    Can’t believe you are so close to launch! Congratulations on all the hard work y’all have accomplished! You and Janet sure have a wonderful life down under! Hope y’all have many years of sailing on your awesome cat. Well done.

    Rossco, i have watched many sailing you tubes over the past 5 years. i always knew that a metal hull will hold up much better than a glass . On one current channel, a coup[le are building a somewhat traditional wooden Swedish mono haul on another channel and moving much quicker than your project and the Wooden vessel project is an aluminum project. Much of your time is spent on epoxies and drying times. Three channels and 3 building techniques!

      Love it Jim, I have done that trip now 8 times and it blows me away every time I go there.My previous business ran trips on the Ninngaloo Coast and I was so lucky to be able to experience it.

    If you stagger your unions you can keep the tubing runs tighter together and it gives a cleaner look .

    Sorry Ross, I think you need to go on more holidays. You got to swim with wales, that’s amazing and beautiful. I want to see more. We need you to do more of that when you’re on the seas. Something to motivate you both. Good progress, loving the laminate.

      Good motivation and we love to travel, thus build has certainly squashed our travels for too long, hence the push to launch,

    Love the channell. To stop the flickers with your lights in the workshop that show up on the videos. Change your recording to 4k 50 if you can. Russell, an Aussie living in Moscow, Russia.

      Thanks Russell, I find that 50hz and 25frame f
      Rate is better and if the camrlera is still it stops but the different led lights also have different frequencies.great to hear from you, must be starting to get cold, in Moscow.

    The table mechanism is great, but I always say my boat drinks about a dozen, feeds about six but only sleeps two.

      Nigel, the sea kayaks are stable and capsizes are extremely rare.I am able to eskimo roll a double back up wirh a willing partner, singles can be rolled with technique also but I never capsize inadvertently.Wet exit us easy and can be righted by another person beside it and rescue effected simply Ross.

      We take 4 weeks holiday a year and work 7 days a week on the boat otherwise, we we have been self employed our whole careers and work after dinner at night to make sure we are able to build our boat and the youtube is a further 30hours a week to make these videos, so lucky to be able to maintain the momentum.We are now almost retired as we have hit that age, and are certainly not wealthy or I would have juat bought a cat or tried to crowded fund like most channels are doing, good luck with that.Ross
