That is a serious Dinghy. The good news is even if you decide to go with a smaller one down the road, that dinghy is a beautiful boat on its own that will always go to good use.
You should name the dinghy “Button” like the small watch batteries. A play on Duracell. 😂
"AAA" because it's long and thin.. 🤣
@@simonbell9476 I thought about that, but, in my opinion, “Triple A” doesn’t sound as good for a name. Unless you’re talking about roadside services. Lol.
I love how the dinghy looks.
I hope when you sail her, we can get to see how the other 5 look too with the different colour combinations.
Wow, eight months, that's gone quick. Hope you are comfortable, I for one am waiting for that video. 👍
La Paz is truly a boat cat. No wonder why the constant inspections. I think she's telling you to hurry up. Thanks for the video
she can't wait to get back on the water
That dinghy is a great fit for your family and the boat, loads of room on deck. I like the idea of an electric motor.
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 )
Minicell looks great !
That cat is so inquisitive and cool. It’s not even fazed by the water when riding in the boat. ♥️
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
The dingy looks like a fun gadget. The doghouse and cockpit rearwards extension really makes this ship awesome.
Beautiful dingy. I built a hard dingy years ago and found out the hard way that I could row it fast enough to force water up the daggerboard trunk. I built a plug to insert when not sailing. It was fast enough that I never put a motor on it.
Great progress. Love the pace and style of your episodes!
oh man, I was hoping you would keep the wood showing. Everyone would know it was not fiberglass..like everything else.lol
I was surprised at the size of the dinghy in comparison to Duracell. It looked very big while in the shop but when on the foredeck, it shrunk considerably. It looks great. Glad to see you got a chance to break out the paint sprayer too.
Thanks for the video 👍👍👍😁😁
Wish I could remember which episode used "Sticky Goop" (2 years ago?) - some of my Irish Trad Seisiún players were interested in the story of its use with this great project.
I didn't think to record which/when that was. You've certainly used tons of sticky goop since then. You are the GlueMaestro of the shipwright community.
I wish we could remember too! Thanks for that song.
That dingy looks sooo sleek. Almost radical. Befits a fast boat.
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!

Great suggestion! I've used that same method for tying down plastic tarps pressed into service as lightweight camping shelters, for more years than I can count.
My brother never had enamel on his 1st set of teeth, the doctors put it down to a beam hitting my mother in the stomach when pregnant with him while helping Dad build our yacht the Sarina. So many good memories made on that yacht.
Great Job!! You guys are my Favorite CZcams Channel!! ❤
wow, thanks!!
Nice work with the shed and dinghy and please take a rest…..💖💖💖🇦🇺
Good looking.
A small 2-stroke outboard up to 5hp would make more sense IMO. You would use so little fuel, its more compact, cheap and no need to be concerned about battery charge/range. 90% of the time, just rowing it will be a joy.
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
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
Dinghy could be another rain catchment. Watching with out sound , long story. You probably said that!😜
10:29 hm
Dinghy looks great! A little 2hp is all you would need to get from a to b if the wind isn’t blowing or the arms don’t feel like rowing.
Dinghy looks great on durocell see you in a fortnight
Looks good. Going to be able to haul a lot on that dingy. Love the paint on the doghouse. Duracell is really coming along.
Great update 2x👍
WHAT!!! Skip the video next week? How could you? 😊 Just kidding, if that helps you out I don't have a problem with it. I'll be here in two weeks.
love that cat!
its a monohull
😂
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.
Hi Matt. I just wanted to let you know I have come across a family that is from Port Townsend that you might probably know. The Sailing Ship is like yours and is known as Night Hawk. By the way Diggy looks Great.
The dingy looks great, but what I'm really impressed with is how you pulled the tarp over the shed 😮😅👏
Love the dinghy, can't wait to see it sailing
Dingy looks amazing. You could do a R2AK in that.
Dinghy turned out nice so far. Looking forward to seeing it hit the water. Stay safe guys and looking forward to meeting the baby….
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
glad to hear we're not the only ones (planning on) doing boat work with a baby monitor nearby. We're pretty excited and pretty terrified :)
Great progress as always. Yes take a well deserved break. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos
"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
wow, thanks! We are really excited about this next project....
You should paint the dingy up like one of the racing versions of Duracell maybe even the copper top one.
I like this idea!
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!! 😵
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.
we enjoyed building the dinghy and we're very happy to be back in the duracell shed now
Good stuff
Looks like LaPaws approves of the placement of the dingy. I like hard dingys myself. Looking forward to the wooden boat festival and visiting Port Townsend again.
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.
Alohaaaa. LOL is it heavy ? it's heavy as shit down here hurry up. LOL She so sweet to let you take the top. God bless u guys. Aloha my friends, God bless
As always Matt and wifey and new child thank you again Matt John and Marie 🙏 congratulations 🎉 on the baby dad and mommy and aunt y kitty😀😊
Great episode! Very nice dingy! Keep rolling Duracell team! 👍👍
Nice little sailboat. Should get a good price when you sell it to get a practical one for your liveaboard. Something to take you in a hurry to the dock, do the shopping, go up small rivers, save you or others drifting into rocks in a midnight storm, take lines to shore, travel to dive sites, etc,
Those Self Centering Doweling Jigs are handy for more than just dowels and are still a bit of a bargain from Harbor Freight at about $20 though you might see them on parking lot or store managers sale for around $10.
Yes we're looking forward to seeing how the new dinghy sails.
Best!
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.
Great to see Duracell, kinda missed her actually these last few weeks. The new dingy looks fabulous, perfit fit for Duracell, have to confess I was a little skeptical but seeing it now makes complete sense, nice. Well done with the boat shed as well, tricky job I'd say but worth it. Great to see Mum to be looking so well. Anyhow sending you both both good energy .....Neil😊☘☘
Team work makes the dream work ! Great job
who rolls on an entire coat of primer in his good clothes and DOESN'T appear to get a speck of roller-splatter on his togs? More impressive work there, sir!
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.
welcome aboard!
I love love the dinghy!!! Awesome work everyone!
cool dinghy but I imagined your boat with a good motored inflatable instead of the sailing back to shore dinghy lol
cool greenhouse. will be a nice space to grow food when done. may have to bring in fresh soil.
Dinghy looks really good, great idea for the hardwood strip Matt, that will pay dividends when you have to lug heavy bits and bobs too and from shore. Good to see you got an option sorted for the boatshed cover that didnt break the bank and lets lots of natural light through to boot. Glad it didn't snag and rip on the frames after all. I had a sneaky suspicion that greenhouse plastic would be a good choice. Look forward to seeing you guys in two weeks for the next episode. Oh and btw go Yani ⛵ 💪😀 ! God bless you all.
man that baby is on its way! so happy for you guys!
Hope the birth goes well!
The dinghy looks like a nice sailboat.
Good tip on the Awlgrip Holgard primer ... I've been looking for something like that for a job on my boat
9,314th tag-along view gonna have to happen in bits.
I can't believe he painted the dinghy white when there was a beautiful wood surface. 🤯
we thought about keeping the wood, but it will look better painted since Duracell isn't a wood boat.
Nice tender though I think Duracell will find it a bit annoying. 😊
Ahem! I noticed you kids moved that boat out of the inspector's sightline... Oh the meows had you been caught!
Great video
I think she meant to say pregnant woman… 😅😅😅. This thing is going to rip once in the water. ❤
Two thought on that rather nice dinghy. Please bear in mind these a just thoughts on projects I have never seen done well. If there is any team, you, wife and mom, that can pull it off you're the one. OK here we go.
1) Sacrificial easily replaced wear strips on the bottom. Yep one coral encounter or 50 beach visits and the bottom of the dinghy will say, "you know that hurts" .
2) Well fitted and thoughtfully connected tubes around the dinghy to improve stability and enhance load capacity. Should they be air filled, shaped foam or something else? Please share your thoughts, everyone is invited. I just love to sit on my veranda and watch this team designing and working.
That hard dingy looks fantastic and it is the best option IMHO as I see so many people struggle to keep air in all those overpriced RIB's because of UV damage. Personally I'd get a 3-5 HP gas outboard and forget the electric ones as you have no range or power to speak of. Add to that the need for recharging those batteries from your house-bank and you can guess where that is going when those batteries are low too. Keep up the good work! 👍
Threes a crew!
You should put a 4"ish strip of 1" thick high density foam around the rub rail of the dinghy.
Now you need to build a smaller boat to go on the dinghy. Then and even smaller boat to go on that one!
great idea!
Please call Duracell’s dinghy Bunny
Bunny! Great suggestion.
Can you put the link for the greenhouse tarp in the description plz. ? Seems like a great solution.
Ashame to cover up the hole Dinghy with paint !!!! you should keep the top rim clear Coat the wood is Beautiful Brent Gordon of Canada😭⛵
Even your boat has a boat.
6:34 NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Thought that dinghy was a nice idea and a lovely design until I saw it on your fore-deck and learned what it weighs.
Now I think it is _FANTASTIC_ and I WANT ONE!
Spraying time-lapse was delicious - editor knocked it out of the park - _again!_
Tripple A for the name
Dhang! I can't think of any other dhigny puns.
I was worrying, really!
👍😎
The dinghy suits the big boat
Wish the new dingy was going to be centered on the foredeck. I just cant see the need for that asymmetrical off kilter placement.
Matt, What is that blue tubing running above your head on the inside of your enclosure frame? Just curious… Thanks, John, Ontario, Canada…
Matt you better go sailing with the dhingy ASAP… when jr. arrives Game over…😂
Baby boy will join us sailing this summer! -Janni
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.
From so many other sailing channels, launching a dinghy from the foredeck with the hailard is not easy when you have to keep it away from the Hull when lowering it. Why not build a rotating small crane that can easily assist you instead of the hailard? The crane can be fixed but it can also be fitted into a prepared hole in the deck. Insert the crane in the hole and Voila!
I'm actually thinking about using a short spinnaker pole attached to the mast that can be used as a sort of crane/davit to keep it away from the hull and have more control when maneuvering the dinghy on and off the foredeck.
@@TheDuracellProject Great idea - and weight saving! 🙂
Is it the camera's eye causing us to see a pretty obvious transition between the added pieces on the stern, or is really that obvious to the naked eye?
we will see you in acouple weeks... Do so make plans they tickle the gods.
Duracell and Dinghycell
cute
Does the graphite epoxy fill coat add strength or stiffness, or is purely to achieve a certain surface finish?
The graphite adds abrasion resistance.
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.
we may very well do that
It might help deter a stolen outboard.
3:50 lol.
How much is the dinghy going to weigh? What kind of davit are you going to have to raise and lower it into the water? Are you storing it upside down on the bow or at the stern?
Wrote this before I watched the video. Not sure how it will age?
We are all praying the birth will go according to plan and both will enjoy parenthood as well. The dinghy is marvelous, you'll spend many an evening sailing comfortably.
what brand plastic did you use on the boat house, I need a cover for my arch building
I bought it from farmplasticsupply.com.
