Building A Carbon Fiber Dinghy!

[@gonewiththewynns]

We’ve explored big catamaran factories and boutique yacht builders but today we’re getting an in-depth look at our first small boat workshop!

[@denis9450]

Hi guys don't know if you follow Sampson Boat Company on you tube he's re-building an old wooden boat in Port Talbot in the US he was looking for a new Tender also and has bought one from a boat builder in Port Talbot it's an 11ft sailing/row boat it has a small removable mast the boat splits in half in less than one minute and you can turn the stern around and fit it inside the front of the boat it only weighs about 90 pounds and would fit in the back of a wagon check it out it is his most recent video. He is a professional sailor and it impressed him both as a row boat and small sailing dingy.

[@greatpix]

One big reason to go with OC Tenders, the people behind it, owners and crew (employees). They made a great impression on this viewer. (Plus they make the best looking tender too).

[@popsoldboats3406]

Then everyone would be trying to steal his business.

[@AntiVaganza]

​@@popsoldboats3406 Sorry, but that's "old" thinking. I mean, I get the fear and it's human nature. But people will steal it, faster than ever in this day and age, some are already - though it could be said to be "inspired". Let me elaborate. Nothing he is doing hasn't been done before. Except, in this package. Resin infusion, not new. The eyelets, not new. Sailing tender, not new. Lightweight by way of optimizing layup, not new. Delta pad, decades old. Narrowish waterline with sudden increase about it for stability and spray deflection, not new. The wrap around wide rub rail, perhaps new, not sure. What's new is putting it all together in a tender package. And someone can and will copy it. The way to stay ahead is to keep making the superior product, keep improving on it. This he knows, I can tell by how he insists he is still an R&D shop, still in motion, still chasing a dream of making it better and more versatile. Add that with a bit of brand loyalty, of customers being willing to pay to honor the original brand he will be just fine:)

That dog at 1:08 stole the show! Crafting the perfect boat (even a small one), is no easy task. But teamwork makes the dream work. We appreciate Russell for showing us around and the whole process. He has a great facility, and the garden is a nice touch. Definitely helps soothe the mind and removes the stress part. Calmness is the cradle of power.

People from the town bringing cleaned cans and containers from trashcans for the epoxy is a brilliant example of recycling and reusesing

[@ariellesoullighting4309]

[@schulzmj1]

Used for mixing a toxic epoxy resin. Do you have any idea what is in the West System for chemicals. Well let me assure you it is not an environmentally friendly product. How is it made where is it made? Ask the Wynn's what it smelt like in there. As a side note I use the product, I am concerned about the environment but I do not claim to be something that I am not. That is call hypocrisy. One thing I know for sure I wont be getting any cute little heart beside my comment.

[@larslange5482]

@@schulzmj1 There has to be one idiot here, yes mate we know ok.

[@gonewiththewynns]

The Wynns have never claimed that the dinghy or the HH will be "environmentally friendly." What they are pushing toward is better and more sustainable products. The goal is and always has been how to leave less of a footprint on the planet, because we all leave footprints. A rigid inflatable dinghy has a limited lifespan, so you might need to buy several of them over the course of a circumnavigation. The OC should have a lifespan measured in decades. So while neither tender is built "guilt free", the OC was built conscientiously and does have a reduced environmental footprint simply because of its longevity. The same with the HH: no, it's not made from recycled seashells and held together with naturally harvested oyster glue, but it *will* allow them to live and cruise with very limited consumption of fossil fuels. And supporting and promoting more sustainable products will have a ripple effect to other consumers. Better, not perfect! Curious Minion P.S. Please note that you did indeed get a cute little heart.

[@schulzmj1]

I love your channel and how you keep evolving as your life changes is great. As someone who has spent a good majority of his life on the water and owned many different types of boats, I really envy the life you’ve chosen to lead. Also, I’ve read a lot of the comments on here and to the sad little people that can only give negative comments, why don’t you take a look at your own life and figure out what makes you so miserable and then change it!

[@gmonnig]

With Russ being such a cool guy and having a fantastic product, I think this will have to be a tender on our boat.

[@larslange5482]

I thought that last week after seeing their faces playing around on the boat.

[@cherylsibson2529]

OC so far seems to be the best choice for the small sailboat things are evolving nicely for you two!

[@petenelson8136]

I've been watching you two since your early days RVing and I've got to say, this was one of my favorite videos yet. I'm an RVer who took is family (4 kids, wife and 2 dogs) around the country for 22 months when I retired from the military. My youngest (32 now) son's dream is to sail much in the manner that you do, so when you transitioned to sailing I became very interested in learning through you and others (like La Vagabond, Sailing Zatara, Tula's Endless Summer, and The O'Kelly's) about sailing so that I could talk intelligently about my son's dream (and maybe some day go sailing with him). This tender seems to be a perfect match for you, and married to an electric motor you'd have the best of both worlds. The mere fact that you can repair everything on it, and have the security of bot sailing (for fun), and rowing if need be is a game changer. Hope I see this on the davits of your new boat.

[@rogerstone3068]

Yes, but it happens, and it's those freaky coincidences that get you. We had a car club meeting, and the next week I had an email from our club historian/photographer saying "Here are some pictures from last week" - except it wasn't FROM the club historian it was forwarded by another address from him second-hand... but I clicked the link. I then spent the next week trying to put stuff back in place and warn people not to fall for similar crap if it came up from my account, and so on. It's easy done. I just wish there was more sign of our phenomenal tenchno-capability tracking this stuff down and roasting the balls off the perpetrators.

Did I catch a glimpse of La Vagabond's Tender?

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Gotta say, Russell has a nice deck right there 😉And if that place becomes even more of a swamp, perhaps Shrek might move in! While there are places that do a whole thing for afternoon tea in the US, it's still not that common because at the end of the day, the US is a coffee country. This is due to the Revolutionary War where tea became a symbol of British rule. Tea and coffee were equally popular in the thirteen colonies during the 18th century, but the revolution tilted the balance.

[@kevinfisher1345]

The Aussies do a tea time, not to be confused with the early evening tea (aka dinner). While some Aussies do say tea, most actually just say a cuppa. Like asking would you like a tea or would you like a cuppa. Because regardless which term they use, quite a few of them if not most actually drink coffee instead of tea. So if you reply yes, they will then ask which one you want, tea or coffee. It is very common for Aussies to drop by for a cuppa and a short visit out of the blue. Aussies like to think of themselves as coffee connoisseur, even though they have limited selection of types. And are just as happy drinking freeze dried at home.

Having joined during the RV days, and now onto the second boat I'm super thankful. A few years ago my wife and I decided to build out a sprinter van, did that for 2 years following my job. Van is now for sale, with boat life in the near future. While we won't be able to take off into the blue, (dang job) we are following in the same general path of the Wynn's. Luckily I only work half the year, 3 weeks on 3 off, so we will be able spend a good amount of time learning boat life. I will someday, somehow, be the maniac you see anchored next to you, having finally reached our decade plus dream. I bring good wine and bourbon. ;) Fair winds and thanks for making these videos

[@HM-rz8nv]

To anyone wondering about the material this Dinghy is made out of, keep in mind that it's a completely different use case. They built their boat to float, not deal with extreme pressures. In this use case, it's a perfectly valid material. The one point of concern is how carbon fiber handles collisions with other boats or rocks, but it's not as though other materials such as Steel haven't failed in that regard either.

Certainly worthy subject for an episode.

I think I would trust that man with the passwords to my banking apps. What a character. His employees must feel like they won the lottery when they were hired. Enough of the accolades. I hope that when you asked where’s your boat order you were serious. Those boats are a definite winner in my opinion. Light weight, rugged, stylish and no pontoons to puncture and be constantly reinflating. by the way I took your advice (not an ad) and signed up for Surf Shark. Best decision ever. I was able to access my US websites while on vacation in the UK and can now access UK content (iPlayer) here at home all while protecting my phone, iPad and laptop. Thanks.

Although we aren't boat people, my husband and I enjoy have been watching your videos every week, for the past year and a half. We love how you include your audience in your adventures. We would love to share with you some things to seek out when you go to Cebu/ the Philippines. Although you will not be on the Large Island Luzon long... maybe just to fly into Manila, we do encourage you to spend sometime exploring. Take some time to visit places of history. Subic Bay in Olongopo City use to be where the Navel Base was. Then Clark AB in Angeles City, both were America's Life line to WWII, Korean & Vietnam Wars. Also Camp O'Donnell which was part of the trail of the Bataan March during WWII. There is a monument there in memory of those who where in prisoned as well as passed there. Camp O'Donnell became a barracks to house members of the USAF as well as other military branches. It was a Radar Site for the USAF when we were stationed at Clark AB in the '80s (when Marcos Sr was over thrown). There is also Baguio City and Camp John Hay (also part of the Bataan March). It is important to experience the Local cuisine. (Except Balut, you don't want to go there) soda or water have served in a plastic bag with straw. (I use to be able to tell how many soda's a day my husband had, by the rings on his T-Shirt.) A must taste is the barbecued bananas on a stick. Chicken Adobo, Pancit, and a few other dishes as well. Also try Rambutan fruit and Leeches fruit. Watermelon seeds too. A must with your boat is a visit to The 100 Islands. Enjoy your time in the PI and Please take time to experience its culture. Be careful of the Two Step Viper, Brown Recluse and the X Spider. the Rice Beetle...can be the size of 4 inches. There are also Cobra's and Pythons so FYI. Sorry to invade your comments. Just wanted to share some areas that might be of interest to you, after you visit and collect your new home. Enjoy and hope this was helpful. Can't wait to see video from your exploration of the Philippines!!! Thank You for sharing your life with the world!

So I commented on viewing the video while on Patreon however I thought why not comment here as well. SurfShark and the Instragram issue yes understand what happened and actually have a SurfShark Account because of yourselves. Commented before when the issue came and you it was when you guys I think had just hit the states and found it ironic that all the world traveling you guys do and the stolen Instagram Account happened when you returned to the states. It points out or should to everyone and you might admit happened you let your guard down. Like everything we become comfortable with incoming e-mails and messages and slip up not thinking that someone was out to steal account info and we click then suddenly think "Oh No What Have I Done"? Take your time a reason through your e-mails like you said you were expecting an e-mail acknowledgement from Instagram anyway, and just assumed it was what you were waiting for. Overlook one little item boom they got ya. It is amazing how much wowk it is to protect yourself and you data and information on the internet.

Good to see such professional quality - they look like dingy version of Rolls Royce / Elegant, but I couldnt help but think "yeah but what about the wind, Im quite sure the wind has its own ideas & is going to like that boat too. I dont see the wind keeping its hands off because its yr boat, its like cows or goats - has its own mischeive." Got a text message other week but Im shifting from Gisborne so didnt have time plus the thought of your hacker came to mind. Offering prizes / gimics, but it would have been nice to meet yous. I putting my lathe on my boat {regarding repair shop / my own world } as Im interested in boat being home first any sailing last. {catamaran is coming to mind regarding space, but i would go steel {when yve seen an old steel boat on the hardstand that had "been on the rocks" with all its dents Im sure anyone would be sold} ....An idea came to mind - is it feasible to use mast for air intake {given the height} to get less to no salt with fittings to prevent rain & fan to force the warmer air down. How much of a problem is salt build up? PS VPN. I use top rated vpn / macchanger. But heads up, I was getting blocked from news web site "Access Denied" - thus change everything / delete cookies and in no time if first news page loaded but reload = "Access Denied" which can only say GCSB {gov goons} so for normal people vpn etc... is good, but if yr deemed "threat to democracy number one" ie KING replacing circus let people know the rats r under the hood, things r not as secure as they like to think and the privacy protectors need to up their game regarding increasingly illegitimate governments taking away our rights.

There are interesting variations on sailing dingys/tenders popping up on YT now. Leo of Tally Ho has settled on a unique one - an 11 foot nesting dingy! The front half of the boat nests inside the rear half. The stored combination takes 6 feet of space. It's lightweight, rows beautifully, and has a sailing kit available that uses a carbon fiber mast and boom. When sailing, it appears to be easy to handle, and fast. I'd like to see one of these matched up with the Offshore Cruising tender. Check Leo's presentation of the dingy in his latest episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqHadoaZorurbNU

So what's the difference in the current design of the Sailing dinghy vs the one they had from the beginning and then stopped producing a few years ago?

Mainly small adjustments and refinement of moulds and jigs plus closed mould infusion of foils.
