Building Duracell's Dinghy [E123]

[@TheDuracellProject]

A few folks have asked us where they can find the kit for building this dinghy. The Scout 14 isn't available yet, but you can find the Scout 10, the same boat, just 3.5 feet shorter, here: duckworks.com/plans-kits/kits-and-packages/scout/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwrIixBhBbEiwACEqDJY8q70Y_nLrNNAPWKAvznYevG7OLd0nMN2Ta6-HF-vCXAXUjGTv6ARoCA-kQAvD_BwE

That guy was cool building a boat for his Grandkid, very cool man

[@christopherbrand5360]

9:40 "Get to work honey." Fantastic insight into how the Duracell project continues apace :)

[@PitWChannel]

I love how humble Matt integrates himself in the class. Not bragging about that he does boatwork for a living, but enjoying the group and to working with other guys.

[@EUC-lid]

I can’t wait to show this episode to my kid, who is taking some dinghy sailing camps this summer and has played extensively on the first dinghy you reviewed in this episode. I have a feeling we’ll be stitching and gluing together after school this Fall.

[@paulowens6838]

really cool to see modern blending with classic. CNC cut panels, plastic zip ties, modern epoxy and woven glass.... and sleek classic hull lines. Super cool stuff!

[@thomastest8824]

Very Nice. In also follow Magic Carpet and enjoyed watching him build his Duck Dingy in his in-laws shop. I'm thinking about trying it too! Live to sail, Sail to live!

[@robertzapatka1082]

Since building Duracell is a slow meticulous process, it was great to see these little sailboats come together so quickly. What a way to inspire people to take on bigger projects!

[@bradleylampo2535]

Looking at that view makes me want to go get on the Bremerton ferry just to get out on the water. It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Olympia 💜💜💜⛵️⛵️⛵️

[@PN_48]

Love it! I built a stitch and glue kayak last winter - it’s so satisfying seeing all the parts zip together and the hull shape being formed. I especially like the idea of using dowel pieces to keep the ridges in alignment. Very cool!

[@jimedson3853]

How fun! And a productive result too. A nice break from the 'other' project. Thanks for the video 👍👍😁

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thanks, Jim!

[@Deutschtown]

Always a surprise every week. Looks like the Northwest has as big of a tradition in boat building as does the Maine coast.

[@bobflores]

Love walking into that building, especially, on the wooden boat festival weekend in September. Looks like a fun class. That is going to be a great tender for Duracell. Thanks for the episode.

[@TheDuracellProject]

hi Bob, it's a beautiful shop

[@wallacegrommet9343]

I anchor directly offshore from Waterfront Pizza, and dinghy in as needed!

[@billywhizz6483]

This is up there with one of the most enjoyable boaty videos I've watched on KZbin! Great project, interesting to see the process and excellent videography/editing. Many thanks!

[@TheDuracellProject]

Thank you!!

[@dcallan812]

A boat in a box? It looks very nice. Easy build thats handy for Matt 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just joking he has proved he can work with his hands, just look at how Duracell is coming along. Great video work. 2x👍

[@dcdow180]

What a wonderful episode, watching these boating enthusiasts building their own boats is extremely satisfying

[@theboatgeeks]

All we could think in the first 10 seconds was how big would an "Open-60-in-a-Box" be?! 🙂Love it!

[@chicobicalho5621]

From the scenes inside, this looks like a beautiful shop.

[@reinhardweise9755]

thanks for sharing this project, real nice digression, can't wait for next week

[@marcoartini7480]

What a beautiful experience guys! I love that you shared everyone's story in the video. Thank you!

[@til7545]

Lovely episode! This class looks absolute fun and the speed at which this assembly line pushes out boats is incredible!!! Would love to be part of it😅

[@nytrocircus]

What an awesome little boat! I introduced my daughter to sailing on our Sunfish, which is ok, but the space in the scout is amazing. Laminating fiberglass onto wood vs foam doesn't seem different, you've been 'wooden boat building' with foam / coosa board is all...

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

That’s really cool you made this experience a team build so you could accomplish a lot in a short amount of time! Well played!

[@Tomm9y]

It reminds me of my Dad building a 10' sailing dinghy - popular in 1970's UK & Ireland. It seems Matt enjoyed his time 'team building' boats. Sailing Magic Carpet built a smaller sailing/rowing dinghy, I don't recollect if it was a Scout. It's such a great way to get hold of a decent dinghy.

[@scottjones536]

You have a good eye. Aladino of Sailing Magic Carpet did indeed build a Scout, but not this size. He built the original size, a 10' dinghy.

[@jannikgabriel]

So cool that you work with local boatbuilders in this great project! ❤

[@teresalewelling7318]

Thank you for sharing this with me. I just love it.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

I wish we had stuff like this where I live! I'm right on Lake Erie, and one of these would be sweet to take out to go sailing and fishing. Looking forward to part 2. 👍👍

[@anthonymaddison9588]

The video production is excellent.

[@andrewmoylan6295]

Great choice Matt, shame you couldn't the whole crew helping on Duracell. Wicked little dingy

[@jeffhudson4817]

Looked like fun. Nice break from Duracell. Would not mind doing that myself. Stay safe brother.

[@littlejohnny47]

Great idea to use hillbilly music for a Pacific Northwest sailboat build. So appropriate! Thanks Yanni!

[@michaelbinion2555]

I can't wait for the next episode. This is really great. Thanks for sharing this.

[@artmraz]

Wow what a cool concept for building boats can't wait to see the final product (:oo

[@ThoughtfulWander]

great episode! Keep rolling along Duracell team! Very nice Dingy! 👍👍 Got to get the Inspectors take on it! 🐈🐈🤣🤣😂😂👍👍

[@Stoo48]

Like building a Mirror back in the day!

[@U20E27]

Thanks for doing this!!! I have been wanting to do a build like this for yrs. Might be time to do one!

[@daveclemmer4536]

Nice! That is easier to glass the parts on the inside before assembly instead of glassing the inside afterwards. 😊

[@TheDuracellProject]

Oh hi Dave! Hope you’re having fun boat building in Norway.

[@daveclemmer4536]

​@@TheDuracellProjectOi, ja! Det er kjempespennende for å hjelpe med vikingskipprojektet her! Jeg kommer til å sende deg bilder når jeg har på meg egen mine vikingklær. 😊

[@joecioe8566]

I enjoy this type of build it yourself projects.

[@lincolngrove2808]

An excellent diversion while you finish the shed (I guess).

[@reeeeeeeam511]

This is a silly comment but I visited Port Townsend a few years ago while I was going to UW in Seattle before I knew that both Duracell and Tally Ho are located there. Unbelievable how rich the maritime culture is in the Puget Sound.

[@TheDuracellProject]

Pt is a very boaty place

[@BaronKreger]

Cool little boats.

[@markgallagher1376]

Awesome!! I’m building a boat right now too, but it’s not a stitch and glue.

[@williammyers6766]

What a wonderful video. Sure wish I was young again. By the way, I love the music!!!!

[@1519Spring]

Was wondering what was gliding along above and behind Matt's head at 15:59 until I saw the next overhead shot at 16:26 and realized that was a camera on a rope/wire rig. Nice shots. 16:16 "Shooting!"

[@user-ry1jm9hw6w]

What a great video love it

[@chrislee7817]

Has a bit of a look of a Drascombe, only much more lightly built and slimmer lines. Nice looking dinghy. 👍

[@RNVOS]

It’s coming so far ! Keep it up! ❤ from 🇨🇦 bc

[@gradydees9981]

Cool dinghy builds 😊

[@judebug329]

How fun! I hope the inspector gets to look over your work…🐈

[@TheDuracellProject]

She will do an inspection I’m sure

[@robertgarbe6348]

these projects are fun. I built a CLC Passagemaker take apart last winter.

[@erikjalefors9377]

fun project ! sleek lines on that dingey =)

[@jackwalby6257]

Looks like it should row like a dream. My family has a peanut class cold molded dinghy built in Norway sometime in late 50s . My dad got from a Sears store in Minneapolis for almost nothing as they weren't selling well and they were going to burn them 😮. He to pick and choose the best parts, rudder, dagger board, rig and sails. Hence or sail numbers don't match the hull number. Look up Peanut class.

[@martinbarker5045]

They seen like a great bunch of guys 👍

[@davidmedley9652]

Great video!!

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

I think supervising and teaching is about right for the fibreglass steps. Lol

[@MarcelEling]

Nice workshop:) Same boat as Magic Carpet?😅

[@TheDuracellProject]

Yep! Just 3 feet longer

[@JamesAyton-qu8fo]

Another great video Yani and Matt. I've never seen stich and glue before, what a great idea. I take it the holes for the ties were pre done at cnc? I have two sons who followed me into aircraft contracting and they both found a niche in cnc and went permi, so flat packs always have an interest for me. Maybe I could get them to cut me one if I get the programme. Looking forward to the next instalment. Keep the scissors clean and dont melt the handles Matt! Godbless all three of you (and the inspector!) ❤

[@TheDuracellProject]

Yes holes are pre done

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Great Stuff!!! CHEERS from HERE!

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@wallacegrommet9343]

I would love to dump my old heavy RIB for for one of these. Row, baby!

[@bobperry1269]

This is brilliant 🤩

[@benshore7357]

Good times 🎉 first ever stitch and glue assembly line

[@stevethurlow9059]

when working with a wood joint you must wet out each part with unthickened epoxy before adding a filler. ..the wood will absorb a joint and make a dry joint... look up West epoxy book on wood boat building

[@frankd2301]

I believe that is the same boat that Maya and Alidino built on magic carpet.

[@poepflater]

You lucky boy, I draw up a new ship form old plans almost daily trying to find the right fit.... currently have my eye on The Buddy, a tiny little 13' boat that can even be adapted for sailing... though I;m unlikely to go that way as i like fishing. Ihave my eye on nicer ones too, but I;m a pensioner, so gotta keep it real.

[@MichaelP-g5n]

Staring at all those fiber glassed panels makes me want to break out my vacuum press and vac bag them.

[@scottjones536]

Stay tuned...

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Great video

[@danloeber]

Sweet little dingy.

[@blueh2o117]

I'm doing a really good job of supervising right now hahahahahahaha 🙂

[@ejkrakowiak6905]

Very cool as always

[@kiwibobnz9812]

Said it once said it before I’m going to be dead by the time he finishes this boat hopefully he won’t be too OCD

[@TheDuracellProject]

just 2-3 more years

[@kiwibobnz9812]

@@TheDuracellProject that’s blown out way more since the last time I asked I will be dead so I won’t see the end of it

[@erictakakjian6021]

Hard dingy's are so much better than deflateables!

[@geoffworthington9425]

Thanks for the video looks fun and working with other men is good exercise

[@jerrymcintire7902]

Nice looking dinghy, and it will be easy to tow-- or fit on deck if you happen to have a 60' boat. I'm surprised NWMC would allow people to sand epoxy without a mask. I always wear one, that powder is nasty.

[@billjeffery2419]

How cool is that

[@markthompson9914]

What do u mean pt2 ? I was enjoying that 😂✌️🇬🇧

[@darrenreyneke]

Would love a pirate dinghy lol

[@mckenziekeith7434]

I guess they wouldn't let you vacuum bag the glass onto the panels huh? Just kidding. Nice dinghy and nice video.

[@TheDuracellProject]

It would take too long. Would be fun though....

[@kevinmartin3859]

That was an interesting video

[@leecogdell652]

Hey Matt, I’m just wondering what kind of wood are you using to make the dingy and as always you’re doing a great job and thank you 🙏

[@scottjones536]

The marine ply is by Joubert, the wood species is Okoume'

[@Tedroy]

Ok, so the banjo is not my favorite instrument. But I dig a fiddle, so groove on mama. Interesting technique on the dinghy.

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

Cool looking plans. What will finished dingy weigh? Will You be able to beach it and get it back in the water without much trouble?

[@michaelvanwinkle7919]

It looks very seaworthy.

[@TheDuracellProject]

100 pounds so easy to carry for the two of us

[@sdau9660]

I was looking at them doing the fiberglass. I have done only some Fiberglass projects. I noticed they were applying the cloth on dry plywood and applied the resin on top of the cloth. I had good results applying resin, then cloth, then rolling. Does anyone have input on this?

[@Cranston0]

Your gonna wish you had a dinghy garage

[@hedleyjackson5131]

There’s a couple of places in the UK which do boat building classes like this very interesting to see how it works. Will you have deck chocks or Davit’s?

[@TheDuracellProject]

deck chocks

[@MRMV483]

As much as I love that sailing/rowing dinghy, wouldn't it be also very useful like tons of other cruisers to have an inflatable dinghy which can get up on plane with a 2stroke Yamaha for example? Or will this dinghy mount an engine as well.

[@TheDuracellProject]

Yes we will mount an electric engine. We want a good sailing and rowing dinghy.

[@flossey100]

Such a relaxing feel about building these six boats💖💖💖🇦🇺

[@NM-ql9er]

Always wanted to build a stitch and glue boat. Instead I bought one on eBay

[@arremsea]

Is this the same kind of dingy Aladino made for Magic Carpet II ?

[@TheDuracellProject]

Yea, just three feet longer

[@ChrisBrown-dz9sz]

Awesome!

[@MaShcode]

Why not stitch with hemp ties? Future proof the zip juggernaut.

[@sterlingarcher1962]

OMGUUUUUUUURD I wanna see how they glue up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LOL

[@skylarking12]

So, where on Duracell does the dinghy live? On deck? Off of aft davits? How do you get it in and out?

[@TheDuracellProject]

On the foredeck. We’ll show how it will store when it’s done

[@benmorham9652]

is there a link for more info on the boat kit?

[@TheDuracellProject]

You can find the scout 10 kit here, which is 3.5 feet shorter but otherwise the same boat. The scout 14 will be available soon! duckworks.com/plans-kits/kits-and-packages/scout/

[@Hwyl1]

Cool build. Did you consider exchanging roles in this build

[@TheDuracellProject]

We did actually think about it! Probably would have been a little rough for both of us though😂

[@stevebaker5642]

...will you ask all these guys if they want to now help with your build?

[@TheJarrodh]

A "wood" core boat, with fiberglass keeping it all together?

[@scottjones536]

That's a pretty accurate summary of stitch and glue boat building.

[@donwhitehead4587]

Sooo cool👍🏻

[@skylarking12]

Did I see some Puddle Duck Racers hanging on the wall? :-)

[@TheDuracellProject]

yep!

[@scottjones536]

And several Portage Prams

[@skylarking12]

I have this fantasy project in mind to make a trimaran using the Puddle Duck profile, or to extend the puddle Duck profile in length and make it the basis of a plywood knockoff of the Hobie Tandem island...
