Done it mate, 52 f mono. Been in the water since 2005. When I was building it, people asked me what will I do when it is finished? My answer was "I maintain it" Never a truer word spoken. When it is done ,it is not over. And yes, I still love her. All 32 tons of the big arse.
If you are social sailing a lot, then tanks toward the bow will be a godsend. When everyone is hanging around the stern, you always wish you had more weight up front!
I believe the red all round mast head lights indicate mast height 150 ft or more above water level and are a warning to aircraft, Sydney harbour has several approved seaplane operating zones and helicopters and sightseeing planes often operate at low levels in the area. thanks for another great video
When your in the company of Sailing Friends why keep silent, to much fun I see/hear..Beautiful weekend there, thanks for the ride. Cats tanks will work themselves out, I think your perfectionist attitude is 100%, why not, it's your future palace on the water !!
Good work as usual. I love the Gilligan references. As I was watching this video about 125 meters from Gilligan's Lagoon and about 100 meters from the sound stage it was shot on. Good stuff and can't wait to you racing your boat soon.
I love the way you can say that it doesn't matter that you're not winning and do it with a straight face. Considering what you're really thinking! Great idea to put the extra tanks in. Running out of water is never much fun. On yer, matey!
You read my mind.I am the mist competitive guy around but our boat is a heavy girl and we struggle to compete with newer all foam cats but great fun nonetheless.Cheers and thanks for watching. Rossco
Red all around lights on top of mast means, the vessel is at least 30 meters long and or.... At Anchor, and can not deviate from channel due to keil depth/size
For work like that I would always work wet on wet. Bog and fillet the foam in with thickened resin. Use 2 tiny dots of hot melt glue on foam base that holds it in place. Then tab them in while fillet is still wet.
I do that when I am using epoxy as thus is vinylester system working time is less than 20 minutes so it gets hectic so easy sanding is possible within 24hours to maintain chemical bond. Although a modified epoxy vinyl is carried in a styrene based monomer and catalyzed within Norox Mekp.Cheers Rossco.
@@LifeOnTheHulls Been here for 9 years now but when i get to Pension age might be back and travel around Australia will see what unfolds in life now at the age of 64 so still have some time to go but will drop in and see the Master Boat Builder hahahaha lol friend.
Good question on the lights. Cant be navigation, so it has to be for a warning. My guess is that its a tall mast and there is an airport near by... Total guess, probably way off!
Are the red lights to warn aircraft of an obstacle? Your yacht is coming along nicely. You encouraged me to build a boat! Granted it's a 10 ft. Uqbar sailing dinghy, but none the less it is fun.
Could you put some reflective Mylar/PETE on top of your structure, kind of like those space blankets that joggers use, and then throw away after a race? I think that even the blankets they are pretty cheap. If my guesstimate is correct, they could cover 12x12 meters for $30, using 50 blankets that are about 1/2 x 2 meters each. Though, they make noise in the wind, and if you, personally make a lot of heat, it will stay inside. It would be optimal if somehow they could be elevated a few center-meters from the inside tarp/plastic, so little of any heat would be trapped inside. So, it would be a shade structure. There is also heat-reflective paint, but I don't know how long it would stay on plastic. Perhaps add some fans near the top of the structure to vent the heat?
Nice.Absolutely love pittwater My old stomping ground.Used to teach diving at Palm Beach and my sister lives at Newport. Am going to take Interim my trailer sailer up there for a 4 day sail in may.Cheers Jeff.

@@LifeOnTheHulls It seemed so much faster making the bottom part of the hull, spray gel coating it in one go. They do say the devil is in the detail, but your doing a good job, glad your sailing in between to blow off all the steam back down to normal levels. If I lived nearby and you could tolerate my company I'd come help out in various stages and exchange them for days cruising on the boat like the night views of Sydney harbour bridge, city and opera house and by the corals without damaging them. But I'm in the UK and I'm a pain in the arse lol. Perhaps others could work though
o love your videos!!! I was wondering if you can make a video about the design of your catamaran as a quick overview of the design. I am also designing a catamaran from scratch, I am a mechanical engineer, I wondered if you have the 3d designs of some components or parts such as the water tanks, you can share it with us it would be wonderful,
G'day Rosco. Great work so far. My only comment is to be careful loading up the bows of the boat too much as this will encourage pitching. Weight if possible should be kept centred. Excellent channel.
Do you still have the tanks you cut up for the inspection hatch rings? If you cut the bottom corners / edges of them they should make some nice custom fitted cradle beds for these tanks.
Bulkhead not quite in yet Nick.All underfloor work to be done prior to bulkhead tabbing.Bulkhead sits on floor sole.I have just today started glassing floors down.Cheers Rossco
@@LifeOnTheHulls I would think just carrying them around with you. I think if you leave them with your boat it would be ok. But don't hold me to that. I'm not a lawyer. You know how f-ed up laws can be written.
The red light is to distinguish the absolute top, or highest elevation, to warn aircraft?(ex. towers, buildings, and such) Thank you for also sharing the trials of such a huge project. Cheers,ed..
The power station near me in uk has red lights on top of the smoke stack which is higher than the 8 cooling towers. I always guessed it was for aircraft.
I am often relegated to filming and w hen that happens I get in trouble with Ron but he l8ves the vids.Someone has to film.Rons Seawind 1160 is one of the original 1160s so it is a much heavier more robust craft than the others that we are racing.Cheers Kev.
Good day. I watch every time. Just a question, do you check the tanks before you put them in to make sure there are no holes? Just a thought. Thank you for sharing your journey with me.
My understanding is that 3 masthead lights indicate the vessel is constrained by her draft and cannot readily manoeuvre. I think you need to clarify the seagulls are eating moths not bogans. Vampire seagulls are not something I want to come across. Cheers Eric
That is hilarious. Bogong not bogan.Bogong moths here are huge.Red lights indicate 150ft or greater mast height for low flying aircraft.Thanks for jumping in.Love it.Ross.
I’ve seen that often in my feed, too and have been tempted, but so far resisted. Please do let us know if it works well. Any concerns about having that extra water weight in the bows?
I know a fan would just blow hot air, but it would help evaporate sweat and keep you a bit cooler, also carry off fumes...Personally, I'd rig a plastic tent and set up a 5000 BTU AC unit in the side, you could easily move the whole thing when you needed to work elsewhere...Those tanks are going to have to stand forward pressure from slamming into heavy seas, filled with liquid they're going to have a lot of mass that should be braced against...Triple red mast lights usually means vessel constrained by draft, placement can be vertical or horizontal...
I will be installing a watermarker when required.I do not believe you can have enough storage and am required to have a grey water storage ability to meet survey in Amsa. All can be evacuated on reaching 3nm from shore.Ross
@@LifeOnTheHulls "you can't have enough storage", I agree, but have it to be water? why not booze... Just wanted to remind you, each mod take 3 time longer... please refrain to do too many mods, the build will feel as never ending to your family. It's a known fallacy, to get everything "perfect" at the beginning. Keep some mods for the time the boat is "finished".
Check out these guys they are both Australian and sailed in the race you were in last week...........................................(free range sailing)..................... they are a great couple they are sailing around Australia and they started off in Perth. and have sailed the Kimberleys to Darwin and Darwin down to Sydney so far on there journey

Three red lights atop the masts must be a precursor to three red lights blinking atop the masts indicating a full bladder and needing to take a pee???😂
@@LifeOnTheHulls GREAT :-) You are getting so close to closing it all up down there. I am excited to continue watching. The addition of the bow water tanks is a great idea. More capacity is alway great if you are not going to be a marina rat. Some of the boats at our marina haven't moved in years. There are boats in here I have never seen anybody onboard at all. Go figure. I pay $10.00 US p/ft which includes water and electric 220/115 vac. My monthly charge is so low because we are so far up the delta from the San Francisco Bay. I am in "F" shed in New Bridge Marina which is for up to 45 ft'ers. I am berthed in the next slip to my brother which makes it very nice. Even nicer, my stern door is inline with the ramp to the dock. This makes it so easy to load and unload. This marina is also home to our Yacht Club which has been here since 1953, aka the year I was born. We are the only Yacht Club On The Water. You can see pictures and videos in my UA-cam videos. I proudly display our burgie on the bow . Cheers Ross, 👍 🍻 Jay
Alot of weight like tanks in the front is bad idea all that weight slamming in the waves will rip your boat apart.every time the boat goes up a wave the front falls into the next and the water in tank slams right after acting like a hammer drill till all your fiberglass and fillers start cracking
They will not be loaded and are only slightly forward of amidship in fsct 12feet (4 mtrs) from bow in comparison to the weight aft,hence they will be used for waterstorage whilst at anchor and for grey water storage only in marinas to be pumped once at sea.Only ever backups in any case and likely to be empty and act as addtional buoyancy when empty.I have more than enough wster stirage for a lmost a ll occassions.These are only 78ltr tanks.etc.Cheers Ross

Red-over-red signals either a ship aground (not in distress) or that the ship's not under its own command and cannot maneuver, e.g., being towed.

Is that 3 masted schooner berthed in the flight path near Sydney Airport? If so they could be Obstruction lights so planes can see it at night.
A Monkey's Fist is used for a heaving line also. In a several states here in the US they are illegal I read they can be used as a weapon.

3 red lights. The schooner is limited or unable to move due to draft it requires? Although the cathouse interpretation is also interesting.

actually had to look that one up.. it has to do with the height of the masts; over 150 they need red lights.
Tim Hyatt ‘constrained by draught’
@@jacksbackable Tim's correct.. Constrained by draft is 3 red lights, but displayed vertically, not one on top of each mast
Hot air rises and gets trapped under the roof. It stays there and radiates infrared. You need an exhaust or a vent as high as possible. As always +1.
Rosco keep going mate I know how you feel... it will be worth it... not 100% but the red lights for higher masts.
