How to Restore a Sailboat
I found this forsaken, banged-up craft in the reeds of Scott Cameron Bay in Bridgehampton, NY. I’ve never done a restoration of a boat, so this was largely a learning experience for me. It took about 3 days and a lot of patience. I actually tried to build my own mast and sail, but I used the dumpster-bound materials I had laying around, which was an incredibly heavy steel mast that literally capsized the boat immediately…so my next task is building a mast and a sail, or maybe buying one …

Awesome. I hope you will do sequel videos in which you do finally get to build a mast and sail.
Your videos are always fun.
What you have will sail fine.
I made a dinghy into a sail boat once alot like what you did , as a mast I used 2.5 inch aluminum irrigation pipe with about .050″ wall, its light and strong and easy to find.
Now I have a 16 foot hobie-cat , it goes real fast.
I have a 14-15 foot mad river canoe I want to make a sailing canoe and to ease costs use a blue tarp as a sail but amature boat builder. Your video was helpfull but would like some more info.
jekennamer – You’re talking to an amateur here, too. I finished this project late last fall and have still never been sailing in anything. I tried to make a sail for this with a tarp and some old steel beams, but the beams were so heavy it capsized it in 30 seconds! Couldn’t really give you any advice, but good luck!
you are awesome. restoring boats and making awesome road bike videos. keep it up man.
