Eagle catamaran build

- The last video I uploaded showed the singlehanded cruise of a Eagle catamaran from Germany to Norway and back.
It was a home built plywood boat and this video shows the build - as before I've shortened a longer video. It's mainly still photos, with some German subtitles but no audio as the photos are self explanatory.

Great boat !This is the first video I have seen of an Eagle being made, I really like this Wood's model.
Thanks so much for posting! I recently bought plans for the Eagle and I like seeing pictures/videos of the different builds. I know this builder extended the length. It looks like he also went with a different construction method for the stem.
yes indeed, I think because of the lengthening he ended up with a wider bow and thus thicker stempost and outer stem
Beautiful work.
The Eagle has landed, or swum in this case. This is a big boat compared to Strider. Lovely build. Thanks for posting.
Ich gratuliere, ist toll geworden!
Bin auch mit bootbauen beschäftigt, aber ein "bisschen" kleiner und ein viel einfacheres Boot, ist ein Dory, ca. 5-meter.
A quick build! The plywood route is fast. Unfortunately good plywood have become very expensive and quite hard to get here in Norway.
Did you scarf the stringers and plywood skin?
Normally you do scarf the stringers as thats easy to do in advance (but you can use buttblocks if you want) usually you use buttblocks for joining the ply sheets as scarphing on the job is harder. I don't know which method the builder used in this case, but he's obviously very skilled. (Unlike me so I'd scarph the stringers and butt block the ply panels)
How did you coat the inside?
With fiberglass?
No need to glass the inside. 2 coats of epoxy is enough. You can pigment the last layer or paint. Or leave clear epoxy. Your choice
how much money did you spend for this excluding the plans
That is always a difficult one. And usually builders "forget" how much they spent. Obviously it all depends on where you live and what deals you can find as you build. But you should get a good idea from the materials list. Plywood costs the same per sheet whatever boat you build, as does epoxy etc. Usually its possible to find a used mast and boom if you want to save money, sometimes even sails and deck gear.
@@WoodsDesigns do you think this thing can cross the ocean?
@@kestanecihasanpubg Well it would be seaworthy enough, but minimal comfort even for one person. A better choice would be one of my larger designs - still simple hard chine plywood - like my Gypsy or Saturn www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs-2/3-25ft-to-30ft-catamarans-designs/176-gypsy
@@WoodsDesigns can this build be made out of marine grade pvc foam? Or maybe just pvc foam?
