I don't know if you'd have time, but if you could make a video talking about your experience building, outfitting, and of course sailing it I would love to watch and hear your about your experience. Thanks so much for the time lapse, too!
It may be a little while, but I'll see what I can put together on the build. I don't have the boat right now. Katy Stuart (R2AK Team Razzle Dazzle) has it to use it in the 2021 R2AK.
@@dougshoup593 awesome you're letting someone use it for the race!! Best of luck to their team!! Thanks for the reply, and congrats again on you're beautiful boat.
It handles and performs well. The heaviest conditions I've been I was running a full Mizzen aft and a small sail forward (reverse of normal ketch setup) and still maintaining 7-9 KTS. The boat handled the conditions without any issues. The Ama's are small but the design has them constantly driving upward in the water. I was impressed with how well they worked. Space is tight, but definitely expedition capable.
Hello Doug. I'm about to start the SailCruiser build. Researching to make final choice on mast/sail selection. It would be helpful to draw upon your experience with your set up and product selection. I too am sailing the San Juan Islands area and have some concern with the lack of easy reef ability given the variable wind/wave conditions. I'm tempted to set it up with the Hobie TI mast and sail, but I've yet to see anyone actually sailing with that configuration.
Hola amigo, podrías decirme cuál fui el valor de esta belleza? Vengo siguiendo hace tiempo al constructor, pero luego me incliné por fabricar un kayak , algo parecido al ProFisha 5,75 , totalmente en multilaminado naval de cedro puro. Actualmente estoy construyendo su maqueta para introduzir los câmbios que desejo hacer pero...sigo con la idea fija del modelo que acabas de comprar y armar. Es una belleza y muy apto para las aguas de Lucena, Paraíba, Brasil, donde vivo a 30 metros del mar. No se si con la situación actual del covid-19 realizam entregas, más para Brasil , pero tener una idea de precio de este modelo completo es importante saberlo, como tambien tu opinion sobre las prestaciones de esta b elleza. Muchas gracias.
Hi Rodolfo, I didn't keep real good track of what I put into the boat. I would guess with the pre-cut kit supplies, rigging, and oars, I'm around 7K into materials. This was the first boat I've built and made some mistakes along the way which ended up in my buying some items and materials I didn't end up using. It is really a great little boat and was a lot of fun to build. I did deviate in a few areas from the original plans. It is well designed and everything is in it's place for a reason. Every change I made had some impact on another area, some good some not so good. I'm researching and planning on building another modified one. I'd like to build one with a little longer cockpit and incorporate a pedal drive.
Hola Rodolfo, no hice un buen seguimiento de lo que puse en el bote. Supongo que con los suministros de kit precortado, aparejos y remos, estoy alrededor de 7K en materiales. Este fue el primer bote que construí y cometí algunos errores en el camino que terminaron en la compra de algunos artículos y materiales que no terminé usando. Es realmente un gran bote y fue muy divertido de construir. Me desvié en algunas áreas de los planes originales. Está bien diseñado y todo está en su lugar por una razón. Cada cambio que hice tuvo algún impacto en otra área, algunos buenos, otros no tan buenos. Estoy investigando y planeando construir otro modificado. Me gustaría construir uno con una cabina un poco más larga e incorporar una unidad de pedal.
@@dougshoup593 , muy interesante tu observacíon. Quedando desde ya agradecido recibe mi afetuoso saludo. Ah, olvidaba...soy un apasionado por la pesca y el remo, por eso mi interés en una embarcación com esas características.
@@dougshoup593 Nice! Thank you for sharing. 7k materials? wow, kit is 2k. Must be nice rigging. There was one for sale, 3500 for full rig and aluminum trailer. I messaged too late. He used sails from other boats laying around.
@@EdsPlace Glad you enjoyed the video. $3500 would have been an incredible deal without the trailer. There are areas and ways to save some money but I don't see any way of coming close to that price for the build. It all adds up fast when you have the kit, Fiberglass and resin, Sliding Seat, Oars, Sails, Rigging, Additional lumber (kit doesn't have everything), hardware, and consumables. Hopefully you'll find another one available.

Hello mate please give me sais
So, what did you think of how it performed and was it “livable” would you cruise on her? Any thoughts on the short amas?

Dominic, I'd be more than happy to talk to you about the build. You can contact me on IM or call.
Thank you for the wonderful video.I am almost 6 feet and seven inch toll and I am interested in how long is a cockpit or sleeping area ?
Sven, The Cockpit is 6' 6" long. It would be a tight fit for you.
Thank you for the updated video. Would love to see more sailing footage.
I'll get some out, but it will take a while. Katy Stuart (R2AK Team Razzle Dazzle) has the boat right now. She will be using it in the 2021 R2AK.
