Preview: Building and Sailing Russell Brown’s PT11 – A Glimpse

Here’s a well-made video showing the building and sailing of Russell Brown’s PT11, with just the right flow and without the awful music we often hear on YouTube videos. True, this Lyle Lovett song is a little cliche, but Lyle Lovett always gets a pass on OCH. I’ll own one of these boats some day.

    I need to get back to work on my PT 11. I bought a Catalina 27 last spring and the project has been ignored. Awesome video!

    Beautiful video and song. Definitely on my bucket list for a retirement project in my basement.

    Waiting for my kit to arrive. I’m guessing it will take me a bit longer than 3 minutes and 28 seconds. But thanks for the challenge!

    The PT 11 wonderfully balances the cruising practicality of a load-carrying dinghy and the performance of a Laser. She is fantastically fun to sail or row, and the kits are created with a stunning focus on quality.

    I must have watched that video more than a dozen times before I ordered my PT11 kit!

    Love ‘If I had a boat’ by Lyle Lovett! Beautiful craftsmanship and a lovely sailing dinghy! Definitely not an ‘Old Fat Boat’ (Larry Carpenter) – and you would love to row her too…

    Oh oh oh oh oh, what a beautiful little craft, and what a beautiful little video. Seeing it out on the water…brought a tear to my eye. I, too, have got to have one of those some day.
