How To Hoist & Stow A Nesting Dinghy On Deck Before Passage | Sailboat Story 114
One way we prepare for a serious crossing is by taking apart our nesting dinghy, lifting the 2 halves aboard the boat, and secure it to the forward deck. This is a much safer way to sail when there is a possibility of encountering large seas, high winds, or conditions that would threaten to flip or...

LINK TO THE "DINGHY COST SPREADSHEET": ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Chameleon dinghy is built and ready to launch. Now it's time to finally see how she floats, motors, rows, and sails. We load everything up in the truck and head to the lak...
Building A Chameleon Sailing Dinghy | Painting Her Bottom #7
She's particularly beautiful when flipped over... the gentle curves of her bare bottom up in the air. I approach her slowly. Then, at the height of anticipation... I slap on a coat of paint. Yep. It's time to paint the hull of the dinghy. I painted on 4 coats. Boy, it sure does look grea...
Building A Chameleon Sailing Dinghy | Mast & Sprit #6
Constructing a mast and sprit for a Chameleon sailing dinghy seems like a simple affair, but it's actually quite complex. It takes a lot of effort to plane a 12' long 4x4 post into a 12' long 2" diameter mast. The process also creates an extraordinary amount of wood chips as wel...
Building A Chameleon Sailing Dinghy | Pintles & Gudgeons #5
In this vlog, I install the pintles and gudgeons that hold the rudder onto the transom of the chameleon sailing dinghy. After that I talk a lot. Even more than usual, it seems. I don't know why this episode is so chock full of blabbering, but it is. Then I epoxy some stuff. Oh! I apply paint...
Building A Chameleon Sailing Dinghy | Sawing Her In Half – #4
When constructing a homemade Chameleon nesting dinghy, you reach a point when you must literally saw it in half. That time is now. So with the help of my lovely assistant, I reluctantly take a saw to the object that I've, up to this point, invested over 139 hours into. After an hour of sawin...
Building A Chameleon Sailing Dinghy | Epoxy & Fiberglass – #3
I flip the dinghy over and cover the outside of the hull in a layer of fiberglass cloth and epoxy. It's so cool to see how the cloth disappears as it absorbs the epoxy - this is especially apparent when the footage is sped up, which you'll certainly see - with a certain amount of stylish ...
Building A Chameleon Sailing Dinghy | Stitch & Glue – #2
Part 2 of building a homemade Chameleon Sailing Dinghy from Home Depot plywood and cheap epoxy. I've worked on the boat now for 68 hours. It's hard work, but I keep reminding myself how amazing it's going to be when we're sailing it around various clear-water anchorages in the A...
