We also have a wooden paddle boat as a dinghy to our MY from the same Company and we are very happy with it. It‘s already our third boat we bought from them. Greetings from Luxemburg, Europe.
Yes!! I built a CLC ocean kayak from their plans (Eek, 22+ years ago) in VT unheated garage during winter. So much fun! Tula's & CLC = perfect fit. This will be such a fun series. That shop is so cool. Besides, Bacon's is right there.🤯 Absolutely fantastic. Be well.
Hi Ann! Are you the one that left the super kind voicemail to clc? If so then thank you so much❤️ We really appreciate it. That meant the world to us ! 🥰
This is going to be a great project! I built a Pygmy kit and as many of your viewers know it is incredibly satisfying to paddle, row, sail something you built with your own hands. Her maiden voyage was in the San Juans and I went to many of the same places you sailed to. My next big project is going to be a Wharram.
I am excited for your news, if it is what I think it is. The Hobie TI sailors out there can attest, doing 10 knots 2 inches off the water is plenty fast enough. I only wished it had better in to the wind capabilities but that is the trade off for an amazing craft.
I like how you've kept the idea alive for years, then only moved forward with it when you have most of the time required. John Harris clearly knows how to work out the limitations and compromises to make viable craft.
Oh my goodness!!! So fun!! I'm really excited about this project! I'm such a Hobie Mirage drive fanboy!! I kayak fish 5 or 6 days a week in my Hobie PA12 and love that Mirage technology.
I always refer to Annapolis as the boat circus. I've always seen something very unusual and interesting there. A guy with a dog who would jump off the bow swim around and climb up the swim ladder run up and jump off again 3x till Capt. Commanded he stop. A wedding party with band on the bow, a guy sail down wind into ego ally and tack out in between boats lined up going in, a yacht once owned by Francis Langford. It certainly will be entertaining for you.
Exiciting news, can’t wait to see up an go! Always thought this type of boat would be a great “fun” type of tender for a cruising mothership! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.
Dear TES couple. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic! What a great concept! Congrats. You definitely found the right partner to build this unique new boat style vessel. Congrats again. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video part about the building process. 2) Please give your dog a hug from me. Thanks in advance. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people. Post Scriptum: From now on I will always remember the boat building specialist as the "you know!" man. 😁 ;-)
Billy & Sierra, you two will be the talk of anchorages everywhere when the other cruisers see you towing your new Chesapeake Light Craft Dinghy! :¬) Webhead USA
I think you could more easily modify a hobie ti, by gorilla taping on some side panel gunwals to give it that retro look and prevent water from splashing into the hull. But I still want to see you kitesurf fly your body in the air in front of your boat connected by a rope to it, Ben Franklin key style. You rock!
i have 3 hobie mirage drive boats that sail,outriggers,trampolines,two person on one--i have taken them on large lakes,powell,lake mead and many other lakes in ,wy,calif,utah,nevada,plus the ocean but do not go far from the marina on the ocean--they are fun--i have a trailer to haul them since car topping is a pain--they sail at 7 to 8 mph-the smaller one is only 5 mph-
If you designed it I’m interested in one Sounds like it would be great for my lake place Keep us updated I really curious about this Sounds like great fun
Well, I can’t wait to see your new design. I was thinking for the outraging part couldn’t you marriage like cedar to with a rope rubber it would make it lighter yet still durable for the waves.
That looks pretty cool, I am wondering if you were going to make a deal with them to produce that boat and you get a little piece of it? That would be pretty cool for you.
Look up Bangka boats from the Philippines. (Pronounced Bonka) They have been around for a couple of centuries probably, at least since the 1800's. Skinny ama's compared to Polynesian tri-canoes and they, since WW2, have been powered, usually by surplus USA genset engines. I saw several that were rigged for sailing similar to Hawaiian style when I was in the Philippines, and they haul ass. I don't know, check them out. At least look at some pictures before you build.... You can never have too many ideas before building a boat... Good Luck
@@charonstyxferryman You are most probably correct, and I would never argue about anything concerning watercraft with anyone named Lars Hansen! Sweden or Norway I'm guessing?... That's a pretty salty name. When I first saw Billy's drawings, they looked exactly like the "bonka" boats we used as dive boats in the P.I. back in the early 70's. I was already recommending those sweet little tri's before finishing his video to be truthful, I had to watch it twice... Anyway, Billy and Sierra are so much younger than me, and their style, other than that DeFever! tends to be much more trendy than mine, just thought it might be easy to overlook the simplicity of the traditional Filipino fishing boats. Sounds like he's on the right track though... Fair winds!
@@mikeemery6741 that Lars Hansen comment was hilarious! Also, thanks for sharing the Bangka design, I'm enjoying going down some of these rabbit holes.
Sounds like great concept, I understand you and Chesapeek Light Craft have put in a huge amount of thought into this but from your video it seems like you may not have considered a few things ........ I know this won't change anything (and I'm not really trying to) but this would be my input into such a venture. You seemed to be falling into western thinking......as this is an open outrigger canoe ..... look more to south east Asia for inspiration. Jukung Indonesian outrigger canoe or Waka Polynesian outrigger canoes would be my inspiration. Kujungs, are exactly that, open canoes, they have over hull length low displacement wave piercing amas ...... they rely on the main hull (which have a decent amount of rocker) for floatation and the wave piercing amas are more for stability (not so much heeling resistance) ...... they sail them to their limit in open ocean, reducing sheeting to reduce heel ..... this may be more of a reflection of pairing it with lanteen style rig and its inherent sailing characteristics. For uniqueness and safety and sailability I would look at adopting a flying lanteen rig (specifically Romy Rig). This rig pays homage to the lanteen and to a lesser extent crab claw rigs traditionally used on outrigger canoes. It overcomes the inherent issue with tacking a traditional lanteen rig by adopting two masts/split mast, allowing the sail to be hung between them and clear of obstruction (easily achieved with double outrigger). To be even more unique you could even rig you kite to it? Current technology/system could be adapted ...... you could start/develop the concept by using a modified windsurfer rig mast, boom (split the wishbone boom and modify into pair of mast sections like whale ribs), sail (minimal adpation) ....... then just need to build a bow slewable sprit. Only issue is reefing not easy to furl (but may be unnessesary as lanteen readily spill excess wind and can be easily sheeted out) but the design has huge potential for anchored canopy structure, etc..... Very easy to sail, safe footless sail, very forgiving sheeting tension, there are a couple of UA-cam videos demonstrating this. Looks like you would use one of the pedal assist in the locked position and I would suggest the forward pedal assist be removable and temporary have a retractable daggerboard fitted (rather than a dedicated daggerboard case) .... that being said, I don't recall Jukungs actually using Lee or Dagger boards ..... so maybe the two locked pedal drives would be adequate Please consider these notes as concept ideas generated by a common interest, they are not critisims or suggestions ...... more like friendly discussion points.
sorry guys but it's not new desing i was using that kinda boat back in 90's in Philippines they call it Banka they come in all sizes and been around for thousand years
i actually wanted to build something like that for me and my large doggo for laguna madre. i think i'd need 2 different keels though because some of laguna madre gets very shallow.
So cedar is a good water-resistance wood. Well, of course, that's why so many fences are built with cedar. It sound's like a nice project and a nice collaboration. The software you used seems similar to Inkscape (a free download).
Going to Anna Polis ! ! Good on you Amplifying on a proven design putting it under sail .

Dude.... your dreams....... have been built for a 1000 years in Hawaii....native... by greeks. By every island nation. I think even brook shield build one in the movie blue lug, hahaha... Get a patent quick... there 4 million of them in front of your dream.
I know why, I know why, I know why,.......but I won't spoil it for everyone else. Love the design video!
I had to wait for all the parts to be out to watch it haha. Such an epic undertaking for a month of work. Awesome to see how this all came together.
We also have a wooden paddle boat as a dinghy to our MY from the same Company and we are very happy with it. It‘s already our third boat we bought from them. Greetings from Luxemburg, Europe.

Sounds great, maybe it is the type of craft I should look to buy as an easy day sailor paddling craft. Looking forward to the build.
Jamie Manzel makes pedal powered boats typically out of fiberglass that are amazing and perfect for what you want to do.
You’re awesome ❤
