    Frankly I give you guys maximum respect. This is brutally unpleasant work with fiberglass, the most unpleasant of all boat building materials. Incredible hard work. I’ve built wooden boats in Maine with my grandfather, starting as a kid in the ‘50s, but that was true old fashioned craftsmanship and wood is such a more environmentally friendly material. I couldn’t do it. I wouldn’t do it. Especially in fiberglass. But chapeau to you guys! Maximum respect.

    I pop in and out to see your progress and am familiar with your commitment and dedication to the build. I must admit I am a little shocked at just how big and time consuming it has been. Again I am familiar with how hard you both work and the incredible skills you both bring to the project. I'm hopefull you are both pleased with your progress and am sure that once completed you will have a beautiful catamaran as well as one incredible story! Bon Chance the rest of the way ....

    Well you are looking terrific compared the last time I saw you dumping dust everywhere. You know that is a huge yacht and you may not have realized how much work was involved and how long it would take to finish. You have a terrific idea to get sailing as soon as possible. I would finish one bedroom one bathroom the kitchen and put in a captains chair and away I would go. Doing work as you are sailing around then going for a nice swim afterward sounds like the way to go. Best wishes and good luck 300,000 to 400,000 of savings sounds really good. Nice trip you need to have fun too.

    There is so much work to build a boat, even a kit boat with all the main pieces provided. The manufacturer or designer can tell anyone interested how many thousands of hours it will take an experienced builder team. Most individuals think they will do it in less time but they are always wrong. If there are 5 people working on it full time and they know what they are doing, and have access to all the tools needed, they may be able to finish the boat in the specified number of hours. It is several years of full time work and few of us can spend all our time building so it gets stretched out longer.... You are doing great! Just keep going and eventually it will get done, or at least done enough to sail away and spend several more years finishing the almost endless list of jobs.

    • @MJSailing
      @MJSailing  Рік тому +1

He said " just shake this can, then open this and mix that and pour it in here and then paint this powder room". I said to him "pass me a brush and a beer then hand me a tray with some paint in it and you see this big flat hallway wall, I'll call you when I'm out of paint. Then uou can take my brush to that sink and wash it or I'll just throw it away. Your call". He just laughed and handed me a brush. I had to go find the beer myself 😂😂

We are just at the end of a 3 1/2 year demo and rebuild ourselves (sadly a house, not a boat!), and the last few months became somewhat relentless! It's all worth it in the end though!!

    I could not help but be impressed by the dust created, it's kind of like some maker masterpiece! Was wondering if anyone offers you deals on sailboats, or if you see/hear of any while at the marina. Perhaps some of the followers might be interested if you find a good one. Might be nice to take a day sailing every now and then to keep things mixed up. I'm also watching Ran sailing doing a boat build, they too have made a huge pile of dust(mostly wood) so far! It is very interesting to compare the two very different methods of construction. You both share the same patience, persistence and desire for quality that is inspirational to watch! Thanks a million, we don't often get to see this very important part of success!!!!

    Don't make the mistake they made with cabinet choices. Look to a FP or Leppard cabinetry and doors standard. You don't want years of building to be "pooped on" during the finishing. Finish carpentry is the hardest step; a team usually works on this full time while a separate team builds the boat.

      That money could be spent getting therapy to fix your brains afterwards!. On that note I’ve got to go give my boat a bath.

      We have years and years left to live. This will be the only boat build we do ourselves from start to finish.

    The things like budget we want to know , going over the things you’ve already done , over and over again pointless. It takes away for the build and we see the progress when we’re watching you do the work , so note that over explaining things is boring and though we thank you for doing so but trust you don’t have to do so all the time

    40 hours a week x 50 weeks x 2 years = 4000 hours. ..... each.

      Matt spends 8-9 hours a day, 7 days a week in there, and I do 6 hours a day, 7 days a week. So he's about 56 hours each week and I'm 42. But our savings for an overall 3.5 years of work on this boat will be about $400k. Plus, we love the work we're doing in there. I'd take it over any other job. 😍

    I worry about your lungs. I work in chemical plant and these are some deadly chemicals and should wear full body suits with full encapsulated face and oxygen cylinders
