Yes, they started after us, but it is being constructed by a team of professionals, with a high number of workers, in an indoor environment.

@@SailingSVLynx That explains it. You probably wish you had at least some of that.

We have emergency tillers.

@@SailingSVLynx So someone in each hull moves those tillers manually? That takes some coordination.

@@WillPittenger The rudders are manually linked, so one tiller will control both. We don't have hydraulic steering, just a hydraulic auto pilot. If the wheel has a problem the rudders are still linked by a large metal tube.

@@dalgamor The hydraulic fluid isn't sent directly to each rudder's tiller?

@@WillPittenger No, that would be hydraulic steering, we went with mechanical so that we have better feedback at the wheel.

I'm glad you enjoyed the first book in the zONE series, let me know what you think of the others when you're done. And, thanks for watching our videos!

Thanks, it's a labor of love for sure.

Yes, we like that it becomes one big structure all epoxy tabbed together rather than modules using just putty.

Brian is an electrician of 40 years experience, he sees no issues with how we ran the PEX and conduits, but thanks for your input.

@@SailingSVLynx Like Brian, I have experience from 16 years to today, 40 years of experience in the development of radio equipment and have studied the insulating properties of various materials from which radio components are made, hence my comment. I have cases when an electromagnetic coil filled with epoxy resin corrodes due to high humidity in the room only through the air. Electrolysis destroys any valence bonds and enhances the effect of osmosis at minimal currents only in the presence of voltage. All materials have the ability to absorb micro doses of water, both ceramics and polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. When there is a constant voltage, this effect is amplified. In the case of alternating voltage, current can pass through parasitic capacitance, for example, two wires, a wire, a generator housing, a wire and water, etc. Not everything we see is an electrical circuit, this is what we are talking about, so please be as careful as possible. Pay attention to the case with the 44 and the hybrid engine ( ua-cam.com/video/Ys7L5rFN4PA/v-deo.html ), as a result, the stainless anchor chain and rigging fasteners began to corrode in them, etc....good luck

@@ЄвгенОлещук Electric fields are proportionate to the current. I see where you are coming from, you being a "Radio Engineer" but unless he is drawing 500 Amps continuously for 20 years I wouldn't be concerned. The epoxy in the boat will decay way before the osmosis becomes an issue.

@@ЄвгенОлещук Though we appreciate your worry about our boat, the Wynns Video you are referencing wasn't a problem with water lines being near a conduit. They had stray current issues from carbon fiber portions of their boat, salt water, and two types of metals in that salt water turning their boat into a battery. A little research into Pex and conduits shows that they only suggest a 1" separation between Pex and the conduit. Nor are we putting electromagnetic coils in these locations.

@@nando7795 I must make a remark to you, just the fields are proportional to the voltage and the current is proportional to the resistance and voltage, only magnetic fields are proportional to the current. Regarding osmosis, the capillary effect destroys the epoxy resin, in microcracks due to the capillary force which sometimes creates a pressure of 50 atmospheres, water entering the cavity destroys the resin. What I was talking about is that in the presence of voltage, the water in the crack penetrates deeper and electrolysis begins, and this in turn destroys any structure that I had the experience of observing in practice. By the way, in genetic engineering, genes are infused into cells using a voltage pulse between electrodes between which there is a membrane with holes the size of gene molecules, that is, they shoot only genes, they break through the cell membrane and get into the cell, etc. Regarding currents, they can melt insulation, but that's another topic.

They are PVC foam with vacuum bagged fiberglass on the outside. There are pillars of epoxy that go through as well for added compression strength.

@@SailingSVLynx Thank you so much.

They would likely fall out, and we will keep things like clothes or linens on those shelves.

They are 2" pipe, so I'm not too concerned. I can also access all of the run from the sink to the tank, so I can always fix it later, if needed.

Yep, I had a lot of crazy adventures as a child, maybe I'll share a few as time goes on.

Thanks, happy holidays to you too!

We used Pex A :) The bottom step doesn't have a riser because it projects over the sole and we need the space to step near it. The one above doesn't have a riser because we didn't have enough room for a full 9.5" step, we we used the chamfer panel behind the step to let your toe go beyond the step.

Certain countries require them, for example, Turkey. Here is a quote, "Turkey requires all cruising boats to have both gray and black water holding tanks. Boats without the appropriate tanks may be prohibited from entering or anchoring in some popular cruising areas. They may also face fines or have their vessel impounded."

Which one? The English school in Germany was Prince Rupert, in Wilhelmshaven.

Thanks for the suggestion, and yes, we have been looking into security systems. You can see a little of that on our website, in the Gear on the Boat section. Here is a link: www.svlynx.com/gear_electronics.html

You are quite welcome. Maybe we can meet somewhere when we sail through near where you live and I can share some of the more colorful (very colorful) adventures I had at those schools :)

@SailingSVLynx that would be delightful as I live not too far from London. I can then check the quality of your work in person 👍🏻 As a teenager, I did a lot of sailing with my parents on their boat in Northern France, Belgium and Holland in the '70s and have great memories of doing that. We also have Dutch family in Arnhem so I am very fond of that part of the world

Somewhere in between. :) We'll fair the most exposed areas much more than the less exposed, but we expect it all to take about 3 months (or more).

Thanks for the tip! We will keep that in mind.

:)

Happy Holidays to you too!

There isn't enough room below the stairs to make storage feasible.

Yep, it's better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.

Thanks! Happy Holidays to you as well.

Yes, lots of boats :) There have been over 400 Schionning Kit Catamarans built in the past 35 years. Right now, there are several being built around the world. Another 1520 is being built in Australia by a professional builder, it should be done soon. They have a larger team working on it.

Ik heb daar maar een jaar gewoond en de hele tijd op een Engelssprekende school gezeten. Ik heb wel Duits geleerd, omdat ik daar vijf jaar heb gewoond nadat ik Nederland had verlaten.

​@@SailingSVLynx Jouw Nederlands is best wel goed na al die jaren .... Beste kerstgroeten

And to you as well!

We could, but it adds cost and complexity. We have decided to go with a larger water tank forward that can be filled with fresh water to offset the weight. We already needed freshwater tanks and it adds the weight forward, so it takes less to offset the diesel loss.

Yes, we'll have to test how they work.

The dinghy will have dedicated batteries that are kept there, the new battery is only a backup. Most of the time it will be part of the main battery bank for the boat.

Достаточно сложно удалить защитный слой, когда мы можем легко до него добраться, но после склеивания деталей это будет слишком сложно.

Those aren't holes. What you are seeing are the pillars of epoxy that go through the foam panels. They were created at the factory during the vacuum bagging process. They add compression strength to the panels. When light hits them on one side they act like little fiber optic lines.

Exactly. As a modeler and designer myself, I know how reality is always a bit different than looking at a model. Being hull #1 of a new design meant we would have to deal with a lot of small modifications. But, since we got to be part of the design we get a boat that is very close to what is perfect for our needs and desires, so we're happy to make these tweaks. It's all foam, fiberglass, and epoxy, so we can make changes easily enough.

@ ahh I wasn’t aware - hull #1. Actually that’s pretty exciting to be part of the “design team” in effect.

Thanks! Glad you like it.

If you haven't already, watch On Board Lifestyle (a UA-cam sailing channel). We plan to do our countertops the same method they used, and they are black. They have worked out well for them. Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/aLYTV77q584/v-deo.html

The heater in the washing machine is electrical. If we have warm/hot water from, say, running the diesel, and send that into the washing machine through the cold water intake, the washing machine doesn't have to use as much power to heat cold water to hot.

Most washing machines here (Down Under) have hot & cold intakes. It's cheaper / better to intake hot water, because you can use your solar-heated or gas-heated or electrical-heated off-peak water (which is cheaper than the electrical element in the washing machine). On the boat they might get a surplus of solar and everything is max-charged so they can heat hot water for "free" - for washing and longer showers (luxury!). Schionning have designed and people have built hundreds (thousands?) of wonderful catamarans, but this model is hull #1 of a new design (co-designed with SV Lynx) so those types of minor compromises (walkway space vs storage space) can be adjusted on the fly. The interior fitout is nearly all flexible and adjustable to suit owners / builders.

@@ApprenticeGM Exactly, and we expected to have to make small tweaks in a new design as a model turns into a reality. This isn't anyone's fault, it comes with designing a new boat and then building hull #1. Fortunately, changes are easy to make with foam panels, fiberglass, and epoxy. We're very happy with Schionning's design and support, and with the Solitaire 1520. The next person to purchase this kit can benefit from changes we made, or tweak it to their desired configuration.

Who said Parallel? Series. Each pair of 24v batteries is in series, then the three sets are connected in parallel. This makes each pair of 24v batteries in series increase to 48v, then the three sets in parallel, individually 230a, add up to 690a.

I think it would look very strange :)

Glad it was helpful!

If only there was any room underneath, but the chamfer panel is directly below those steps, and the chamfer panel is only an inch (25mm) thick to the outside of the boat.

I have no idea, they just came that way from the factory. We're doing our best as first time builders, but we think she is coming out well.

We plan to keep them.

Much better to plan for the worst case and not need them. (Within reason)

@@fredbecker607 Yep, and we already purchased them, so in they go! Also, I want to sell the boat in certain countries they require escape hatches. Not that I'm planning on selling the boat, but someone will, some day.

Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!

I certainly hope so! I will report everything to them, besides, they watch my videos :)

Same to you!

The only part not tabbed is accessible at the base. We tab the top part as we put in the cupboards.

@ yeah I get that its still accessible. I just wondered if there was a reason to leave it to later? I do find some epoxy composite build methods I occasionally counter intuitive but usually a very good reason behind it

@@neillsuitordesignjetcraft There is no good reason for having left them for later, but it won't cause us any trouble. On the starboard side, we're going to do them ahead of time. :)

And Merry Christmas to you! I wish I was in France... but I'll get there eventually. :)

(laugh) Yep, that statement works two ways this week!

When we say 'white' we mean some color in that area, but we haven't decided on a specific tint yet. So thanks for the advice, we'll take that into account.

No, it hasn't splashed yet.

@@SailingSVLynx Sincere thanks
