Blue Belle is a pretty boat. And I think she loves the lake!

Definitely see some spots where I should have trimmed the video clip more. I really dislike editing.

Not sure if you have tested it but a Royalex canoe doesn't need flotation, its a foam core- composite sandwich that can float even when totally filled with water. I have a 18ft Easy Rider Royalex canoe and we have done it a few times just for fun.

Excellent work, looks great! Best of luck to you.

How do you tell the age I have a yellow one that’s in immaculate condidition it needs cleaned up I’m going to try to sell it but I don’t know what it will go for

Now I understand why you enjoyed Grandfather Mountain so much. Great place to camp, and a great group of people to fellowship with! ❤️

Had you noticed the cement block before? It looks new. No wear and tear.

We weren't impressed by the "feathered" dinosaurs. But it was fun being able to see their size compared to us.

Ah yes, this exhibit

I saw lots of "big" kids with their hands out to pet/touch the raptor - such a cool experience!!

Me and my Dad are so 12 during this. . .

I run the main sheet around a bar on the boat winch and back to the cockpit. As I walk the mast up, I pull on the main sheet to raise the mast. Once fully up, I pull on the sheet and lean on the mast while the wife puts the front shroud clevis in the middle hole in the fitting.

Trigg Todd and Caldwell Holland family greetings yall ❤❤❤

Прекрасная работа! Лодка СУПЕР!!!

"Dont swamp it" Great advice.

Thanks for the video. I look forward to more C-lark vids. they are a lot of fun and fast. Be safe on the water.

Whoo hooooo! More C-larks! I'll bop by when on my other channel. Subd and thank you for the tour. The gentleman running commentary is a hoot! Griffen in the sea! Ha ha ha.

I'm in Central Kentucky. I have added a simple boom topping lift. That really helps with raising the sail.

Yes, the boom gets caught on the traveller. I put mine on the gunnels. Lots of snags with the little boat.

So instead of a keel you use an outrigger. correct?

lol that end part though when 90% of the reenactors didnt hear the order to halt

now that's what I call tinkering!!!

Nice job overall but specially on the leeboards 👌

How is it that you can sail on a reach and not capsize? Or did I miss the outriggers?

This is so much fun. I loved the tilt up rudder! Batwing sail is classic too.

Great job. There are few things more fun than making something on the cheap. I did a similar sailing canoe from a Coleman square sterned canoe which enabled me to fasten a real rudder. I once took it out in 30 mph winds on a close reach. Coming back, I was surfing over waves. I was in my forties, and old enough to know better. Foolish, but it sure was fun. Canoes are one of the oldest, prettiest, and under rated boats in the world. I find traditional American wood-canvas canoes, proas, and skin on frame canoes fascinating.

MacGyver would be so proud.

That's a very weird video. Why weren't you grabbing or picking something up from the ground, instead of grabbing at a fence? Anyway, not a bad idea! You just need more captions to explain what you were actually doing. Would make a good grabber for citrus fruit high up in the tree, as they don't get bothered by bruising if picked with something like that that grabs well. I might just make one the same!

Great Project I have the 5 hour canoe sail rig book always wanted to try it out i have build a few plywood dinghy boats that i also experimented on with different rigs High five to ya

Very cool. I'm thinking about doing a tinker boat too. you have some great ideas.. I'm live in FL and thinking about using bamboo for the mast ..it grows all around here.

I am going to "steal" some of your ideas. I was thinking of doing the same thing, making a sail out of a shower curtain. How did the shower curtain work out for you?

B. B v no

pretty good, actually! :) A+

Nice! If you ever want to put an outrigger kit on it, check out Expandacraft modular boats.

beautiful. do more with less....you are an inspiration. all you ( need ? ) now is some oarlock outriggers and 7 ft oars.

The last time I went out, I was going over 4mph in spots. With me leaning out to balance.

How did the jib work out?

This was an amazing performance by the Fourth District High School Choir!

Magnificent animal. I think he likes to play in the water!

It was too high to be safe on the river. I'm glad I didn't know that until after you all landed at Roachville.

That one was really really scarey! 14 miles in under 2 hours!!

Amazing!

your inventive style is inspiring, keep it up, and keep sharing brother.

Amazing work. It is as much a work of art as it is a sailing canoe

It looks like fun and a good idea. Some explanation about how you did it would have been more helpful to others like myself trying to figure it out.
