She features a self-righting design, steel twin keels, and a Ljungström rig. Built using the foam sandwich construction method. Every design decision is made to keep her simple, strong, and watertight. Construction began on October 16th 2021 and concluded with her first launch 3 years, 11 months, and 8 days later on September 24th 2025. In this episode I build a mast of carbon fiber, upcycling windsurfer masts. 💵 Donations to help build the boat: 👕 Buy a T-shirt!: bonfire.com/ocss-schematic-1 🟠 Patreon:   / oceancapablesmallsailboat   🅿️ Paypal: https://paypal.me/perryOCSS 🛒 Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls... ₿ Bitcoin: bc1qryllpsf8putynvvsk246ur03yn5wsdrelpmwtg TotalBoat Affiliate Link: https://www.totalboat.com/OCSS Power Queen LiFePo4 battery: https://ipowerqueen.com/?ref=jwhobvks 👍 Facebook group:   / 581818059568072   📷 Instagram:   / oceancapablesmallsailboat   📧E-mail: [email protected] Opening music: The Showdown by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio Closing music Playback by Power Glove Mini-cruiser, Micro-cruiser, Pocket Cruiser, scow bow, twin keels, PVC foam core, garage DIY boat build, boatbuilding, Ljungstrom rig, Raleigh North Carolina, #minicruiser #boatbuilding #boatrestoration #refit #sailboat #boat #sailing #solosailing #pocketcruiser #dinghysailing
