Emily Builds a Sailboat! THE BOAT MUST GO ON! - CLC Eastport Nesting Pram (Ep 3)

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 fillets to the interior and exterior---as well as reinforcing the bottom panel with fiberglass.

This lightweight wooden boat will be used as a sailing, rowing, and motoring dinghy for S/V Temptress. This model is based on the Eastport Nesting Pram (plans by Chesapeake Light Craft - ). It will weigh approximately 75 lbs, and be just under 8 feet long, made mainly of okoume. It is built using a “stitch and glue“ method.
