Building a Wooden Boat: Sharpie Sailing Skiff Project 2021

[@-JSP-617]

What an absolute beautiful boat. Well done mate.

[@aNaturalist]

Great video! You were good at telling the story too. My only sailing experience is in a 15.5' Westport sharpie that a friend of mines has. Sharpies are beautiful boats.

[@louisweldon6710]

Beautiful boat! Would love to know the basic dimensions, we know length as stated 15 ft, how about max beam across gunnels, across bottom and width of transom. Again, very awesome build.

[@DebbieOnTheSpot]

Adventure. Not a failure!

[@tomwaite4594]

Lovely old time build! Thanks for sharing

[@sawer]

Very different approach to boat building than most other videos out there, inspiring!

[@matthewmiller8297]

Taking notes, hope to build my own soon.

[@TheTWhite]

Wow. I found your most recent videos, and I love your style of sailing. I have an interest in carpentry from deck building and framing work, but would LOVE to have a simple two person par and sail boat that was made by my own hands. This made it feel more feasible than I pictured. Very happy to have found your channel. Keep going!

[@CaptainZG]

Bravo !!!! great video, well done. And the boat as well :) You should have 64K subscribers at least !! Keep building and sailing & God bless, Z.

[@tomslayton2319]

Beautiful boat, nice build!

[@MyLife-lg6tg]

Very nice job, enjoyed your video. Thanks Dan from Michigan & texas

[@geoffburrill9850]

Very nice boat, she seems to sail well with your rig.

[@cumberlandrover]

Thank you! She sails much better with a boom and a jib.

I am really looking forward to starting my boat builds next year when I am settled in at the new place I am moving to.

[@GilBeloGil]

Wau man, absolutely beautiful boat, love the color, love the design, love the way it looks with the rowing paddles. Seriously, awesome boat made with a lot of love.

[@bobcornwell403]

Your advice to novice boat builders is excellent. I'm about to finish building a box-boat of my own design. I had to build it inside the house trailer I live in. The boat's 10 ft length stretches nearly from wall to wall. I have made numerous mistakes while building it, and can hardly believe I'm at the fitting out stage. You have built a nice, elegant boat.

[@danweyant4909]

Watching it sail, one can't help but think about how much power gets transferred from a good boom. I know lots of boats go without bit when it comes to pointing...

[@cumberlandrover]

You're absolutely right. I have been running this rig with a boom for a while now. Huge improvement. Believe it or not, I also sail it with a jib sometimes. Works surprisingly well.

[@danweyant4909]

@cumberlandrover If you get to road trip, try visiting the wooden boat museum in Cambridge Maryland- their collection of working craft includes a number of Sharpies with various rig solutions. Also just a great facility

[@jwm6314]

Beautiful lines. I want to build one now, so thanks for that hahhaa

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

Using your own hands and creativity is medicine for people ❤

[@hardystein114]

What a fine job ! Beautiful boat. Single balanced lug rig would be a great choice , I think. 👍

[@Captain_Bartolo]

Beautiful boat and sailing! 👍

[@My24hradventure]

I really enjoyed watching this video. You've done a fantastic job, both on the boat build and the telling of the story. Thanks for sharing.

[@kennethkuhl1188]

You really did a nice job with this boat. I love the lines sharpie layout. You are a patient man.

[@justanaverageguytoday]

Nice!

[@RyanWithAviators]

I love it! Your videos and attitude have inspired me to build my own sail and oar skiff. Any suggestions on the weight and type of fabric for the sail? I plan to sew my own as well.

[@Ncfsailing2]

Enjoyed the video. thank you for sharing. Happy sailing!

[@destrollip506]

I really enjoyed this, and your presentation, brilliant. Thanks for posting.

[@thomasmencher221]

Gorgeous boat.

[@timothyflood1423]

Great job!!

[@robhosailor]

Great job! Beautiful boat!

[@pl7868]

we must be doppelgangers or something i took all the hardware ,mast,keel from my mariner and cut up the rest took it to the dump because i couldn't put the mast up alone and my kids moved away an a thousand bucks a yr is to much for me to keep it at a dock so i built almost exactly the same boat you did except it's 12 ft long and resin coated ply lol small world hey

[@bruceswabb7145]

Beautiful job! You have rekindled my interest in the Ohio sharpie. Bought the plans, but wasn’t sure about it. They are gorgeous.

[@OregonOldTimer]

12:57 Would it not be better if the mainsheet traveler lay forward of the mizzen mast?

[@wilson5780]

Excelente, parabéns.

[@marcus_k85]

Great work!! Which paint and adhessive have you used?

[@michaelbeebe1616]

Nice.

[@ra6378]

The SHARPIE BOOK! Where do I find this book???

[@TheFlexiMexi]

Do you have the build plans for this? I know you loose built of 3 designs, wondering if you have the plans for purchase.

[@WhyeZee1]

What's cost looking like for this?

[@RagtimeBillyPeaches]

If that boat is 15 feet, what is the maximum beam at the gunnel?

[@saltymojo1602]

Is the outside of the hull fiberglassed over?

[@jeremystewart4896]

What are your thoughts on the boomless standing lug?

[@cumberlandrover]

I liked it for convenience sake, but the boom provides a huge performance boost. Especially up wind.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

You sound so different in this older video. Is it you or someone else? I thought I was on the wrong channel; the "other guy" has a super laid back, soft and sleepy manner of speech. Just an observation.
