We are Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple that during a sabbatical trip in 2016 decided to follow our dream. So, we created "Odd Life Crafting", a project composed of many smaller projects that we call seasons.
The first one was the creation of Odd Life Crafting. The idea was to build a metal boat to be able to travel the world taking our house with us, but we didn't have money for that. So, we started the next season: we built a tiny shipping container house with no prior experience in building to gain some skills to build a boat. When we were almost finished we found a boat 700km away from our hometown that was neglected for over 22 years and we spent 2 years refitting her (Season 3). On the season 4 we sailed for 2 years (exploring the Brazilian coast and part of the Caribbean), we sold our boat and we moved to Europe. The last season we are starting to build a new aluminum 43ft sailboat and a new life.
We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.

You think watching your boat being built is exiting just wait until you hold your baby for the first time, I was present when my daughter was born that was the best day of my life the best day before that was my wedding day 😊
Let the Meta employees know they are so talented and inspiring to watch them create this awesome piece of art!! We love looking over their shoulders!!
Huge respect for the builders!
Those fellows are walking talking blueprint artists. Love their methodology of construction as well as their artistic or creative ways of mission solutions. The precision of their workflow is like poetry in motion. Thx for letting us see yalls expertise. Thx for filming. The new parent dance book is filling up properly now. So excited for you two. Your world is soon to explode from boat to baby excitement. I’m beside myself too. Be safe and have fun with vacation trips.
Interesting to see the difference in building technique here vs the company that build the hull for "Distant shores". I think they are each on a different side of the spectrum. Where most modern yards nowadays use precise CNC cut parts, here I see a lot of hammering, grinding, bending and the application of serious force to "make" things fit. As much as i appreciate the older craftsmanship, this leaves a lot of stress in the material resulting in a lot of stress in the hull. I do however like the hull thickness that comes with this process. I worked a lot on Dutch shipyards in my younger years in the beginning of my welding career. Watching this is taking me 35 years back in time, if not more.
in Garcia, Boreal, and so on ( so in the same country) , it's more "new-fashion style". Meta is different cause they play only with very thick aluminium with much less "T" reinforcements so much much less welding at the end of the day. But as you can see, you have problem with this "two radius curve bow on a short piece", but most of the pieces are CNC cutted too.
The solution is a female/male mould to make a custom stamped part in a single operation, but it would be too expensive.
for 8mm thick alloy, what i see here ( press then hammer ) seems not a big deal for the stress, this piece won't move again.
Guys, guys, guys, this video was amazing, amazing, amazing, WOW! now we can understand the amount of effort and machanical engineering that goes into making these beauties, please give a big thanks to the manufacturing company, that allows you to film this, WOW!!!!!
That baby bump is a blessing. God bless you both!
I am amazed at how much time and effort it takes to build this bow section! True craftsmen!
Thanks for sharing your joy in the boat building process!!!
You introduced us to Yaba, it was amazing to see wood work .
And now aluminium work.
Obligado twice.
Sorry, i'm french
Roberta has made lots of progress on her construction project too!
Duca may you both have a wonderful visit with family and friends. Stay safe and healthy.
I think you are doing a great job showing how Meta builds their boats and especially the care taken in the first of a model. Your videos with luck will bring them more business
Look forward to the next news and video. All the best, Hal
Your dedication to building a new 43ft aluminum exploration sailboat is truly remarkable. Your commitment to crafting such a significant vessel shows your exceptional skill, passion, and determination to embark on new adventures. And I am Floating Village Life.
The boat is taking magnificent shape! And Roberta and baby boy are looking fantabulously. Hope you have a wonderful vacation. Look forward to the next updates be safe in your travels....
That's better I've been watching from the beginning the short videos aren't enough and still happy for you guys
Having been busy with our own project, we didnt hear the good news Roberta, my wife and myself are delighted for you and Luca, ( No, we are not talking about the boat ).. beautiful !
Thanks guys for this great episode. It brought tears to my eyes to see what love, care, experience and of course skill these craftsmen exercise in building these Meta boats. As you know we have two Meta’s and as we bash through 2 meter waves and confused seas it gives me great confidence to know what was behind each and every weld. Enjoy your holidays. We will be back in Port Saint Louis next week leaving our dear Arktika Meta Voyager 47 on the hard in Scotland.
She’s coming together guys!!
🥰
This is such a cool thing to watch. I can't imagine how hard it is to get exact bends on a slab of aluminum that large.
So fun that you will look at the best built (outside of Sweden 😉) boat!
Sirius is my wet dream! 💕😀😄🇸🇪
Save travels,,, we can’t wait to see the progress and also baby in a few weeks.❤
🥰
Enjoy your vacation. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us.
Your passion of the construction of your boat is an exciting thing to watch.
Fantastic explanation of how this project is going Ducca and momma Roberta looks even more gorgeous looking forward to seeing you guys in your next vlog love and best wishes from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Nice that you are going to see a Sirius! Have fun!
Good to see some real progress at last. You must be relieved. Stay safe and healthy all of you
We are all praying for Roberta and can't wait for your return from Germany. Will you be taking the van?
Duca, the expertise of the men who are building the bow includes being able to conceptualize in their mind what they need to do. They create a movie in their mind. That can only happen with experience. They are working with thick and rigid materials in numerous planes, not thin and pliable like your paper model from a few weeks ago. The big machine that bends the sheets is called a "brake press". Impressive.Wow... seven weeks ago. It seems like just yesterday. :¬) Webhead USA
Deus abençoe vocês dois.Pela chegada deste baby.Quanta alegria para todos.Abracos❤❤❤
💕
Roberta, you are one of the few people I know where pregnancy really looks great on you. I am so happy for the both of you!
🥰
The special bendingtools they use....super cool to watch...👍👍👍
That bow piece could easily have been made by a cnc machine from solid stock ! 😮it would have been stronger and can have any number of custom features that you desire. ❤
Those boat builders are SO skilled. What a great team you have working there.
It is not easy at all to bend and weld those sheets with the accuracy required to produce a beautiful boat.
... it is truly amazing, eye opening and just plain fun to watch masters at their craft work ... and when their craft is thick hunks of metal, wow ... just wow ...
2 babies being built at the same time....one in the womb of a woman, the other in the womb of an aluminum factory...blessings!
🥰
Very impressive. I'm sure you'll have great ideas on the interior. I will be watching. 😎
You two are so likeable and excited about the boat and the baby. Looking forward to your future adventures.🤎⛵
🥰
Love it. And can't get over how happy and excited you are.
Wow, the building process is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us. And thank the welder who eventually accepted to be filmed!
By the way, I don't know if anybody asked already but, what are the advantages of this kind of bow with a "negative" angle? Is this just a matter of design or does it creates less drag "cutting" the waves? I see a lot of recent boats with this kind of bow which remind me the 19th century ocean liners (to some extent).
Good question regarding the negative bow angle. You are correct in saying this bow design idea has been around for a very long time. The US Navy actually built a destroyer with a similar bow design a few years ago. Not a naval architect so I don't have any answers as to whether the bow angle might be more efficient than a more traditional bow design.
Is nice to see you are excited! If you are excited, we are excited! This is Luca style 😅
WOW Roberta your bump is growing. I hope both of you are going to take a break too enjoy the new arrival when he makes an appearance. Back top the boat, the hull really is taking shape, before you know it the deck will be getting ready to go down. 2x👍
So awesome to watch these master boat builders do their work. And even better to see how your baby is growing! Wow, how the time passes so quickly! All the best❤
Great fun watching them construct your boat, they're going to be the most famous aluminium fabricators in the world!!!
great video , I love watching the skills by the people at Meta , I,ve been watching you guys for yrs , have a great holiday , hope Roberta is doing great , all the best to you both .
Felicidades por los avances del barco, ahora a relajarse y a descansar felicites vacaciones, hasta pronto , saludos desde Malaga España
I think both your women have a GREAT shape! Congratulations!
Love you guys! I know you're so happy to see so much progress on your new boat. Safe travels. ❤
Que maravilloso amigos y felicitaciones por su bebé que todo siga saliendo maravillosamente un abrazo enorme. Por acá ya en esta semana próxima haré posesión y firma de mi velero así que estén atentos que les enviaré noticias
🥰⛵️
I LOVE the music choices you’ve made with this!
Give my regards to the builders. Interesting and enjoyable to see how they do it.
Bow IS the most complicated place on the boat. So many curves and shapes kind of end there from all directions!
Two creation in progress. Exciting times.
Great content and really well filmed. It’s good you now have a young team of workers on the boat who are happy to be filmed 👍
So fascinating, I learned allot. Thank you for making this video! And enjoy when she's ready!
☺️
Great coverage Luca. I was amused by your comment at 20:52 that "I don't know if you can see on camera but there iis a belly here" - with Roberta standing in profile!
I'm glad to see the progress and that it makes you both so happy. Enjoy your vacation!
Roberta you are looking wonderfull ... Though i know your body will be shouting atbyou and the little one playing football with your bladder. 😂 🧙🏻♂️😎 Good luck and rest while you can..
This is fantastic. The processes involved are incredible and show such a high degree of skill from thr workers at this yard. Keep well and safe. James.
Sounds like a very Sirius boat-yard visit in Germany.
We can't wait to see your again!!! Have a great vacation and relax!
Building a boat and building a family... How does it get any better... Everything is looking great...
Enjoy your holiday, you will need the break before bambino arrives. Good luck and have fun.
Anyone else notice the irony of him talking about a "belly" on one side and not the other. Poor Roberta was in the first shot, but not the second one hahaha🤣
It’s like my stitch and glue kayak but with really thick aluminum, lol.
Have a wonderful time on your vacation! All the best!
That is a true skill to fit that metal panel with so perfectly on ❤!
The skill of those guys, amazing talents!
Wow a lot of effort from the boys. Well done.
Congratulations on your baby bump ❤
Going to be so good to see in little costumes.
So cool! Thanks for sharing!
Marvelous filming, fantastic editing and the perfect music! I.e., a great video.
Vai ficar irado esse barco.
Irado turma. Fico pensando na galera que constrói em casa, tipo o Lelei, imagina o trampo
☺️ o Duca acompanhou a obra dele. Fica impressionado que ele fez todos os cortes de chapas de alumínio a mão. O Vanderlei fez tudo sem ter todo o maquinário que o estaleiro tem. Com certeza foi bem mais difícil. 😁
What a class of descriptive geometry, Duca!
A baby and a new boat in the same year what a lucky year 2024 is for you both (well the boat interior probably won't be finished in 2024, but the hull might be)
Wishing Roberta and baby are healthy and a trouble free birth 🤞
Enjoy your break
Have a great vacation.
Thanks guys, you’re terrific! Enjoy what Europe has to offer! Cheers 🇬🇧
Cant wait to watch the coming vids! Happy vacationing guys. Have a great one!
Have a great holiday. You both deserve it
☺️
Me alegro mucho de veros tan entusiasmados! Ese ⛵ va cogiendo forma, y Roberta también!!😂
Tenéis muy buena energía y sois muy trabajadores. Este barco va a ser un éxito!!
They are very skilled at building boats!
felicitaciones por la panza ¡¡¡
🥰
G'day Crew,
Cool episode guys, it's comming along nicely, with some hull lines already starting to emerge.
Relax and enjoy the break ,
sounds like fun .
Best wishes to you both, especially to Roberta , I wonder which country this little baby will choose to be born in .
So cool
🧸🧷
Respect....!
Enjoyed this video a lot, you did a great work with the videography and the editing, the welders did a great job on the boat too! 🙂
I think the new boat should be named “I’m Odd Too”.
Nice to see some metalwoork. My first job was a steelfitter so its 90 % the same as lumlum (Alu). Have been building a bit in alu buth not that mutch. I gess they will put in as mutch, bulkheds and bracings as possible before weldig the skin.
God bless you guys and good luck with the baby girl.
Nice video
☺️
Be safe stay healthy enjoy your vacation.
Blessings on you both
Have a great holiday
Duca, always the Sails man 😊
You 2 1/2 have fun. I'll miss you but I'm not going anywhere. Enjoy!
It looks like 10mm sheet which would be 3/8”. Judging purely from the scale of the hands on the aluminium they are shaping. But you are the one that would know.
I love this video and watching all that work being done! Keep it up…and good luck!
for the german : i bet on sirius yacht, so clever layouts
Aguardando ansioso os próximos!!!!
Suggest an English Weal to your yacht builder . Boat is coming along . :)
Fascinating
Looking radiant and motherly have a great break hugs D xx
We need a new "FINALLYYYY!" when the baby arrives 🙂
