Thank you Teo, Enjoying this build Series..screw-ups and all!!! Lots of good tips…like for the jigsaw at 20:30. Cheers Livio

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thanks Livio!

[@marcus_k85]

Great work again!! Looking forward seeing you on the water in April 😊

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thanks Marcus!

I used cheap router bits and ruined a piece when the bearing failed and fell off. Great videos, thanks for sharing.

[@liamstone3437]

You have a router now. You should make a scarf sled and make your scarfs that way from now on.

[@TheBoatRambler]

I don't think I will be making many scarfs after this boat is finished but it's always something for me to build if I get bored! 😁

[@colrodrick8784]

@@TheBoatRamblerI’d build one of those iff I were making lots of scarphs too. Instead I grab the belt sander or for a work out a rasp and then sandpaper. There’s a sled design on line from Jim Mikalak (Jim’s Boats).

I love every video, watch them as soon as I see them. Been watching for years

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thank you very much for your support! 😉

[@erikhedl2084]

We can't wait to see you launch! You are quite the craftsman.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thanks for watching!

Hey Teo, Great! Its id nice that you got "sponsored /supported" by RSS and Michael Storer and his wife , you deserve it for great video and being so humble and real

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thanks Nathan! 😁

[@michaelbell7465]

To speed up the scarfing process, mark the wood and cut the majority with a jig saw. Then set up for plane.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thanks for the tip. On smaller scarfs I actually cut them with a tenon saw and just finish with sandpaper. 😉

[@geneberry7114]

RSS really are nice sails, I have the GIS sail on my Welsford Saturday Night Special, and a friend has the same sail on his Michalak Mayfly 16.

I’ve really enjoyed watching you build this boat and your other videos. If I’m not mistaken, you debated using a dagger board or a center board on the boat. Personally, I like that center boards fold neatly into the box instead of having to pull the dagger board up and worrying about hitting the boom. My experience is very limited and I’m sure you had a good reason for going the way you did. I’ve found a number of videos showing how to build a center board, the box, and how to install it but none I’ve seen have shown how to rig one. Even though you chose the dagger board, would it be possible for you to make a video, or use a few minutes in one of your videos, showing the basics of rigging a center board in case one of us wanted to use one? Just a basic overview would be very helpful and I could probably figure out the details on my own. I’m asking this of you instead of someone from the videos I’ve seen making them because you are very good at explaining the what you’re doing and why. I’m looking forward to the next video and can’t wait to see this amazing, funky looking boat in the water! Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Hi, a swing centerboard was never an option for this build. -it would take up a lot more space on the cockpit making it harder to sleep aboard -It would need a complete different structure to support it -it would take more time to make -It would unbalance the boat if not fully deployed The dagger board has many advantages here. -very small center case -easy to build -you can sail with it at any depth and the boat's balance (CoE/CLR) will always stay the same, This is also valid for the cassette ruder comparing to a kick up rudder. I can not show you how to build a swing board as I have never built one. Cheers, Teo

[@KellyGerald-z9q]

@@TheBoatRambler thanks for clarifying this for me. I guess I saw the question of dagger board vs center board in a completely different boat build video. It’s not surprising that I got confused after watching so many back to back videos in a very short amount of time. That’s what happens when I get obsessed. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ll be looking forward to more of your great videos

[@liamstone3437]

I hope you will show a list of tack (blocks, cleats, lines etc.) that you use with sizes and brand. That would be helpful. Thanks.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Hi Liam, I will detail all the rigging bits I'll use to rig it my way but you can already find a list on the OZ Goose website, down to the spec of the yard and all other lines.

[@BensWorkshop]

Good work. Looking forward to seeing it in the water.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Coming soon Ben! 😁

[@MikStorer]

Welcome about the sail Teo. Really appreciate the videos you are making. I guess you have a little commercial interest with Really Simple Sails now even though it was our surprise! But I know you will do your own thing in your own way :)

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thanks again Michael! I will give that sail good use! 😁😁

[@shantoochristopher1153]

Hi, instead of a retractable dagger board...why not to make the sides of the boat little longer to make kind of huge fins, both sides?

[@TheBoatRambler]

Hi, that would be a question for the designer but I can think of a few reasons... the sides are made of 4mm plywood which would break too easy, the long fins would not have any hydrodynamic shape, there would be more wetted surface causing unnecessary drag, and I bet a few more good reasons too.

[@ThaJay]

In theory you can just increase the diameter of the hollow boom to make it much stronger. The core contributes almost nothing to the strength.

[@TheBoatRambler]

And that is exactly what I'm doing right now! 😉

[@pontuswendt2486]

Would it be possible to build it out of pine or other cheap wood instead of marineplywood? Since I feel marineplywood is a liitle to expensive. Have plans to build a few for the sailingschool. Great videos love watching this series and others of you!!! Love the pedagogical aspects!

[@TheBoatRambler]

Hi, yes you could cheap wood and waterproof plywood. Not sure how well pine glues with epoxy... You can also save money by coating all the faces inside the tanks with only one coat of epoxy and only the exposed ones with the 3 recommended coats. Also no need to paint the boat with 2 pot primers and 2 pot paints. Also since pine is heavier you could downsize all the 19x19mm interior gluing cleats to 15x15mm Using 6mm for the bottom will save you money compared to using 5mm and then having to glass it! You should still get a few years of use out of them. Buy good wood for the mast tho! You can also get two old windsurf masts to make yard and boom. 😉

[@pontuswendt2486]

@@TheBoatRambler Thanks for the well written answer! One step closer to putting all preparations into practice! Looking forward to next video!

[@hurdurdur7rl696]

Nice progress with the boat! There's a video out there about the goose in rough waves - throwing water up from the center case, how do you plan to tackle that? There is a video called "Sailing Oz Goose in gusty wind" where at around 10 second mark you can see it, it seems the hull angle just bumps the water in there.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Hi, I have seen that video before and I must confess it worried me a bit as I like a dry boat. I might fit a centerboard gasket similar to what you have on a 420 dinghy but I don't think I will bother with the recess on the bottom...

[@LuckyTown77]

PD Racer ?

OZ Goose! 😉

Again, no eye protection, no mask. If you’re doing an educational video, use proper safety equipment!

[@TheBoatRambler]

Hi buddy, I don't make educational videos nor do I intend to be an influencer, I'm just showing ppl my skiff build. People are free to do as they wish, use safety gear or not, it's a choice...their choice.

[@colrodrick8784]

⁠​⁠@@TheBoatRamblerI’m assuming that we’re all adults here, able to read manuals and weigh the risks. I agree that it’s better to be safe, but sometimes it’s more effort than it’s worth. I have a mate who refuses to have a guard on his angle grinder. He says it’s easier to see and that’s important to him. He does however use a pair of safety glasses ALWAYS. In his case too many trips to the hospital to remove metal bits from his eyes.

[@TheBoatRambler]

@@colrodrick8784 there's one tool I dont mess about with: angle grinder! I NEVER use it without wearing safety gogles.

[@LuckyTown77]

Again the worst offense on the internet this week.

[@MichaelAppleby_art]

Another great video - thanks for all the effort.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Appreciated Michael!
