We can feel the cold weather coming on here in Maryland, so it's a rush to get a lot of projects in ambient air spaces completed as quick as we can.
Matt continues work on our forward lockers, getting some bilge paint in the spaces and turning them into a clean white color. One of his jobs, after painting half of the center locker, is to make a table where our windlass will sit, and reinforce it so that it can handle all the anchor chain coming in.
Inside the boat, we're getting further and further along with our finish work, actually applying primer to two spaces this week. It seems like no two areas are in sync with each other, so while one section is getting its last coat of high build, our master head is getting its very first coat!
Pretty soon we hope to have all the areas with their final coats of Awl Quick on, and almost ready for paint. Little by little, there is progress to be had!
We hope you enjoy!

Great job, MJ Sailing! I've been following your journey since the beginning, and it's amazing to see how far you've come. The prep work may seem endless, but it's all worth it in the end. Your dedication and skills shine through in every video. Keep pushing through, and before you know it, your boat will be in the water. Can't wait to see the finished result! Hang in there, and thank you for sharing your progress with all of us.
...its just so cool to watch you build your home on water.... perfection takes time....well done
i have watching the build of the boat from the beginning. and still watching
We watch because we like you guys. Keep it up!!!
It really transforms the look when it's all one color
Fantastic work as always, much love from The UK.
Thank you so much!
i have watching your videos since you took the first piece off the truck. U two are doing an amazi g job ,cant wait too see your boat in the water
You may think that a video of sanding, fairing, painting, sanding, etc is boring..it is not. You've developed skil and tecniques that arre obvious to others. Every time i try to spray paint, i fail with runs. You make it look so easy.
Notice you are getting a lot of comments by automotive body/paint guys...we get it..I am 65 and have about sanded my fingerprints off over the years. Those who wonder why paint and body at a custom shop is so expensive...you are looking at the answer here on this channel. This is a huge undertaking, keep after it, you will get there. Labor intensive is the understatement of the year. Use the knee pads, stretch often. ya want your body to live through this project.
I did paint and body on show cars for 30 years, at times the prep seems never ending, but in the end, it’s worth the effort to do it right. You’re doing a great job, and you’ve definitely developed skills in the process. Just keep going, you’ll get it done.
Me to, Things have changed a little bit but still the same old prep. Patience is a good thing for prepping something like this, especially a project this big! Impressive for sure.
Looking Good I learn something every time thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing some hacks:
Foil as a tray liner for painting, priming, glassing.
Previously demonstrating the difference between different types or brands of filler or primer.
Same for tools, dust extraction, heating. Sanding sponges for flat or curved surfaces. Different types of sanders, grit levels, etc.
Spray painting, can painting, gelcoat. Different colors of paint to show repeated areas covered, change the light color or mood. Show state of progress.
Actual vs estimate for matetial/time. Lots and lots of repetitive time consuming tasks.
Same for all the ppe - masks, gloves, fans, coveralls, mask filters.
Hey Matt, welcome back, glad your doing better! Those surfaces are beginning to look really smooth on the videos, but it's not like being there with a pair of eyes and looking at them with all the different light angles.
I can't imagine the size of this undertaking. I look forward to seeing your progress, no matter what it is. I have a 12 foot scow sitting in my living room. I've had to leave off work on it for a couple of years because of my back. I'm in the finishing stages of it. I have thoroughly learned to hate sanding so I can sympathize with you. Hang in there, and thanks for allowing us to follow your progress.
Thank you so much for following along! When primer goes on an already primed surface it's like "Eh, I've already seen this". But when it goes on a new surface....🤩🤩🤩
Steady progress now, the improved techniques developed through experience combined with carefully selected materials, topped off with regular mentions of Total Boat, are contributing to a finish you'll be proud of. I'm sure this interior will still be looking wonderful for decades to come, shining like a well crafted gem.
I have left this comment a few times I know you get advice all the time just like auto body work you have to block sand if you use a rotary sander you will put more dips and valleys than you are sanding out they sell electric ones but hand blocks are more effective. The right TOOL FOR THE JOB . Don’t take my word for it ask the professionals
You’re gonna be so stoked looking at your smooth walls as the blender blends a second round of sundowners somewhere in French Polynesia. :)
Great video
Yes, it may be some more fairing and primering. But we can all see the progress you guys are making every week. I personally can't wait for the building a catamaran in 10 minutes video at the end. (Or maybe 20 minutes, for all the fairing) 😉
It really gives us an idea of what is involved much more than I imagined
We were told by Seawind that we've sold a lot of boats for them to people that had planned to build one themselves
The anchor capstan support was awesome. The sanding and fairing looks unbelievable, you both should make a career of finishing interior's? Wondering, how many labor hours does the builder consider necessary on finishing the interior paint?
Typically it's in the 5 digits for hours fairing the interior of these types of boats. Crazy amount of time, and If I had truly know, we would have added liners instead
She's looking great. Keep up the courage.
Looks like that sprayer is working a little better for you. I'm a perfectionist, so I blew my friend's mind recently with this quote. Sometimes a job done is better than a job done right!
We're just going for a job 'good enough '. 🤣
Great video you two. More and more areas are becoming a beautiful shade of Primer.
Looking really good, hope it’s not too cold for you but having Anker on side you’ll be lovely and Toasty.
All the Best from the far Southwest.
Thanks for the kind words
I would add a drain in that locker also so you can wash it out.
I am very impressed with your dedication to quality. I never thought about how much work it took to get a smooth quality finish.
I am sorry for all the hard work you have to do, but I am grateful for you sharing the process. 😊
I do like spray painting.
Looks like Matt's getting more comfortable with the sprayer. From here, his sweeps and stops look more fluid. Keep up the good work.
I'll never be a dancer, but my moves are getting a bit better
I never gave a thought to how these surface finishes were achieved, if it was my boat I would live with a few low spots, there’s this thing called art you can put on the walls that would hide most blemishes. Well done for seeing it through.
There will definitely be some strategically placed art, haha.
_AWESOME PROGRESS AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL!_
Thank you so much!!
This was a good way to show us how much work goes into the fairing. Of course, to us on our screens the surfaces look great when you show them primed. We can't really see how far from flat the surfaces are. So then showing us the work after the spray paint shows WHY you have to do yet another primer coat.
That shower is going to be GREAT! I think it might be larger than any shower in our home.
When are you going to be bonding the cabin top?
Thanks again for another video. They're something I look forward to every Saturday!
so tedious I could not do that.....Good on you guys
Matt, since there has to be a metal pipe for pass thru of chain, why not make it a brace or support as well vs it simply hanging off bulkhead or shelf ? I'm picturing a lowercase "y" shape like onscreen in this comment as the brace against corner where bulkhead meets floor at bottom and top back edge of shelf near windlass. The shorter left diagonal side of y would have the open leg of pipe as pass thru to locker just slightly above max height of piled chain plus a few links for weight to draw it down as it curves and lays out.
BTW, are you putting in a sacrificial surface panel or metal sheet for chain to damage vs the lockers floor structure ? Some options I've seen use milk crates or plastic/rubber tubs from a farm supply store so they can also capture mud for easier removal and cleaning when needed.
I still keep seeing progress made just keep pushing ahead and every week you are closer to your goal.
Just sand and fair, i have your back, in my armchair 😉
Like building a new house. If you dont get the structural components right, the finish is only covering future issues. Keep it up. I have watched every video since the shipping containers arrived. Amazing how far you have come.
Great grit work, but very required for a good finish. Following your hard work with great respect. Bear 🐻
Matt & Jess - I love to see the progress, week by week even if its just sanding and fairing. Keep up the great work!
Please forgive me if the following are stupid questions. I'm not a sailor. And I know it's a ways off, but I'll forget the questions if I wait until you finish the boat.
How will you (or how does anyone) test the waterproof-ness of the hull of a new boat before you put it in the water? The fact that the hull was put together from pieces would make me nervous about whether I bonded everything correctly and whether there were any holes, gaps, or weak spots where water could intrude.
If there were any holes (I'm not saying there are any in yours), I would want to find that out on land to avoid having the boat start to leak and sink as soon as it hits the water. In other words, what goes into inspecting and testing a new boat to make sure it's seaworthy? How long is that process? Who does it? Is it required by law? How hard is it to pass?
Did you guys explore buying spray putty and a putty gun, the endless priming/filling/sanding repeat repeat is long winded way to a flawless finish, also you're going to find out if the filler patches and primer don't sand exactly the same you'll just create more low spots in the softer less resistant product which ever one it is.
I've never heard of a spray putty and gun. I'll have to look into this.
@@MJSailing Talk to a panel beater, spray putty is just higher solids primer surfacer, the gun is just a spray gun with a bigger needle and tip cos the shits thicker, you know right.
In my 25+ years of boat manufacturing, I am viewing your work through the lens of efficiency. We used a tooling dye to on flat surfaces to ensure that orange peel was eliminated. And as stated elsewhere in one of my comments, you really need to look into getting an air file.
We've used the dykem blue mixed with alcohol and acetone, but it seems to stain the fairing and requires a lot of material removal before it disappears.
We also have an air file, but haven't bought a regulator to control the speed.... It's currently way too much to comfortably use.
At ~10:20 "...that little leg there...", is actually called a 'knee'.
Also called a gusset.
❤
wow! you did a lot these days... it's getting closer to finishing the sanding part, hehe
A little bit closer each week! 😍. Just be thankful you won't have to deal with this in the same degree, haha.
😅@@MJSailing
You should get together with Sailing SV Lynx to compare boats, construction techniques, etc. Maybe help out on each other's projects.
If you guys would get a pro in there to teach you how to properly fair you would save sooo much time. For instance the first rule of fairing is never sand the long way of your sanding block because it will cause a low indent. When you did the corners you were sanding the long way creating your indents in the corner.
So how would you sand a rounded inside corner?
@@MJSailing You could round the small end of a long block, or if you get a blocking kit there are long round blocks of different diameters made just for that
Use the 3m powered ink guide coat. My preference anyway
We used durabond brand of dry powder... Is that similar? The issue we have with that is that the black powder left in the lows spots gets mixed when applying the next layer and then I get confused because the new fairing looks like it's a low spot.
@@MJSailing I’m not sure I’m following exactly what problem you are having, but I usually get the fairing compound close by eye, then whatever high build primer, then start using guide coat to see any low spots, pinholes, etc. It’s worked great for me using black on white surface.
Instead of fairing the bottom (and sides) of drawers and small storage areas, why do you not cover it with a laminate? Fairing is so much work. Like those storage areas behind the seats that your dad worked on. Glue a nice and thin laminate!
The edges have a radius that a laminate wouldn't form to. You'd be able to do the flats, but each corner radius would force the laminate to end 3/4" away for the actual edge and you'd have a very uneven edge
Well done. Big project requires big vision patience and perseverance. I do up small sailboats, so I admire what you do. I’m no stranger to big projects either. You’ve got the bit between the teeth by the looks of it.
Thank you very much!
👍
Have you tried an air file? It is the long block equivalent of a DA sander.
do a lot of fairing sanding and painting underway, once the boat is finished enough to sail
🤣 We learned from our last build that if a project doesn't get completed before splashing, it won't get completed until the boat is for sale.
@@MJSailing just try it in the water near the build tent for a shake down cruise to inspire you
@@MJSailing Brugh MJ Sanding fairing then sailing Dude
If you cannot see that you have high or low spots without sanding and having it change color, seems like that means it is "good enough". If you cannot see them with the primer coat, would you see them with the finish coat? If not, why spend the time sanding them if they are not perceptible to the naked eye?
You clearly do not understand or gone through the process of how to get a truly "flat" surface. It takes multiple guide coats, high build primer coats & LOTS of sanding. Probably 90% of the materials end up on the floor when all said & done. Every time you think it's flat, wipe the surfaces down with wax & grease remover & shine a light on it before it dries. Imperfections become obvious. Once a final shiny finish is applied any imperfections will stand out like tits on a boar when the light hits it. The final result is ALL in the quality of the prep work. They are doing it right.
It won’t be long before you run out of areas to paint and then do your final gelcoat then what will you do without dust to clean up every day?
Not sure if you guys watch the Life on the Hulls channel. He's building a catamaran also, you guys are at similar stages. He might be a little ahead but not much, between the two of your channels I get my cat building fix. 😂 and with sailing Yaba I get my wood boat fix. Yall are all some hard working badass's.
Yes, we're very familiar with Ross!! Couldn't imagine doing it 100% on my own, what a huge undertaking!
I too watch both of these channels, have since the beginning, and if you watch the epitome of wooden boat build watch the Sampson Boat Co and the reconstruction of a classic and famous English yacht built in 1910.
Looks like Dalmatian, but sometimes more giraffe.
YES!!! THAT'S what I was trying to think of!!
Are you going to add a gauge to the water tanks so you know how much water is in them? Or is it just going to check it so often?
I presume that (your natural OCD aside😉) one of your motivators is trying to make the interior as much like a production boat as possible, to raise the boat's resale value. What little bit you loose by 'home building' will be more than offset by this comprehensive build diary, and your respective investments in the task. Onwards and upwards.
Have you tried something like the Contour Sanding Grips from Lee Valley Tools for the corners? I think they might dig in less on the flat surfaces and have less rework.
We have foam pads in all kinds of shapes. I'm guessing this is similar to what you're describing
Making progress for sure, even though it must be frustrating at times. Re the base for the windlass, would it strengthen the platform if you glassed in a steel plate? Or would that be overkill?
It would strengthen it for sure.... The factory puts a steel pipe in theirs. But we think this will be more than strong enough as is. I guess we'll find out :)
That boat is going to weigh an extra 300 lbs (if not more) from all that fairing compound.
Not really. The fairing weights 5lbs a gallon, and with the amount used, and an estimate of amount that stays in the boat vs sanded off, it will be about 100lbs
Do the water tanks require a vent in order to allow easy flow?
Yes too much Sanding but it takes time only view once a month th now
Would you do this again? Do you think has been cheaper than just buying a boat new? Followed you guys years on Element!
Curious why you don't use flowcoat Gel coat in the lockers instead of paint?
Weight. The paint is quite a bit lower weight than gelcoat.
Links please to these maxcruise boats actually sailing, thanks in advance. How many of these boats are out there on the water?
Have you guys tried a larger nozzle on the paint gun? Seems like very little is coming out could probably up .50-1.00 in size
I think you're right. This gun mostly shoots paint and we didn't have another tip to use with the high build.
Bigger tips should be readily available from your coatings supplier.
What your not fairing the lockers…… going to look homebuilt.
How many hours do you have on this build?
Too big of a project for one couple to maintain my interest. You need a crew, look at Tally Ho. I’m not being rude, I only look in every other month. Amazing work and project!
But our goal is to build a boat ourselves, not have a crew build a boat for us. It may not be what UA-cam wants, but we're doing this for us.
❤️🇵🇸✌️
😨
Why don't you use pencil, like car repair guys use, instead of spray paint?
I am perfectly happy to watch you sand, spray, and heck, even watch the paint dry, but I can't stand the inane music that youtubers seem to feel they must play. I would rather hear the tools run, and two of you talk about what you are doing and why. The music is unnecessary and distracting. It isn't the choice of music, it is any music. I have not missed an episode when you are actually working on the boat. I couldn't care less about the boat show stuff, but I get that you need a break from the constant sanding and dust. Your channel is diving far deeper into how a boat is actually then most others do and I, leastways, love the fine minutiae of what it really takes to accomplish it. It is such a huge project that you are sweating through and is far more interesting than watching some of the other sailing channels channels going on nature hikes and trips to different places while sailing around on somebady elses boat and only making occasional visits to the factory that builds their new boat for them. You have much more than cash wrapped up in your build and for that you deserve to feel even more proud of what you are accomplishing. I wish that I had it in me to undertake such a massive project. Oh and before I forget, could you speak to why you have chosen a particular product or process . You know, why you feel at least for your boat, why a particular product or fitting works better than some other choice. Sorry if this was too long winded. I mean no offense.
👍
