I started the journey with Peter when he first was with Margarida, and I think another crew member or two. Soon it was Peter and Margarida and that is when I was invited to write a song for them. A short time later Peter premiered my song on episode 265. Really was kind of cool to have my song Sailing to Freedom out there. Later Peter used it for an intro for a while. I am pulling for your great adventure with this awesome Cat. Best of fortune for you. Burlington Bill busking on the road and on You-Tube.
Plucky there is no other one like you that I have ever crossed paths with. You have gone through so much and still can keep positive.well done mate. To date the Italian girls episodes were such fun. Will be sending a few bucks and may the project succeed. Ps the weight on the roof is a stress point. Watch for cracks in future. Cheers
Ahoy Plukky!🏴☠🔱🦈Watching you from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Giving you the big thumbs up 👍and a comment on every vid. Doing what I can Plukky, all the best mate!
Hey Peter, You know I’ve followed you since the beginning. You’re doing a great job. I just donated a bit of money but you don’t need to weld my name to your boat. Take care. Frank Dority.
Well done plucky. One of your best yet. Keep on with the honesty and you will attract the right people to help you get this finished. Much love my man ❤
This is really taking shape Peter. Love your work mate. If even half your subscribers donated just $2, yes $2, that would near get you to that minimum point. So come on peoples lets give peter a hand. $2 is nothing and we get our own personal guide around the world adventures.
Plukky, I am watching this build and Leo with his restoration of Tally Ho and it couldn't be more different in the way boats are built it's like chalk and cheese. An aluminium boat and a wooden boat. The time it takes to make this compared to a wooden bout is also totally different. I am loving this series and look forward to seeing it on the water. I also love how precise these guys are compared to other boat builders.... Cheers from Melb.
I don't think it will take much longer to get to lock up stage Peter .a lot of people will never see their dreams realised Peter but I think you have worked super hard to get it all together for this to happen. Well done mate 👏👍.
Good to see it progressing so well and even better to see you go for a second round of funding …. I’ll tip something in within the week and please no need to write my name anywhere, seeing you sailing safely again in a catamaran is enough for me. :o))

Amazing progress! Made another donation to help assist with the next phase as you work to procure rigging. Looking forward to watching you sail this vessel around the world, accomplishing the challenge of doing so without fossil fuel. I do think you should have a pineapple design welded somewhere though. ;) Best...
Spent 3 weeks in Hanoi in the 1990's. Vietnamese can make anything out of nothing, don't waste anything, amazing people. Not surprised to see them building high quality world class stuff in the modern age.
keep up the hard work Plukky you are a great example of how hard work will make a dream come true. It takes courage to commit to a project of this size it is inspiring to watch.
I love the 'it won't be pretty, but it will sail' approach. Looks sick regardless. You're a talented dude, so i feel like you can step up the content a bit too :)
I gave, what I could this month - How much do you need to finis h the boat properly? It might motivate everyone to support … I think we want you the get this awesome boat up and running in the coolest way possible
I still get chills thinking about the times your boat was struck. I was working on a pair of engines on a Bertram in a marina, and a violent storm rolled through. I stopped working and watched it from inside the salon (engines were as you know connected to the bonding system⚡).The boat in the next slip was struck and shattered all the fiberglass antennae into shards that were everywhere, even 100' down the dock. They looked like sad palm trees. 😆
Hey, Make sure my name is Pretty Big. Even I'd it's above your head at the helm. Ooh, that sounded like something you would say! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just tilt your head back and Melinda is right there!!! ❤❤❤❤
It’s Looking fantastic Plucky 👍⛵️ if you don’t have a name for your catamaran, ⛵️ Plucky should be some where on it .⛵️ plucky world 🌍 adventures. 🤷♂️😜🙈👍
OK I was very impressed with the laser baseline set, dead on stern to bow centered... So let's skip that lotto ticket or lata drink and chip in a few beans ..
Mate, I donated 450 AUD. Please give me more detail on how and where our names will be welded and displayed. Have loved watching your video for a while now and enjoy them very much.
Great video Peter and great persistence on your part to keep the project moving forward, despite the various challenges along the way. I hope the second round of funding is as prosperous as the first. Good luck.
The "we" was made famous by Charles Lindberg. Even titled one of his books that. He was answering questions after flying the Atlantic with "then we did this and then we did that" There were questions/ Making real progress. Can't wait to see the look on Parleys face when you sister up with his cat.
Understand. A lot spots you can save a lot of money. Build the batteries from cells yourself, thats not rocket science and much cheaper, navigation via OPen CPN and isailor/orca navigation via tablet, autopilot computer yachtDevices, fixed solar panels instead of semiflexibel => just seeing the roof video ther are a lot of even areas you cannot or can spare to walk on and with simple L or U brackets can mount fixed panels. Sponsor means they give you the equipement for free like raymarine or you get discount?
Must be getting close to having a hopeful splash date, unless you’ll wait for the rig to be finished in that factory or you have a secret location that’s still undisclosed. So much more to come ………😊
Why not put a wing in front of the your boat It would have to be-able to rise up and down below the water line it would use the ocean currents to move you along
These videos are going to sell a hundred catamarans for these guys . If they were smart they would fit out the interior for you for whatever you can afford just for the marketing to showcase their work . After watching a Video on a new Leopard t with something like 17 leaks , heating install that I as a heating tradesman consider dangerous - if it leaks water it leaks fumes . They ended up on the hard and having to separate the mast in the middle for repairs . The boat was so new it was still under warrantee - and they gave the owner a hard time !! leopard should have been ashamed of themselves . I alway knew a Lagoon was a budget boat not built well , but the Leopard seems to be too . Imagine spending north of a million on a boat and they deliver it will 17 leaks and it needs to go on the hard for major repairs before it is a year old .
Par for the course for those bad cheaply made cats...worst and cheapest materials and bad construction....what do you expect.... everybody should do research into what goes into making a boat
"Building the ultimate performance catamaran" it's a bit hard to call it the ultimate performance cat when there's never been one built, it might be a big slow boat. Although highly unlikely to be slow, it's a bit rich to call it the ultimate performance cat when this is the first boat to be built
I didnt know my hand was on the bible....it will be a good boat though.... maybe you should look at other youtuber headlines...most bare no resemblance to their content
How about the good old fashioned, “get a job” and pay for it yourself since you will be the main beneficiary ? Start relying on yourself for change and not what you can bilk unsuspecting viewers.
The world is full of haters. I hope you enjoy the attention this gets because this is the only reward you will get. Plukky's band will reap the rewards of years of edifying and entertaining videos.
Hey mate whats your problem ?? @vyneleshmynle How about a good old fashioned "if you cant say something nice to someone dont say anything " what a rude and nasty unnecessary comment

Thinking back on all the ladies you had on long reef add freedom. What a cast of characters. 😍♥️
Looks to be moving along. Good to see you are getting closer.
Gonna miss the constant chase for water. can't wait for the chase for Pineapples.
I wish I could contribute more but all I'm able to do at the moment is like and comment 🤗💞
You've accomplished a lot in the last year Peter! Can't wait to see it finished!
Hey Peter,
You know I’ve followed you since the beginning. You’re doing a great job. I just donated a bit of money but you don’t need to weld my name to your boat. Take care. Frank Dority.
Hey Frank. I put your name up on the boat my friend Top stuff
Defiantly an amazing journey you're only part way through. LETS GO! Very cool man. 🇦🇺❤
Well done plucky. One of your best yet. Keep on with the honesty and you will attract the right people to help you get this finished. Much love my man ❤
Great to see the progress👍❤️🙏
Scary, that just could be the only truly symetrical boat afloat !
250 to 275k is my estimation

It won't be pretty at the end but bare minimum is $60K USD , really it's like 150K but who needs a bed and a toilet and a sink
I want one yesterday!!!!!

BIG letters Plukky, away from where the lighting hits please. Good luck with the rest of the campaign.
Not long no rooter 😎
Love the video's great channel just wish video's were longer
Funds are a bit tight mate, so 100 oz is about all I can afford. Good luck pal, go for it!
Woohoo my friend thank you
Plukky we all know who is going to be taking a sleep at lunchtime after holding the camera all morning.
Damn straight. The heat and humidity is debilitating
I join the kick starter crew and won’t to see this challenge happen only small donations but I’m hopeful it’ll go along way
Thanks my friend... your first donation is enough.....onwards....
Might want to tell these guys when you use a tape measure it has to be pulled tight !
Just remember to make enough room for those pineapples lol
Hey plukky top stuff , stormer here 😁 Looking good there my friend.. What country does the mast and boom have to come from , Or is it made in Vietnam?
SOUTH AFRICA
Let's watch this again!! To help Plukky!! Watch it several times! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸🇦🇺⛵️👣🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🌻😊
Hey, Make sure my name is Pretty Big. Even I'd it's above your head at the helm. Ooh, that sounded like something you would say! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just tilt your head back and Melinda is right there!!! ❤❤❤❤
The only way i can help is by letting the ads run, which I do quite frequently
Good enough
Classic line . .. "If it falls, I'm an egg sandwich"
Do they do full welds on all the seams Petey or is it just tacked everywhere?
Full...temporary to stitch it together... otherwise it will leak.like a sieve
Goodonya Plukky 🤙🤙keep it going ⚡️⚡️🐉 🧿🌺🐝🐸🇦🇺
I’d love to help your GFM but shit keeps breaking on my boat Plucky. Bloody expensive. If I come across a bag of money I’ll be sure to contribute
Yeah baby!!!!!
let's get this cat on the water!! As promised Plukky i chipped in another $500.😃
Woohoo top stuff Mark
I recon that buys 3 days cruising
Thats a Mono Hull , Hope they are ok in Australia
It’s Looking fantastic Plucky 👍⛵️ if you don’t have a name for your catamaran, ⛵️ Plucky should be some where on it .⛵️ plucky world 🌍 adventures. 🤷♂️😜🙈👍
OK I was very impressed with the laser baseline set, dead on stern to bow centered... So let's skip that lotto ticket or lata drink and chip in a few beans ..
Mate, I donated 450 AUD. Please give me more detail on how and where our names will be welded and displayed. Have loved watching your video for a while now and enjoy them very much.
All will be revealed in good time mate.
Nice one
On the columns out back. In episode 28 and 29 i show the spots. Thanks for the donation top stuff my friend, that's great work
But i don't recall seeing your name on the list...send me an email to peter@elcanoworldchallenge.org so i can double check
Yay, donor #21... We are on our way.
Yay indeed. I drew your name up last week . Thank you
What welding process you employ in welding aluminum plate 9mm or less thickness? Sir?
H😍
nuthin but quality
Great video Peter and great persistence on your part to keep the project moving forward, despite the various challenges along the way. I hope the second round of funding is as prosperous as the first. Good luck.
Are you planning on insulating the hulls?
Yes
The "we" was made famous by Charles Lindberg. Even titled one of his books that. He was answering questions after flying the Atlantic with "then we did this and then we did that" There were questions/ Making real progress. Can't wait to see the look on Parleys face when you sister up with his cat.
He will have bought his own performance cat by then i guess
@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM Much like taking years to "train" your old lady Hes in for the long haul.
How much do you expect the complete ship to weigh? Lightship (tanks empty no stores)
7800
If it's just the shell does that mean no sound insulation?
Silly question but are the team only tack welding the whole boat or will they be doing a bead weld on all of it as well?
Continual welds on all... they are dying some of that now in fact
Will your daggerboards be aluminum also?
Yes. Pay attention
Mate...put a higher go fund me amount....and get it closer to want you want..ya never know...😊..Your actually sailing vids are worth it...
You can put in as much as you want mate.
👍
Finish it in Vietnam, everything else will be much more exoensive then there.
If i dont have the money then i can't so will have to sail to get the channel going again
