Building A Sailboat From SCRATCH | Ep.1

Check out my Patreon to help support the boat build! - / jackwood25
Guten Morgen! After months of building and filming, I'm finally posting the first sailboat build video. This is by far the biggest project that I've ever built. As I said in the beginning of the video, I've never built a boat before so I'm kinda just winging it. I don't care if you guys criticize me, I know there is a lot that I could have done better. So far I have 5 video ready to be edited about the boat and I'll post one every week to keep you guys updated. I hope that you guys enjoy the first boat build video.

Pro tip. Using a couple of saw horses or even just garbage cans to place the plywood on while you mark out the curves would save your back. Don't be like the rest of us and only think about protecting our bodies until we are old and the damage is done. Great job on the boat!

Just stumbled across your channel. While I'm not building a boat, I am restoring a 22 foot tanzer, the hull is solid, everything else needs to be rebuilt. The plan is to learn to sail on it, then sell it and move onto a 40 footer. Best of luck with your project, you've gained a subscriber. Fair winds.

[@JackWood25]

Awesome! Love hearing other people working on boat projects. Thanks for you comment!

[@georgewashington7444]

Rebuild the Tanzer and forget about the 40er trust me I went small-Big-smaller and now have a Montgomery 17 that has sailed Florida Keys, Lake Erie, Fl-Bahamas and I’m contemplating taking it CA-Hawaii. You will sink a ton of money into a 40’er and sail 1/4 as much as a smaller boat.

[@NomadicPhoton]

@@georgewashington7444 All fair and valid points. My eventual goal is to liveaboard, so some additional space is required. But for a vessel to sail and not live on permanently, you certainly can’t beat the 17-25 for range. I’m not in a huge hurry to upgrade though. I appreciate the comment. Fair winds.

[@monarreztony]

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Besides he said he found the cheapest boat plans online in the beginning.

[@JackWood25]

For my budget and type of boat that I wanted to build, I did find the cheapest plans. There a hundreds of free boat plans on the Internet, you just need to start searching. I didn't want to show off in the video but the calculations I made was just simple addition and subtraction. Also, I never took a woodworking class too. I just found other KZbin videos that greatly helped. Anything is possible bro, you just have to start.

[@robertdavis8417]

I'm worried you changed the plans. Plans are there for a reason. But what do I know. I'm sure it'll all work out. A of effort. I think there is meant to be curves on the edges were the keel joins. But once again I've never built a boat .

@@JackWood25 im gonna give you a other hint, when you do use epoxy for filling, please mix in some milled fiberglass fibers (u can take some matting and cut very fine pieces to) or microglass ballons or even normal wood sawdust, otherwise it can crack, epoxy is very strong but very brittle, like concrete without rebars. i wouldnt use plain epoxy or polyester more than 0,8mm thick without anything else in it.

SCRACTH ?

[@JackWood25]

Pretty much, yeah. This is a home depot boat build.

[@jamesbaldwin7676]

Sorry but building a boat is a lot like building a house. The real work only begins after the walls and roof are finished. When you get the hull and deck completed, you're still a long way from floating your boat. And the use of Home Depot plywood and lumber over marine-grade materials, is the worst possible way to save money. If you're having fun that's one thing, but if you're dreaming of going boating, drop the hammer and go buy a boat. It's always a buyers market and never buy anything homemade.

[@ssuntzu]

I don't agree. I built a 15 foot Ross Lillistone First Mate sailboat with Menards plywood. And I've sailed on rough water from Lake Erie to Pamlico Sound and several small lakes in between. I trust it more than a production boat because I know exactly how it was built. It's my fourth sailboat, but first homebuilt and it's definitely my favorite. I'm even considering building another, bigger boat. Just follow the plans and you'll be fine. Have fun and get ready to tell everyone how you built your own sailboat - people are always amazed by that.

[@jamesbaldwin7676]

@@ssuntzu Yes, I'm a professional woodworker and I have undertaken serious boat building. Building small vessels can be fun but building bigger vessels is a waste of time and money. If fact most home-building boat projects, never see the sea. The ones that do are nearly impossible to resale. Banks won't loan money on them and insurance carriers won't underwrite them (especially if they're made of wood.) You're wrong about production boats too. When it comes to safety, Production boats are typically built to be nearly unsinkable, because boat owners are typically untrained, unlicensed and inexperienced. Builders know this and must design and build fail-safe products. Modern production boats (big and little) are virtually everywhere and easy to aquire. Because they're not made of wood but fibreglass, many thousands are still around from the 1970's and even 60's and just as good now as the day they were built. In fact (if for any reason) you can't seem to sell your "classic plastic" boat, you have two options...pay thousands to have it cut-up and deposited in the landfill or give it away. (You'd be surprised how many are just given away) I acquired a 30 sailboat this way, while turing-down a 52 footer! It's always a buyers market and the variety and condition of old boats is truly endless. I currently own a 40 foot sailboat which I paid $10,000 less than the asking price for (twenty years ago.) There's always a marina boat auction happening some place. Impounded but floating vessels are sold-off every few months. For less money than what it costs to buy boat-building materials, you can sail away. KZbin is full of folks who have done just that and are now circumnavigating the world and bragging about it. Boat-building is fun but a professionally built boat can keep you alive to have fun. The things that amateurs don't know, can and does fill books. The ocean doesn't care if you've read any of those books or if you've used the best building materials, Home Depot has to offer.

[@scottbarth9578]

Hard disagree. Can't be a waste of time if it's a hobby and he wants to spend his time doing it! You are clearly missing the point of what he's doing. He doesn't care about resale value, insurance, or other dumb concepts adults in suits make up. Quit raining on the parade! Also regular plywood is fine if the boat will live on a trailer in a dry climate (he's in southern CA). Even if sailed overnight there won't be enough time for much water intrusion, and it will be able to dry completely between uses. Furthermore in the resale market for a homemade kit boat of this type (very small, no ballast, unfaired centerboard & rudder, low SA/D, etc) the next buyer won't really care or know about marine ply anyway. Great job! Keep filming & show us the rest of the build!

[@jamesbaldwin7676]

@@scottbarth9578 You're talking to a person who has been down the boatbuilding road (more than once.) It will positively be an education. It can be fun but it's never a good idea.

[@scottbarth9578]

@@jamesbaldwin7676 How can you make a blanket statement like, "it's never a good idea?" Nothing would ever be built if that were true. I completely understand that people have different priorities, budgets, aptitudes, and amounts of free time. I agree that for the average person who wants to get out on the water, building a boat is a horrendous idea. However, he is already wrist deep in epoxy. Saying "don't do it" isn't going to spare him any pain. Would you have listened to your own advice the first time, and at that age?
