I’d suggest a Dremel drum sander for corners. Larger drum sanders of various sizes are handy too. 3M stikit P80 as example works well on different pipe diameters, and could be used on outside of hole saw for circles. I also like 2” & 3” Roloc discs. Keep up the great work.
from an Australian, keep up the work your almost there but change your work shedual, start at 4am go to 10 or 11am whenever the heat starts to kill you then take a longer lunch (pub lunch) come back and do a couple of hours cleaning up and prep for the next moring. the heat sucks so you just have to work around it. trying to work through it just causes you to feel broken and make mistakes.
Great video guys! Honored to be spending time with you guys and being neighbors at the marina!! Looking forward to fun times ahead! You guys are legends!! Xxx
If anyone is on the fence about buying a MJ Sailing shirt, hop off and do it! I bought a tank top for my wife and can hardly get her to take it off long enough to wash it. She says it cool to wear, soft on the skin, and super comfortable! Plus it helps Matt and Jess, it's a win-win!
It is amazing to get "flashes" of a finished boat in the same areas you are working on. Really nice to be able to visualize where everything you are doing is going.
If you can find one, look for a sandblasting helmet and get a good large-volume aircompressor. When you decompress that air (slowly) into that helmet, you'll be working 70-degree air, and if you tuck the neck at the bottom of the helmet into your Tyvek suit and seal with a little tape, that air will flow all the way down and out your shirt sleeves. It's like working in AC. Used to work for my dad's sandblasting company when I was a kid, and would have to crawl into a sand hopper that would be 130+, they put that thing on me with a long sleeve shirt buttoned over the neck of the helmet, and I could have stayed in there all day.
ahoy MJ "International" wow, it's amazing what you two have accomplished so far and your ongoing commitment to the highest level of fit and finish, congrats! glad you invited us to join your well deserved day off 4th celebration, so fun!!... here's to good friends!!!
Buy a 2.5-inch by 36-inch round wooden dowel. Cut one end at a 45 degree and affix a flat surface to the cut end. Staple a piece of sandpaper to the flat surface. Tada, a sanding block with reach.
What a daunting project. Great video of various happenings in your lives. Nice to see you two are taking time to decompress from the build on occasion. We can all make suggestions about what to do how you should do it however I think you both are doing a great job. Think about the day when you are sailing and you comment to yourself "Hmm I remember when I built this compartment, or wow that day I turned myself every which way but loose to slide in and sand that shelf space"!
Yes, we are absolutely taking more time to decompress this summer so we do not get burnt out, and I think it's really helping. Plus we don't want to sail away and feel like we never experienced or enjoyed the area (like the summer we spent in Guatemala). And yes, the cabinets!! I know that if I did a half as$ job on them, every time I used them in the future I could see myself saying "If I had just put in *a little* more effort...". 😉
Nice, but you should strengthen the catamaran's width as many catamarans the last few years has over time shown a tendency to 'break' where the cabin meets the hulls due to the mast and weight of the cabin. A good way to do this is to add strength between each hull that will hold up the cabin.
An interesting trick I found when working in hot areas is to fill a camelback with ice and some water. It will cool your back making you more comfortable working. It also provides cold water too.
> Please set up some cooling fans and keep cool water and electrolyte in the schedule. Abandon ship when it's too hot, heat stress will slow you way down and heat stroke can cause permanent damage. The big tent is a greenhouse capturing excessive heat, so be proactive and stay healthy mates.
Yes, we definitely learned our lesson last year about needing to cut out when it's too hot. We're pretty much useless at that point, and it's not healthy for us. So now we work most nights, and when we are in there until lunch time, we drink lots of water with added electrolytes.
Jessica and Matt, those gutters look fantastic! As someone who’s done a fair (pun intended) amount of fiberglass fabrication and finishing over the years, I can truly appreciate the amount of work needed to make them look like they were done in a factory…nice job. Be careful of the heat, guys…getting zapped can creep up on you and affect you for the rest of your lives. The boat is looking amazing! -Don
Thanks for the kind words!! And yes, as we're getting into the hottest parts of summer now, there is a lot more 'breaking' after lunch and then picking up again after dinner.
I absolutely love small town 4th of July celebrations. There is nothing like them. I am glad you got to experience what they are like...twice where you are.
So good Natalie and James could spend some time with you. You all are such great hosts. Sure wish you all had a controlled environment you could work in. I'll bet it makes you want to sleep during the day and work at night. Thank you for sharing your build. It's looking more beautiful as it progresses. Keep your chin up!
A temperature controlled warehouse would be the dream, but being inside a tent is still a big step up from our last build! 😃 Yes, we are getting to the point now where we'll work until lunch time and then break/rest and go back in the tent after dinner.
"A Little Dizzy" is no joke. Seeing as how I'm still recovering a torn shoulder from a very low grade fall... In my former airline career we referred to such things as "Subtle Incapacitation"... No good comes from that. Bottom line is, none of us can really afford injuries, and naturally you get to make your own calls... Early calls are better. Thanks for reading my rant, and sharing your adventures.
New to your channel. Got to meet mr. Basch and his spouse, Calico, One Life and Delos down in PV this past July. Such great people all. Unfortunately couldn’t swing Annapolis this year, maybe next. Love the build videos, need to go back and watch your beginnings. Cheers 🤗
If you buy a can of the powered version of Gatorade you can mix your own bottles, because water alone will not replace the electrolytes lost in extreme heat for extended periods. Cool video - thanks.
Right now we have a box of those Propel Fitness drink powders. They have electrolytes in them, so we try and add them to our bottles of water when we're drinking them. 🙂
Hey MJ. I’m in Annapolis right now. I have over 25 years of body repair experience. I could give/ show you some tips for fairing if you would be interested? I’m here for 4 more days.
I know how you feel about dreading the job at hand and the heat making it so much drudgery. I'm not a heat person at all but sometimes you just gave to suck it up.
Sorry I'm late commenting. We were down in Monterey, CA, at the Scottish Games yesterday. That was fun. They tossed some interesting things there, too. Jess has certainly developed mad boat building skills, but those egg catching skills are unmatched! What a fantastic Fourth you guys spent!
Guys, that's a LOT of fussy work. But Jessica is doing an even better job of fairing than they do at the factory! The end result will be something to be proud of! Nice 4th of July break, that looks like a really fun neighborhood.
Such a fun and magical neighborhood! We feel so lucky to be able to take part in its events. And thank you for the compliment! U hope my finish work turns out factory quality! 👍
A belated Happy Independence to you guys. Anne Arundel County is a great place to celebrate. The parades in Shady Side and Galesville should be on your agenda for next year. They're a hoot.
10:26 A Beneteau in need of TLK-X, Matt & Jssica you don't want to let that drama compete with your superb, skilled, high level construction, well good company is... 10:41 PS: Matt is worringly focused on posing, lots of work to do. Love how Matt & Jessica engage with and appreciate the 4th July event, even a glimpse of community activities is so important for all ages. Love how Jeff & Cam contibute so much the local and wider community, and I'm on another continent.
At 23:15 it appears the angle you're using the fairing spreader is less than I use. You may want to work with it at a closer to 45* angle with a light touch. Good luck.
July 4th?? Is that July 4th 2022??? 'Cause if it is you should give yourselves a BIG pat on the back for being that caught up with your videos. Take care
Their deck looks maybe sketchy. Don’t see any diagonal bracing, though it could be there . I alway worry about deck failures. I’m an inspector. Hope the deck is good
So ready!! It's hard not to just 'throw the rest together ', lol. But since it is also our home, we want top quality (or to the best of our abilities) for the interior.
You seemed concerned with the behavior of the boat and rudders when fouled with weeds. While this might be a rare occurrence will this experience result in any changes or preventive measures?
Paying the 100° piper for having too much fun while we were getting eaten alive by the local midges on the AT. So there. Hahaha. Btw, who supplies the psychedelics? 🎇🎆
Don’t waste too much time & energy sanding and fairing undersides of shelves and other internal areas. Perfection is the enemy of good and many of those out of the way places need only light sanding prep followed by a coat of Total Boat - TotalBilge epoxy bilge paint. Thick, self leveling, it covers small imperfections and leaves a hard finish impervious to stains, mildew etc. Perfect for closed locker interiors.
I get how many people will view the insides of cabinets as 'meh' spaces - and yes, the Total Boat epoxy bilge paint is great in some areas. But one of our biggest pet peeves from our last build is we didn't do a 'great' job of finishing out the cabinets. So that's a (person preference) mistake we won't repeat a second time. 😉
I know that you already bought the engines. Could they be used as part of a hybrid system if you find that attractive now the yard is offering such a system ?
We've always had the ability to do electric hybrid (and still have that option), what we don't have is the budget, lol. Our two used diesel Yanmars cost us $7,000 - but an upgrade to electric hybrid would cost us $80,000.
@@MJSailing How much would new engines cost? Does the 80k include new engines? Is the additional solar and battery a big part of the 80K? What would it cost to buy a finished boat rather than the kit?
Well, then we are talking about real money. For the time being IMHO the electric part of electric hybrid may show difficulties when repairs are necessary in far away places whereas a (old) diesel engine can be repaired almost everywhere in the world and Yanmar being a ubiquitous brand.

You need a Dremel for those tight corners.
Investment in a Dremal might make sanding those nibs in corners a lot easier
I’d suggest a Dremel drum sander for corners. Larger drum sanders of various sizes are handy too. 3M stikit P80 as example works well on different pipe diameters, and could be used on outside of hole saw for circles. I also like 2” & 3” Roloc discs. Keep up the great work.
You guys are developing some mad skills. Maybe you should start building boats!😊
Maybe in 10-15 years when we need a break from sailing, lol.

Why are they not sending these
Pieces? It seems ridiculous that you have to make some of these very small pieces.
Many of these pieces they don't send or mold in because they want to leave the kits completely customizable. Not everyone will want a hatch there, or that same size.... We really like the freedom of being able to make this boat exactly to our specifications.
I don't know how well this will work on the inside of the boat. But you can make sanding easier on your body by investing in drywall sanding poles.

Just curious if the trip to Vietnam changed any of your plans for your boat?
One thing it did do was confirm that in the owners hull, we do not want the outboard cabinets to go all the way to the overhead. Instead we'll be ending them at the window, or a little lower.
