Hi Teo, I am so disappointed that you are not off the starting line yet ...... I got my framing timber yesterday and My Okoume marine ply delivered today. This is not my first build but I was hoping to follow your build to maybe snitch any good ideas. I started the mark up of the ply this afternoon and i am racing now to get as much done during this fantastic weather that we are getting right now in Cyprus where I live. My last project (a rescued rotten wooden Wayfarer) has turned out pretty heavy, and at 76 years old, I need a boat I can launch and recover off a concrete ramp in biggish waves without needing any help. I have done a lot of sailing videos over the years (Michael Appleby - Sailing Water Music) but I have not document my last two builds in Cyprus. I am hoping to slow myself down a bit to do a video of the Goose build.
Hi Michael, I have ordered the Paulownia timber and got the Epoxy resin already. Next is the plywood which I will get by end of this month. I can not start the build before January. During my GIS build I worked an average of 100 hours every month on that build but this time around I can't do that nor do I want to. I want a more relaxed approach to the build this time. Not that the GIS build was too intense but I will go slower this time around. or I think I will.... 😁
@@TheBoatRambler OK, no worries. I am in a hurry to make the most of our current good weather. After 3 full days of work I have the 4 hull side panels cut out. It's all easy from now on. I am lucky that everything I need is available and cheap here in Cyprus, even in my local rural town.... good choice of framing lumber and Ekoume marine ply no problem. I get good quality epoxy for 25 euros per kilogram from a big importer, he also has epoxy primers and polyurethane paints....happy days.🙂
Looking forward to it. I'm sure i saw the Goose (or something similar) in a link from a book of plywood boat plans for smaller boats as a suggestion of "what to build next" . It's an ugly gosling, sure enough, but i bet it goes like stink! Could do with a car toppable camping dinghy myself, but i don't think I'm strong enough to get anything bigger than a surfboard on my Opel Meriva - it's as high as a van!
Teo how about a light weight mast ? A bamboo outer with a carbon fiber inner. No need for it to be expensive a second hand mast from a wind surfer and a bamboo pole from the garden center, or even free from a friends garden?. Plenty of videos on Utube to show you how to flatten out the bamboos rings and cut out the pith internally. Epoxy the carbon or GRP spa into the bamboo and when set fill the hollow with expanding foam.providing a light weight floating mast. Of course the other thing that provides good hollow poles are those really long sectional fishing poles and the sectional handles tree surgeons use for trimming high up in the canopy from the ground. the other benefit of a really light mast is that it can be longer ?? taller.
I have an old wind surf mast set aside for my own personal dinghy. I am just going to polish it up and leave it as is. I like keeping everything above the center of gravity as light as possible, and everything down low on the heavy side.
The Goose mast is really light, I don't think I'll be needing anything lighter tbh. The Box mast also has an advantage over the carbon masts (on the GIS) it has a lot more volume and provides 13Liters of buoyancy when capsized preventing the boat from turtling. The yard and boom on my GIS are 70% carbon and I still have two windsurf mast tips for another yard. Although there is one disadvantage of the carbon yard, it's a bit stiffer than the wooden one which it's supposed to bend with stronger gusts to spill the excessive wind.
Can't reply you through buy me a coffee...I'm building a Ebihen 18 from Vivier...Before i convert a lifeboat hull to gaff rig, its in Seixal. Pawlonia boards, composed, from Spain...I've a couple of quotes
Hi Nuno, That is a really nice boat. 💪 I have just received my paulownia boards. I got them from PaulowniaPro in Spain and it only took 3 days to get here. Have not opened the box yet , gonna wait and do it on camera soon! 😁

Your GOAT build was terrific! As I am sure this will be too. Looking forward to it!☕☕☕☕
Thanks Andy! I believe this build will be a bit different but we'll see! 😉
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
Hello from Argentina! Looking forward for this project. I’m convincing myself to build one. Waiting to use your videos. Cheers
Go for it! 😁
Don't forget to enjoy the holidays.
I enjoy everyday. Living every week waiting for the weekend to have fun is wishing your life away! 😉

Hi Kirsty!
I can't get the Goose up in the roof rack alone either, not without some contraption. But I'll find a way! 😅
Being small has other advantages when sailing - at least so I keep telling myself!

@@sailorstu Nice one Stu I love a bit of repurposing.

Alô! Brasil aqui! Escolhi esse projeto pra eu construir e aprender a velejar! Can't wait!
Já não falta muito! 😉
I am eager to see you starting OZ Goose dinghy! You inspired me to build my own. So, I will follow you on RUclips and learn from you. Thanks!
Awesome! go for it and remember to have fun while at it! 😉
Can't wait.
Hi Teo,
Let's go !

Is Paulownia suitable for a mast?
Hi,
I have no idea tbh, never used Paulownia before.
