Building my Micro Petrel Dinghi

[@damian_taylor]

Sensual craftsmanship. Work is love made visible.

[@nosaltiesandrooshere7488]

Also, alle Achtung, meinen Respekt hast du! Sich als Bootsbaulaie so ein Projekt aufzuhalsen grenzt nicht nur an Wahnsinn sondern auch an überaus allergrößten Mut! Und wie jedes Hobby kostet so ein Projekt eine schöne Stange Geld, aber wie man an den Ergebnissen sieht, hat es sich gelohnt! 👍 Danke fürs Hochladen! 👍 Thanks for uploading!

[@vonhier]

Danke für das Lob.

[@nosaltiesandrooshere7488]

@@vonhier 👍 Bitteschön, gern geschehen! Ich habe als österreichischer Binnenländer nur mäßich Ahnung von Booten, bei den Pionieren lernte ich vor ca. 40 Jahren das nau- & gegen-wärts Starken und fahren mit Ein- & Zwei-Mann Stechpaddel mit der traditionellen Donauzille. Ich wünsche dir viel Spaß und Freude an deinem Drachen! Grüße aus der Wachau!

Ulrich Koch such a beautiful boat!! BRAVO!

[@vonhier]

Thank you.

[@eastoforion]

Beautiful project! I especially love the flooring touch. But those are the thickest knees I've ever seen! xD

[@vonhier]

Thank you. You are absolutely right about those knees. To be honest - the plan was imperial, not metric and so I made a little "misinterpretation". I then decided it was not too bad because the knees serve as a very strong supports when the boat is attached to the davits outboard. It its sometimes very rough when sailing the coastal waters (Atlantic Ocean, Netherlands and German coast).

[@othername1000]

Well searching for Sam Devlin on KZbin doesn't seem to bring up much, other than other people with his boats. Good thing there's no link, we might find him that way

[@vonhier]

Maybe the reason is that YT is no search engine but a video platform. 😉

[@othername1000]

@@vonhier I guess I'll keep trying later. Using Chrome on a phone, closest I found is Shed Videos apparently has one. Cross referencing with Sam Devlin's website, it looks like the same guy. That's searching Sam Devlin boats KZbin, and Sam Devlin KZbin. Lots of results for Sam Devlin boats youtube, but it's not his videos apparently, it's other people building his designs. Like I said the one video he might be in is posted by Shed videos. On Chrome your video actually popped up fairly early. But nothing from him yet.

[@macrumpton]

Lovely boat and video, although non-removable floorboards can be a problem if you ever need to do hull (or floorboard) repairs or clean up after a messy spill.

[@vonhier]

I remember the moment looking at the clearly visible glass fibre braid on the floor of my finished boat. I did not like the appearance and the right amount of mahogany scrap was at hand. Mistake, perhaps. And yes, you are absolutely right about the trouble any repair of this area will cause. (When not in use the dinghy will travel underneath a canvas coverage)-

[@garypage9515]

Wow, beautiful....but that is a very heavy dinghy with those big knees, heavy seats, and floor boards.

[@vonhier]

Thank you. You are right about those knees. The reason - the plan was imperial, not metric and so I made a little "misinterpretation". I then decided it was not a fault but a feature because the knees serve as a very strong supports when the boat is attached to the davits. It its sometimes very rough when sailing the coastal waters (Atlantic Ocean, Netherlands and German coast). The floor boards however are rather light weight - same as the mahogany seats.

[@waterboy8999]

Beautiful

[@bbjcp]

It's a wow. I love it and wanted to build one. Hope you don't mind sharing the specs and how to :)

[@vonhier]

Thank you very much. I think it is probably not a "how to" in every detail - it was not meant to be because I am not a professional. Sam Devlin did it in his stitch and glue instructional videos.

Very nice boat....i want build also this. How much ticknes plywood? 10mm or 8 mm?

[@charlesxix]

It looks like a Mirror Dinghy. You could have not put the ventilation at the stern you you could use it as built in buoyancy. Nice looking dinghy.

[@vonhier]

Don't tell anyone: Ventilation louver is decoration only. There is in fact a built in buoyancy body underneath - this is (in a way) mandatory item of the boat plans designed by Sam Devlin. You are the first to notice!

[@charlesxix]

Hi, I used West Epoxy Resin No 105 und West Epoxy Hardener No. 205. (If you want the epoxy to cure slowly you may use hardener No. 206). To make a sticky glue from the resin you have to add Microfibers West System No. 403. Greetings from Germany by Ulrich

Технологично, красиво, но зачем так утяжелять конструкцию лишним деревом. Есть же более прочные и лёгкие современные материалы. Или Вы с ними не знакомы?

[@vonhier]

Hallo. Ich verstehe die Frage nicht. Ich muss ein Übersetzungsprogramm benutzen. Das Ergebnis auf Deutsch verstehe ich aber nicht.

[@user-mefodevich]

@@vonhier А гугл переводчик у Вас не работает? И я не понимаю и не знаю многих языков, но гугл переводчик мне помогает на 80% понять переведённый текст. Выше я спрашивал про современные материалы вместо дерева. 3 мм фанера и 2-3 слоя стеклоткани с эпоксидным клеем, думаю, легче и прочнее будет, чем 6 мм фанера. Да и усиление по углам такими тяжелыми элементами из фанеры тоже не рационально. С уважением к Вам и Вашему творчеству.

[@vonhier]

@@user-mefodevich Ja, jetzt habe ich verstanden. Der Google Übersetzer hat zwei Wörter verwendet, die keinen Sinn ergaben. 3 mm oder 6mm? Bitte nicht vergessen: Ich bin kein Bootsbauer. Es war mein erstes Boot überhaupt. Ich habe einfach das gemacht, was im Bauplan stand. Aber: Bei den Ecken habe ich Zoll und cm verwechselt. Sie sind also viel dicker als im Bauplan. Viele KZbin-Nutzer haben mich schon danach gefragt. EInige haben mich auch sehr dafür kritisiert. Das Boot hängt außen an meiner Yacht und wir sind oft bei schlechtem Wetter und hohen Wellen unterwegs. Also habe ich beschlossen, es so zu lassen. Die Engländer sagen entschuldigend: "It is not a bug - it is a feature"

[@gorazdg1]

Very nice boat ! What is the final weight ?

[@vonhier]

She was designed to weigh 28,5kg or 63lbs - since I added planks and stronger gunwales it must be something like 32kg / 70 lbs. I never checked exactly.

[@gorazdg1]

For one man only or does it take even 2 men ?

2 persons - max 140kg - we use it as a dinghi inside harbour areas (Netherlands and Baltic Sea)

[@viktorbabay2905]

Красиво! Но лишний вес (ИМХО) ни к чему - пайол здесь излишняя деталь, т.к. толщина днища 6 мм. Лучше на днище параллельно килю добавить пару реек. Делал пару-тройку таких лодочек типа ApplePie2, без смолы и стеклоткани - на стрингерах, силиконе и шурупах. Погрузку на багажник надо облегчать :-)

[@vonhier]

I agree! Weight is always a critical item. This little boat is hanging outside my yacht all year long - no need to lift it up onto the roof of a car or into a van.

[@viktorbabay2905]

Спасибо за пояснение! Лебёдкой спускать на воду и поднимать на борт - это конечно не руками и вес тогда действительно не критичен. А ботик у Вас получился замечательный, отличная работа!!
