In this episode I assemble frames C2 and C4. Each one is constructed of 4 pieces epoxied together. C2’s hatch hole’s edges get rounded with a sander, then I’ll need to reinforce these edges with fiberglass mat in the next episode. I say hatch hole, but there won’t actually be a hatch for this frame. C4 will also need the same treatment for the upper half of its edges. However, the floor will cover up the bottom of this frame, and the walls for storage compartments will cover up the bottom half of the sides of this frame.
Final footage is of Yann Quenet’s boat Baluchon sailing in Mauritius. Baluchon is a major inspiration for me taking on this project, as Yann has proven this type of pocket-cruiser can be sailed across oceans and around the world.

I hate those technical issues. So frustrating. Thankfully your easy to find. There’s you, Yrvind, and wave rover. At least in my searches, that’s who pops up.

Glad to have you back! I've still been posting videos on the dead channel to try to herd people over here. Hope it's working.

@SvenYrvindExlex 2 года назад

Looks very good. Be careful with wood and steel, materials that are not inert. Try to protect them as much as possible with epoxy in several layers of glass.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

Ok, thank you.

Just to report briefly I moved to keep on following you ! Cheers from France. The more frames you add, the more we can imagine how it's gonna look like (even if the cardboard mockup helps).

Glad I found the new channel. I really enjoy watching this build. It gives me so many ideas and gets me dreaming.

@subram2011 2 года назад

I like your little boat project. However being an engineer, I always feel the need to make it stronger using triangulation and cross bracing. Your boat is very strong in longitudinal axis and vertical axis, but what about oblique angles?

@mattevans-koch9353 2 года назад

It's moving along and looking good Captain. I am amazed at how fast you are going in such a small space. I have a double car garage and share half with my wife. Some days she just laughs at all of my sniveling about not having enough space to work. You're doing a great job. Take care and see you on the next episode.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

Thanks. There's a decent amount of room, especially if I park the family car on the street for a couple nights when I need more space. I just remember the picture of the low-ceiling basement Sven Yrvind built his first boat in, now that was a tight space.

@fishntools Год назад

What you need to worry about in "bad conditions" isn't so much about rolling over, you should worry more about the waves breaking upon you. @ 8.3 lbs per gallon that thin hull and small joints should be your biggest concern. Ever been in the N.Atlantic in the winter?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat Год назад

"Thin" is relative. Final hull thickness might be 15mm. There are probably a lot of 25'+ hulls with that thickness. So, it's quite thick for the boat length/surface area if you think of it that way. My boat has a lot of frames, longitudinals / structural grid inside perpendicular to the hull that also adds a lot of strength. I have crossed the N Atlantic in December, though it was in a Destroyer. Still, the seas were impressive on some days.

@fishntools Год назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat I mention the water weight because we left drydock on a 210' research vessel (R/V) to run tests all winter in the N.Atlantic and by the time we left the area (4 months later) the steel hull plates that were replaced in drydock were all buckled between the frames. Visualizing those forces on a thin fiberglass were my concern. Great vids though, thx!

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat Год назад

Yeah! It's common with big steel ships. Another factor is that a big ship won't move with the hit of a wave, it gets slammed and takes the full force of the water. It'll move but very slowly and pretty much after the full hit is absorbed. A smaller boat can get pushed and so a lot of that force is lessened by the boat moving away from it.

@wesleyburghardt7189 2 года назад

Thought I would add a comment to feed the algorithm while you are building both the boat and the new channel. How ambitious are your sailing plans once this is built? Is this an extended exploration of the idea of micro-yachting, or do you have concrete plans to cross oceans or the like?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

I have some ambitious plans, but it's so early in the process, I have to build the boat first. It's no secret though that I plan an ocean crossing at minimum.

@haydenwatson7987 2 года назад

Looking great. When you fill the edges of the bulkhead are you planning to use just thickened epoxy? If so you might think about adding some linear reinforcement like was done on the foam cored catamaran being built by MJ Sailing on their RU-vid channel. In a groove like you you have formed, they inserted pre-wetted linear strand. On your scale, you could pull out strands from your cloth to get long single strands that are bunched and wetted and placed into the groove. That would provide much more strength than just thickened epoxy filler.

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

So far I've just used thickened epoxy, but where the floor rests on the structural grid I am beefing up the edges with 1x2's filleted in, as you can see in this video, at least on the transversal pieces. In the longitudinal pieces I might double up the foam and add more fiberglass mat to also help distribute the weight.

@haydenwatson7987 2 года назад

@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat You might think about adding prewetted long strands of cloth fibers to any future foam edges in that groove that you cut at the end of this episode because it will add no weight or thickness but will give a significant amount of added strength by reducing filler with strands of glass.

@McTroyd 2 года назад

At least the glitch happened at "only" 5k subscribers or so, rather than when you got to 100k+. Have you documented the glitch anywhere, hopefully to prevent this from happening anywhere else? Glad to see frames going up! 👍️

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

I tried everything I could to get RU-vid to help, but for some reason they don't provide any phone number or even e-mail for creators to reach out with. They have a kind of "community" you can post to, but no one replied to my questions or if they did they said "I have the same problem, have you solved it yet!?" lol. Oh well.

What is the budget for this project pls? Ballpark?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

It's such a tough thing to estimate, maybe 5 or 6K? I just do my best to do as much as the work as possible myself or with friends, and to save money everywhere I can. In the end it will be much cheaper than any other brand new boat with a cabin this size that you could buy.

@listless22 2 года назад

What is that sacrificial blue stuff you peel off after fiber glassing and what is it's function?

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

Peel ply is a finely woven nylon fabric treated with a release agent. Excess epoxy bleeds through and is peeled from the cured laminate along with the Release Fabric. Peels easily and leaves a smooth textured surface ready for bonding or finishing.

Hi I just found your channel and started watching from the beginning and I have a couple of comments and I'm by no means an expert on fiberglass but why didn't you put a full layer of fiberglass down on your bottom piece before you started putting your bulkheads on cuz now I'm thinking you have a weak spot at each bulkhead also I do not think you are putting enough glass layers on your bulkheads or your tabbing you should watch life on the Hulls he's a fiberglassing expert

@ocean_capable_small_sailboat 2 года назад

In the beginning for the transom and frames 5 & 6 I didn't have fiberglass over the bottom before I installed them. After that the rest of the frames were installed over 1-2 layers of 1708 on the bottom panel. But, I'm not worried about it at all. This foam core has a compressive strength of 148PSI. The frames have 2-3 layers of 1708 tabbing them to the bottom, spreading that load out on the bottom. It spreads the load over something like 350 square inches, so it withstands a load of what... 52,000lbs? I think we'll be ok. A smaller boat doesn't need the same layup schedule as a larger boat. a 50' boat might need a solid 1" fiberglass hull, but a 14' boat does not. It's a great advantage that comes with choosing a smaller boat. Anyway, the boat's not done yet. We still have plenty of fiberglassing to do.
