    I always learn something with your videos. Sometimes something new, sometimes something I already knew and needed to remember, sometimes something I didn´t even notice haha.
    Today, I remembered some of my own experiences, that when we execute projects without experience to plan before, we always loose sooo much time finding our way trough so much stuff to be done...
    And you can, somehow, even with all the difficulties take it all step by step, do all the small bits and pieces, and in the end it all fits better than everything else original stuff?
    Honestly, skills that very few people on this world have.

    You never really know how much you miss a channel until it hasn’t been on for quite awhile 😮 So glad to see you guys back and can’t wait to see this project installed on your boat. Time to get back to sailing so I can escape reality 😂 ❤️🇨🇦

    Glad you posted. Not surprised you both took a minute to live life. I'm thankful that you're making content and showing me how to do things, but I'm also thankful you both go and do you're own thing too. Life is to be LIVED. All the gritty, terrible, boring, terrifying, sweet, gentle, heartbreaking, joyful, mirthy stuff. Don't miss out on that.
    Fair winds.
    I see another of your vids dropped, so I'm off to see that.
    And Thank You. ❤

    HA! I had just looked up both of your accounts the other day, wondering if I had missed a recent video...and then just saw this today! Great to see you both and that you're still working toward getting this project complete. Miss your content and the pups. I hope to see you all back out on the water cruising in the near(ish) future! 💙💙

    Excited to hear from you both with your smiling grins !
    The work on the new dodger looks amazing so far and will look really sporty (in black) on the stern, will definitely be a looker and everyone will know it’s you coming over the Horizon, Yippee!
    So happy you guys are back & see you real soon

    Wow , nice work! Perfect on the job and so the result is beautiful.
    You’re the only crew that kept the weight in mind. Although the solid parts wil make the boat more like wind vane.
    The center of gravity is kept low. Less rolling and good recovery from capsizing.
    Awsome, thanks for sharing

    Now that you have the base foundation, you have to be very careful of what you do next! Because every hasty decision could be fatal and cost you a lot of money and extra hours of work! Do you know the words: Measure twice, cut once!? Well, now you have to think things through before you make any permanent decisions! But it looks good so far! Good job, both of you!

    Have you ever considered trying vacuum infusion? I'm just getting into it and it's awe-inspiring how huge the resin-to-glass ratio has changed compared to the hand-wetting. It will be at minimum 50% lightweight.

    • @ExpeditionEngineering
      @ExpeditionEngineering  9 днів тому +1

      We started out doing a lot of this with vacuum bagging, but a lot of the parts didn't lend themselves to the process well. Infusion seems incredible but and I believe the hype, but we have not tried it.

    • @Sailing_Victoria
      @Sailing_Victoria 9 днів тому +2

      ​@@ExpeditionEngineering Vacuum bagging is a bit trickier as the clock starts ticking from mixing resin and there is not too much time for hunting after vacuum leaks. Conversely, with vacuum infusion, you have unlimited time for dry setup and 10-60 minutes to enjoy your good prep work and admire resin flow. I just successfully finished 4 consecutive vacuum-infused parts and every time I had new ideas and takeaways on how to improve the process. I'm very happy that I gave it a try. Just sharing my experience...

    @nutsandbolts432 13 днів тому

    I get that most of the design is a reflection of what looks best on the boat. I’m still interested to know details like how many layers of carbon, plus weight and type, is needed to provide the rigidity needed for your use. I can’t imagine that with that big of an investment in time and money that its just a guess. Did you consult an engineer or take inspiration from a previous design?

    On a completely different topic I hope you are getting royalties from the company you did some advertising of a Japanese knife with as they are saturation advertising their product right now here in NZ, (on UA-cam) I’m sure you could do with some extra cash to pay for all that carbon and epoxy. Great work on the project BTW, not an easy one to tackle with all those angles and no straight lines 😀.

    Fantastic to see you guys continuing your work on the new carbon fibre hard top, it’s really coming together nicely now it’s been ages since we last watched you in a new video. Do you have any new material for the expedition Evan’s site…??? Also do you have any plans for your future ( sailing) that you can let us know about 🤞🏼🤞🏼 watching you guys from your first upload introduced me to the world of Cruisers, 😀 & since I’ve subscribed to Teulu Tribe (British couple)… just like you guys not sure if you know about them Zak & Becca, watched ALL of their videos … also joined Spear it Animal from their beginning I know you know those guys seen you pop up in their videos 😜 as well as the The Adventure Crews, I’m now watching (only watched a few of her videos)… Lauren Landers lone sailor, she seems to be getting on quite well… BUT I feels she needs a “Brett” onboard to help her work through her boats issues!!… but bless her she’s pushing on & getting things done 👍 so to end guys, as lots have sayid great to see you back on here keep the videos 😢coming please 🙏🏻 … & stay safe … Regards Les from the UK 🇬🇧 …

    why make your boat as off grid as possible when you park it in a marina and are away from it for so long that the food in your fridge has time to spoil ?
