Building and learning to sail a model sailboat

On my northeast trip, I built and sailed a model sailboat. And found out that sailing is pretty cool!
I found my sailboat plans in an online publication called "The Coastal Passage". Here's the article (thecoastalpassage.com/cheapca...) and the whole issue (thecoastalpassage.com/papers/....

Sweet nice to see another project, have fun ill am sure ill enjoy the series

[@RyanGausMakes]

Thanks!

[@jeremyboyle5695]

Cool project, that looks like fun to learn sailing. I was once told ''a smart guy might want to put styrofoam in the boat hull before sealing them closed"

[@RyanGausMakes]

That's a great idea!

[@JoesWorkbench]

Cool video, any updates?

[@matthewrinehart2367]

I really applaud your approach. I didn't watch your whole video but I believe the motion problem is that you didn't account for the fact that one can't scale the wind. Larger sails are needed. Also scale does not allow for ballast and how a vessel sets in the water. Stay curious! Gifted amateurs are what propels the human race!

[@RyanGausMakes]

Ooh, great point! This could probably another one of those things that doesn't scale linearly.

[@terrorzacktyl]

Cool project! Kind of curious if the help is going to be coming from someone who's documenting a boat build on KZbin?

[@RyanGausMakes]

Thanks! Nope - it's a family member who has been on boats his whole life and has an already fully functional sailboat!

[@mangalondestiny7881]

For my advise just extend the keels length and weighted them a little

[@bobmusket2990]

What scale was your model house

[@RyanGausMakes]

1:12!

@@RyanGausMakes Thanks and then I’m gonna start to build a ranch
