Somebody has to say it: Cute Boat! Is the build going as you expected it to? It looks like three weeks to a paintable, trailerable boat, and it looks like everybody works on all the boats to push the process along.
Hi Mike. The first week included a lot preparing and glassing panels. Seems to be going together quickly now. Several of the builders are staying on for another few weeks so we should have a good idea soon.
Josh, you and Brandon hit a grand slam with the OS15. I was at the founder’s build week 1 to help out and get a better appreciation for the kit parts, process, etc. and got another look at the prototype. Brandon’s passion for the project is very apparent with all the well thought out details. Still waiting for sea trials in 12-18 knots of wind though!
Just keeps getting better and better! Love the light air tacking and the unballasted stability. These 80-year-old bones are itching to get back on the water.
Aloha everyone. Josh, this looks like an oversized rig from the Portage Pram! Boomless squaretop and full battons. I really love the thought that went into this, and then the actual build and rigging from those ideas. Really awesome project. Good work!
Oh there is so much more I want to see. What does a person look like sitting on the floor boards with body back under the cuddy, say a six foot male? Last/bottom photo, sail shape looks beautiful but I'm wanting to push the traveler all the way to starboard. Oh I'm just going to have to be there in September and then back again for the month long build class. Then rent a covered UHaul to drive it back east!

First the Scamp, and now the Old Salt - SCA and friends are hitting it out of the park! I can't wait to see an Old Salt in the Everglades Challenge.
Looks great! Is anyone building the go fast version with the bowsprit and asymetric?

Really excited to see if we can get in up on a plane.

Nice. I’d have come for the build week if I didn’t already have other plans. Maybe next year.

How long is the boat-building camp? Two weeks? Three weeks? Trying to get an idea how long a build would take. Everything so far is lovely.
Hi Paul! See my comment below Mike’s. Basically camp was 2 weeks, but most are staying for another week or two. We’ll try to post updates.
I was grabbing a coffee the other day and noticed Old Salt on her trailer outside the shop!
The amount of seating area in the cockpit is impressive and I was surprised by the amount of room in the cubby! (albeit without the mast in place).
