Boy! Iam 82 and not very fit. but looking at what you have done...makes me wish I was 40 again...well done...magic
Thank you very much Adrian 👍🏼
82 (?) a young man even today. Building a boat is a pleasurable job, and it gives us health during the work and forever. Just start…
Assume recent binge watching of Tally Ho had the ‘algorithm’ (correctly) think I’d like this! Lovely boat and great result, happy sailing!
@@Kitepops101 thanks 👍🏼
Tally Ho is a great team restoration job; I really like this: preserving history is fundamental for future generations. Congratulations to everyone who did this wonderful work.
Same. 😅
WOW absolutely amazing 👏
@@pertevonur471 thanks 👍🏼
She's absolutely beautiful Masterfully built. You should be very proud..
Thank you very much Al 👍🏼
I’m really very proud. The 15 minutes of the video do not show patience, resilience and the many hours of work. When you finish - which sometimes seems crazy - it’s a moment of great happiness; and sailing is fantastic. I recommend it, because these are hours of work that you gain in health forever…
Came up on my feed!... excellent job! and lovely wee boat never seen this plan before.
Thanks John 👍🏼
At the time I made the boat, I subscribed to Wooden Boat magazine - back when it was printed - and I bought this project through an advertisement. I got a good deal; it’s an excellent sailboat.
Great job! Very much like a sailboat "Petrel" I built in the 1980s.
Thanks Carl; it’s great to build our boat 👍🏼
BRAVO!! Truly inspirational!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
congratulations good winds
Thanks Emerson 👍🏼
Good job.🙂
Thanks William 👍🏼
Lindo barco
Obrigado my friend 👍🏼
Parabéns! Guarapiranga?
Também fiz um, de madeira, 20 pés, muito parecido com o teu😊 Moro em SP.
@@et1161 muito obrigado.
Realmente é muito bom construir um veleiro. Parabéns também. Já velejei aí na represa de Guarapiranga de Snipe. Show 👍🏼
Q bonito velero c piden conseguir los planos m gustaría construirlo gracias
Gracias, Maria 👍🏼
Los planos los saqué de un libro, “Boatbuilding in your own backyard”, que compré hace anos en un anuncio de la revista estadounidense Wooden Boat. Lamentablemente no puedo publicarlo completo porque tiene derechos de autor. Pero es posible encontrarlo en las redes digitales. Buena suerte y buenos vientos.
Fantastic boat. Excellent work. Enjoy. Any chance to get the plans?
Thanks Peter 👍
I bought the plans many years ago, through the American magazine Wooden Boat. I belive you can buy the project on some website. Good luck and good winds friend.
@@RGBtoys I just got off the Wooden Boat Magazine. Do You remember the name of your boat? I really like the shape of the hull. Regards Peter
Of course Peter. I did it according to the project published in the book “Boatbuilding in your own backyard” by S.S.Rabl, 1995 edition. The book has some complete and super detailed projects, I chose and made the TITMOUSE 15.
She looks wonderful. You can never buy that "something" from a factory.
Thanks Ian; that is true 👍🏼
From over fifty years of sailing experience I have my doubts this boat would sail very well. That reverse rudder, the sweep of the lines up to the stern and centreboard system may create some serious balance problems especially in gusty conditions. Otherwise you have to admire the craftsmanship. Not all works of art are practical. But hey well done to the builder.
Thanks Nick 👍🏼
When I decided to build the TITMOUSE, I did so because it was a beautiful boat and the challenge of the strip plank hull. As for the rudder, I was really suspicious because it was wide but shallow; I even thought about modifying it for a rudder with deeper action, but I saw that almost all models of that time - and of this size - have the rudder in this format (protected by the directional stern kell/skeg). However, the central kill works very well and the boat lulls efficiently; but because I sail in a lagoon I feel well protected when surprised by strong winds. The hull has a flat botton and is very stable in medium winds, but in strong gusts, with the boat heeling, it tends to leave me without rudder control…
She is certainly not an open ocean boat.
Your observation is very good.
A lovely little craft, but what about buoyancy tanks? How would she go if capsized?
Thanks Ross; good question 👍🏼
In addition to the all-light wooden construction (with the exception of a few parts), and all waterproofed with epoxy resin, I use some expanded polyurethane floats underneath the removable decks, and an empty 30-liter plastic gallon in the bow. The hull is very stable in relation to the sail area, and for safety I also don’t use a teether on the mainsail - like Optimist, when the wind is strong. I’ve had some scares - it’s a fact of sailing - but I haven’t capsized the boat yet…
Very kind of to share this DIY.
@@dnahealthknowledge thanks 👍🏼
The intention is to encourage the construction of old wooden boat project.
Great Job, how do you close the Cabin when you leave your Boot?
Thanks Gunther 👍🏼
The project does not have a cabin closure. It’s a daysailer boat I believe. But I think, if I’m going on a small cruise, I’ll close it with a canvas and zipper, just like camping tents. Another advantage of the project is that the top of the cabin is pivoting, with hinges at the front and a support to keep it higher - or fixed to the boom. I use a poita or anchor to leave the boat in the water, as it is always facing the wind and the cabin is protected from wind and rain. It’s a very versatile small sailboat, and creativity is part of the adventures.
Good winds friend
hello, thank you for your message, it is certainly a good solution, I wish you all the best and good wind, lg günther
For all of us 🙌
Nice work. What are the dimensions of the strip planking?
Thanks Wallace 👍🏼
I made it with 35mm x 20mm. This measure worked well because the bow has to bend and twist.
Didn't you use a steam generator to shape the strip planking?
Here, in Guarapari, I have several types of eucalyptus available.
It’s not necessary with this strip measurement.
In my region there are also eucalyptus trees; it can even be used for a canoe, but for a job like this I believe that a more nautical quality wood = cedar for example.
