Easy to Build, Unsinkable, Car-Topable and Family-Friendly! Carries 3 Adults!! The OZ Goose! Week_15

[@isaacpaulsen1158]

There's something therapeutic about watching all this boat building engineering.

Having built a more conventional hull shaped small boat, seeing you stand the goose on its side does make me a little jealous. It will be so easy to store stood on its side against a wall!

Oh nice ! I am here in the middle ! I'll be sailing a lot soon 😁

[@TheBoatRambler]

We'll have a blast! 😁

Great vido👍

Thanks David

It's a joy to watch your build videos, thanks for sharing it all. I have a used Oz Goose that I just bought and will be adding hiking straps, and a few other brilliant modifications that you have used on yours. Really appreciate the clarity and thoroughness of your presentations. I hope to see the final attachments for your downhaul and lower sheet block as I don't want to sheet from the boom either.

Hi Jerry! I will be rigging the Goose this week and will try to show the differences between my set up and the standard setup for the Oz Goose. Nevertheless, Michael has two very detailed videos on rigging on the OZ Goose website. It would be worth watching as the basic stuff like attaching the sail to the spars etc will be the same. www.opengoose.com/tuning-and-setup/rigging-details-oz-goose-sailboat-other-lug-rigged-sailboats/

Teo, great content again, you have given me a few ideas as I continue to optimise my goose. I have had 3 good outings in the boat and am learning a lot. I am seriously thinking about making a carbon fibre scow-bow add-on this winter as the slamming going upwind against the Eastern Mediterranean chop is quite significant - makes me feel like the mast is going to punch a hole floor. However by the end of this summer I might be a better sailor and can learn to avoid the worst of upwind slamming. I will be VERY interested to see how you get on upwind in a seaway.

Hi Michael, have you read Michael's article on sailing waves in the Goose? www.opengoose.com/tuning-and-setup/boat-handling/sailing-in-waves-oz-goose/

[@RulgertGhostalker]

good notes on the downhaul. that is another reason why I specified dyneema sail cloth, on the rotating spar; where the tension, one does get into the tacks, does not also need to account for elasticity.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Hi Erik, Spectra isn't that expensive nowadays but the difference in performance is significant. The Halyard is another place where you don't want any stretching on a balanced lug sail aswell...

One of those plastic beads you find on kids coats would do the trick on the tiller extension..

[@danc2779]

Great work! Thank you for sharing.

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thanks for watching!

[@hurdurdur7rl696]

thumbs up for the bigger backing plate instead of just washers, good decision

[@TheBoatRambler]

Those holes through the Paulownia scared me a bit! 😅

[@BensWorkshop]

Good work and coming along!

[@TheBoatRambler]

Thank you Ben!
