Start to build a GIS in Germany
Hello there,
at first sorry for my terrible english. There is no chance to spell since 20 years, so this is the rest from school
OK, let's talk about me and my GIS
Im a programmer and 53 years old . I have no background of woodworking, so I think there will come a lot of mistakes. The placed of building is my carport. It is roomy enough but cold (Germany , today mornig we have 10°C) Yesterday was the 9'th day of building so that I can show some pictures.
By the way please use simple words and phrases if you answer.
Best regards
Peter

Nice job Peter, looks like you are getting on with the build very quickly.
Lovely dog, I hope she is a good sailing companion.
Where do you hope to sail your Goat?

Hey Gisle,
thanks for your response! The dog (his name is Ferdinand) is watching me and my daily work.
The GIS will stay in Germany's third greates sea: "Plauer See": click

Hi Peter,
WOW! Plauer See (Mecklemburg? between Berlin and Rostock) - not so far from my country. Hoping for under sail meeting!
Fine job! In German style: Neatly, precisely and cleanly... I like it!
Keep up!

@Gizzle
I will have an eye on his paws (I hope it means the same like in german may be it means have a look at his paws??)
At this time I have a stop in the building, because my job takes a lot of time.
Next week I start to mount the sides and the bulkheads/transom.
@Dave
I use Okume(Gaboon) in 6mm with five sheets. It looks nice, i like it too. For the wood I have Oregon and Oak for hardwood.
@Robert
You are right with Mecklenburg Vorpommern. See you on the water!
Here is the actual state:
Glueing the bulkheads and the transom with masking the ply to get a nice finish. I hope I can reduce sanding with this trick.

In future I need the sail.In Germany i have to pay 650,--€/936$.
Have anyone a tip for an excellent sail without this high costs?
Maybe in UK. And if possible give me a picture of your tip.
Have a nice day
Peter

A forrest of clamps!
At least one UK boat had a very nice sail made by McNamara Sails
I will probably speak to them and my local sail maker to get a price.
Best wishes.

Hello Peter,
You could send Bjarne a message, please see below thread:
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f169/s...le-gis-137526/
Other options for sails are Duckworks (USA online shop that also supports Michael Storer's boat plans) and McNamara (UK sail maker, more performance oriented sails). There is quite a bit of information on this forum on spars (especially the boom and yard) and number of sets of reef points.
Build is looking good. Have fun with it!
Best regards,
Joost

@Gizzle
thanks for asking McNamara. On the website I can't found info's. The sail I wish looks like the sail from Michael on his site with two reefpoints and the reinforcements.
@Joost
thanks for your tip! This sail looks a little bit simpler then the original? Maybe it will be an alternative for rough conditions or testing. Greetings to Netherland. Maybe see you on the ijsselmeer?
I hoop saturday the wether willbecome better. So I can glue the rest bulkheads.
So long
Peter

Hello Peter,
I have not sailed on the IJselmeer yet but the Randmeren sounds like more appropriate waters.
The white GIS on Michael's website is Peter Hyndman's boat and the first one built. I believe that that sail was made by a tarpmaker rather than a sailmaker according to instructions given by Peter.
My sail (Duckworks) is of similar construction as Bjarne's (horizontal lay out). McNamara is a maker of performance sails and uses a different construction type. Bjarne's sail does have two sets of reef points (the upper one is just tied in at the back and front).
It all depends a bit what you would like to do with the boat. For cruising purposes, the fancy lay out is not needed. If you require maximum performance for racing or just like the gorgeous looks of the McNamara sail (I do!) I am sure you will not be disappointed. You could send a message per this forum to "Watermaat", a GIS sailor who sails the McNamara sai,l for more feedback (he has also sailed my Duckworks sail).
Best regards,
Joost
