    There was a strong Viking longship vibe to Xyla’s boat. Leaves you to wonder, would they have been such successful invaders if they had all been rocking bright yellow duck heads and butts? 🤷‍♀️

      Agreed! We discussed that several times, even contemplated a Viking funeral for it at the end, but decided against it. Probably for the best.

    I would really like the see Jason, From the Bourbon Moth channel take the Scrap Boat Challenge at some point int he future. He seems a good follow-on to Xyla for the series.

    Yer Uncle Taz reporting in from two years in the future: Great boat based on Improv. Some notes: needs a stability element like a keel or rudder to help it keep straight.
    That said, I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't to nose heavy and thought it might have needed a void creating balloon during the filling of the head.
    Still- Well done.

    I love the *point* of this challenge and the advertisement messaging from Botal Toat that anything can become the frame for a flotation device with one or two supplements from their stores and a lot of intelligent creativity - which Xyla oozes daily.

    • @ChrischenL

      I think the Carbon Fiber dress was later than the boat because Xyla sad in this video, that she never used flotation foam before but worked with it (again) for her figure dummy.

    Scrap they say. What a useful pile of nice stuff. When I build shit with my brother, when we were a kids, it was made from palette wood only and lots of asphalt melted by fire in old pot. Ship was around slightly more than 1 meter long and around half meter wide, but it weights more than both of us together. It barely floats, but it was able to carry both two kids. What a times with burned skin and splinters.

    so many buckets could've easily sliced one in half to attach to pole and then not have resistance of pushing paddle down into water ... on the other webbed foot though hers would float if say clumsily dropped 🤔 good duckin though 💜

    this was funny, no real form for the foam made for extra drag rough bottom it seems.
    ending I'm thinking "dang, no one taught her a J stroke" for paddling straight from one side of the craft.. is pulling yourself forward but end of stroke paddle turned 90 degrees to push outward 8-12" (as needed) to rudder+correct, would have been shorter lap time.
    OK Xyla did engineering school not canoeing school....
