Goat Island Skiff - named GIR

[@TuckerFamilyEC]

Sweet! My son and I just watched your video for the first time. His comments were and I quote, "look dad that is Santa with one of his elves taking a vacation from the north pole". Beautiful!

[@ErikssonTord_2]

Nice speed you're doing! Lovely boat, the right size for two!

[@ChaseSmallCraft]

Of course you want a mizzen Simon! It is pretty and super functional. Santa can come in the form of a kit from my shop. GIR, here, started as a kit in Maine!

[@TexasGIS]

I firmly believe that the forward mast step is necessary to help the boat track properly. With the mast in the normal location with mizzen up the mizzen would over power the rudder too quickly. When the mast is in the forward step she sails much nicer as a yawl.

[@sailhavasu]

That was awesome...love how you backed in with the mizzen!!!!

[@mheermance]

Wow, you were flying. That looked like so much fun I watched it twice.

[@travelbywater9378]

Looks like some hairy sailing, but you guys make it look pretty chilled. Nice.

[@SgtBrewdawg]

[@Captain_Bartolo]

Thank you for this fantastic video ! I like it :-)

[@pickleme101]

wow that looked like fun !!!!

[@JenniferJMcClanahan]

Did you have to move the front mast position when you added the second sail?

[@alwedworth]

Sweet video

[@colrodrick8784]

Do the fenders help to avoid tipping? Or are they there for gunwale protection?

[@alwedworth]

How is the camera mounted to the painters pole?

[@harryrisley8016]

John, I love the color on GIR! Is it epoxy? What is the color called. I'm building an Mikesbaot and would love to use it. However I plan to use epoxy paint on The boat. Is it available in Epoxy? thank you!

[@voltron63]

look like so much fun..!!!!!!

[@danielscott4514]

GIR ??? What does the G stand for? ;)

[@MrRourk]

She goes fast

[@VobiRocko]

Great!

[@FlatlandMando]

you can kind of see why this boat needs all the freeboard it has because water splashes quite high up the sides

[@jimkonst]

13 minutes without changing the camera view. Could have been a lot better. Really nice boat.
