Quality is great, staggeringly good really. In the same way that it's easier to ignore info you have than invent stuff you wish you had, these stream of consciousness captures beat the heck out of something you didn't get to because of the hassle of the full 'studio' versions you now feel you need to make. Thanks as always.

The gear info is very useful (for instance I've been loving my Exped sleeping pad which I got after your recommendation a few years back). Have to agree on the MSR Dromedary water containers. They are vile and I really don't know how they keep selling them. I got two new in 2021 for my upcoming Level 3 skills course on salt water and they were unusable. Even after multiple rinsings water was unfit to use for tea within a couple of hours. I subsequently tried every recommendation over the coming months and nothing worked. Then I saw one that suggested boiling water, and claimed they were OK with that. So I tried that and they both started leaking. I should have contacted MSR but didn't get around to it. They won't seal now, so I can't even use them as a float bag. For the extra water we have to carry for day trips I just use the 4 litre ones for bottled water. You can refill them, and despite being thin and disposable one will last a season. Rinsed out Listerine bottles work well and are super tough, but biggest is only 1.75l. It boggles my mind that so many purpose made water carriers leave a bad taste while the disposable ones don't. Thanks again for all that you are sharing.

Great craftsmanship, heading is a little deceiving first time yeah right first time on the other side of the camera! OK lol

Great video , we learned a lot for our next canoe trip in Tasmania, thanks for sharing 👍 🙏

I noticed that you leave the poles in the tent bag as you pack it. Those poles really create a packing constraint. Is there a reason you do not, as many backpackers do (and I I do when boat camping) remove them (and possibly the sharp, pokey stakes) and stow them elsewhere? The St Lawrence build looks so great, BTW!!

Awesome! I’ve seen a lot of videos recently of home built/designed boats. Many of them don’t consider flotation. This is great info and footage! Thank you for sharing.

Love your rigging options. I canoe camp mountain lakes in Montana and have been packing food in Ursack XL which is light weight, ties to a tree rather than hanging, and will give me 5 days of freeze dried style food storage. Just spent a week in the BWCA where they just changed policy requiring Grizzly rated storage if not hanging in camp and at each end of portages.

Love it 🤘

Beacon Rock!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing Brian. Tenkara fishing is for small Fish, this way you need to struggle whit a big one. It's normal. Of course you have may done a shorter line to land your fish easier, but you give up from your range (chance to catch a Fish). By the way, whithout your canoe, you will have no chance to catch and land tat big Trout. The Brook Trout is a part of the Fishing story, a real life fishing adventure. Cheers!

Ça a l'air simple a faire.

Very classy

7:45 A creativity that not everyone can do, I really admire your mind

Excellent craftsmanship.

Brian your ability to communicate your design decisions is awesome. This is a beautiful boat, the design I've been waiting for!

С такой бабой не пропадешь)

I really want to build one of these but I'm not sure where to get green oak

I love and would love to build it. Is there a course on building this boat?

Dam now I have to one

What kinda cloth was used as the skin?

Hi Brian, thank you for all your videos! I like that you really explain the details including the mishaps and also give advice on how one could do it differently than you. It really gives me the feeling of being directly in the shop in a 1 on 1 boat building course. Also, extra thumbs up for the epoxy safety advice! There are so many horrible videos out there that just ignore the dangers.

Two more things to consider. 1) Vent your drysuit properly. Otherwise you risk ending up head-down with very bouyant feet. 2) Wear a PFD. Why on earth wouldn't you?

Looks great! I’m really liking the red pigment

Outstanding video! Thanks!

Nice piece. Getting a SL skiff as a 60-70 lb is getting it into traditional guideboat weight. Might be nice to look at a Guideboat style yoke for carrying and solo loading.

You are a craftsman. Love all of your designs. I am going to try one myself. Hopefully soon

Great to see the incredible thought you have put into this design Brian. It looks superb. I will send you a few photos of the support box details of my Avocet Hobie setup, admittedly the older style but it may be of some interest to you. Keep up the good work!

This idea just [popped up in my head as I watched - have you experimented with a daggerboard insert for the peddle drive box to optimize the sailing ability to windward? I love the choice of the St Lawrence designs. I was fortunate enough to have a lot of exposure to and learning from that design (old wooden ones, that is) and they are marvelous indeed! Well done and thanks!

Salut .j'aime bien votre création de cayak ,un travail déterminer ...mon village C'est cap Falcon/ Ain turck/Oran/Algérie / nord Afrique....

Running only sail , please fit daggar board on it.

I paddled an LPB kayak and I can report that this construction method makes a noticeably lighter and easier to handle boat than the composite kayaks or the rotomolded kayaks. The best feature in my limited experience is that the boat is fast-I could really cover the distance. I think it is the hull design mostly, not my paddling.

The plan set really helps you get your brain around the project.

Wing paddle high-angle paddler here. I have always been told to avoid long stroke (causing negative blade/shaft angle), which sink/slow the boat. Yet most greenland paddlers seem to use low-angle style with long stroke (hence negative angle). Are those correct or bad example of using GL paddle? I am interested in GL for better stability in rough condition (totally different usage than wing paddle) Thanks!

@capefalconkayak I'm curious about using hard maple for the ribs, I have a large number of 1/8" x 1" by about 4' (originally cut for making wooden tennis rackets). My biggest concern is that I don't know how rot prone they are ( i.e. have the Red Oak issue).

Great video! Lovely boat! The sail looks like a lot of fun.

beautiful skill

I noticed all sail boats have the sail in front of the operator. Is there a reason for this?

Great info and robust content. Totally agree with the "reflective part". Just wonder if you can add comment about using wing blade (which is my default one)?? Thanks!

Cannot thank you enough for this series and the detailed explanations

Great series! Any chances you’ll be making Cape Falcon canoe T-shirts in the future?

Do you have free blueprint for Greenland Paddle?

Where can i found blueprint for this paddle?

Thabk you all the way from the armpit of Zimbabwe.

Сколько весит такая лодка с распашными веслами? Длина?

Looking pretty good! So the nails are just pounded into the stringers?

Enjoying this video build. Love the lines of the boat. Just a though on the submarine that became a "plug" for the pedal drive, could it be made into a dagger board when used as a sail boat? Just a thought.

I think you just saved my life. I was in the midst of designing a kayak with a wave-piercing tumblehome hull design, but live along a river. My thoughts were designing it to pierce through some whitewater but now see that might be foolhardy and deadly. I am so glad you are open, honest and humble and stated that pricing the wave seldom worked for you because that was my mindset too. As I said, I think you just saved my life. (Note: I worked on the hull of the USS Zumwalt and other sister ships and why I have a fondness for the wave-piercing tumblehome hull shape).

amazing work
