still not done after 2 years ??

boat is too big

Nice job. Im looking at building a rudder for an Albin vega for close manuvering. so it would on a guess 2x the size of yours or maybe your size would do. What was the finished weight of your aprox. Thank you

I really like the cassette rubber too. What a great idea. Lifepo4 can't charge of discharge as fast as lead acid, however they last forever and much safer and lighter. I had good luck with tracer bn series charge controller but never had one on a boat

Хорошая работа. Спасибо за видео. Удачи ! Двигателя не будет совсем?

Radius all exposed edges and adjustable pivot angle on tiller so you can stand or sit and a adjustable handle gives you more flexibility to move around.

Amazing!! I have to build a boat now

Nice Job! What brand / kind of paint are you using for your exterior? I used Total Boat Wet Edge for my build and was not and am not very happy with it.

Love your vids and love your boat. Had an idea about the "climatization". Heard ever about nano-cloth? It is a special veil-thin cloth (used for shoes or t-shirts), that allows air perspiration, but do not let water in. That means, if you have sneekers with gore-tex tightly bound on your feet and step in a puddle, your feet should be dry, and when you pull your leg out, the feet should still "breathe". Similar on the t-shirt - if you pour a soup on you, it will simply change into round pearl-like droplets and run down your shirt, instead of getting inside the cloth and on your skin. What i ment to sugest you regarding the gore-tex (or similar nano-cloth) is to try to use it as part of your climatization intake design. At the T-shape crossing, where the air goes to the tube heading inside, you can put on the opening of the tube the cloth, and be sure even if you hit a big wave, or the sea turn your boat over.

Only stumbled across your video series today. Love the design brief for this boat, I was contemplating a cat boat but it would be a shame to waste the time and resources when I could build something more accustomed to ocean sailing, especially when I'm surrounded by thousands of islands. Think the wife would feel safer in a boat that is more durable like your own.

I always wanted to sail across the Atlantic but at 70 I am getting nervous after watching president Trumps speech I have told myself to knock it off stop being a wus and get on with it. My boat is the one that inspired the TV series Howards Way. It was owned by the creator, director and writer of the show. This video has provided a couple of answers to two problems. My boat is a Galion 22 a very seaworthy cruiser racer. It would do well to have a rear hung rudder for better directional stability. This rudder will be perfect also I have been trying to figure out how to reduce the size of the cockpit and provide protection for me as I get seasick down below. I now realise looking at yours I can do it and keep it low profile. I have commented on your channel before and I implore you fit a boomless dipping lug rig. Make a carbon fibre mast yourself just use a drain pipe as a mould. tension the mould vertically to make sire its straight. Alternatively overlay an existing aluminium mast. One last thing killer whales are in the habit of attacking the rudders of boats off Portugal. You could remove it and sail downwind or drag something behind off to one side to steer.

Was thinking about the same problem, and fancied a rubber net "blanket" you cover yourself with and hook it on the other side, to hold your whole body down.

Your little princess seem to love her dad very much.

Hello Perry: I would assume you are using lines on the tiller that lead inside so you can steer from inside (a la Paradox) ?

Why didn’t you glass the rudder case or at least epoxy coat it before painting. The plywood didn’t even appear to be marine or high quality

Congratulations on the progress and the new house 🏠

Don’t underestimate the force on a rudder, especially on an ocean. Good design, but the open back does mean the rest needs a lot more strength Hope you haven’t underestimated what is required. I would look at a 20’ yacht for guidance.

Colder clim, eh? Goodonyas for doing what is necessary

You have gone to great effort to make a boat effectively "wood free" and it will pay dividends long term, so I don't understand the decision to make the rudder (A very used part of the boat) out of wood, and cheap wood at that. It could have been wood free as well.

What kind of rig will you use for this sailboat? What it is called? Used-broom or jungstrom rig? Coz' I watch your previous videos and I didn't catch the word properly, and when I go to YT translate of the videos, it does not translate properly.

Very good job! Rudder well built, very strong for the lenght of your vessel, more than enough!!! Regards from Spain⛵⛵ Janneau 37.1⛵

Great to see you working on the boat. It looks like you are getting close to putting it in the water. Congratulations on the home purchase, something very difficult to do in SD.

Those bolts on the rudder that have full threads all the way down the shaft will become a file causing them to elongate the holes and would work through the ply eventually if allowed

Congrats good sir. I'm glad to see you getting back into it and now getting some free stuff. I can't wait to see you sailing

Finally someone is sending you free stuff! About time! Congrats on the new house

Great to have you settle in the good Ole south. You n your family won't regret it.

How will the pintles be fastened? Through bolts, at least on the lower one, would be in the way of the rudder blade. Have you considered using an epoxy soaked nylon or Dacron line along the leading edge of the rudder for impact protection? It can be faired into the blade and once the epoxy sets it's as hard as a rock. Those interested in cassette rudders should Google plans for the Goat Island Skiff, which uses one.

Congratulations on balls House.. boat is looking Great

Congrats on the house purchase Captain Perry! Well done! I restored a small sailing tender in HS. When I fit the rudder to the transom I had a binding issue the first time I installed it. I went to the chandlery and got different gudgeons that had a tension lock on the hinge end. I got those because I didn’t want to have the rudder pop off the hinges when under way. These were nice to have because the second install, I had no issues with alignment or binding. Your rudder looks awesome btw. Any reason you didn’t hinge the tiller?

Today I hit my maxi 95 hard aground but she took it like a tank

Holy moly! I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a reliable kick up rudder system for my future boat build, and now you tell me about cassette rudders! I can't believe after all my research I haven't heard of them. I'll be looking into this, thank you! Congrats on the house and table saw. A good table saw is a game changer(and a good house).

I am vero happy to’ see that the work is progressing. You are very good. Greetings from Italy🇮🇹👍

Happy new year!

That tiller grip has to be as comfortable as possible. It's something you hold on to a lot of the time. I am not sure a rounded rectangle is what you need.

Perry, why not use a lightweight aluminum pipe for a tiller?

Simultaneously making great progress on the boat and swallowing the anchor! Congrats on settling the housing situation down. And fantastic news on the battery sponsorship! Hopefully they give you a discount on additional purchases, a second 100ah unit will be a real blessing - you really can't ever have too much battery storage. Great work on that rudder too :)

great video , thanks

Nice work💪

That looks like a cool system and built to last! May I ask what kind of windvane your planning to have?

Looking great love the color scheme for the boat, nice battery too! I noted that you use wood glue to glue the wood together first is it gorilla glue?

Ingenious, to be sure. But getting up on top of the cabin to insert oneself does not strike me as a safe approach. I know Perry's intention is to mostly remain inside, thus the simplicity of the rig. The 580 class design (19' glassed ply sloops racing across the Atlantic right now) use an aft faced, vertical hatch that's much safer in use...in my view at least.

The beanie makes you really look like a sea captain!

great captain

You are going to miss a lift up tiller. Boat looks good.

I think the reason some batteries catch fire is that the electrolyte (liquid that allows for ion migration) is an alcohol. In lead-acid batteries, they produce hydrogen gas, which is why they are vented. Flammable liquids, and explosive gases are bad around things that heat up and might cause sparks. Lithium-iron phosphate batteries are used on submarines, so I'm sure they're well vetted.

Thank you for this video. The first time I saw cassette rudders, was on the GIS of Mikael Storer (Australian boat architect ?)🙂

Congratulations to the new house!

Bravo goed job

Good luck with house ownership.

Fantastic. I was unfamiliar with this process, which sliminated the plywood. Who manufactures your sheet product? Plascore?
