HI Brian, I'm watching your series with great interest and appreciation. I have a suggestion for the challenge of getting the correct, finished rib length. Could you construct the gunnels with the rib dados open at the top to allow excess rib length to protrude. After the ribs dry and shrink they can be trimmed to exact length and a capping piece can be fitted above the rib ends to complete the top inside of the gunnel. Cheers, Scott
Enjoying this video build. Love the lines of the boat. Just a though on the submarine that became a "plug" for the pedal drive, could it be made into a dagger board when used as a sail boat? Just a thought.
@@kristinesautter3529 that’s the plan but to stabilize it I would need to make a separate box to fit inside the box and then put the dagger board in that
Right now we are still in the design stage, next steps will be 5 months of hard testing, then I will redesign it based on what I learn from the testing and create a building course and plan set. Depending on many factors that could be ready as soon as June 2025 or as late as Sept 2025

amazing work
Great series! Any chances you’ll be making Cape Falcon canoe T-shirts in the future?
@@cedarsmokesurvival liz is the graphic design person so I’ll have to ask her!
@@capefalconkayak Well, she does great work! Thanks for asking.
@@cedarsmokesurvival Liz says they are on the website
I found them. Thank you both!
Looking pretty good!
So the nails are just pounded into the stringers?
@@mikeh4035 right. They don’t hold in the stringers very well but they do hold in the ribs so they shouldn’t back out.
I love and would love to build it. Is there a course on building this boat?
