Marking out panels today , and find myself watching your build video here. It`s a great way to start a build , you put it all in here , in sequence . Highly recommended viewing for anyone building these great little Michalak boats. 👍 Thank you for taking the time to make this vid.
For me the trickiest thing was the leeboard instalation. I had never done quite that job on any other boat but it came out good. There is one slide in there that has my handwritten notes for the leboard.
@@goodkebo Thanks to the author of the video. Beautiful boats that I didn't know about before. I had my own Eastport Pram, which I drew myself and my friend built. He died, but I believe that THERE he will see this video, he was very fond of boats without frames and with screws, without a well. He made many plywood boats for people.
Thanks for this video. You’ve inspired me to finaly build those plans that have been laying around for years. So I’ve bought ply and started cutting out bulkheads and transoms. Today I am adding the stiffeners to them and moving on to side panels and bilge panels. And off we go!! So glad I watched all the way through to the sailing part that’s what really lit the fire. Just beautiful. Where are your sailing grounds? I’m in the Florida panhandle.
That is awesome! Good building wishes to you! I sail in Maine and South Carolina. There is a Jim Michalak Facebook page, you should post pics of your build there :)
@@geoffadams5004 The mast is 2-2x4 glued together then a conical taper once you get out of mast partner. Easy build, it took 2 hours to make the mast not including glue dry time. The mast is pretty light as built and the size was specified in the plans.
Thanks for the video i was wondering if you had any problems with understanding the build process . I got the plans the other day and it seemed like there werent many actually directions. Also where did you get the paper copy printed at all i got was a pdf any help would be appreciated.
Building and sailing a lovely little boat! I'm so pleased you shared it with us all 😊👍.

I hope the vid helps. Just keep moving ahead. Have fun.
I think this is the only video on UA-cam showing any of the Piccup build process! Thanks! :)
Are you going to build one? It is a great boat.
@@goodkebo Just started ...lol
Thanks for making a video of the build and sailing. Very cool!
Well done guys , great job.
Nice video! I can’t imagine a more useful 12’ boat
Amazing!! I'm midway through building one myself. Gonna watch this again and take notes :)

@@goodkebo That`s the part I`m a little worried about too ....that curve AND the angle of it....
Beautiful boat! Thanks for taking the time to make that video!
Thanks, other people's videos help inspire my build.

Amazing video, thanks! Best wishes from Sweden
Tape the seams while the filler is soft so no sanding! Until after coat of resin on glass tape.
Beautiful work! I hope you and your family enjoy many, many wonderful hours with Spinach!
Great video, definitely want to build one of those.
น่าทึ่งมาก..ขอบคุณThangYou🤗

Quick question, why the 3” mast?

Very nice!
Yep. I reckon no reef and off you go mate!
that's beautiful.
Thanks. Fun to build.
Great job, beautiful boat, is the cockpit really 6 and a half ft. Long.
My 6' oars fit length wise very well.

Go to the designers website, he can print the plans for you and supply that extra info, Id think.www.jimsboats.com/

@@goodkebo much appreciated beautiful boat by the way
супер
Your launch area looks familiar, we, Mt Desert island?
Close by MDI. Branch Lake in Ellsworth. Beautiful spot.
Actually the original launch spot was on MDI on Hadley Point!
We went kayaking in June and we launched at Hadley point. That's why it looked familiar.
It looks like you have both a Piccup and a Piccup Squared. Can you describe any sailing differences?
I have the standard Piccup Pram and the other boat is a Mayfly 16. The Mayfly hold more people but the Piccup is faster.
how much did it cost to build?
about $850 including the sails
The shape of the boat is not good-looking. The disadvantage is that the bow cannot cut waves and divert water.
Have you actually sailed one ?
I bet you have not.
They are far better than you say.
