The Oz Goose is super easy to build, has excellent racing performance but is stable and docile enough for three beginners to sail with good sensitivity and speed. Lighter than a Laser and a fraction of the cost.
The plans covers two styles of building.
Built with timber framing – twhich can be a cheaper option if you have access to suitable framing timber.
Built with epoxy fillets – this is the fastest building option. It also can produce a more rigid and lighter weight boat.
The plans are very complete and include details of every aspect of building the boat, links to rigging methods etc. They also include complete details on making a sail out of polytarp which can help reduce the budget for the boat by a few hundred dollars.
It is easy to build – it is a box with only two curved lines. Photo is another of our ten boat building projects in the Philippines. We can built 10 boats with some sponsor help for the same price as importing a single Laser sailing dinghy.
Our first Family Boatbuilding Weekend 2015 saw family and corporate groups assemble 10 Oz Geese in three days.
Preparation for the weekend took 4 people five days.
The Goose can handle all sorts of difficult conditions with ease. With one
… or three aboard.
