- Paul Dijkstra Composites builds composite casco boats and parts. For this 17meter carbon yacht Paul will explain the building process and what's special about the hull. This vessel is also one of the largest carbon motorboats built in the Netherlands. Episode one gives the basic information about this vessel created by Guido de Groot and engineered by Studio Delta. The final construction will take place at VMG Enkhuizen.
Gave video Paul! Ik kijk uit naar deel 2
A daring project. Fascinating. I guess I have questions that may have been answered already but linger in my mind: is it good for a big motoryacht to be this light ? Will you need balast? Where and what kind ? How will the lightness of the hull effect the variation in overall weight between full and empty fueltanks ? What about dampening of vibrations from slamming ? Is a conventional hullshape suitable for building in a new material with different characteristics? And ofcourse: could I learn from it to use on my own boat ? I have a plywood sailing catamaran. How much can I safe in weight if I replace the six wooden beams and two deckpods and two decks with foam-and -carbon ? Would it be affordable ? Can I make it myself ? Can I make an autoclave for the five meters long beams ? From pvc pipe ??

Can you add English to video please?
We've added english subtitles
@@pauldijkstracomposites Thank You 👍
Can you speak english...
Hi, we can speak english, but decided to do it in dutch as this goes more natural. We added subtitles in english, you can put them on.
Sir, wrong material for yacht. Please reconsider.
There are quite a number of full carbon yachts, tenders and cruisers out there, what is the issue with carbon? The only things I could think of would be the lightness in the hull which can cause rocking (as seen in Palmer Johnson's carbon yachts) but that could be remedied with some weight distribution or a ballast system. It will be expensive to fix - but it is already an expensive yacht so that doesn't matter. Salt water and Carbon sometimes does not play nice but with gelcoat, paint, clearcoat it will be fine. You could make a case about flexibility as fiberglass while denser will have more "give" you can work that out using different layering set up as they have been doing.
This guy is a troll. He's said the same thing on the next video without stating a reason.
Jealousy I suspect 😏
@@SpectatingBystanderCarbon fiber is a composite material, meaning that it is made up of multiple layers of different materials. This can make it difficult to inspect for cracks and other defects. This is especially important for yachts, where even a small defect could lead to disaster.
