@@skoteoutdoors thanks! I copied Colin Angus’ set up 100%. Playing around with the idea of getting a heavy duty sewing machine and re-doing a few things. Stoked on your trip. Ill be following it for sure. I lived in Alaska for 4 years so i love anything arctic. When do you plan to set out?

Yeah, Matty, so good to see you're still out there. What a terrific job on that boat, wow. I know how difficult it is to construct one, as I helped build an 8 foot dory 12 years ago, ugh! That's something for you to be truly proud of. However, with your many skills I'm not surprised it came out incredibly well. Wishing you the best of everything and look forward to your epic documentary. Safe journey dear friend and blessings,

In case anyone is watching this for guidance, at the beginning when he’s mixing the resin and hardener, then the cabosil, it shows some fast stirring. I don’t know if that was sped up for the video. But, don’t do this. Epoxy and hardener should be gently folded. And then fold in the cabosil too. I watched a video and mixed it fast as I saw on a video. Pot caught on fire. Then I realized video was sped up. After another 500 pots, I never had one harden up again.

If you just take your time its pretty much a giant lego set.. except first you have to make each lego piece.

Thanks Stefan! do our best

I designed and built something very similar nearly 40-years ago I called the Expedition Kayak. Some differences are that I had a sail rig based on a board sail with center board and rudder, and a rowing set-up and a small cuddy cabin in the rear. I could also set up a boom tent over the cockpit when not sailing. I also had a quick attach small bicycle wheel set-up for getting the boat above the high tide line. It would have been nice to have had a solar set-up, as I had a small marine radio which consumed batteries at a voracious rate. My original itinerary was from Olympia, Washington to Malaspina Inlet on the coast of BC, but due to time constraints I left from Horseshoe Bay, BC and returned to same place 15-weeks later. It was a summer of many memories. After high school I had sailed from Olympia, WA. to BC and around Vancouver Island and back to Olympia in a Blanchard Jr. Another trip almost 60-years ago still fresh in my memories.

Making history 👍🏻 Impressive fellas 👏

Watter plus freezing wind, possible heavy snowing and ice around your cruiser and clogging your rows, among fauna like wallrusses, orcas and polar bears (capable to turn your ship ower just for fun after properly fed on fishes), you might get much more adventure, than you solicited for...

@@skoteoutdoors Thanks, that was the intent. The man will depend with his life on training, supplies, gear and luck. Only thing hard to influence is the luck. That makes the planning, obtaining the gear and supplies, training, weather awarness and batman level of preparation for when it will go all wrong. The sail itself can be a breeze, but the MAN has to know what to do if not, and have needed tools, to showel the shxtt, in case it hits the fan. Btw, in planning, i strongly sugest you to contact a person with PROOVINGLY relevant experiences, preferably people living and rowing in same locality, YOU want to visit. Whatewer it will be. Good luck and brake a leg.

I know people that know way more than me designed those boats, but it’s so counter intuitive to put thin pieces of plywood together, with just some fibre glass and a few supports, and expect it to hold together. But definitely making them yourselves makes sure you know the boats intimately, so handling and dealing with repairs would be much easier than if you knew nothing about their construction.

@skoteoutdoors

28 күн бұрын

it really is an amazing design. the boats are big, very tough but also light enough to move around with one person. a big benefit of building these ourselves is that we are very comfortable with the idea of repairing

bahah dude when I watch your videos I think the same about you taking trucks apart and making them better in some way. I would defiantly think there is way way more Knowledge required for diesel mechanics. Shit I do is just like a big puzzle or lego set really. also wood is easy to hide mistakes lol

Build looks amazing, great work. I’m looking forward to following your progress through the Northwest Passage! I’m interested in building a row cruiser as well and was wondering if you had a rough material list in order to cost out the build before ordering the plans?

Freaking legends

Boats looks awesome. Look pretty good. Are they good enough to withstand contact with the rocks or some floating debris?

She looks gorgeous. What is the name of your boat? How long did it take to build her and how much did it cost?

When will the full movie of the expedition be coming out?

I wonder if there's a custom build for 20 or 30 rower?

mmm that's a good question. its been awhile but I would guess around 4-5 thousand per boat to properly kit it fully out. I built mine in just under two months. every day working on it.

Food and water is going to be tricky. For the expedition across the arctic this summer we will be preparing three months of meals prior to departing and free drying and vacuum sealing everything into individual meals. We plan on having a very high fat high carb diet, basic but filling. On an upcoming video of the month training run we just completed on the west coast we will show what we have been eating and talk about the weight loss I encountered in just a month.

Was the boat parts cut cnc as a kit ? Or plans only ?
