    I love how humble Matt integrates himself in the class. Not bragging about that he does boatwork for a living, but enjoying the group and to working with other guys.
  • Since building Duracell is a slow meticulous process, it was great to see these little sailboats come together so quickly. What a way to inspire people to take on bigger projects!
  • @thomastest8824
    Very Nice. In also follow Magic Carpet and enjoyed watching him build his Duck Dingy in his in-laws shop. I'm thinking about trying it too! Live to sail, Sail to live!
  • @dcdow180
    What a wonderful episode, watching these boating enthusiasts building their own boats is extremely satisfying
  • Looking at that view makes me want to go get on the Bremerton ferry just to get out on the water. It’s a beautiful sunny day here in Olympia 💜💜💜⛵️⛵️⛵️

    Love it! I built a stitch and glue kayak last winter - it’s so satisfying seeing all the parts zip together and the hull shape being formed. I especially like the idea of using dowel pieces to keep the ridges in alignment. Very cool!

    All we could think in the first 10 seconds was how big would an "Open-60-in-a-Box" be?! 🙂Love it!
  • @bobflores
    Love walking into that building, especially, on the wooden boat festival weekend in September. Looks like a fun class. That is going to be a great tender for Duracell. Thanks for the episode.
  • @Deutschtown
    Always a surprise every week. Looks like the Northwest has as big of a tradition in boat building as does the Maine coast.

    This is up there with one of the most enjoyable boaty videos I've watched on YouTube! Great project, interesting to see the process and excellent videography/editing. Many thanks!
  • @jimedson3853
    How fun! And a productive result too. A nice break from the 'other' project. Thanks for the video 👍👍😁
  • @dcallan812
    A boat in a box? It looks very nice. Easy build thats handy for Matt 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just joking he has proved he can work with his hands, just look at how Duracell is coming along. Great video work. 2x👍

    I can’t wait to show this episode to my kid, who is taking some dinghy sailing camps this summer and has played extensively on the first dinghy you reviewed in this episode. I have a feeling we’ll be stitching and gluing together after school this Fall.
  • @littlejohnny47
    Great idea to use hillbilly music for a Pacific Northwest sailboat build. So appropriate! Thanks Yanni!
  • @paulowens6838
    really cool to see modern blending with classic. CNC cut panels, plastic zip ties, modern epoxy and woven glass.... and sleek classic hull lines. Super cool stuff!
  • @marcoartini7480
    What a beautiful experience guys! I love that you shared everyone's story in the video. Thank you!
  • thanks for sharing this project, real nice digression, can't wait for next week
  • @jannikgabriel
