The stick thingy is the yard, the sail raiser is the halyard, the sail flapping around like that is called luffing, the pallet piece is called the pulpit and when your main is up and your not going anywhere we call that ghosting. YO HO HO and a can of Red Bull, you need to rig a spinnaker.

Nice work. ..if you attach the "sheets" to a "block"...make a way to tighten and loosen depending on wind...might work...or, go full send and build a light boom and get an old main sail...or build one so you can actually get pushed even from a beam or broad reach "point of sail"...

@MoneyPitBoating Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tips! I think we're going to try making a sloop or a gaff rig next. Need to do more research though...stay tuned! (Wind would also help!)

@thetalesofrozgardthered7740 Жыл бұрын

A couple of things: Increase your sail area by (75%?) by lengthening your spar and getting a larger tarp. If you can, reconfigure your tarp / sail by shaping it like a cupped hand to catch the air. Right now you are "spilling" tons of force with the flat sail. (Yes, there is some work to that.) With a larger sail area comes the need for adequate fore-stays. A sudden shift in the wind, or getting turned around can bring you mast and rigging down in a big hurry. All that being said, you guys are awesome and I wish you the best. There is nothing like a sweet, down wind run in a squaresailer. You can get three knots out of this. Had a son and daughter crew on the Lady Washington. 0:54 shows how sails should look. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLCkedKbmLfVoWQ.html

Put a spar across the bottom of the sail. And you could use some drop cloths for a sail. the cloth ones the pros use.

A quick thought... Imagine adding some pedals to this boat like on those sun riders' boats, possibly pedals assist like on an e-bike. If there was more than one pedal for multiple people it might make it easier. Not saying this is a "good" idea, but for a money pit boat that is being made for fun, why not lol?

@MoneyPitBoating Жыл бұрын

All ideas are good ideas! We haven't thought about pedals on THIS boat, but maybe soon... Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

also you guys have to get a sponsorship from DeWalt, lol, that's a hell of an endorsement. have you given any thought as to how to waterproof the daggerboards and rudder? fiberglass could be calling your name...

Fiberglass is probably our best bet, but we still need to refine our designs before we spend more money on fiberglass. Funds are quite limited at the moment, and we are very careful with the money we have. That's how we've lasted almost 2 years without jobs, trying to make it on youtube!

Mark ... I still think you need to cover those exposed rounded knee bone crunchers ... Thinking a soft softball size rubber ball, cut into the ball and side it on with a little glue to help keep the ball on . And that pole , from the roof line upwards, needs to be more ridged ... The pallet worked great for the back porch extender. And with that being said , my boys let's make sure we have our life insurance paided up ! ... ~ Just Saying ~ ... One last thang boy's , Mark we need to install front and back the logo's for the channel on the mighty sail ... Great Video ! ... PS >> Reports have been made that you boy's may know something about a case of * Romulan ale missing from Federation Boat Dock *. This is a highly intoxicating alcoholic beverage of Romulan People and is banned by the Federation. ⚓⛵🌊⛵⚓
