2018 year end Zip cruise

We have had an unusually clear, dry week for this time of year and i couldn't resist the temptation to take the Glen-L Zip for one more ride this season, She performed flawlessly as always and despite the cold you couldn't smack the smile off my face! I Love My Zip!

    I gotta be honest, I choked up a bit when you erased the board... Thanks for the vids, man. I've been watching one or two a night for a the last couple months while sipping on some whiskey, and dreaming of finally starting my Zip.

    Hello Joshua, how are you? I am from Brazil I live in the state of Parana city of Londrina. I watched a lot of your videos from the series (building the Zip)! I found your videos when researching mahogany wooden boats, I really liked the result and was wondering if the project was made by you or bought it or could it help me get a project like your boat? My dad owns a well-equipped woodwork and I want to do the boat with my dad!

    Fantastic effort there Josh , you are rightly proud of what YOU have made with the Zip! Craftsmanship, and attention to detail are beyond comparison. Quality, is what you do where none but you will see. Here`s to you and the family enjoying many adventures onboard her! ;)

    i just discovered your videos and really love them!!! i want to build my own riva ...i have some experience with boats throughout the years but i wonder if its too much for me stil doubting if i should do it or not , meanwhile i will start restoring and videotaping the rebuild of a cougar powerboat catamaran that i have bought which originated from 1989 and has became more rare every year even the factory wants to buy it back but i want to make it as new (almost) and then later on decide what i will do.

    Looks great man, glad you managed to get one more ride in. I am surprised that a skeg was just an option, can't imagine how it would be without one. Looks like it handles really well. Looking forward to spring already!

    Something I just realised about the Zip build. You made it RHD and not LHD, any particular reason? Does it feel odd getting out of the LHD car and into a RHD boat?

    A lot of valuable information in these videos but you drove me absolutely crazy with the 'making good progress' and 'it's looking great' every few minutes and constantly repeating yourself. I reckon you could have done a really good series in about the half the time. Anyway, I appreciate your efforts regardless and the boat looks great.
