I have always wanted to build myself a boat. This was maybe not the one I had in mind. But I have to start somewhere I guess. It's a pretty simple and quick build. The boat is made from just one sheet of cheap construction plywood. I made my boat a bit shorther than it needed to be. I cut off about 40 cm the top of the sheet in the second picture.

Several reasons. I have seen other design where the bottom is cut to make a angle in the front of the boat. I wanted to have a bent bottom instead. As you see in the pictures hopefully this is when the sides gets it final length and angle in the.

I hold one site up to the bottom and trace the curve. If you cannot hold the pieces by hand, use some clamps. The thickness of this plywood is 1,2 cm. I set the depth on my circular saw to 5 mm and cut simple plywood boat build zero where I wanted to bend the plywood.

When I can see that the plywood bottom bends right, I hand sand the parts before putting it all. Here is the parts. You can also se the lines in the front of the bottom that makes the plywood being able to bend. I put silicone around the bottom and use a small nail gun, just for speeding the process up.

I use as few nails as I. Then I put the left side on, the back and then the right. When the sides is mounted, and bend the front to the sides and put in screws.

Then I add more screws from the bottom. This was a really fun build and a perfect summer project. Took a couple of hours to make. I had no plans to go on, so I made things up as I went. So I have some suggestions for improvement. If you are not as heavy as me, you can have shorter sides making the bottom wider and the boat more stable in the water.

I had 30 cm height on the sides. If you go with 25 cm instead, you get 70 cm wide bottom instead. Thank you for reading this instructable! Please let me know if you have any questions or let me know what you think. It's much appreciated! You can also look at my other projects here on instructable or check out my YouTube channel.

I entered the Water Contest simple plywood boat build zero, so if simple plywood boat build zero like this project please consider a vote for this little boat! Simple plywood boat build zero again! Reply 6 weeks ago. Sorry for my late reply! That seems about right. I have a picture in the fourth picture Plywood Jon Boat Plans Free Code in the first step and you have the same meassurements there I think. But - consider making yours a tad larger for stability.

I wanted mine to fit in the back of my car but it would be more useful if it was larger. Good luck!! Hello, I really liked your project, I would like to make a boat, but for me it was not very clear the measurements, what is the length, width and height? I would be very grateful if you can tell me these measures. Reply 1 year ago. Question 1 year ago. Hello, we are trying this now, but are a bit puzzled about the dimensions shown on the sheet that you marked.

It looks like the bottom is shorter than the sides, whereas, it would need to be slightly longer to enable it to curve up around the sides. Simple plywood boat build zero you clairfy? Answer 1 year ago. Hey there! Thank you for checking out the instructable and your question. You seem to have found an error I. Sorry about that!

I have updated with a new picture with more accurate dimension. Simple plywood boat build zero I made it, I had no plan and just freehanded it. The sides is a tad shorter than the. I will add that to the instructable text. Please note that I also made the sheet shorter a full sized sheet is cm long. But If you try simple plywood boat build zero make this, use the entire length for a larger vessel more stability.

Hope this helps - and sorry again! Thank you for pointing this out to me and good luck! Wow this was awesome man! I loved it. I don't know what it is, but I love homemade small boats!

I know there are places out there that sell plans for wooden sail boats. I think you will find that silicone is not such a great idea. It tends to fail in boating uses. Perhaps a couple of tubes of a good marine caulk - adhesive would last a simple plywood boat build zero longer. Also instead of cutting half way through to bend a bit of steam or even boiling water on rags would make that plywood bend easily for you. The seat is actually vital as it helps keep the sides of the boat from collapsing inward.

But you just might love to build an identical second unit such that the two can be easily clamped together thus forming a larger vessel. Reply 2 years ago. Hello there!

Sorry for my late reply. Thank you for your insights. I will consider them in my next boat build. I have some additions to make first to this one I think I will drop an anchor in the shallow water so I dont need to worry about them paddling too far. Question 2 years ago. Answer 2 years ago.

Hello and thank you for your question! I put silicone on all "end grain" and screw holes. I also treated the wood with linseed oil after the silicone was cured. This summer, I see no wear simple plywood boat build zero tear. But before putting it in the water I simple plywood boat build zero on a another coat of oil a week or so. I'm thinking on putting clear lacquer for boats in the near future to make this last longer.

Thanks again - a very relevant question - glad you asked! Thanks - yes, that seems to be the same we use here, but I was unable to find the right translated word simple plywood boat build zero varnish.

Now I know! Thank you for your input - much appreciated! The cutting guide I have made myself, out of two strips of masonite board that is painted black. I wanted a bendy guide that comform to sheets of plywood and. It still cuts straight. Thanks and have a nice day!

Max motor size is 15hp, recommended is hp. Basic Plans to build this boat, which you can walk to the water. But down toward the South you would just pick the location relative to the water conditions on the same day.

It will be a bit big as the wind gets stronger but sparkling performance in up to 12knots of breeze. Might be exciting by the time the wind is at 15 and hard to sail in much more than that. Could trial it with the full rig and then get a local sailmaker to cut some sail off the bottom if it is too frisky and cut a similar length off the bottom of the mast.

Another way, though not very good upwind would be to wrap the sail around the mast a few times when the wind gets up. Though the sail shape will become a big baggy for going upwind well. There is also a supplement for the Eureka and other canoes as the freeboard can be a bit low for the drop in outriggers. I provide a drawing on request for making a mod and it also includes how to build the upper mast support into the front crossbeam.

The plan itself is more like an instruction book for boatbuilding techniques to build the particular boat. Do the steps one by one and you will have the boat. Basically you draw straight lines across the narrow width of the ply sheets at a set interval � dotted vertical lines in drawing below.

Blue is the plywood. Green is the curve of the panel. The dimensions are purple. Then put the end of the tape on the edge of the plywood and measure along each dotted line it will be a solid line on the ply. Put a mark at the distances from the edge shown in the plan.

After marking the points on the first line vertical line, do the same for the second line and so on to make a series of dots in a curve. If there is an error it will stand out either when you stand at the end of the sheets and look along the line, or the batten will tell you the point is out of place.

If the point is out of place it is very likely a misread or a mismeasure as most of my plans have been corrected over time. The CAD plans on the computer are super accurate, but sometimes a dimension arrow can be a little off.

Hi Michael, Sorry just one more question about Eureka or I guess all of your plans in general Do you mail a full size printed pattern to trace the cuts from?

If not how do you transfer the lines to a larger scale from the manual to plywood? Also wondering if I should go with the larger volume and wider Eureka. Would this sail better with the outriggers? Harder to paddle? I bought plans for optimus maximus from you. I got to the frame complete stage, then a friend took over construction. A basic sail is part of the free supplement available to purchasers of the outrigger plan.

It provides a mast support built into the front crossbeam a flatter crossbeam curve to suit the Eureka and other boats and dimensions of a homemade lateen sail to be made of polytarp, or even regular sailcloth.

Our partner business Really Simple Sails does a 70sf lug sail. However we are stuck down with quarantine which I think will add a month. In Northern hemisphere winter it goes down to 4 weeks. That sail is USD at this point April Hi Michael, Thank you so much for all the information! The Eureka with outriggers and sailing setup seems like the right way to go I think, especially fur versatility, plus allowing more people aboard comfortably..

One more question.. Hope you are well RP. The Viola will be OK while your son is really small. I designed it around being optimal for one adult. But I left enough margin for decent sailing performance with two adults providing they are not too large.

Maybe it tops out at around pounds or a bit more. One up the Viola paddles pretty well, but it not optimum so will drop behind a proper paddling boat.

The Eureka or Quick Canoe would have a much better ability to travel as a paddling boat with the family. If adding the drop in outriggers it makes sense to leave out the central spreader on these canoes and put two spreaders at the same distance apart as the crossbeams of the drop in rig but a couple of inches forward of the crossbeam locations. As far as performance. The Eureka with outriggers will have a significant and sole advantage when reaching.

But upwind and running the Viola will have significant advantages as it is set up like a racing dinghy. With the outriggers a 60 to 70sf sail seems to be about right. There is one in the free supplement for the buyers of the outrigger plan but we also make one at our sister business Really Simple Sails. The thing with the drop in outrigger setup is that not to fixate on pointing high.

Get heaps of speed and then point up without losing the speed. If light winds sit to heel to leeward so the leeward hull is well immersed. Or make a leeboard for the eureka. Also, how does sailing performance compare with Eureka and amas, vs Viola? With this crazy pandemic, seems like a good time to build a boat out in the carport!

There are many centre hulls that are suitable. Many canoes as long as you can attach the strong points for the crossbeam lash down points. So almost any variation of wood, fibreglass or aluminium. Is it a Eureka. If i wanted to build a trimaran canoe, what centre hull design would you suggest? Good Day- i would like to chat to Michael about some design work.

Is there any direct contact info for him many thanks wayne. The Oz Goose can be out sailing any time that other sailing dinghies are out. It can go conditions that are a bit rougher than many conventional dinghies will not handle well.

The goose is very stable and that stability gives it a lot of power. Also if you do capsize the Goose comes back up with no water inside. This article about sailing in stronger winds and rough water from the Oz Goose Website may be useful for background.
