hey nice work ! I'm loving the development of the visual story telling . . this type of video production will really help rase the profile of this amazing project ! I'm looking forward to the next chapter : )
Un trabajo muy meticuloso pero bien echo.un reforzamiento excelente 👏👍 y con un equipo humano muy entregado al proyecto.continuemos.vamos x buen camino
The launch is going to be really interesting to see, how it is going to be performed. Not only how the ship will act, but also how to get the ship down to the water.
As a total layman, are you kindly able to expand on what this means, thanks. Sounds like something relating to movement of water around the structure, and the knock-on effect this will have on controlling the movement of the boat?
I remember they said on their social media that they would pour cement or a metal in the gaps of the I-beam so that the keel-beam would be more hydrodynamic and havier also. Correct me if I am wrong!
@@jonahblondelle3775 I don't follow the project on SoMe, but to anybody who has at any point in time dipped his/her toes in water this must be obvious. Absolutely no floating vessel on this planet has been or is constructed with 'breakpads' as the keel sits now. Ofc they will encapsulate the keel and I find the method the designer has come up with brilliant. If the cement/metal isn't enough it can somewhat easily be replaced with heavier lead within each square section and without removing the keel from the vessel. Cool.
@@MrWokyman these are perpendicular to the direction where the ship moves, so they act like a resistance, and slows the ship down. Just imagine a olympic swimmer with a stiff hat.
@@jonahblondelle3775 i cant imagine how they are giong to do that after fastening it in that position. if they make a mold on that one free side, then they cant fill it fully from the top.
I was wondering that too. Also I think these I beams are more narrow than regular ballast keels from e.g. lead? The more narrow the keel the higher the stress on the bolts when the ship is heavily tilting.
Will the I beams be filled with lead, or is it just the steel as ballast? DId you calculate the stress on the keel bolts when the ship is tilted, since the keel (I beams) is quite narrow. Th emore narrow the keel the higher the stress on the bolts due to the shorter leverage.
I beams in the orientation they have will have very low cross section drag and only mild surface drag. And steel with proper primer and bottom coat paint will last quite long and can also have active or passive galvanic protection to extend that further. Plenty of steel ships out there doing just fine in the salt.
@Interstellar Traveler you mean untreated bare mild steel? sure. Could also be a more corrosion resistant alloy than just mild steel. Or maybe they paint it and haul out for bottom maintenance like any other vessel.
one question i have is are masts connected to the keel through the decks? any modern boats i look at don't, but older examples from the golden age of sail do... will this ship have the masts connected to the keel?
So strange this channel doesn’t grow.. It should have a half million subscribers by now. They would if the videos were more regular. Less than 20k subscribers today, for future reference, on 4-10-22.
Why are you guys putting lots of steel into the ship 😆? The way it is connected will it not act with a massive electric potential over time, that will start to rust quite quickly?(
@@waynecummins9713 tar will not help with iron sickness to the wood. Also the keel needs to be Allot more than what you have. A boat that size should have a 1 piece solid lead ballast keel. Around 40 tons or more slung from the bottom of the wood keel. I have had boats half that size with more ballast keel. Easier to correct it on land. Doing things on the cheap Puts others lives at risk. And the owners cargo.
@@w124mercedes7 from the load of steel received that is just the core of the ballast keel it will have lead in the pockets and rebar welded around it then all encapsulated in concrete. Actually a pretty well thought out idea as it will stiffen the hull nicely. Also remember that they put a rubber membrane between the hull and double I beam. As they said this kind of hull historically wouldn't have had a bilge keel, they are adding it so the ship will sail better & hog/sag less.
As I understand it the balance is supposed to be about 30 tons and the steel is about five or 6 tons, but I guess my Spanish isn't good enough to figure out where the missing 25 tons is coming from or where it's going. Well another shitty video.
You are right. The keel is far too light. I have seen 25ft sail boats with allot more ballast keel. Not to mention it is going to rust very fast unless they use grounded system connecting all of the steel. That boat should have a solid lead keel that goes from stem to stern. I would have used concrete instead of i.beams. not even 1/10 the ballast they need. Im sure they will learn this when launched.
Even bad math using their numbers makes the steel alone closer to 18 tons plus the wood weight. Also the auto captions translate Spanish perfectly well if you turn them on.
@@w124mercedes7 who said the steel is their only ballast? who said they dont have more to add? who said that the steel and wood isnt 35 tons total keel weight? Youre making a fair few assumptions there...
@@w124mercedes7 lead bricks in the pockets with rebar welded over them and it all encapsulated in a structural cement mix. Stiffer stronger and easier than trying to pour a 35-40 ton lead keel.
Yea we all know Spanish do not having subtitles is awesome yea!!! Not happy with this ballast keel the painting was done using HVLP when in fact it should have been applied using an airless system! Also the place must have a humidity of 90% at least! Do the steel should have been heated to 50 degrees to dry it using a gas burner tgen apply a base coat instantly once a section is dried! This keel is going to rot out as soon as it hits the water! I give you 5 years and you will have serious issues with rust and rot in the contact and bolt holes
There’s nothing better for a man than hard work, it gives us a sense of accomplishment.
Those beautiful mangroves providing the food chain with so much.
Such beautiful craftsmanship on a massive scale!
Thanks. So nice to see care , craftsmanship, engineering countervailing greed as motivation.
Congratulations! Did exist finish date!

Amazing build
Well done. Looks strong and well designed. I'm a metal fabricator and I approve.
Outstanding engineering and execution...

Have you considered the hydrodynamic aspect of that vertical crossbracing in the keel-beams?

Bravo cette réalisation est vraiment belle toute mais félicitation et bonne continuation
If I were to get this company to make me a cargo ship just like this one, How much would it cost?
USD1000000
Are the I beams going to have a side covering? Will more steel be layered into the I beams?
Even if they did box it in
It would eventually fill with sea water and rust out from within.
Very bad choice in ballast keel.
I was wondering that too. Also I think these I beams are more narrow than regular ballast keels from e.g. lead? The more narrow the keel the higher the stress on the bolts when the ship is heavily tilting.

Always some sofa engineer commenting
I was asking design questions out of interest. Not criticizing.
I love the visual imagery, the work, the content, visually very appealing! However, subtitles please? For when Carlos speaks
Still don't understand what the keel looks like...still beams exposed in the water underneath?
awesome.
💪💓👌💖supurb work👌💓👍
Wait, those just go in the water, no covering no nada? How's that gonna work with the water flow on a sail boat?
Piss poor design. Not to mention
Doing things as cheap as possible. It will be sea mates with titanic soon.

oh damn yall building a Valdez for Exxon outta wood? hmmm
good job
It had been to long… 🤓✋ keep up the good work.
one question i have is are masts connected to the keel through the decks? any modern boats i look at don't, but older examples from the golden age of sail do... will this ship have the masts connected to the keel?
Older ones idk but modern ones do sometimes
most boats do have the mast to the keel some have tabernacles to hold the mast ,but there is a support prop underneath that extends to the keel
English Translation captions would be helpful
There are translations, you just have to click the subtitle button at bottom of the player
Which way to you all plan to launch the ship?

What is your predicted launch date ?
👍!!!

great project, but boring documentary, Sorry ther ar other ways to show the work.
Maybe next time translate for us gringos when he’s speaking Spanish👍🏻
When are you going to put her(assuming it's gender) in the water? 🤣
Hoo please intro explain is quite poor on understand or lack of skills on speech may be só could had been a lot better explain to make sense
