@@justinjuarez1852 Depends on how you define it. To me this is a kayak.

@@hix420 Thank you for the sugestion. The seal on the can will be broken but for a shorter time (weeks) this shold not be a problem.

@@zackariasthepirate I haven't come to that construction part yet on this build but you could look in the playlist for another catamaran that I made, kzbin.info/aero/PLX8LJx74CkuKW8XOa8iFlpvTWhDVDHjUC&si=FhT3qMS8GdVZ1T24. However, there are at least two different strategies to take on this problem. Either, you could build the mast step as strong as possible and hope that no stay ever breaks, like a hinge. If any stay break the whole boat may disintegrate when the hinge breaks loose. Or, you could construct something that will fail in a controlled manner, like a mast pin.

@@hix420 Thank you!

@@leemelbourne3297 Thank you! I used the circle equations found in most mathemathical books. You shold look up the equation for the cord in relation to the circumference. I recomend going for a flatter sail than you think. Mine got a too much of a belly to work well in strong winds.

@@leemelbourne3297 I can't find the formula (long time ago) but an approximation is to use b=2(h*h+(C/2)*(C/2))0.5 where b is the cloth lenght, h is the belly depth and C is the chord.

@@chewitt6426 Thank you for the support!

Yes I can recommend Sketchup for boat projects. It is rather powerful to get a 3D feel for the project and also for measuring individual distances in the modell. However, if you want to export 2D-data like bulkheads you have to pay. The free version doesn't allow you to do that. I had to work around that problem and set up an offset table in an Excel spreadsheet.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 Ah, verstehe. Hast Du mal "professionelle" Bootsdesignsoftware ausprobiert? Ich hatte mal kurz Delftship angeschaut. Das Problem ist, dass das Einarbeiten in die SW immer sehr aufwendig ist.

Not yet. However, if you keep it simple and basic you can actually get rather far. A book on the subject with this approach is "How to design a boat" by John Teale. I ended up using an Excel spreadsheet for the calculations and SketchUp for visualisation.

@@JenkinsBoatWorks Thank you! Yes it was tail wind on the first leg and the head wind didn't bother so much as it's so easy to take down the mast and sail. With two people working together things go much faster.

@@derrymic Thank you! Yes it was great weather and company. It is much more fun having familly comming along.

@@anderslittorin6882 Ja och överraskande. Har du torrdräkt? Annars kanske det är bäst att vänta ett halvår med paddlandet;).

@@AirOnTheWater Thank you!

@@mit-mach-werkstatt Thank you!

Kul att du hittar inspiration i mina videor! Vikt är inte alltid en nackdel och en båt som Paradox kommer du ändå behöva transportera på trailer/kärra. Jag skulle rekommendera dig att försöka göra allt över vattenlinjen och särskilt ovanför relingen lätt. I botten kan du kosta på dig mer vikt för att få styrka. Vikten långt ner ger dig mer stabilitet i sjögång och hård vind.

Thank you for the proposal. I'm not in it for the money I just want to contribute to the community. Thus I can't pay you anything either.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 There is no charge for this

There is no charge for this

@@anderslittorin6882 Yes I guess you do, I sort of got the idea from you.

Here I use spruce as it has the best ratio between strength and weight. I want to build lightweight as that is important for any catamaran and especially for a roof rack transportable one.

Yes you are so correct as you can see on the second gluing there are drops falling off from the frame. I had thickened the epoxy but I didn't make it thick enough. Thank you for commenting!

Thank you very much for commenting!

Thank you for commenting and for the support!

Thank you! I also like your comments and the support. It helps with motivation.

@@et1161 Thank you for the support! It's not like the there are rescue around everywhere although within 30 min after a call. You still need to handle yourself and the boat so internal buyancy is a good thing everywhere.

@@luckytoastsebastian Thank you for the support! No belly hair was hurt;)

@@Panoramix0874 Thanks for the support! This was at the most extreme conditions I ever plan to sail in.

@@federicocorazza4138 It's a very simple household one, Husqvarna Viking. I do not recomend it for sail work. If you can afford it you should go for a sturdier one. However, if you just aim for inexpensive, use what you have, or buy second hand.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 thanks! I see you're not using dacron but some tent like fabric. Have you had any difficulties sawing that? Do you recall its g/m^2 by chance?

@@federicocorazza4138 It is a polyester fabric but laminated with polyurethane, thus much easier to fold than Dacrone and not as air tight. 160 g/m2.

@@anders_nygaard Tack för supporten! Ja jag hoppas det blir tillräckligt lätt för att kunna transportera på takräcke.

@@kelpshake650 It was a polyester fabric, Dacron could be a better choice.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 thanks, dacron would be challenging to get here in my country, as for polyester, there's tons of polyester fabrics but which type? I might have to do more research online... no one to ask here about sailboat, it's a long gone history, so the internet is the only way for me....

@@kelpshake650 Where are you based? Do you have access to outdoor fabric? I used a sun sail for covering outdoor gardening areas in this case, cheap, accessable and durable.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 I think I can get a sun sail fabric pretty easily, thanks for your recomendation

I use NM epoxy (mostly) and sometimes Biltemas epoxy (when I haven't ordered in time). If you are not based in Sweden or the nordic countries I suggest that you try to find a local supplier. NM epoxy is available through their web shop (epoxibutiken.se/)

@@hix420 Yes it's spruce. The knots and crooked fibers are only a problem (strength) if you build something dependent on only that strip. If you don't position the knots on the same location for strips besides each other the hull will be plenty strong. In fact spruce has it's qualities: it doesn't generate toxic dust (like Western red ceder), it's one of the toughtest and has the highest strenth weight ratios you can find. It binds very well with epoxy and as it doesn't soack in to much epoxy you can build very light laminates with it.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 Thank you for the infos! I will follow your build closely :)

Yes agree but I'm not sure it's necessary to scream about it?

Thanks, it is an road ad.

Thank you! The ships were used for transports and when they got old they just let them rot in a bay until they sank. The mosquitos were bad this trip but now it's much better. I will visit Finland next week, I hope you have cleared the sky until then? 😉 Yes fishing is popular in this area, and you do not need a permit in the big lakes.

Thank you for commenting and the support! Yes I agree there are numerous ways to improve the surface, I have tried a few. Plastic strapping will definitely be a good option. In this case I do not care so much about the hull surface as I plan to paint it, not varnish, thus I went with a quick and dirty approach.

Thank you! I use spruce at material for the paddle, tough and light. I guesss your mother is from Sweden?

@@sailoutofagarage6212 tHANKS . No my mother is french, but she spent a long time after the war as a nurse doing “social work” with delinquents. She loved your country !

@@christh5682 Thank you again!

Thank you for watching and commenting, it's much appreciated.

Kul att du hörde av dig, jag har saknat dina kommentarer Anders 😀! Ja det var en fantastiskt fin dag med särskilt fint fotoljus både morgon och kväll. När det gäller segelkonstruktionen och de nya pontonerna (antar att det är de du menar?), så börjar jag känna mig rätt färdig. Varje gång jag är ute tänker jag på allt jag vill ändra och förbättra. Tyvärr för lite tid att hinna med allt jag vill göra.

Thank you! Glad you liked the episode.

Snitsig lösning med vatten! Jag önskar jag hade haft koll nog att provmäta mitt skrov i vintras innan jag laminerade insidan.

@@anderslittorin6882 Om du har kvar spantmallarna så går det att rädda formen genom att sätta tillbaka dem om återskapa fuktkvoten med lite vatten.

I will try to keep the volume down in the future.

With the grooves along the roller (orthogonal) you push the air out of the cloth as you roll. If you had the grooves around the roller the air would stay. I hope this makes sense?

@@sailoutofagarage6212 No not at all to be honest. I used the other (non orthogonal) rollers for years building boats and never had a problem. All they were is round nylon stock with a deep thread. Anyhow very interesting and good luck with your build.

@@jollyroger7624 Aha, now I understand your argument. Yes it will work with a standard roller as well. The orthoganal roller is however much easier to clean, just wipe with a papper tissue. A standard roller will have to be thrown away.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 I see where you are coming from, but I should have mentioned I was laminating with polyester resin not epoxy. I did however coat a 34 foot steel deep keel yacht hull with epoxy 50 odd years ago, that was fun working outdoors. We did however use plenty of solvents for cleaning our equipment. I still have my rollers. More important I think to keep the glass dust out of your lungs than anything else.

Polyester is another thing, cheap(er) but I don't like that it's water degradable on a boat, thus I stick to epoxy. Yes I also think the glass dust is the most dangerous, at least long term. Unhardened epoxy is also not good but that is more acute toxic.

Thank you!

Yes it was cold!

Thank you!

Thank you, glad you liked it.

Thank you, yes it was a nice summer trip.

Thank you for commenting, glad you enjoyed it.

Thank You!

Not a scratch! The angle of attack is very low on this boat. The front and sides press the ice down and break up the surface. If the ice was thicker I would be in more problem as the ice would no break up. Thank you for commenting!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the comment! The boat is hard to turn flip over but I have had water over the edge several times. The trick is to reef early as the power of the wind increases quadratical to the wind speed.

Thank you for the positive support! Yes the weather does not favour sailing, still I try to both build and sail, although not at the same time.
