Your excitement is contagious! Plus your fearlessness if quite something! Not just building you new boat, but refurbishing the sport cruiser at the same time. Matt; most of us are content to sit on the couch and be amazed by your confidence, but you just start doing and getting it done. Jess, you are as fearless as Matt is! You're no wimpy girl, for sure! Hats off to you both! Oh, and Jess; I am once again mesmerized by how beautiful your eyes are!
Yes, easily the best pair of peepers I have ever had the pleasure to see.
Amazing U2 are quite the team thanks for sharing your adventure
WOW, talk about workaholics !!! Two boats at once ! Yer nuts ! :-)
Title of the year.
I use peel ply on every bit of glass, the main reason is to fill all the voids between the fibres. If you only wet out the glass, you need to add an extra coat of resin when it tacks off. You will appreciate the peel ply later on, because leaving it in place protects the surface and keeps it clean until the next step is required. Keeping the surface uncontaminated for weeks or months, while you are walking all over it is one of peel ply's greatest attributes.
I dig the power boat repair videos too.
Total boat to the rescue! Amazing company with very good products.
Total Boat is the best!!
So this is how things went down. Hey Matt says Jess, you know we are spending a lot of time in this shed building our catamaran and I think we need an outdoor activity. A little fresh air and sunshine for our health you know. Jess, says Matt, I’ve been thinking the same thing for a few weeks now and I have an idea. Let’s work outdoors in the sun and rain to fix up an old boat to live on! Exactly what I was thinking says Jess! “Oh no they didn’t” said 160,000 subscribers in unison. Then as usual Jess and Matt proceed to do exactly as they decided to do.
Loving watch this.
I’m binge watching, and I’m at 191. My UA-cam education tells me the peel ply should only be exposed when you’re ready to use that area.
Check up on that please
Off-cuts of foam boards or plywood on the webbing, will aid walking there, also prevent damage to the webs.
The best about doing such a thing is when ever anything breaks you have the skillset to fix it!
Amazing video !
Great job guys, I love the patients and attention to detail.
I sure hope you finish this boat. Most would give up. Your man is a perfectionist. I can see it taking years.......I know yall can do it.
Great video guys thanks.
you guys are fearless. it's mind boggling.
The progress is awesome. Can't wait for the upper segments.....WOW!
You folks looked happy!
The quality of the work done here is probably better than all the pro-builders - that has to push time and cost alle the time....very good indeed - these vids will add some serious $$ to the 2. hand value of this boat.
Wow now I'm rolling along... Lol
Good timing on the quick cut away when he kicked the drill into high gear when stirring the barrier coat. Haha been there, total mess.....
Soooo much energy and possitivity. 👍
I learn so much from your techniques. They will come in handy so thank you for details, details, details !
I am overwhelmed just watching your video. Best wishes and power to you!
I hope that you two don't come away from this build with a twitch because of all of the rolling motions with applying the glass. 😁 Great job. You will have a very sturdy vessel for sure.🏋️😁
Seriously, you guys are freaking awesome two people doing the work of 6 or 8 PLUS working on a second boat at the same time. My hat goes off to you!
it.s grate to see your progress! grate job! ausume team!
The way you two climb up and down in the hull, you'll be able to put "Mountain Goat" as a skill level on your resume. And, don't look too close, but I think there's a boat growing in the shed! Looking great.
Always enjoy watching you two work together!
Professional fiberglass glassers!
Nice cockpit
Your boat is coming along exceptionally well your building her like a brick shithouse LOL she's not going to give you any troubles I don't even worry about the weight dependability is everything you can take this girl in any seastate anything anywhere and not worry about structure keep up the work guys👍
Good progress
Nice to see how well this catamaran is being built. This is not a French plywood boat, the love of termites and dry rot.
Hmm. French - Amel...
@@JCrook1028 built in Vietnam and the usa with core cell. not plywood. French designer maybe.
Your photography/filmwork is the most professional and creative of any I've seen on You Tube. And I am picky.
*Just a small but important warning from a Dutch boat builder*
If you use more catalyst it may dry faster, but the end result will be much more fragile You don't want that on a moving boat
We never go over the recommend 2% catalyst, and that's only when temperatures fall close to the minimum allowed for curing. Most of the time we stay in the 1.25-1.5%.
@@MJSailing Then it will be alright ,,, al the best from the Netherlands
Nice to see the shape of the boat begining to appear. Up until now I have been completely at a loss as to how it will be when completed. But now, I am just starting to see how it will fit together. I eagerly await further progress. Best wishes from sunny Spain.
You are working very well together.
Messy Jessi, with paint and a dead bird stuck in your hair! That was funny AF. You're doing a great job with the videos and really are a fantastic story teller.
Each step is interesting and I enjoy as you two explain what we're looking at and you imagining how that space will feel in the final build. You do such a good job with camera placement and talking over to it (us) for reactions, explanations, exhaustion, excitement. It really draws us into your space. You have really become premiere boat builders, so many lessons learned, techniques, and and such craftsmanship! So proud.
Really? Two simultaneous projects? Building a catamaran isn't enough? You two are crazy. But it just occurred to me as you told us you bought this second boat. With more than one boat, don't you now own a fleet? What??? Mind blown!
I was thinking forward into the future as people come aboard the cat for the first time, become impressed, ask where you got it, you tell them you BUILT IT, and the eye popping reaction every time! That's never going to get old!
Jessica was the MVP of this vid. wow it is shaping up nicely
Looking very good, you are doing a great job. Some of the shots give a very clear view of the size of the hulls.
Can’t believe y’all are building a catamaran!!
What was your careers before sailing?
Wow the boat is really taking shape and we can appreciate it’s layout and what is will look like. But still lots of coving to do. I know you have tried piping the thickened resin and found filling the piping bag awkward. I suggest finding some plastic zip top bags such as sandwich bags to try. Open a bag and push it into a mixing cup folding the zip top over the top edge, pour in the resin and hardener and mix it and thicken as normal. Once done zip the bag closed squeezing out excessive air then when ready snip a corner off of the bag to give the right bead size and pipe away. And no mixing pots to clean as you prepare each batch of thickened resin.
Todays video really gives us an idea of just how large this vessel will be. I think you guys are going to love the dance floor :-)
I am still in awe over all the work you two are doing, and I have renovated a house. Your progress is so exciting. Heidi
Well done ! with these two cabin entrances, we begin to see better the volume that there will be on the deck ... !! done perfectly in the rules of gluing, it should all hold ... !! sacred team that you both make, great workers to achieve this magnificent project ... each episode is interesting and super well edited in video and music ... it's a pleasure to watch you, from France ... !! Vincent
Hard work doesn’t scare either of you!!! Cheers
Will you guys be done in time to catch up to Calico Skies in the pacific? I believe the challenge was laid down when they said they beat you across the Atlantic by 8 days. How can you let that stand? 🤣
Since we'll be heading east toward the Med after we splash, we'll just go ahead and give them the win, lol.
Cheers
Looking Great 👍
Still looking for fuel and water tanks.
Gotta be coming soon.....
Carry on crew
glad you are showing working on your house boat, its part of your life and build
We are in awe as well, not just anyone could take on a build of this type. Good job guys sunny horizons coming up hang in there
I would suggest very few could take on a project of this scale and have it end successfully. Matt along with his project "buddy" Jess will get er done. Matt's mad skills are impressive but Jessica's attention to detail and her deep knowledge of fiberglass work takes a back seat to no one. Incredible team when placed together can't wait to see her splashed a year or two down the road?
My granny said a decent young lady never forgets her gloves
Hello!... 😀 You are making a great job! ⛵💪💪😀 Thank you for sharing your progress.
What a huge project. You guys rock. Two boats at the same time.
It's interesting to watch!!
Looking great guys, keep steaming ahead🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Wow. Getting there
I'm loving it. Don't know how you have time for the video work as well. Great to see how the boat comes together before our eyes.
you guys are doing a fantastic job!
Вы просто молодцы
Looking good guys. Love OsoYolo from Antigua Guatemala.
God bless you guys.
Seeing number six bulkhead go in was exciting, that reinforcing will now stop bullets! The top of each side of this bulkhead is way above Matt's head, it should be very comfortable even in the tropics. Good work!
This is such an accomplishment. Your reward is going to be amazing.
You’ve got your hands full with two boats 🚤
Good that you guys reinforced the bulkhead.s but shouldn’t the factory have done that?
Brilliant!!!
I'm so excited I can't wait till it's done.
The further along ye get with your build the more I realize just how big a project ye have, What is the scariest part of the build for ye and have ye reached it yet ? Ye are an Inspiration ... Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
It’s starting to look more like a catamaran interior every day. By the end of this journey you could write a book on what it took to get the job done from the dream through to the day you put it into the water. You could definitely benefit from having a small 12-18” mini set of steps that fit down along the sloped side into the hull cavity. Eventually you won’t need it, but that could be several months down the road and it might save you a lot of effort and possible damage to the vertical hull support material. It’s nice to see you have your older water-home so close to your workspace. just keep on keeping on….
This waiting for an entire week to see what’s happening is becoming full of surprises
I've watched this channel for years and am really enjoying the build. However, I have one question. Why don't you put a coat of epoxy on the surface of the hull before layering the glass? I watch a lot of boat building shows and even the pro builders coat the surface with epoxy before laying down glass. It makes it a lot easier to get adherence because you aren't pushing the epoxy through the fiberglass fabric to get it to cover the surface. It would certainly make your life easier.
I may have stopped showing every step of every stage, since a lot of what we're doing now is repeat, but there should be a few seconds shown in each of our glassing clips where we DO put down a layer of resin on our surface before layering any glass on top. 🙂
Good comment 👍🏼
If this is like a home build, once the frame is complete you’ve got 10% done. I can’t even imagine the finish work yet to come. You’re extremely dedicated!
Outstanding workmanship by both of you..
Nicely done!
So awesome what you guys are doing. Looks very fun!
Be sure you wash the hull on the inside when you are done to get all that dust off the boat or ot will one day clog your bilge pumps.
duh... They better be doing a vacuuming before glassing......
@@JCrook1028 vacuum does not cut it. you need to wash it. I do this for a living, are you?
@@hanssolo4ever They've shown they wipe down with Styrene (or is it Acetone?) before laying down new glass. So yes, they are cleaning as they go and not letting the dust pile up as you're implying.
Very Beautiful👍👍
Awesome work guys 👌
You guys are making amazing progress!!!
Thank you so much!!
You guys sort of remind me of when my wife and I worked together renovating our century home years ago. I said if your relationship could survive this type of project we were good for the rest of our life. I said I would never do it again but you are at it for a second time!
The scale really showed in this video, esp when she was standing down in the haul moving that huge piece.
Another great milestone reached, and it's taking shape well. Totally enjoy seeing more progress, keeps me excited for the next episode 😀
Great job guys
Gosh that's a big boat. Excited does not cover the subject.
I know I’ve said this before but i extremely enjoy watching nearly every video on the making of your yacht . Has the manufactures and designers commented on your methods also have given you more positive advice as you go along? Thanks folks for another fascinating video. Regards
Phil
Not the musician??! Hi Phil. My Dad was a Hughie Lewis, not THE Hughie Lewis 😁.
@@paullewis6612 I wish. I kill people with my voice. Lol
Nice work people. Good to see you’re not paying an excessive amount of final finish attention to pieces you’re never going to see. The amount of times I’ve wasted precious time on making something look good that I’ll never see is startling!.
Seeing isn't the only reason for a smooth surface. Anywhere you're gonna be reaching in and possible touching the hull rates the same treatment. Saves those cuts and scrapes from rough glass later on. Like squeezing in that engine bay doing work, I'd for sure have peel ply'd that entire area.
We'll still be sanding that area, possibly using a bit of faring - but it won't be to the extent of our fully finished surfaces. 🙂
Great progress as usual!
Great Job!!! Thank You…. :-)
Life on the ickky stickky! Make haste slowly. Great job.
Have you ever tried using a large serving spoon to make your fillets? I don't know if the squeegee method works best for you or not, but I have used that with fiberglass before and it is fast, and smooth with a great radius for adding in more glass to tab in without air pockets. You are making great progress, and this is fun to watch. THANKS
you both look like in mission impossible trying avoid the laser beam 🤣
9:15 Moving the bulkhead underneath of the hull and then back on top reminded me of some random challenge off of survivor for some reason? Can't wait to see the top deck mated to the hull. I know I'm missing several months of work but it's going to be cool when it happens.
Totalboat or somebody doesn't have a polyester/vinylester product similar to thixo that you could use for all these fillets? It's painful. We use all epoxy, and typically aren't trying to lay up over it the same day, but hate the mixing more than anything! Using a product with a mixing tip just gets you exactly what you need in the right place, already thickened, and perfect every time. It's a bit more expensive than epoxy and filler, but totally worth it!
quel architecte votre catamaran et longueur , bravo ...
I wish I could come and help. You are doing an awesome job, so neat!! Love your work!
Looks like you need another project to keep you busy in your off time. Maybe build a dinghy from scratch? Ha ha, stay healthy and we'll see you next week.
