Looking at the hull shape I reckon that with a centreline dagger/centreboard and a high aspect ratio rig that dinghy would make a lively little sailing dinghy. Giving away my roots there.
A beautifully designed and probably also very practical boat. A good choice and a very interesting design. Impressive teamwork... they came as strangers and leave as friends... they have fun together and also work together. The world can function that simply. Thanks for the episode...... and a special thanks to the video production and the great music selection. Greetings from the Baltic Sea coast.
A boat builder can never have enough clamps of all different types! I wish that I had had as many hands available when building my Swift Solo. This video is a great story about teamwork.
Always love your posts, my wife and I had to retire from sailing a few years ago. We realized we were no longer able to handle our 33' sailboat at hard dockings. We're hoping there will be a celebration regatta of sorts where all of the fourteen's sail! We'll love to come over from Monroe,WA to watch everyone enjoy their success. We love your wife's videos as we were both teachers for a lifetime. It would be fun to meet everyone - we're still sailors at heart! Ken and Jeanne Wilson
@@MichaelMurer Hi Mike! I think the clamp on an angle uses more of the clamps surface and spreads out its effective load over a larger distance. ( squeezes out more resin too!)
Thanks for another great episode. I found you from your interview with the “On The Wind” podcast. I got hooked by a couple of episodes and went back to the beginning. I’m caught up and looking forward to the journey continuing. I just joined as a Patreon today 😀. One of my favorite parts is that as the punster in my family I love seeing the tables turned with your prodigious puns Janneke😁
Coming together nicely. Has any particular build number looked better than the others yet? I'm guessing they must all be pretty much the same standard as everyone is involved in each build process. Well done for keeping so calm, I would have to wrestle with my inner control freak not to start micro managing the one that was destined for me! Good job guys another great video. God bless ❤
Towards the end I thought, I was watching a outtro song to a moto vlogger baker x derek on RUclips. Then I look again it's just project Duracell. Which I enjoy watching both channels, loving the boating channels and motorcycle blogging channels.
This series looks like an excellent way for you guys to get a bit ahead of the channel, assuming this took 3 weeks and the videos go over 6 weeks :) Sounds like healthy planning and the build is enjoyable. Well done guys
@@TheDuracellProject absolutely take ABUNDANT time off when the baby arrives, rely on patreon if you can, reduce your video schedule.. I don't wanna say having a baby is harder than it seems.. But yeah it's harder than it seems. :) But most importantly, people are gonna judge a new mom in ways you don't expect. People will argue they know what's best and you'll be pulled in a million directions: how you feed him, how he sleeps, how you carry him, how you dress him.. Everything! And with all the hormones and changes and doubts things that would otherwise be brushed off can stick; feeling judged is awful. Do what you feel best! Don't let people pull you down :)
Given half a chance Matt would have vacuum bagged the hell out of that lot - was expecting to see him in the corner knocking up an autoclave out of scrap & off-cuts!
Back in 1997, my girlfreind followed. me to seattle looking for Skippers work on anything up to.36,000 dwt. I was only offered low pay positions processing and flash freezing product. I figured iut that since i had never unionized nor did i plan too. I took a short term gig driving a wooden passenger ferry from Port Orchard to yhe Naval Storage Facility. I learned that the folks at Port Washinton,Port Townsend . Port Angeles and Port Orchard, we fell on love eith the people and the geography there. Wish i could take one big last trip to PNW take time to visit the center.
This kind of production line can be a lot of fun, especially if the crew is good to work with, which seems to be the case. One fascinating aspect of production lines is the fact that, once there is a rhythm going, people tend to get into a meditative state, since, one of the means for meditation is to do repetitious, systematic moves, like the Buddhists who do countless repetitive prostrations, or turn prayer wheels over and over. Which means, Charlie Chaplin was totally wrong with "Modern Times", and Goddess is kind and great with people who are forced to do repetitive work for a living.
Matt Great Video as always. Pity they don't ship or have an agent in OZ. Looks interesting and fun to build. I wonder if the transom will take a small outboard as we live on a salt water lake.
20:05 - This one is just for the ladies. Matt showing off his sensual skills ;) No seriously, I really love the channel that your wife and you have put together. I've been following it since the start. Love seeing your family (your Mum is amazing) and friends help out, because it's a massive task. I did wonder if you bit off more than you could chew. But you are relentless! Even when you have some "boring tasks" you power through. Hats off to you - it's absolutely brilliant to show mistakes. Hopefully it helps others to avoid them. Also great that you listen to input from your fans comments (e.g. head/bathroom design). Then change what you originally planned. I did watch an episode about what you should call your updated Duracell... names pulled out of the hat... maybe I missed an episode !? What was the decision? "Duracell Revival"? Like Parlay Revival? Please let me know what you decided... and am really looking forward to seeing you guys and your baby, finally get sailing! Although Colin from Parlay Revival said that his viewers were more interested in seeing him repair his broken bulkheads :))) BTW: I think Duracell should still somehow appear in the name.
Matt. It is awesome to see boat Builders come together and build these boats. So Matt are there different size boats being built? How is Mom & Dad Doing these Days?
Great job - I'm really enjoying this little diversion from the main build. Is the inspector getting final sign-off on these? Also, I heard there was a nasty incident at lunch break when confusion arose between the wood-flour thickened epoxy, and Matts peanut butter sandwiches...
1,755th view about to happen... another "Sticky Goop" episode... YAY. Introducing "Dr. Adhesive, PhD" (couldn't think of clever degree letters for Stickyologist.) I think "MixMaster" is already a patented and trademarked thing for a kitchen appliance. 193rd LIKE post at the end.
Simply beautiful boats! Frankly, I'm surprized that I don't see any respirators, and even few dustmasks in use. Granted, this is a large building, but I haven't seen any fans in operation either. Sorry, but this can't be good, you guys.
Laminating epoxy doesn't have solvents like polyester resin. It's perfectly safe to use it when laminating without a mask. SANDING it is a different story and you should wear a mask.
yeah, Joel is good at reminding people to wear masks when necessary, but ultimately it's each person's decision. Matt and I always wear a mask when necessary, especially now.
I mentioned La Paz litter box in a comment for a previous video. Unless you don't mind the litter, cat food, and water dish all being dumped all over your sole when the boat heels over, plan on gimbaling all of those.
Great project but I'm thinking in terms of Duracell, how will this dingy fit onto Duracell, how will it be moved in and out of the water? It looks like quite a big dingy. Anyhow this is a wonderful series of videos, nice job all round. Sending good energy ........Neil ☘☘😊😊
Hey Neil, there's room on the foredeck for the dinghy and we'll use a halyard to hoist it on and off. We did this on our last sailboat with our rowing/sailing dinghy and it worked well.
Sorry if you've already covered it. I don't recall. I'm puzzled by your choice of tender. It seems kinda flimsy. I wonder if when it's glassed it'll be very very strong. I think it must be very light which is a good thing but I wonder about it's integrity. Perhaps it's because Acorn to Arabella's tender was made with such intense care, professionalism and craftmanship. These tenders appear to be literally 'thrown' together in a few days with cookie cutter pieces, shoelaces and glue.
Why don't you guys use resoranal, ( I most likely spelling it wrong) , but it's a two part wood glue. Louis from tips of a shipwright uses. Louis work worked for my grandfather and my step-dad. Look up building ORCA
It would have been nice if someone mentioned how the assembly process is accomplished at home -- the average person does not have a vacuum table. What is the process when you don't have that access to a vacuum table?
I see lots of smearing with wooden sticks.... on the way home tonight swing past a dollar store and look for silicone brushes for basting food... nothing sticks to it basically... just let it dry and pull whatever you applied right off...
Pump hah. Eyeball is my world and in Chicago I'm captain over harden!! Actually many years ago had a conversation with the one of the Guegon(?) brothers about decrease in strength. Not perfect but need to know limit.
wow it's really coming along nicely together. How long do you estimate it would take you to build one by yourself? Just so I can multiply that by 300 and know how long it'd take me :)
You guys are always sticklers for PPE, but I notice that respirators aren't used. Is this due to adequate ventilation or more friendly glues and materials? Was a little worried with the pregnancy and all. Best wishes!

The “barista of resinista”! Best line, love it!
So interesting. I knew you could not go an episode w/o vacuum bagging something. :-)
I like the foam gunnels. They are always hard to bend and twist with plain wood.
Great promo for the Boat Center!
Looking at the hull shape I reckon that with a centreline dagger/centreboard and a high aspect ratio rig that dinghy would make a lively little sailing dinghy. Giving away my roots there.
A pro job fiiming, editing, and production. Nice music choices.
_D'ACORD!_
I was just thinking the filming was really good in this one. Well done Janni!
Nice, looks like a fiddly job.
You two crack me up. I love it when you catch Matt off guard 😂

Great idea with the 45 degree clamp position!
I didn’t understand how that works. Could you explain?
@@MichaelMurer Hi Mike! I think the clamp on an angle uses more of the clamps surface and spreads out its effective load over a larger distance. ( squeezes out more resin too!)
Beautifully filmed and edited, thank you.
Amazing build, Thank you. love it
I like the look of the prams hanging up on the wall. Also - nice "cable cam" work. And also, also - no cat.
Always use a notch spreader with thickened epoxy.. makes a uniform amount
What an enjoyable episode. Your video graphic skills are very good. The music was perfect for the boat building.
Gorgeous design by Turnpoint, looking forward to seeing videos of these on the water.
It is nice to see so many people working together.
Coming along nicely. Looking forward to seeing the final result. Thanks for the video 👍👍💰😁
Wonderful to see the next stages, teamwork clearly makes the dream work!
Coming along nicely. Looking forward to them hitting the water. Stay safe guys….
The "Barista of Resinista"... haha... Very good, John.!!!
I keep following and viewing past videos. Fascinating and most enjoyable. Great camera work and music. Thank you. Phil🇬🇧
İ could have watched you guys all week. Great work and the boats look amazing.
I don’t have a sailing boat but love this channel. The building of these small boats is amazing. Well done to the whole team 👍👍

Great episode! Keep rolling along Duracell Team! 👍👍
I'm only here for the jams bro. Me and the dog dig your work.
Wow, a very pro job by all..great stuff
This is such a fun project.
My 4 and 5 year old girls now want to build a boat, and they want Matt to help them🐥😜
That sounds super fun.
Esprit de corps .. well said ❤
Yay! Safety crocs.
Coming together nicely. Has any particular build number looked better than the others yet? I'm guessing they must all be pretty much the same standard as everyone is involved in each build process. Well done for keeping so calm, I would have to wrestle with my inner control freak not to start micro managing the one that was destined for me! Good job guys another great video. God bless ❤
You can see Matt’s experience and economy of motion working with the epoxy.
Cool stuff. Thx.
love the videos. lots of folks not wearing PPE. Insane to me that anyone would choose to sand epoxy and fiberglass without a respirator.
everyone was strongly advised to, but in the end it's everyone's choice
We have always called thickened epoxy with wood or fiberglass powder as peanut butter.
The deck construction was a surprise. I wonder what the weight penalty is to do that in plywood & epoxy.
Towards the end I thought, I was watching a outtro song to a moto vlogger baker x derek on RUclips. Then I look again it's just project Duracell. Which I enjoy watching both channels, loving the boating channels and motorcycle blogging channels.

If your not sure whats next. Always remember, the most important tool in the boat shop is the thinking chair..
It was amusing to see a rather pregnant looking Janne popping in and out of the some of the time lapse sequences!
I know Ginnie Jo! I was amazed by the work she did on her tri.
These past two weeks have made me want to come up to Port T and build a boat.
-bb
small world! You can take a class at the maritime center :)
That dingy looks that it would be pretty fast
Damn, Ginny has got one great sled! Those Farrier boats are sweet.
Matt Great Video as always. Pity they don't ship or have an agent in OZ. Looks interesting and fun to build. I wonder if the transom will take a small outboard as we live on a salt water lake.

Hi Jon, We have not decided on a name yet. All the names introduced are still in the running. thanks for following along!

Matt. It is awesome to see boat Builders come together and build these boats. So Matt are there different size boats being built? How is Mom & Dad Doing these Days?
There is one Scout 10 and the rest are Scout 14s.

So much fun, as always. This really makes me want to build a Scout.
I’m curious, what was untrustworthy and why couldn’t it be trusted?
The epoxy
Nussschale🎉😂😂😂
2:09 - Because there is no wood on Duracell. That is my guess.
That's the first thing that popped into my head, "Duracell isn't a wooden boat".
Oh, 'p.s.' I'm learning a lot but try n explain transom n bulk heads. thx for everything 🎉
Question. Is the Sailboat Duracell D and the Dingy Duracell AAA?
Great idea for the dingy name.
Yay the dingalingy lol

Lots of people are asking this so we’ll answer in next weeks vid
Cool
Nice work with what I can only guess is a drone. Is that a new tool for the series?
We borrowed one from one of the guys in the class
Is everyone eyeing up the nicest boat or do you draw lots as who gets what at the end?
I think what’s really going on here is Matt is auditioning all these guys to work as his assistants on Duracell
Good idea but truth is youth isn’t on their side
When will we see the big boat float?
2 years about

What are you naming the dinghy? MSN?
don't know yet!
Have you had any inspections on this dinghy yet? You need to be sure it is apurrroved.
She will be doing a final inspection on all 6 boats.
