In this episode I clear out space in my garage and discuss my plans to build a 14’ mini-cruiser capable of crossing oceans.
Although I have several customizations in mind, the basis of the boat design will be the plans for the Tenten 425 Version 2 designed by Jerome Delaunay. Some exciting features of the design I look forward to making build videos about:
Trim-tab self steering
Custom DIY waterproof round hatch
Oval doghouse featuring seated interior steering position with 360° visibility
Interior tiller/whipstaff steering system in addition to external tiller
Sheets/other control lines on deck and in the cabin for foul weather sailing
Retractable bowsprit
Spinning mast to furl mainsail
Ventilation system, leak-proof through a 360° roll

In this episode I begin work on the jig which will hold the boat and help form its shape as it’s being built. I also discuss another feature I’m excited to incorporate into the design, a cockpit with no footwell. This boat is not being built for the cocktail party, it’s being built to cross oceans.

What an interesting project! I am stoked to follow the build and see this craft in action. Thanks for documenting and sharing.

[@youaregodspursuit-47]

Makes me happy to tag along ... 76 yrs old and wanted to sail all my life. This becomes legal voyeurism ... I thank you. It is kind of you to share. And I appreciate the actual hours you have spent get this point.

[@Thibauddeves]

Bravo pour ce projet, je suis en train de rattraper mon retard. Superbe construction. Je pense que votre idée du biquille est très bonne, d'ailleurs Yann quenet a modifié son baluchon et l'a équipé de 2 quilles. Bravo et merci de nous faire partager cette construction

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thanks for watching. I was inspired to start my project because of Yann while he was still sailing on his circumnavigation, then I was excited to see him come back to France and decide to change his boat to twin keels. I think it's a good choice.

[@mattholley3642]

Trailerable, ocean capable, self build? Subscribed immediately. Awesome! Exactly what I’m looking for. Can’t wait to watch this come together.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Awesome, welcome!

[@robertwiley7744]

Just found your channel by chance, and immediately subscribed. I've been looking to get into building a small, seaworthy boat myself for some time and look forward to your progress.

[@chasjetty8729]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking to see. Thanks friend.

[@JoesCaribbeanVanLife]

Godspeed ! 🍀 I'm in for the journey!

[@felixcat9318]

This is one of the most interesting boat building projects I've seen. Your logical and thoroughness appeals and I'm happy to have found your channel and to subscribe.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Very kind, thanks!

[@brettbarce8563]

Just found your channel🤙 sounds like a good plan, now I'll have to catch up on all your videos, good luck with the build

[@elliotw5918]

I'm subscribed! Been looking into a small boat for a couple of years now. Looking forward to seeing this boat come together.

[@garygoldstein6023]

Good to see someone young incorporating Yrvind's clever functional designs and tactics. Hope you set aside room in vessel for a video production process-- would love to see the end product in motion

[@PabloOlmedoJr]

nice boat

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Can this also be using in the diving seat or the chair aka Hat

[@westcoastdean]

Great video! Inspiring!

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DarrenMalin]

nerve been a fan of dagger boards the case is always a problem. They also take up to much internal space.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

that's what I was thinking too.

[@theresnobodyhere5778]

all makes sense to me i.m just about to adapt a little 19ft trailer sailer in a good coastal long distance sailer ,looking forwards to your videos hoping to to get good tips on how to go about doing things

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Very good! Hope you get some good ideas from the channel.

[@feliperamirez8130]

Hello friend. Your channel is very good, but one detail, how do I get the plans?

[@cvspvr]

google tenten 425 plans

[@tanksouth]

Subbed. Thank you.

[@jamescumbridge7772]

Is thier a book with thies type of boats i like the idea but this one is just to small for us . To give you an idea of what i am looking at. a spray 22 or 27 both are trailerbale

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Try a search for Jérôme Delaunay's other larger designs. He did the initial plans for this.

[@kennethmiller6158]

Do you watch wave rover he is building a new boat now I'll be to plywood he has an excellent idea and help you build all the way real reward or something that you're talking about or you can stand up in the water would come in the cabin and he sail it 7800. Miles

[@alfredojunior5780]

Your channel is very good, I am building a microcruiser in Brazil too. The project is mine and if you want to see it, just look for " Construção do Veleiro MAR SEM FIM ". Thank you.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Very good! Looks like a nice boat.

[@xandolucena]

Hi there! i met Yann in my town Recife, before his departure back to France, and I asked what changes he would make if he reviewd his plans, and he said he would make the space for his bed tighter! and a few more changes... anyway sailing this kind of boat is very shaky and tiresome as it is responsive to waves. Yann is a short but very tough guy, and he reads a lot of novels.

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Thanks for the info! A tighter bed, that's very interesting. I'll have to set it up so I can kind of wedge myself to one side of the cabin for secure sleeping.

[@travelartblog65]

Just out of interest sake. What is your anticipated budget?

[@mariajosemorenoguerrero8638]

Espero que nadie se ahogue con este proyecto

[@ocean_capable_small_sailboat]

Yo también.

[@stevec5576]

Pay up your life insurance before you go, your wife will thank you.

[@youtruckrek5121]
