Thank you, Mr Inventor! Brilliant work! I especially appreciate the way you put the fins through the scupper holes to aid the steering - it makes perfect sense! I've been trying to figure that out for a while! Suggestion: To aid in the balance, you could strap some thick "swimming noodles" on the sides and secure them to a crossbar or through the scupper holes.
I really love this channel. Everything is tossed together like a maker salad. The channel could be called Just Good Enough, because nothing is fancy, but it works anyway, and everything looks like you could do it yourself.
Hi Rulof, nice to see you making a video again! Even tough I will never build a sail boat myself, I like watching you building and explaining things :)
your innovation with the materials available is impressive. If you could roll the sail around the mast to have more or less sail would make it safer i think so you can lower the force in aggressive winds. You need a sponsor or budget. I think you could produce some really good videos with limited funds put into kayak sail setup with some purchased hardware. enjoyed watching, hope to see more. Also it would be good to see you wear a pfd in case of any accidents.
I do not remember the exact name but was something like timone sabia - it was a rudder ‘ fai da te’ by laser boat sailors in north sardinia La Maddalena. The rudder would pivot up or kick up when it hit the sand, so it was easy to just run the boat up onto a pink beach with no damage to rudder.
It's not hard to build a swiveling rudder. All underwater fins should be NACA hydrodynamic shaped tho, as close as can be made with available tools. That's not difficult either, time consuming is all.
The idea if good, but there are some considerations. First, u need to get rid of the wooden parts. Second, the boom position must allow to be in a more confortable position, hint, Cut the sail in an angle to allow the boom to be kept in a higher position in the clue, and third: u need a retractile daggerboard. Forgot,, forth (and most important): never go to far without a paddle.
Good point about the paddle. PFD too. Dagger boards are a lousy design because will break something if hits something as a rock. 1 swivel-up bilge board far better in a kayak application.
This brings back memories. When I was 13 I converted my foam surfboard into a sail boat. Unfortunately the board didn't provide enough buoyancy to make the craft enjoyable, however it was fun to build never the less.
Rulof, you need to put the sail up higher so you don't have to go under it like that. It would also be cool if you did an update video with that and a keel on the bottom :)
Great job Rulof. You show a capable sailing kayak without spending a ton of $$. Thanx! I made vakas and amas on mine, not so much confidence of staying upright, Ha.
Hi Rulfo, How fast are you going? You look like you are having too much fun and It inspired me to make my own catamaran with two kayaks. I am trying to figure out what size of a sail I need to build a portable catamaran made with two kayaks.
Aluminium and salt water dont mix together ,unless its marine grade special aluminium.Othervise it will "rust"and be eaten away by salt.Even near salt water regular aluminium has shorter life than away from sea water.There are some other mistakes when it comes to rudder -its too long and its not wide enough ,you want a shorter but wider one ,that is thin .Door hinge is ok system to mount it just use stainless steel.We in Croatia next to you traditionaly build steering on boats from wood with 2 hinges. You wanna consider to install keel-the longitudinal structure along the centerline at the bottom of a vessel's hull, on which the rest of the hull is built, in some vessels extended downward as a blade or ridge to increase stability. Most of sailboats have it.
Add 2 sealed pvc pipe on each side of the boat, like a trimaran or even better (smaller), make the tube assembly slide laterally. Or one sealed pvc pipe you can rotate from one side to the other, below the kayak, perhaps even using the mast/sail to do the rotating,
I really enjoyed this video just like i have enjoyed all of your videos i love your ideas and you always do great work keep up the passion man you do amazing work.
Huge thumbs up for the effort! very nice project! did the sail fell off when you fall? I'd suggest securing it with something :) maybe look at the connection between the sail and the board on a windsurfing board, it snaps together
Hey man I have a fishing kayak and I was wonder if you ever thought about building a power pole Micro anchor I want one but they cost 1000$+ dollars love your videos thanks man
Nice job. Could be more refined but works 😉👌 With sail it's that? I have a windsurf sail that have lost some parts and could re-use it... But its a 5m2 and it's to big for my kayak, a Perception Scooter. Keep enjoying your hobbies 💪
did you make your sail? You explained how to make the mast and the mounting, but what about the sail? Without the sail, the rest is really kind of pointless.

Dude! Where do you live?! I've seen a few of your videos that you have tested in the water and they are beautiful. WHEREVER it is, you are a lucky man.

Anche io live in Italy too and can confirm Sardinia is one of the most beautiful spots for seashores in the whole Mediterranean.
Grande, bel lavoro!

You get a sub for the " holding selfie stick/sailing/while laying down all at the same time"
Hi Rulof, nice to see you making a video again! Even tough I will never build a sail boat myself, I like watching you building and explaining things :)
yes i know wat you mean. i love Diy videos in general... :)
Rulof Maker Your way of speaking and Italian accent is also very nice to listen to :)
cool! love your camera work too
I was supposed to comment “You look stupid”, but after watching the whole video and listening to what you’ve done- I would say you’re a genius.
Wow awesome! Like your rig mod kayak sail great video!😎👍 ⛵️

Take two kayaks and build a catamaran! :D
Hahahhaha or a trimaran with two surf boards
Rulof Fai da Te u need three for a trimaran

1 swivel-up bilge board far better in a kayak application.
how did you keep the two black dagger boards stable if they are going through the skupper holes? Thank you!
Awesome brother! Thanks for passing on awesome footage and knowledge
This brings back memories. When I was 13 I converted my foam surfboard into a sail boat. Unfortunately the board didn't provide enough buoyancy to make the craft enjoyable, however it was fun to build never the less.
*"I don't like to get tired, as you can see from my belly."* 😀 💖👌🏼
tambirane I noticed it keeps getting bigger. At least he has a sense of humor about it.
Rulof, you need to put the sail up higher so you don't have to go under it like that. It would also be cool if you did an update video with that and a keel on the bottom :)
Fantastic! You should make outriggers or pontoons so this thing is more stable! I love the timelapse of you going in circles.
you are awesome and got an instant thumb up after your comment about having a big belly because you don't like getting tired.
Great job Rulof. You show a capable sailing kayak without spending a ton of $$. Thanx! I made vakas and amas on mine, not so much confidence of staying upright, Ha.
How do you come up with the idea to build these different things? What I mean is what gives you the idea?
i have a lot of hobbies.. and passions.. and i don't like to spend money... that's why i love to make things by my self.. !
very good. i really like your work! your baot is super fun!
Hi Rulof, nice video man! nice to see you again in another project
another nice piece of creative work , rulof ....keep it up with ur talent show rulof..a;ways looking forward on ur new projects...chao chao
Hi Rulfo, How fast are you going? You look like you are having too much fun and It inspired me to make my own catamaran with two kayaks. I am trying to figure out what size of a sail I need to build a portable catamaran made with two kayaks.
I really enjoy your Videos espacialy all the water related DIY's! Good work and keep the vids coming :)
patreon his channel ;)
5:45 muy buena tu idea para las orzas en los agujeros de los imbornales!!!
(Have you explained somethimg more about that, in another video?
Hi Rulof I like you kayak good job
Rulof has right, i was on the Corsica there is beautiful sea. and a lot of place to diving. see ya
muito obrigado por compartilhar suas idéias loucas!!! eu gosto muito! grande abraço amigo!
yaaay! another video!
I always wanted to know where you were in Italy. I have family in Lecce and I have been there many times. Sardinia looks beautiful.
hey rulof you should connect the rudder to pedals
This is great! Thanks for posting!
How do you keep the center boards from rotating in the scubber holes?
So sick i love your video
Hey, you make so much cool things, my comliment for your spirit and humore! 😊💯👍
use OBS Studio, it does not cost money and it's good qualty and easy to use :)
WOOOOOW*** Nice Video !!! I loved ! MrHANDWERK
Very Inspirational!
Nice haircut ! :)
That looks realy fun, well done :o)
Is it possible to make an efficient DIY sail?
Yup but hardwork
yeah, It is easy, I can explain if you want

Never know that! Thanks! The alluminum Was from an old Sun bed.. Don't know if Was triten
zumbazumba1 + Video shows his craft performing very well, so rudder and center-of-resistance fins must be just fine.
Do you really think this guy gives a shit. He'll fix it once it corrodes. Lol! Household parts remember.
Add 2 sealed pvc pipe on each side of the boat, like a trimaran or even better (smaller), make the tube assembly slide laterally.
Or one sealed pvc pipe you can rotate from one side to the other, below the kayak, perhaps even using the mast/sail to do the rotating,
I really enjoyed this video just like i have enjoyed all of your videos i love your ideas and you always do great work keep up the passion man you do amazing work.
Looks like you had so much fun! Great idea! What did you name your new sailboat Rulof?
Hasn't got a name yet... Sailyak... :)
Campione Rulof! Hai provato a renderlo una piroga con due galleggianti? Perchè senza bulbo è dura tenerlo dritto! Ciao!
Huge thumbs up for the effort! very nice project! did the sail fell off when you fall? I'd suggest securing it with something :) maybe look at the connection between the sail and the board on a windsurfing board, it snaps together
Hey man! How nice to see your inventions... nice to see you are a barefooter like me either... 👣😆
add pontoons on the side for stability and thanks for the help on this progect
ruolf is here
"big black screws"
lol
bbs
When you're ready to add an outrigger kit to your sailing kayak, check out Expandacraft. Lots of options and far more stability.
Cool ! Thanks for the video ;)
This Baot is awesome
Hey man I have a fishing kayak and I was wonder if you ever thought about building a power pole Micro anchor I want one but they cost 1000$+ dollars love your videos thanks man
Привет! Ты хороший мастер!!!
Nice job. Could be more refined but works 😉👌
With sail it's that? I have a windsurf sail that have lost some parts and could re-use it... But its a 5m2 and it's to big for my kayak, a Perception Scooter.
Keep enjoying your hobbies 💪
make a trimaran, them you dont need lay to the sides to compensate the wind force! nice project
That looks like a small kayak for such a big guy. How much do you weigh? I'm looking for the cheapest kayak I can find and I weigh about 125 kilos.
This reminds me of an Alcott Sunfish boat, you should probably put a jam kleet on the side
You look and sound creative and intelligent, why don't you check out the proa designs
Rulof pls teach us how to make a go cart
Nice job :-)
This design is good but the the boat is so small for you ,so I think this size is not for you
I know... I'm a Big boy :)
did you make your sail? You explained how to make the mast and the mounting, but what about the sail? Without the sail, the rest is really kind of pointless.
cool bro
how many mt2 is your sail boat sail?
This is amazing. Are you a industrial or product designer?

Very very very nice videos but i think it is a little bit hard to make them...
The low sail looks dangerous for you. Can you build it higher so there is no need to position your body in such a way? NICE VIDEO.
Could you show how to make the sail?
You should put cleats on both sides of the kayak so u don't have to hold the rope.
Bravissimo... Anche l'inglese...
Maybe ad one or two floaters not too long like a trimaran for stability
lol looks hard to handle, try attaching a pvc pipe on either side as out riggers and it will sail 100 times eaier
Dude! Where do you live?! I've seen a few of your videos that you have tested in the water and they are beautiful. WHEREVER it is, you are a lucky man.
Victor, that is Sardinian sea, you know, the second Italian island "Sardegna"
Sail? You made that too?
you should make some pontoons so its more stabil :D
makes me feel better about the fact that I'm a fat guy in a kayak too!
Does anyone know where I can find the right material to make a sail?
Or just where I can buy one
Witty Owl buy a kite the big ones works similar
You should add an outrigger to it
Good job looks uncomfortable?
Cool! man at his most resourcefu,l and perhaps too much time on his hands.
I did this last year and during my cruise I decided to jump into the ocean and the damn thing ran away from me. I never saw that kayak again lol
Wow that eye piercing, are you going goth on us?
nice
Bigger Kayaks, and add a jib and spinnaker
Muy buena tu idea te copio
hehe well done
Very cool but it looks incredibly uncomfortable. Too small of a kayak
Where does he live
Italy :D
what country
italy... sardinia
you should use a flat bottom john boat. your boat is not stable enough for your rigging.
Good job but aren't you uncomfortable?
Perchè fai video in inglese ora?
Questo è il canale dove carica alcuni video ridoppiati in inglese
ok
make bigger keel so you don't tip over so much (falling down):
Your kayak is gonna flip a lot 😂 the proper way to make sail is low and long like a rectangle so the kayak don't flip with strong wind
not easy) but cool
