Salt & Tar: Ep.304- Lapstrake Planking

[@johnmantione8309]

3:34 time to break out the plank stretcher! all kidding aside, your carpentry skills and attention to detail are on-point, this is a master-class in hand-building a dinghy, thank you for the entertainment and the education

[@jordanspedowski9555]

Garrett you need to go to harbor freight and get a couple pairs of safety wire pliers, it would make thing a whole lot easier

[@MCP53]

Thank you for another great episode! Here in the UK it has been raining cats and dogs big time. Canals with river sections were closed, but worst of all the mushroom vent above my bed sprung a leak! Today it finally dried out enough for me to do a temporary gaffer-tape fix around its base and can look forward to a dry bed. Soggy mattresses suck! All seems warm and dry in California 🙂

[@MegaTriumph1]

She is a Beauty. Nice work.

[@johnsherborne3245]

I agree both are

[@andrewjanzer3846]

I have watched every single video from the begining. Building a boat under a sheet plastic shed in the winter to here has been amazing. You two are the only people i follow on you tube that i would love to spend an afternoon sitting in a backyard and just hang out with and share stories! Keep it up you two!

[@JK-gn6qr]

Little Red is looking awesome!!

[@Bill39NYC]

Hi I have a suggestion, in my industry , we will sone times spray glue the pattern directly to the piece of wood , cut it out , then sand the pattern off. Great work , I enjoy watching you 2 build the tender

[@WPGinfo]

Little Red, very pretty, but not to be underestimated! Amazing to see her come together!

[@user-fe8gl2zs7p]

I is so nice to see you two as real partners tackling a project like that.

[@ciberbri59]

She’s a classy little beauty with lines to die for. She’ll take to the water like a swan. 🦢

[@lorettaleger2825]

I made a kayak once, so I have to say, you two do beautiful work. Bravo.

[@BenjaminT.Minkler]

yup yup, this is why all dads are required to keep a bunch of random junk, spares, old parts, and scraps in their garage, and no it is *not trash* and shouldn't all be cleared out to be gotten rid of, this is a 'collection' of things that could be useful ....yes maybe only 1% might be used in the next 15~20years, but it will be perfect for the thing you need, however you must keep it all because you just never know what will be needed - good job dad!

[@BrianGuilfoos]

She'll be a lovely addition to Rediviva. Much better than those inflatable numbers.

[@davidbamford4721]

Cable ties are another convenient way of securing the planks to each other. This is shaping up to be a very pretty boat. Let us hope that no-one decides that they like it enough to make off with it.

[@Jcap644]

Little red looks great, Ruth even better!

[@andrewgroves4175]

A perfect design to match 'Big Red'. You guys are the absolute best and l look forward to every episode with continued interest and a strong drop of envy. Wishing you both the best for the upcoming season of sailing, fair winds, smooth seas, health and happiness from Adelaide, Australia.

[@remyyamabushi1473]

Jolie petite embarcation.

[@darellgroves1506]

A Fantastic work in progress.

[@jameshughes6800]

great job guys not seen the little bird which was hanging around when you first started little red, all the best to you both ,,

[@quarlow1215]

Looking really sweet you two. Good job.

[@Bill-482]

Amazing how it all comes together well done guys

[@roadie3124]

I built an A-Class catamaran in 1979 out of 1/8" ply using stitch and glue. Each hull was two sheets of ply, 20' by 2'. I cut 8' by 4' sheets of ply in half lengthwise and used scarf joints to make almost 20' by 2' sheets. I had copper wire stitches every 3" or so. It worked really well.

[@TotalBoat]

Making great progress!!

[@stephenvictor1913]

Very satisfying to watch. I want more!

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

You are unsparing many people ❤ thank you 🙏

You put in another shot of the fence. Lovely.

[@ki6hzs]

Wow! Looks amazing! Good job. 👍🏼😎🙏🏼 John

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Looking good.. keep up the great work.

[@joshlenard4763]

Best thumb action I've seen in a while thamks Garrett!!!

[@jaktar58]

Look you guys, you've built a boat!!!!!

[@eggy68]

The knothole in the fence board! That was just tasty.

[@sjurgabriel]

I love your dinghy-project. Makes me want to build something similar myself. A perfect adition to the mothership :-)

[@pete.b4197]

You are lovely team!! I like this captens style doing everything 100% right,well!! All good for you guys!!👌👍☺️✌️🌻☀️🏝️✴️🍀🇫🇮☮️

[@raulpendas]

Garrett, you need to tell the lady (Boss), a.k.a. wife, that you belong to the guys who work hard. Therefore, the union contract says that you can take a break when you need one.😍😍

[@SVZonda]

WOW! That looks like a boat under there! All the best Richard 🇬🇧👍

[@SamuelKTennis]

Excellent video, thank you both for documenting this. Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me that Garrett was a bit reticent on the video blogging early in the series, Kudoes on him for really stepping up his game and embracing the intrusion into his private domain. The video editing, as always, was superb. Thank you both, very much, for contributing this documentary. As always I 'Liked' the video and I am 'Subscribed'! Sam

[@irish_ladd4]

Nice work! Can't wait for the end product.

[@Bruce-s1u]

Salt&Tar! Love watching you guys Build & Create!! 🚣🏽‍♀️👍❤️

[@jhaedtler]

Harbor Freight has safety wire twisters, You need ti get a pair if you build an other one! Looks fantastic!

[@dabruscar]

Looking AMAZING

[@tomheim8976]

What a great looking little boat! Garret is amazing boat builder, I would love to get him an Jouan from Ran sailing together and just listen while they talk boat building.

[@dkv68]

Beautiful work!!

[@toddvisser5445]

Nice looking boat

[@bloodyeyeful]

That's beautiful man

[@jamesnorman415]

WOW it just might be a boat! 😊

[@deniseslay9056]

Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing. You both help keep me afloat.

[@tototere]

Great progress. PS: Love the music. Reminds me a little of Buck65, Riverbed series.

[@jimsinclair2862]

Love your work brother... ahh if I were only 20 years younger.

Great job!

[@chelldan]

Sweet!

[@BusstterNutt]

Thank you, a great synopsis as alway.

[@jenniferdavis8088]

It is turning out so good!!!

[@Vendelcrow1948]

Hi guys!! Looking good!! Maybe reinforce the gunnel,since its there the most pressure happens. Instead of fenders,maybe you can find these grey halfhard plastic lenghts,that we have in sweden. Roughly a meter long,ca 4 cm thick, and 6-7 cm wide. Could be tied with string,and would cover entire gunnel...always there,no hassle with loose fenders.... Just an idea. Or fasten fenders lenghtwise along the gunnel.... Anyway,good luck and allda bestest from mikke ( now in greece)

[@luvwrks]

looks great…..good choice to match

[@president2]

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

[@ElleKendra]

I am kinda missin' the OG into and the your comin' too...

[@garyrobertson3645]

👍👍👍

[@DanielTiffany-o8i]

Fun 🤩

[@simonmaton]

I know it's a bit late but small cable ties are a lot easier than copper wire to work with! 🙂

[@robertgold2643]

😎

[@ED3]

Nice😊

[@EileenMetrejean]

Funny, you put the boat under the tree in the shade , but you are so sun burnt. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@tracyraley4003]

Looks good. Are you going to start on the other half now?😁

[@davidburgess741]

I almost bought this kit. Instead, I built a strip planked Cosine Werry. It took me probably 500 hours labor. For comparable looks and performance, I had to construct the mold stations from onion skin patterns in the book and construct the strongback first. Like you, all this was done outdoors but without benefit of California climate. 17 years later, I still have the completed boat in nice shape. I have built in stitch and glue and strip plank both, and each has it's benefits. I suspect strip plank is lighter, stronger, and more consistent. Would I change my choice now, with hindsite? Probably.

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

awesome work. did you have some sort of fence on the router when cutting the laps? I'm started building a Somes Sound 12 1/2 and hadn't considered using a router. thanks for sharing this, best, Chuck

[@TVDHaas]

How long is it going to take you two to sail that back to Rediviva? Haha. Looks good. Hope the paint job is going to match.

[@stevenplancich6449]

“Little Red” should be ready for paint soon enough😜…Will it be a color match as Redi Viva?

[@duanemiller5606]

Are you going to be adding like an aluminum strip from the bow down the length of the keel to protect the bottom of the boat when you go up to Rocky beaches? Or maybe some carbon fiber strips going down the center of the keel or possibly the whole under the waterline portion of the boat.

[@dyls1rx7]

Please don't terminate the rabbit :(

[@rupertgale537]

Is 'Big Bruce' going to join 'Little Red'?

[@kayweiss1862]

when my simcard internet connection works at my Himalayan hermit homestead ,I check sometimes on sailing channels ,because I miss the sea. Your story of building and sailing your own wooden boat as a lovely couple is very nice and commendable and I have heard poetry in your story telling . I rejoice .Personally ,I prefer metal and wooden and bamboo boats ,all of them recyclable ,whereas modern 'plastic' boats have an ongoing ,unsolved environmental problem . In this dinghy project ,you will use lots of fiberglassing for strength . I wonder ,why ,capable craftspeople as you are ,you did not make an aluminum dinghy ,with great sail and rowing capabilities, longer lasting and adding welding to your skills ?
