Two grown men couldn't carry that air compressor? I can carry it by myself.

In my opinion using a roller to apply paint uses quite a bit more paint than using a sprayer does. You can adjust the volume on the spray gun so very little paint is put down. The boat is lookin great though man.

Great, you took my Greenhouse plastic suggestion. My nearly free tie-down technique is: place a golf ball sized, round rock under the corner of the plastic. In about 2" from the edges. I wrap it twice with bailing twine or small rope. This grabs the edges very well. Now you have tie-down locations wherever you want. Plus, just cut away when done & you've still got plastic without holes. Go on, give it a go! ~ DiveGirl Deb SV Melittin's Miracle Eugene Oregon

I can't remember whether i asked this before . But how does this work , one centerboard that is installed off center ? I'm used to sailing but i can't figure this out .

I have only one suggestion. That is to choose one space and wood veneer most of it. Adding small amounts of veneer in a few other spaces. (more like a picture frame thing) The purpose is with so little woodwork what you do have will POP. The Veneering can be done to thin plywood and then attached. Although doing it this way negates all that sanding you did. This would be a perfect sailing project using your workbench though. Something to do, now that you are _done._

I'm wondering where you are going to sit/sleep/eat when the boat is heeled over at 70* You're not going to need footrests when heeled over to recliner mode.

Same dinghy kit as Alidino and Maya?

It just dawned on me your child will learn to sail on the dinghy, and when he is 6 or 7 he will be taking it around for spins in coves at some island in the French Polinesia, while you guys, and Le Paws, chill on the deck of Duracell, listening to bossa nova, drinking margheritas, or caipirinhas, and eating sashimi! ... : ⁰ )

Finally this dinghy season is over and can continue with real build! I had skip whole 3 weeks.

This was another great video, Matt and Janni. Always good to see some metal tradesmen doing stuff. Greg knows his stuff and puts together a quality product.

The dingy looks great, but what I'm really impressed with is how you pulled the tarp over the shed 😮😅👏

cool dinghy but I imagined your boat with a good motored inflatable instead of the sailing back to shore dinghy lol

Nice episode Matt... But looking at Janneke pulling up the new dinghy in the stairs... I was was just "wandering" untill she said "don't worry about me I'm fine"... Then I fill so quiet !! 😅... just a French guy joking...! It lloks so big on the deck... it looks like a real sailing boat on itself!! 😵

Will you remove the ballast tanks ?

Great Job!! You guys are my Favorite CZcams Channel!! ❤

Hey guys, Been following along with your videos for the last year or so. It started due to my obsession with watchin matt do fiberglass work, but I've found myself somehow attached to the project. Wanted to thank you for the great content and wish you luck on your other adventure (parenthood). My wife and I just had our first last year, its a weird and wonderful ride. Nothing like doing boat work with a baby monitor nearby... good luck, anyone with the patience and discipline to tackle what you have will do just fine as parents. Mike

Seeing some fluency and curve just gives your boat that star look bra I'm a Carpenter but I do fibglass surfboards paint cars What ever it takes to chew through my days But yes your project is working bra 😮

I was worrying, really!

Inject this into my veins!

Can you put the link for the greenhouse tarp in the description plz. ? Seems like a great solution.

Good looking.

awesome progress, I must admit the dinghy build wasn't as exciting as Duracell is so I was really excited to see you back on the project. Will miss you next week but looking forward to the week after and see what you have done The shed looks great.

Wow bra not talked for some time Me been bizzy but looking at your bost you have been bizzy sseell 😮

I'm from Ethiopia would you volenter to give special support and advices for me

A week of binge watching and I'm all caught up! Amazing project that is coming along nicely. I'll bet you get to start on systems this winter.

Thats a great dingy, I'm sure you will love it! I have a 10' puffin hard dingy on my Bristol 40 and would not trade it for anything great to row and sail and no outboard hassels

If the boat is Duracell, the dinghy should be Triple A

Maybe I missed it, but can you explain why the dagger board is so off-centre? Is it just to reduce weight of having a separate case and thwarts etc for a centreboard?

Spent many a Year there in the early seventies, sometimes weather ways i should have stayed. SE Ak though suits us fine though. You two ROCK.

Seems to me that you should plan on getting an electric motor. You might find yourself at anchorage with no wind and too far to row to your destination.

Love your videos, thank you. Has anyone done an electric inboard motor for a dingy? With the advances in batteries, this might be a great solution.

oh man, I was hoping you would keep the wood showing. Everyone would know it was not fiberglass..like everything else.lol

Mom on the digger! Awesome!

Amazing dinghy! Good move to build one that you can sail, it’ll be very fast! We are thinking of building a Oughtred Sea Hen 9ft. That all we can fit unfortunately! You guys are lucky with your deck space! Cheers

Matt, What is that blue tubing running above your head on the inside of your enclosure frame? Just curious… Thanks, John, Ontario, Canada…

"we'll see you in a couple weeks"? ...for a really really fun project? as opposed to just a really fun project? Such a cliff hanger. Now I won't be able to sleep, hahah. Love the build Matt, ya'll are my favorite channel. Cheers from Santa Cruz

What grid of sand paper do you use for sanding both old layers of paint and epoxy and new layers of epoxied PET boards? I can see that you use rotex sender by festool. Do you use rotex mode or standar rotary mode?

Dinghy looks great on durocell see you in a fortnight

Matt trying not to laugh at Dani's 'Dad' jokes is quite entertaining.

I guess for all the weather and usage it will see, the dinghy had to be coated, but it sure is a shame you'll no longer be able to see the beautiful woodgrain.

Dinghy looks great inspector was impressed

Matt's mom rocks!

Congratulations on your little one.

Wow. Only 1 thumb down and 4.6k thumbs up for this video :D (The normal ratio for high quality, non controversial videos is 1:100)

The dingy looks like a fun gadget. The doghouse and cockpit rearwards extension really makes this ship awesome.

Team work makes the dream work ! Great job

I worry...you were at the heavy end...my somewhat negative previous dingy comment was not negative as to beauty, sailing, and rowing functionality but to its gossamer build and ruggedness...suppose you're at anchor pacific paradise need to row/motor ashore what is the freeboard safety margin with two adults and say your three year old son...IMHO what about hard hull dingy for safety with the family...find a used old Whaler 11'Tender or inflatable that bounces off everything or a good winch on the "Battery" and an old 13' Whaler stripped to bare hull weight 300 ...and a 3.5 Tohatsu engine for all weighs 40lbs

Wish the new dingy was going to be centered on the foredeck. I just cant see the need for that asymmetrical off kilter placement.

Great progress as always. Yes take a well deserved break. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos

So sorry. I could not get into this dinghy build at all.
