How to build a Plywood boat using the stich and glue method

Thanks for making a good diy video. You have inspired a 73 year old in Thailand to follow. Happy sailing
I love how you added action clips between chapters to give a break to the well narrated time lapse
What a great thing to have achieved! In dinghy racing we would add a strap (like car seat belt) very securely attached along the bottom of the boat to hook our feet under. These are ‘hiking’ or ‘toe’straps, and help you to lean your weight further out to keep the boat upright. We also use a tiller extension attached to the end of the tiller by a universal joint (best kind are flexible plastic). it takes a little getting used to but this would really help get your weight in the right place. Kudos for kite surfing - you obviously know waves better than me. Your friend looks a bit unsure though!
He also did a great job nearly knocking his dog out or killing him in the capsize test at thirty six thirty four.
I was just about to say add hiking straps and a tiller extension lol
Yeah same I was also thinking about a vang system
The best how to video on you tube on building a boat. Thank you!
One of the top 100 best videos on YT.. absolutely superb.
Such passion and perseverance! Loved every second of the build. Big compliments on how well you've balanced voice-over and music!
Well ... you got me at the end ... " if you actually watched this entire video than you might actually be crazy enough to build your own...." thank you for sharing :)
Totally hilarious how the dog moves around the work shop. So cute.
My brother built an 8 foot sailboat when he was 15 or 16. We built it in the basement of our house. We worked on it from October to March. Ended up making the dagger board larger and the water coming out of the dagger board hold was a surprise. We were luck to have a dad that was willing to help when we were stuck. Nice boat you made it really flies. Everyone needs to sail in a small sailboat. How you sit so low to the water and with the wind blowing your off it is just a different perspective you never seen before. Be safe and good luck
I’ve raced small dinghies most of my life, been a champ many times and I’m here to say if you build a dinghy with high freeboard you will find it very hard to sail upwind. Simply there is air pressure on the hull blowing you sideways and your progression upwind on either port or starboard will make it a hard trip.
Well done! The method was clearly presented. I am sure some could find issues here and there but for the many tasks and choices you had to make I think you showed the viewers a path to building that yielded a truly capable boat without the need for absolute perfection in every detail but also where you felt the extra attention was needed. That was the lesson I took from this. Thank you!
I am indeed crazy enough and am currently building a boat! We have to stop during winter here in Quebec but eager to get going again. Congrats on the build, you leave in a wonderful place, must be a blast to sail over there!
I'm a sailor ,(40' beneteau oceanis), who has been tired of his inflatable hard bottom dinghy for some time. I've often pondered making a sailing dinghy as a replacement. I found you video b inspiring, informative, and fun to watch.
Great editing and directing. I know from experience how much work went into just making the video not to mention the behind the scenes work on the boat. Well done !
Is a 40 footer big enough for a dinghy like this?
Awesome documentation of your project. I built a canoe several years ago just like this. Since then I've wanted to build a small sailboat. This is inspiring. I also like how you included footage of the finished product on the water. Excellent!
What a great project. I have seen a number of boatbuilding projects online and IRL that were either incomplete or didn't sail well. It's an inspiration to see your project come to fruition with a boat that you actually sail hard and enjoy. That design planes wonderfully.
I have had several fiberglass sailboats. All have been old and needed repair or modification. After a couple years off the water I am starting to get that feeling again.
So much fun watching this. I've been sailing for 57 years. In 1968 I build a little 8' hydroplane with plywood, fiberglass and epoxy. Mine was simple and not nearly as well done as your boat. If I were younger now and not set to sell our house within the next few years, I'd love to build the same one that you completed here. I sail now, with my grandson mostly, at a sailing club on a city lake on a 22.5' Pearson Ensign keel boat. WELL DONE. Watching you in the surf is sure fun, but I would probably chicken out.
I’ve owned17 or 18Boats so far and i’m a retired professionalWoodworker this little boat is a damn good looking boat because of the “Lines “ of the design and overall shape i watch RUclips for entertainment and ideas and i like this one quite a bit as the boat you built would also be a excellent Dinghy for a bigger Vessel to Pull or put onto David’s those compartments or watertight areas would be a great place to put Floatation Foam to give the boat a little extra safety in the event of swamping etc BTW Dagger board single Sail Boats are lots of Fun they are also a fantastic way to,learn the basics of Sailing i used one to teach my children and i explained that if they can Sail the 8 footer they would be capable of Sailing almost any boat i’ve lost count on how many times i’ve crossed the Gulfstream over the years on boats going and returning from the Bahamas to Florida where i also lived for many years Oh BTW the Skeg is actually designed to act as a Keel,or Counter balance to the force the wind applies at the Sail without one the boat would just get blown accross the top of the water in what ever direction the Wind is blowing the Skeg allows you have controll of the boat in any direction but most importantly Tacking so you are capable of Sailing into the Wind i do want to add for a first timer using Fiberglass and Epoxy you did a nice job Fairing the hull folks might give you Lip or grief about using House Paint but don’t pay them much attention it’s fine and works well i know a Gentleman with a Sailing Yaht he built in the 1970s and used Sears Exterior House paint instead of Marine i beleive he commissioned the boat in1972 and it still looked fine in the mid 90s having a good Boat Dog and good looking Lady or Crewmate as you said is essential for good Sailing you might be able to increase your Sail size a easy task if you buy a Industrial Walking Foot Sewing machine from Ebay they are a Chines Clone of the Consew machine that changed the Industry on Sailmaking and Upholstery it’s also the same design of Sailrite Machines with a lower price tag i’ve owned and used one for over 25 years and it still works fine i am not a Professional but just a Hobbyist at sewing Marine Projects for myself and freinds in the Marina plus occasional Automotive Interiors for my personal Vintage Sports Cars i collect and drive
rip english.
Brings back both memories and inspiration. I built a Karl Stambaugh Windward 15 in my 20s, and I'm in my 50s now. I recently erected a cheap shelter in my backyard to store/restore that old boat. The Windward 15 was not built stitch-and-glue, but probably should have been. It was built with plywood bent over frames. I also used butt-joints rather than scarf joints, because I was young and impatient. True fact: Young and impatient trumps old and lazy every day. Congrats on a beautiful build, and thanks for sharing.
You did a beautiful job building and it was a very enjoyable video to watch.
Inspiring- I just left my job and have been aching to get back into the woodworking/metalworking shop and/or haul out my old lathe and sell it to make some room in the garage- now I know what I'm gunna spend the proceeds on! 2 months of crafting and under a G for a solid couple's sailing dinghy is good numbers in my book.
That’s gotta be the best diy builder I’ve ever seen
Your video is a total inspiration for sure, even if I’ve already worked on several boat projects before, you gave me new ideas. Thanks for sharing, you’ve done a great job.
Great work!! The perseverance that you had was obviously fueled by your passion to be on the water. I appreciate your pursuit of safety and integrity. I hope you build another one and it's even better and easier!
not only did you make a great boat, but you also made a great video showing how you built it. thank you
Was wonderful to watch your patience, dedication, creativity and precision! And what a wonderful, fun and versatile result. Great job!
I started watching the video thinking "well, that would be a nice to do if I finally move back to Cabarete", then I saw the master of the ocean t-shirt and yep, everything makes sense.
Great work there! congratulations
38:24 - the smiles on your faces are priceless! Awesome stuff, thank you for sharing
Wow, you did a great job, what a process. The dinghy looks fun to sail.
You are to be commend on a great job!!
The time lapse of the entire project was spot on.
I am inspired to undertake this on. As I have wanted to do so, just was unsure if I had all the tools to do so.
It appears I do.. and what I don't have, I can purchase.
I especially appreciated that you improvised on the extension of the boom. And that you formed and made the boom fork.
I believe I also noticed that you made the mast rings for your main sail
Great job all around.
Thanks so much for sharing this project, and allowing us to dream through your efforts.
From Oklahoma USA ❤️
Awesome video man! Much respect for completing the entire build and having fun afterwards. I've had the building bug for a while now and really enjoy watching people build these. Maybe I'll take a stab at building one during this upcoming winter in Canada while I'm spending a lot of time indoors. I'll be debating it
Great job. I built a 16’ ski boat. I could not get the smile off my face. I know you are proud.
Awesome build! Looks amazing and you did a fantastic job. Don't forget to name it, all good boats need a name!
Incredible and inspirational! You have now added this project to my retirement bucket list! Thank you and I hope you're enjoying it!
Watched all 38:30 of it and enjoyed every second.
You did a very nice job on that boat and threw together this video production too.
I appreciate the upload and learned a lot. Thank you.
I've built smaller versions before but I really liked your build. Got me thinking about building a bigger one!
Just purchased Bolger's Cartopper plans from instant boats. My dad and I built this same kind of boat back in 94, and still have it in Texas. I'm building this one out here in San Diego to have fun in the bay.
AWesome video! 2 months is faster than I thought. It would take me years to even start building. Looks like you're having a great time on it too.Thanks for sharing!
Thank you guys for reinvigorating me, I am going down to my workshop to get back into my Jim young design 3.3 meter stitch and tape dingy. its been gathering dust for a few months.
Really enjoyed the whole thing, the boat build , instruction and tips, video and sailing clips.
Thanks for sharing 👍.
Extremely impressive. The only thing I would’ve done differently would be to fill the watertight voids with closed cell foam to prevent them from becoming waterlogged but the inspection hatches you installed really accomplish the same thing. My fantasy project would be building a giant 36 foot square backed motor canoe/house boat out of ferrocement but the principal is the same no matter the size or the type of hull.
Looks very fast for the size - nice hull shape!!
Fantastic build - and what a great and inspiring video!! Thank you for making it!
very impressive build! The boat looks great and is giving me all kinds of inspiration. Thank you so much for share such a well made video!
Awesome build man, your very creative. The sanding and epoxy were super satisfying to watch, although probably the most tedious for you! Great video
Really enjoyed watching the whole process from start to finish. Another nudge to get me started. Thank you and best wishes
very nice indeed, and with the kite is nice with lots of wind, impresive.
Have you started yet friend? :P
Brilliant! This is awesome! and I wish you many great adventures on this boat! The video quality, like the boat, is amazing! Happy sailing
this is one of the best diy boats ive ever seen!, great editing too!
Outstanding Sir! I'd say you inspired a lot of people to give it a go...I love what you have achieved with the tools/materials available
I love the shots of sailing in the surf.
You build a fun sailingboat.
Wow! This is so much better than I could have done. I haven't built a boat yet, but this video gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks for putting this documentary together.
Watched every second...yes I'm building my own. Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Something about smiling just draws me in so much.
Thank you for your beautiful project.
I hope to learn how to sail
I'm impressed. A guy with no tools and no woodworking skills successfully builds a dingy. You should know that I'm a cabinet maker so that is praise indeed. One thing that I would certainly have done is to fill those water tight compartments with foam. Having said that I don't know anything about boats but I do understand maths and physics.
Very nice build and not many issues along the way, you should be proud! I have been missing my 14ft fishing boat since I sold it just before pandemic. Had I known I would have kept it since I am not an essential worker and had a lot of free time on my hands. Prices of plywood have gone crazy in my area, but still feeling like building another boat. I miss being out on the water more than I thought I would. Guess I have to start looking through boat plans for one I like!
Brilliant achievement. Much more fun to be had from a small boat that you built yourself.
You did careful research on EXACTLY the kind of boat you wanted to build and put a ton on thought on HOW to build it. Then put the work in. You did real good on this one. The good editing, music and commentary made this rather long video very watchable. Nice work on your part, thanks for sharing...
Thanks for the nice comment. Have a nice day!
What a nice and inspirational video! Congratulations on the neat boat. I dream of learning how to sail this had me motivated towards building my own boat.
Congratulations on the build. Doing it in only two months is incredible. I admire your focus and productivity.
The 2 months is incredible, I built a Chesapeake 17 kayak (from CLC boats) and it was supposed to take 40 hours. Took me 4 to 10 hours per day for a whole summer.
Nice! I’m glad that you left the gunwales unpainted. Looks great!
In the eye of the builder... an old saying that still stands true... luv ya work, accurate with great mastery of the chemicals... well done...!!
from an old boat builder... Txx
Thanks for taking the time to make this video on top of all the other stuff you had to do.
This is the most impressive garage build I've ever seen in Yotube.
Well done!
If you want to make really fast and accurate templates for custom sized panels, hot-glue tongue compressors together chained in series to the outline of the space to be paneled. It gets you really close! Some minor trimming and it fits right in!
I guess i will never build a boat but thank you for the interesting and enjoyable 39 minutes.
Lol I hear ya RonRon. Great video but I was exhausted at the end.
Lol
What an amazing project, I would recommend making a tiller extension arm to make it easier to sail and be able to use it more efficiently
Thanks for the tip!
I was looking for a boat making video and found your time lapse video today. I was really thankful. Then watched one bye one and finally here. It will be really useful for me. Thanks alot. Love from india.
Very cool! People who build stuff with their own hands have my fullest respect.
Wow that was awesome, seriously well done. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole video.
This project and your determination gives me faith in your generation! Excellent work young man!
Loved your story telling 👍 Also really appreciated your no-frills, problem solving 👏👏
I'm in love with your cat 😍😍, now seriously, I Found your video very fun to watch, it's amazing see the boat taking form, it was inspiring, may ve some day I gather the courage to make one, I'm a novice in Woodworking , but now that I wachted your video the idea got stuck in My mind ☺️☺️
I have a Finn-dinghy, 4.5 m long and 1.60 wide. On the tiller I have an extension, allowing the pilot to sit on different places, but still steering the boat....Recommended. Tiller extensions come in different lengths, some two alu tubes, which can stick by turning at any lenght....I have one such on my 7 meter wooden double ender, and its endlessly useful....
Thank you for sharing this. Really enjoyed the whole story
Great video sir. Clear narrations and information on how to DIY a very cool boat. Stay safe and enjoy the seas and sails.
Awesome video, well put together and very informative, thanks for documenting it so well!
this is super impressive, and i know you mentioned it in the video, but please invest in some respiratory PPE, all of that sanding and fiberglass work is super dangerous for your lungs and can lead to lung cancer. one project shouldn't be to big of a deal, but for the future you really need to invest in a nice mask. PEE is something you can never spend to much on. I don't mean to devalue your work though, its super impressive and really cool!
What an amazing build and a beautiful sailing dinghy at the end. Your video is exceptionally well made and definitely inspiring. Thank you.
These videos give me the confidence to attempt projects, that I probably shouldn't. Thanks for sharing.
Прекрасная работа. Вы молодцы, отличная команда! 👏
Gunwale is pronounced as gunnel. An old english pronunciation that is used by sailors to this day. Nice boat! I liked the creative way you repurposed items to cut cost of the build.
Nice! Looks like a mini Windmill or super Opti - both originally plywood dinghys designed by Clark Mills and built by the thousands.
I'm inspired and just crazy enough to build my own boat...! Having floated many hundreds of miles in my old fiberglass drift boat on Pacific Northwest rivers, I know what I want and what I don't!... Thanks for a great video. I will also check out the links.
Whoah! I was wondering what happened after your folk's Wharram Catamaran adventure! That documentary you made of it is my inspiration building my boat as well. From a fellow New Jerseyan (Now in Maryland).
Amazing! Thanks so much for the effort to create and share this process with an engaging video.
Nice job.
I built a little paddle duck racer (PDR) boat in my classroom over COVID lockdown (I'm a teacher ^^) and this video brought back a lot of memories. Very similar construction but quite a different boat. Mine will never surf down waves as well as yours, but I'd also have to try a LOT harder to capsize it. :)
Flipping fantastic. I suspect you will get years of joy out that boat. Keep it out of the sun!
WOW, Great video I watched the whole video. also to have built it in 2 months is incredible, thanks for showing every step of the way aswel
Hello from France , Great work, love the spirit of doing it yourself !!! BRAVO !!!
Hope yesteryears i make a house boat for fishing and for all seasons also. Watching from philippibes until end with no skip adds.
excellent build and excellent video! Music was appropriate and not overwhelming the voiceover and the fun had by the crew is evident. Well played!
Fantastic job. Thank you for posting the process of building your boat. It's beautiful.
Your boat and this video are a testament to your sense of adventure and problem solving abilities. I really enjoyed watching you create. Cheers.
Great video.... you are blessed with the patience of an angel.... well done. I totally enjoyed watching from start to finish. Col. UK.
I did watch the entire video: Superb presentation, organization, workmanship, and so entertaining! I helped my Dad build a similar boat 50 years ago, with similar passion, experience, and results. Thanks x 1,000,000
Nice! My Dad also built a boat. Its a lot of fun. Cheers!
Wow... cool project. I built a rowing dinghy-- Jimmy Skiff -- using the stitch and glue method. I well appreciate the mess fiberglass makes (ugh). That was a fun boat to make. I used a kit from a company up in Annapolis, MD called Chesapeake Light Craft. Good people to work with. Congratulations on your new boat and thanks for a well narrated and edited video.
This was an awesome video. I build model ships and am thinking about transitioning into something bigger... This might have convinced me, especially knowing that it cost you only about double what a ship kit costs and about a quarter of the time!
13:50. I feel your challenge in cutting panels that fit just right. Suggestion: My method is to make a template out of stiff cardboard, or really thin plywood (common name: Door Skin, about 1/8" thick... or maybe 5mm). Then trace the template over your permanent panel.
Making two panels may seem like double work, but the time saved with forming door skin makes up for it.
Also, if a mistake is made, cheap doorskin is easy to replace compared to expensive ply.
.
Love your idea of making peanut butter epoxy with sawdust. Brilliant. I never thought of that !
Thanks for the good tips!
I’ve never seen a boat build without clamps! Nicely done!
Beautiful! Well done - and a joy to watch!
Awesome project! Awesome video. Congrats on such a great execution! Thanks for sharing!
