Welcome to Captain Wulkie's Garage

[@ulissescobucci4915]

I'm building a sailboat 11 foot to cruise the ocean. This was one of the best video the show everything completely so fast

[@wulkie]

Thanks and good luck with your build. I would be interested to learn more about your boat. 11 foot is not very big...

Thank you for this meticulous masterclass on the Stitch & Glue technique, your videos help to instil confidence in amateur boat builders. Your tutorial cuts through language barriers and enables viewers to see detail, technique, application and method, all in meticulous detail. In your little garage/boatyard, beautiful craft emerge, each crafted with care and attention to detail. Thank you for producing such excellent videos.

[@wulkie]

I am honored and humble! Thanks 🤗

True that!

[@peaceknight5485]

This is quite a pro job. Well assembled and sturdy boat. Congratulations.

I like this country music theme music you have used as the background music to this video. Sounds really nice.

[@jackrabbit5047]

Great work. I hadn't realized you laid on two layers of fiberglass - that is going to be one tough hull!

[@wulkie]

Thanks 👍

[@kennylaxague5528]

Very nice, Captain. Great job with the patterns - I hadn't seen some of these techniques before. I also hadn't seen two layers of bottom fiberglass at once! Keep plugging. My Navigator took 3 years, but It's not as pretty as your build (and I'm totally fine with that). Let me assure you, the first minute in your boat will make it all worthwhile.

[@wulkie]

Thanks for the message and glad you learned something new 😉

[@alldogsaregooddogs100]

Wow brother! This project looks to have taken you about 3 years this far. Such a beautiful creation. I appreciate your attention to every detail and the perfection you seek. Just awesome!

[@fabmanly1070]

Love watching your vids. Was wanting to build, but soon realised it was going to cost more to buy the tools than build the boat, so now I just watch.

[@wulkie]

Agree. Building is for the fun. If you want to sail you buy one

[@BigFiveJack]

You've got to be very happy with the whole experience! I applaud you most sincerely!!!

[@jdtracy]

Wow! This has to be one of the best series of videos I have seen on YT. Let alone on the topic of stitch and glue boat building. I am looking to do a very basic plywood boat (triloboat) but these videos are not only incredibly informative and succinct, but expertly produced. I applaud you on so many levels. Bravo!

[@wulkie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jadekayak01]

That was a well spent 17:36 of my life. You can tell youve done this before. Proper scarfing,transcribing lines,squeeging the epoxy and steam bending. Very nice job all round.

Great vlog, even greater boat build. I have only built one boat in my life, but I admire anyone that takes on the task. You really put together a great little sailboat. Great idea for your steam box! You have a great pup and great way with the pigeon(squab). Shoot, I thought I’d get to see her finished and a maiden voyage. I’ll sub and look for more vlogs!

[@CMAenergy]

Please forgive me for saying this But a little wisdom some times saves lives That boat although it looks very good and you did your best, Please do not take it out in any real rough weather The reason I say this Fiberglass although fairly strong, it has it's weakness Those seams you did along the bottom of the boat without proper support on them will eventually weaken, and you may find yourself with a torn open bottom, Fiber glass will eventually form very small working cracks. I've seen fiberglass rip off the wood and also form minute cracks where there is flexing, Watch the belly for those cracks to appear some time in the future depending on how much you use the boat, You may be able to lengthen the life of the boat if you can put some ribs lengthwise along those joints, And never use OSB for any boat works. If you don't believe me, Check with some accredited fiber glass boat builders,

[@wulkie]

Thanks for the advice. I will also ask the design maker for advice and share your feedback. I do plan to sail it aslo on open sea but not permanent of course

[@brinjoness3386]

the seams have 3 layers of glass and resin plus 1 properly epoxied fillet. i doubt many stitch and glue designs ask for more.

Beautiful boat, where to buy the plans

[@wulkie]

Hi. I bought mines hers: www.selway-fisher.com/GPDinghyover13.htm#GFI

[@vicmore1]

@@wulkie now left doubts, which one to choose ??? rsrsrsrs

[@wulkie]

Mines is callled Kingfisher 14. But it depends what you want/need

[@Antipodean33]

Can I ask you why you did the double lay up? I understand strength/wear factor on the underside but usually a 6 inch wide strip along the keel line would suffice. I'm thinking added weight and cost for not alot of benefit

[@wulkie]

The plywood is pretty flexible si adding an extra layer oposite to the first in terms of fibre direction makes the hull more steardy. I learned this from another project

[@おとはまちゃん]

What is the device to prevent the tableware and pot from falling even if the hull shakes?

[@wulkie]

I am not sure i understood the question. There is no gimbal on the boat, if that is the question..
