Will this DIY plywood boat we built in just one week actually float?
After our dinghy got stolen in the Cape Verde islands, so we decided to build one ourselves. on a small island in Africa. In someone else’s garage. With limited tools, limited materials, and a whole lot of improvisation.

This 9ft dinghy has sailed over half way around the world. A tender that splits in half to save space on deck, has been the ideal dinghy for our circumnavigation. Having a tiny sail boat that we can use to explore the rivers and beaches of the countries we visit has been an absolute joy. In this vid...

PROBLEMS SOLVED! Chesapeake Light Craft comes to the rescue!
We have worked out the issues with starting with the wrong plans. We have worked out a design to make my boat able to do everything I want it to, including nesting, and a lot of ideas of our own.
I've made great progress this wee...
THE BOAT MUST GO ON!
Following last week's big mistake, we decide to move forward with the basic parts of the build until we have the proper plans. In this video, we review what changes need to be made. Then Emily begins the "glue" part of the stitch-and-glue method---applying epoxy ...

In this video, Emily uses wire to "stitch" together the planks, hull, and transoms of the Eastport Pram to create its shape and prepare it for "glue," aka epoxy. But halfway through, we realize we...

Stare at the screen while a series of pictures flash before your eyes. Observe the people doing things in places. In the midst of the cascading stream of multicolored pixels, you may experience an emotional reaction. Afterwards, ...
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...
Molly has been wanting to learn how to sail the dinghy since before we started building it. Now that we're back cruising, she's been working hard to learn the ropes. It won't be long until she can sail it all by herself!
This is a special "BONUS" video is UNCUT & UNEDIT...
We help Sailing Zingaro decide which cruising dinghy to get. Right now they're a bit torn on whether to buy an inflatable or to build a wooden dinghy. Maybe this little video will help them decide.
They need a new dinghy and are trying to decide which one to build or buy, so we tell them about...

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...
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...
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...
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...
