Building a Wooden Boat: Sharpie Sailing Skiff Project 2021

I built this skiff based loosely on several designs in Raul Parker's Sharpie Book. Chesapeake Oyster Skiff, Mississippi River yawl, and Crab skiff. The sail plan is subject to change, but for now it gets the job done. This boat was built with practicality in mind. It's very easy to rig, row, and sail single handed. An excellent trailer boat, for a wooden boat. Traditional planking with a plywood bottom. I built her mainly for dinghy camping and cruising. Not for speed. If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing to join me on future adventures with this skiff!

Great video! You were good at telling the story too. My only sailing experience is in a 15.5' Westport sharpie that a friend of mines has. Sharpies are beautiful boats.

Very different approach to boat building than most other videos out there, inspiring!

I am really looking forward to starting my boat builds next year when I am settled in at the new place I am moving to.

I love it! Your videos and attitude have inspired me to build my own sail and oar skiff. Any suggestions on the weight and type of fabric for the sail? I plan to sew my own as well.

we must be doppelgangers or something i took all the hardware ,mast,keel from my mariner and cut up the rest took it to the dump because i couldn't put the mast up alone and my kids moved away an a thousand bucks a yr is to much for me to keep it at a dock so i built almost exactly the same boat you did except it's 12 ft long and resin coated ply lol small world hey

Wow. I found your most recent videos, and I love your style of sailing. I have an interest in carpentry from deck building and framing work, but would LOVE to have a simple two person par and sail boat that was made by my own hands. This made it feel more feasible than I pictured. Very happy to have found your channel. Keep going!

Your advice to novice boat builders is excellent. I'm about to finish building a box-boat of my own design. I had to build it inside the house trailer I live in. The boat's 10 ft length stretches nearly from wall to wall. I have made numerous mistakes while building it, and can hardly believe I'm at the fitting out stage. You have built a nice, elegant boat.

What a fine job ! Beautiful boat. Single balanced lug rig would be a great choice , I think. 👍

Beautiful boat! Would love to know the basic dimensions, we know length as stated 15 ft, how about max beam across gunnels, across bottom and width of transom. Again, very awesome build.

Beautiful job! You have rekindled my interest in the Ohio sharpie. Bought the plans, but wasn’t sure about it. They are gorgeous.

If that boat is 15 feet, what is the maximum beam at the gunnel?

What are your thoughts on the boomless standing lug?

@cumberlandrover 2 ай бұрын

I liked it for convenience sake, but the boom provides a huge performance boost. Especially up wind.

You sound so different in this older video. Is it you or someone else? I thought I was on the wrong channel; the "other guy" has a super laid back, soft and sleepy manner of speech. Just an observation.
