty well as long as it isn't constantly docked in the water. Biggest problem I can see is it getting rubbed off during transport/loading/unloading. You'd just have to keep an eye on it and touch it up as needed
Both sides have planer ripples from the sawmill, starboard outside, port inside.
This is the most well designed boat ive seen ever if you do get those plans ill be buying a set
I've watched this so many times. Thanks for putting this out for all of us to enjoy. I'm inspired to build this boat as my first.
How tall is your mast and square foot of sail?
A very nice boat design with minimal inputs and materials. Thank you.
May i ask how you waterproofed the seams where the plywwood bottom connects to the side planks? Great boat and vid. Thank you.
Great job!
Do you think it could work on coast water?
Wow! Fantastic build. I’m very impressed by your skills. The Sharpie book is a great resource along with Chappell. They’re in my library too. Looking forward to seeing you sail your fleet, Captain. What’s the length? Don’t think I caught that. Well done. Cheers.
Thank you. The fleet probably measures100ft of hull if you include Kayaks and the Boston Whaler haha. I have too many boats.

Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.
16:43 I would prefer not to screw up this step
My Pepere would call this a chaloupe. Pronounced "Shall-oh" in our Acadian French.
You can still see these little knock around boats all over French New Brunswick
Very interesting! I will have to look into that type.
Your boat is influencing the dreams of many people,encouraging along
it’s not in the description, but at 3:09 he mentions that the boat is made from the sharpie book by reuel parker

Tjat ripple you refer to appears to be planing chatter from the mill, not a result of bending. It will be more apparent in certain lighting conditions so you may not have noticed it in the lumber yard
Or maybe the bending stressed the wood enough to accentuate the planing "ripple"?
This is awesome. I had no idea you could just damn build a boat.
i mean people did it for millenia, why couldn't you with modern tooling :D
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel boating at it's purists and the waters there offer a wonderful backdrop.
Thanks for posting
Thank you! I always appreciate your comments. Feedback is invaluable. I'm fortunate to have viewers so engaged with this project. Couldn't do it without you!
Beautiful, conjuring up early 1900s vibes with the blue. And the old sail shape.
...I have discovered a new ADHD fixation...
Would have liked some detail on what wood you chose for the mast and whatnot, love the boat!

What's the area of your lug sail? I'd love to build a boat like this.
How did you choose the angles for the midship thing that you bent the boards around? Or for the transom angles?
This is amazing!
Thank you for sharing

Well done. That’s a sweet little skiff. A great entry level single handed boat. Great video. I envy you your building space.😊

Loved the little digression on your families history. And great boat btw
Awesome video makes me want to build this boat and if a guy had a list of his materials that would be pretty amazing!
I want one!
if you can tell the sawmill what size boards you want they may be able to get you some cypress around here occasionally

Very good boat, super video!!!
That’s a big success ❤
This is so cool
I had exactly the same criteria, but I wanted the boat to be really light, so I'm building a Storer Viola sailing canoe.
Very nice! I'd like to eventually experiment with a canoe or pirogue build. Personally, I prefer the initial stability of a boat.
Yes, I have bigger boats for that, but, if I end up one day with the Viola as my only boat, I may have to explore "training wheels"..@@cumberlandrover
