Skiffs Are Awesome

- It's amazing how a simple boat can change one's life! This video shows pretty much what my channel is all about, and to be honest my life too, to a certain extent. I have spent the most amazing last couple of years sailing the rivers and estuaries aboard my awesome skiff Forager, a Goat Island Skiff that I built in 2019 during lockdown. She literally changed my life...

Long time no video, hope you and yours are well.
Hi Ben!! Thanks for asking!
We are all ok. I have been so busy with my Ocean Skipper certification that I haven't been able to edit any videos.
I do have some footage but no time to sort it all out.
I 'll have my final test on the 3rd and 4th of December and after that I'll should start sailing/editing again!
Cheers,
Teo
@@TheBoatRambler Good luck with the exams! Does that mean you will be ocean sailing? You will need a bigger boat!
@@TheBoatRambler Many thanks for pinning the comment but now I can't correct the spelling mistakes I have made! ;)
@@BensWorkshop 😁😂 Try now 😁
@@TheBoatRambler Many thanks, that worked!
I admire your ability to not only live your adventures, but also record, edit and share them. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Thanks for your support István!! 😉
Really nice video! it will be good for convincing my family that a GIS is the right boat for our summer house on the west coast of France.
Hi André.
the GIS is a great boat, set a reef or two on that sail and you could sail a storm, I've done it! 😁
If you want a fast, more stable boat, easier to cartop, really versatile boat...have a look at the OZ Goose.

As usual, a thoroughly enjoyable adventure! Always equally impressed with Forager’s seaworthiness, and your ability to push her to the limits! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Dennis! 😉
Great insta 360 footage again, love being on your journeys cheers Paul- "SailingKate Louise"
Thanks for your support Paul! 😉
Awesome, been fun watching all your videos from build, upgrades, sailing adventures and regattas. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for your support Norm!! 😉
I can repeat all the comments here, it is faster to underscribe them all!
Love it, love it and did i mention love sailing tooo! Regards, Paul. (Wind is maybe ok here, but it is raining continiously)
Thanks for all your support Paul! 😉
This looks like fun times a million! Never heard of them before, but I'm loving the Goat Island Skiff! They take me back to sailing simple dinghies many years ago. Wonderful looking boats. Subscribed on the spot.
Thank you and welcome aboard! 😁
One dislike from fish You was fishing and didnt mentioned in this video :) Keep up, good work. Wish You long and alot sailing seasons from Lithuania.
😁😂🤣 Thanks Tada Tada! 😉
Just great! I want to build a dingy and move to Portugal! Maybe move first then build?
Hi MAry!
well it depends where you are moving from but maybe you should move, check the area you will be sailing and then choose the boat which more appropriate to what you want to do there and also take in consideration the prevailing weather conditions! 😉
@@TheBoatRambler Teo ... you are creating life plans for other people by your example :)
@@MikStorer That is the best compliment anyone can get!!
It feels amazing knowing I'm making a difference to someone's life in a positive way! 😉
Nice to find other people with a similar hand built boat to sail/ race/ cruise with!
Great lifestyle video. Inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for making and posting, I really enjoyed that! 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Thanks for watching Karl! 😉
Adorei o catamaran que vocês fizeram com os dois skiffs, vão deixar o Edgar com inveja rsrs
eheheheh ABR
Wonderful retrospective ... makes me think of so many of your other videos @The Video Rambler!
Thanks Michael!
Great Skiff, great memories! 😉
Beautiful summary indeed!
Thanks a bunch Robert! 👍
From Buenos Aires, Argentina, Thank you for your videos! It seems to be the Skiff we need to sail on shallow waters of the Plata estuary.
Sounds great! 😁
It's a great boat. Also great videography there. You have the right cameras for the job.
Thanks Ben!! Still trying to get to speed on light/exposure settings but...it's a work in progress!! 😁
Your sailing is so fluidic...like ballet. Wonderful to watch. Thanks.
Thank you very much for your kind words!! 😊
Oh man, you sell it so well. Not that we needed too much convincing!
😂😁 Thanks! ...the GIS is a natural born star!!
Your videos are really excellent Teo... a real treat to my day. I may have to learn how to do a couple for the people that might then follow my adventures (not as flamboyant as yours, more "old guy" stuff)...
Thank you Phil!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Adventures are all about the moments you live not about freestyle tricks!
I'm sure if you edit some videos you will have an audience to your own style.
The hardest is to just start doing it... 😉
@@TheBoatRambler you just never know.. I may yet get there...
you are very good
Thanks for showing something new to me, exciting and healthy and professionally done.
I retired here to Seixas close to the Miño and have done alot of kayaking on the river and most Sundays to Morrazo with a club paddling.
but, seeing what you are up to makes a skiff totally tempting.
Can you please put me straight about the regulations...I see that you had to take your skiff to be inspected but I read on the net that under 5 metres doesn´t need to be registered..This English loves it here but so bad at languages and unsure how to and where to...can you put me on track?
Truely would appreciate it.
All the best. Trevor
Hi Trevor.
I’ll try to be as clear as I can regarding legislation.
I’ll focus on class 5 boats, small boats for sheltered waters like my skiff
Since January 2019 ALL vessels need to be registered with the following exceptions:
-Windsurf boards, SUPs, Kayaks, Experimental boats, Beach boats with no sail or motor and if staying closer than 300m to the beach.
-Racing dinghies if used for club racing and training and only by registered athletes, regatta support boats if registered as such by the club.
-any pram identified as Auxiliary from a main boat
Any vessel used for fishing even if only occasionally, need to be registered, even a kayak.
I know for a fact that many local maritime authorities usually turn a blind eye regarding small sailing/rowing dinghies…until the day they don’t! it’s risky….
If you want to build one yourself, you need to go to the local Maritime Authorities Office (Capitania) and ask for a self build license ( Licença de Auto Construção).
To do so you need a quick summary of the boat and its building method and materials if it’s under 5meters. If over 5 meters you need the corresponding project/drawings.
The Capitania will submit all the details to a Naval engineer who will approve the construction or ask for corrections to the project. Can take a 4 weeks or 4 months!!!
If approved you get 6 months to finish the project before needing to renew the license.
When you have the boat ready you need to go to the Capitania and ask for an inspection to your boat.
On smaller boats they usually do the two inspections (on dry and in the water) in one go.
After checking for construction quality and measures against the project’s drawings you will be asked to sail the boat there and then.
And that’s it! 120€ for building license, 40€+40€ for inspections+travel expenses for the inspector, 75€ for final boat documents. (2019 costs)
If you buy a boat you need to go to Capitania with the current owner or an authenticated signed paper to transfer the boat to your name.
I believe now they are also asking for a paper to show that the current owner doesn’t have fiscal debts.
If the boat as a motor make sure the BoatMotor pair are registered together as you can not have any motor on the boat other than the one which was registered to the boat.
If they don't match, it can be a pain to remove the old motor registered to the boat and only then you can get a new one registered to the boat.
Of the top of my head, and to the best of my knowledge, this is the current legislation as per the
Decreto-Lei n.º 93/2018 de 13 de Novembro
Hope it helps and wish you all the best.
Regards,
Teo

Most call it a compilation... 😉
You did quite a lot this year!
Hi!
I did a lot of sailing this year but I haven't sailed as much as last year yet (+50 outings in 6 months)....but there are still a few months to go till year end! 😁
Love your videos!
Thank you Ibrahim!
Wow Teo forager is so fast is she a racing boat or a dinghy cruising boat? We like to explore but I like going fast more but my brother Gene gets worried about capsizing. I like capsizing and i always go in the water even if it’s cold. But it is really cold here and so sometimes you get freezing. Lucky 7 goes fast too. Do you live in the tropics? From Luca
Hi Luca!
Forager is a simple design but it's really fast!
My GIS was modified by me to better allow me to recover from a capsize and to allow me to carry more gear in safety.
I live in Portugal and in winter water is also cold, I try to stay IN the boat as much as possible!!😉
Que vida maravilhosa!
Muito agradável de ver...
Se tivesse que votar num vídeo para o Nº1, este talvez fosse o candidato ao #1 eheheheh
Bons ventos
Obrigado amigo!!
E tu fazes parte do #1!! 😎
Hi Teo.
Just interested in your 360 video rig. What camera do you use and what do you use to edit 360 video? I think your film work is amazing.
Josh
Hi Josh!
I use an Insta360 oneX2 and the Insta 360 Studio to frame the 360 shot. On average It adds around 2-3 hours to my editing time just to frame the shots. Then I still have to put everything on DaVinci Resolve for the main edit.
Olá Téo!

Привет, подскажите на такую лодку можно поставить две мачты с гротом как на бермудских парусах
Hi!
I don't know how the boat would perform with bermudan rig but it would need a taller mast and probably shrouds too!
This is a questions you can ask the designer if you go on the Goat Island Skiff Facebook group. 😉
The lug rig is very inexpensive. It is also very quick to set up when you arrive at the water.
Here is a real club race between Lasers and a Goat Island Skiff in Italy.

Where is this?
Hello GrumpyOldMan!
This is in the Tagus river and estuary close to Lisbon, Portugal.
Till the water starts pouring in. Too narrow.
That is actually not true!!
The water coming in is not a problem at all on my GIS. After the gunwalle has sunk it recovers well and keeps sailing!! Even fully swamped the boat still sails . That's more than most other designs can claim... Check it out here
