Really great. Thx for sharing :)

Aye m8’s, What a relief to finally see it ready and finished! This might be the pram to be most proud of, ever!

[@donaldbaumgartner9621]

Well that was easy content of past posts ... just take a break ... you deserve it!

[@Clarks-Adventure]

Sure, no biggie. Just hunting down, organizing and sorting through about 15 hours of 2-year-old footage from 3 different cameras, adding music, syncing clips, adding titles...SUPER easy project. There's a reason this series took me 2 years to finish. The videos took longer to create than the boat! -E

[@donaldbaumgartner9621]

@@Clarks-Adventure I think you may have misinterpreted my comment or, more likely, my comment was poorly composed. I remain constantly amazed at the amount of effort and time it must take to first film and then edit and post-produce the content associated with your channel ... all on a weekly deadline. Certainly a full time job on top of all the jobs associated with boat life and no vacation in sight.

[@srmetamorphose]

Beautiful! I love all of your added details. The rope rub rail is a great idea. I built a CLC Wood Duck kayak. It was a great learning experience and I love paddling it. It took me 7 months to build, though. I look forward to building a sailing dinghy.

[@sailingarista]

Beautiful boat! Any lessons learned? What would you do different?

[@douglassprague8410]

I've waited so long...I don't want to watch it otherwise what else is there to look forward to in life!

[@McFadyenAerospace]

Looks great with the varnish, especially the decorative cutouts on the bulkhead. I used lots of the tips in your videos to help build mine. The CLC manual is really good, but your videos helped a lot especially since I hadn’t built a boat before. Thanks for doing all of the extra work of making and posting the videos!

[@Garryck-1]

At last! The final episode of the dinghy saga! Well done, Emily! You're inspiring me to get back out into the shed and get to work finishing my Chameleon Dinghy, now the weather is finally getting warm enough for epoxy work. How are the repairs going?

[@scarol99]

An impressive project, well executed, and a wonderful result. Congrats!

[@josepha.freivaldsr.9636]

Just a beautiful boat built by a beautiful person with a great coach. How can you beat that?

Emily that was awesome, you did a fantastic job, thank you so much for sharing your adventure, you have inspired me and I am sure many.

[@Hotzenplotz1]

Emily, there need to be far more women like you out there. Especially on sailing boats everyone needs to be able to do any work in case the other one is sick or injured laying down in the cabin. For the safety of both of you. Great job!

I can't believe you varnished the entire thing with a 1" brush!! Congratulations, you saw it through and got it done! I'm on my 4th because I just can't stop myself. I admire your guts for going getting plans and fabricating all of the wood parts yourself.

[@theraptureisnearbelieveinj7695]

That’s so awesome guys! Very happy for you Emily! :) So much hard work was put into that! My stepdad has also built historical ships that are in museums around the country. Have fun with that sailboat! :)

Sailboat Story captain also built a dinghy and it took about 3 months full time, but, like you, ended up with exactly what he wanted in a beautiful little boat. I learned a lot from your videos - thank you.

[@michaeljoyce2096]

I would consider hiring you to build houseboats.

you built the boat the same color as your hair! (then you painted it!)

[@anthonyelyas2040]

Now this one needs to be added to the "show us your dinghy" review series!

[@johnrathbun3641]

Yeah, I finally got to see you finish your project. I liked the part at the beginning of the video when you had sawdust on your glasses than you took off your safety glasses and you had sawdust on your eye lashes. But you did a magnificent job. Don't you just love the feeling of completing a project and standing back and admiring it. Great job.

[@sailingcitrinesunset4065]

Nice work! Did you find you had to add any ballast? Q

[@Clarks-Adventure]

No. This kind of boat doesn't use ballast. It's all about hull shape and where the captain sits.

[@roygumpel8415]

how did you attach the rope rubrail??

[@Clarks-Adventure]

She opened the rope a bit and ran a screw through one strand such that the head is inside the closed rope. I was kinda proud of that idea I developed for a boat I designed and built years ago. It held up well. -Clark

[@generationxrp2490]

Emily, its was very enjoyable watching you build F.I.N. The ONLY nesting, not nesting, nesting pram. After watching a few videos of other builders of this pram, I noted you hadn't read the plans, but these are lessons not mistakes. Great determination, dedication and skills too. The jigsaw queen! My plans are now on the way; same boat (I'll check the nesting part too) and maybe I'll record my build to help the next person; and get some tips too. I learnt a lot from watching you, so thank you for making this series. A year on and you're still inspiring others. Wherever you go next, if people ask what you do, you can say "I'm a boat build".

[@John-Nada]

Cool boat, good job. Sailing Bacchus used one of these for their primary dingy. I miss that channel.

[@cid4887]

Wow, i waited for so long about the continuation of this dinghy making. The very first reason of me subscribing earlier.

Inspiring. Sail F.I.N. with joy and pride. Emily, I am so proud of you.

[@MCYCCFL]

This what it looks like when an artist builds a boat. Nice job Emily.

[@upspirate]

Great videos of a great boat and build. I was thinking of building one, but we are much heavier than you, so we decided to build the Passagemaker instead. Then we found a used PM and refinished it instead. I think sometimes it may have been easier to do a new build instead of refinishing! CLC makes some fine kits

[@robertrobert5188]

Well done Em. Most of us dream of doing what you have done. I hope it inspires many more to do the same.

[@paulcarlsen4088]

I am a “stitch and glue” addict. I’ve built 2 kayaks, and have decided to build a CLC pram with the extra marine plywood I have. I do not know how to sail, and I think the pram will fit the bill. I purchased too much a few years ago for a skiff I built-finding marine plywood is difficult or non-existent in the land locked State of Idaho. Thank you for the series, and showing us how it was all done!

[@Clarks-Adventure]

This is a great boat to learn to sail on. Very stable do you can forget the boat and concentrate on the sail and rudder. Also rows great

It has bottom paint but most nights it's hauled up on Temptress' side so it's stored out of the water.

@@Clarks-Adventure I'm thinking of building one - how do you like it as a yacht tender (is it really "tippy", can two adults really fit in it?).

[@Clarks-Adventure]

For us, it's not a practical dinghy for two full sized adults to use every day. But no, it's not very tippy at all. In fact, we have not been able to tip it over yet. But we wouldn't want to carry a bunch of groceries or full gas cans in it. CLC does make larger dinghies that would probably make great tenders. -E

@@Clarks-Adventure That's kinda what I figured - thanks for the feedback and sail safe!

Clark here. I think that little boat could safely carry a lot. Not fast mind you but it has abilities that Emily hasn't really seen. She has always had a 12 foot boat to do big jobs with but in the past I've done a lot in boats like hers. It's all about your personal requirements.
