🔴 Why does this BOAT BUILD need an INSANE 6,000 feet of pipe work?!!
Вставка

- Boat building is a complicated process, and this boat build seems doubly so!
In our first Ruby Rose 2 video we look at the whole boat building process surrounding hull number 1. Vacuum infusion is a complicated process and following the construction of the plug then the mould, it can all begin
6,000 feet of pipe work are laid into this hull over two weeks and it is both insane and beautiful to watch. The final result: a finished and beautiful hull. Enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe so that you

Carbon fiber bulkhead!
Hey Colin. Great to see you on here. Sorry for your bulkhead woes mate. Beer when we catch up
Farben Khyber hulkbed!
Your a hero to the lagoon owners that are finding themselves is a similar situation.
Good luck Colin and crew and the other owners dealing with manufacturing problems. Love your work mate. Hope you're all feeling better.
All I could think of was of Parley once they put in that bulkhead. Hoping the best for you!
Amazing. Had NO idea of the complexity and practices used to build the hull!
Wow your timing on this type of ‘build quality’ film… is perfect. The Lagoon bulkhead situation is shocking… and I’m sure many viewers are thinking much more deeply about how manufacturers are making their boats!!
Yeah we feel sorry for our friends who are having issues
This is just amazing. As someone that spent their career building aircraft and working with those same materials for years the process they are using in incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Unbelievable amount of work goes into any boat build but the cats are something else. Thank you again. You ROC!
Absolute pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
WOW! Honest to god this is one of the most incredible things I’ve seen! I had NO idea! The vacuum bagging!?!? WHA??? I will be watching this about 4 more times. I’m so geeked out about this right now! Thank you!!!
I concur with the requests for more of this technical information. Between the first Seawind 1370 build and the Max 42 build by Matt & Jessica, the cruising community is getting a master class in catamaran construction. Thanks for the excellent material!
Cheers! We’ll be bringing you a lot more very soon!
Amazing insight. Really makes Seawind stand above the pack. There’s a security a customer needs to feel comfortable with the workmanship of a craft their lives depend on. Great job.
Seeing those behind the scenes manufacturing clips must absolutely build your confidence in the strength of the base boat design then. Cough, Sailing Parlay Revival disaster, cough. Love those linear fore and aft webs too that are cast into the hull too. So good.
Yaaasssss! Absolutely LOVE getting to see more detail! Seeing how they chose to define each section of the mould and how they designed the structural elements is amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Loads more to come
Supershow. The technical is what tells how strong the boat will end up being. The molds themselves are quite beautiful. The big red boat. Happy Trails
The technical stuff is pure gold. Please keep it up.
I can only imagine how excited you are. We are in the early planning stages of our dream home, retirement is less than a year away, and I have bit of that excitement as well.
I've owned hot rod boats almost all my adult life, and at 62 the changes I've seen in the tech that goes into hull construction are simply astounding. I don't think you could have picked a better time to do this, the infusion process and the tech in the glass and bonding agents have been sorted pretty well, and carbon...well carbon is changing the world.
Love this stuff,,,the tech and the actual build, the "dirty hands part", as it were.Can't wait to see more.
Resin infusion is great , but they did regular wet layup for the outer skins of glass against the water.
The double scored foam has been around for 35 years I was vacuum Bagging foam into hulls in 1991 and Jeremy Rodgers was producing similar hulls in the 80’s by RTM vac-assist an early cushion of the infusion process that requires more tooling but a lot less wasted plastic , hose , bagging films etc
But this is a great build with NO WOOD IN STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. Very glad to see all wood rots in fiberglass boats!
Cheers Warren
agreed. I was using this to make Kyacks in the early 90s. and my Privledge 39 was made using this same process in 92
The wood rots under the fiberglass, whether the wood is totally encapsulated or just covered with glass on the top.
8:10 - We ALWAYS want extra "Nerd Points". More!!! More!!! This is probably the best boat production video ever produced!
Hahahaha mate. WHEN I get to Vietnam, I am going to woo you with all sorts of daily nerd updates
Having done vacuum bagging on a very small scale it was cool to see the miles of tubing involved in a project of this size. This will be a very nice boat!
I know you guys must be extremely excited that your hulls is next and Nick must be happy to geek out on the technical side of the boat build. Well done episode 🍺🍺
Cheers mate
Now, that was riveting, without a single rivet in sight! I couldn't not watch. Fascinating. Thanks for showing.
Cant wait for the cabinet install episode and the quality gushing on the wood fitment.
Fascinating overall and amazing to see the vacuum infusion time lapse!
So exciting to see the hull come together. Looking forward to the next episode already!
Incredibly interesting! Thanks for pulling the curtain back on an amazing build.
Oh and Teresa you are so flipping cute with your intro and closing! So excited for you!
In my younger days I worked as a shipwright and boat builder ( I am now in my seventies). What you are showing in your videos is blowing me away. One thing comes to mind, It is not an inexpensive build. I am loving what you two are doing and thanks for sharing it with us all. Regards, Nick.
A pleasure mate
Great to see the detailed way everything is being put together. Looking forward to witnessing the process through your great videos. Don't skimp on any of the technical stuff Nick. I for one totally enjoy it.
Your wish is my command! More nerdy stuff coming your way
Thanks Nick. Love the technical stuff too.
@@sailingrubyrose @Clayton Firth Same.
You look so happy …and beautiful Terysa. Hope your builder is ready for a major sales boom… Fantastic job on the narration, Nick.
I'm aroused 😎 You can see how much Seawind take pride in every step of the process. That hull will still be sailing when we are all compost. Your forensic analysis during the selection process has paid off.
I saw this process on the Seawind channel a few weeks ago... It made me want a Seawind more than anything. Congratulations guys, your boat is going to be the best thing on the water.....
Ah thank you so much. She is going to be amazing
Fabulous tour. Excellent commentary, Nick. I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you both.
A pleasure mate
Yep excited for you and what a lovely looking hull,, can't wait to see more ty guy's.
As a former boat builder I really liked this video!
Ah cheers mate. High praise indeed
Would love a cross section to actually see the thickness of the various layers. Impressive!
One of the better vids I’ve seen on mold builds and glassing - thanks for putting it together!
Absolute pleasure mate
My first shock when first seeing the core material shinning through, "Oh Jesus, they are using Balsa!"
However, then Mr. Nick's calm, assuring voice-over quickly made clear that this was in fact not the case.
Seawind has done a fantastic job of utilising technology to create a hull that is far superior to many other manufacturers. I hope all the rest of the bulkheads are fitted with the same precision. I am looking forward to the rest of the build series, cheers
Rustie.🍺🦘
Cheers Rustie
Fabulous, this is going to be something else, can't wait to see the finished article, no wonder you're excited.
Sorry in advance for this naïve comment, "Dang, that's a BIG boat!" I love to see the method to make it. Amazing!
They haven't left a lot of bulkhead surrounding those doorways. I'm sure it's all engineered, but it gave me chills having just watched SPR's bulkhead issues.
Great episode! Keep the technical stuff coming!
Its carbon fibre laminate not a single unlamated piece of plywood
Qualified boatbuilder here 30 years I'm sure you're aware but I was very impressed by you're boat build video quality build there for sure !
Thanks mate. That’s great validation
By the way, Nick you have the perfect voice for doing that kind of voice-over. I don't know how many takes it took you, but it is just so smooth and I want to say complete? I don't know what the right word is...
Ah thank you. *blushes in internet
Maybe you're looking for polished?
@@rumblechick73 Dulcet.
What a work of art, stunning, I would be going super impatient for my super hull #2!
We can’t wait! Not long now 😊
Sweet Poseidon, this boat is going to be amazing!
Amazing! What a difference from traditional fiberglass boat-building. Excellent video. Thanks.
Even with 20+ years of CNC experience, videos like this still fascinate me.
Glad you’re as fascinated as us mate
Fantastic report. Excellent, even. Thanking you both for the inspiration to sail someday.
i never have seen a process like this, so interesting, hope you share more, thanks so much
A pleasure. Lots more to come
So very, very excited for you two!
Stunning to see the process can't wait
Very timely! I've been trying to unlock the "secrets" of boat materials. So far I've found:
- Carbon fibers: Stronger, lighter, more expensive than fiberglass.
- Vinylester resin: Stronger, more expensive than polyester resin. Cheaper than epoxy.
- Foam core: More reliable than wood and lower water absorption. Divynycell foam core is one of the better ones.
So overall, it looks like you are getting great quality basic materials in the new boat!
Was so nice that you actually went through this process in a past episode ( the vacuum process)
So i was able to understand the process! Killer video 💪
Perfect video to watch after the bulkhead saga!
Ah yes, poor Colin
The attention to detail is astounding! It is becoming clearer why you selected this builder! Fascinating! Keep these coming please.
Cheers mate. Lots more to come
Can’t wait to see the next process in the build. So jealous of you two and RR2! Must have more to feed my addiction of the life I forgot to live. So I live vicariously through the two of you. ;)
Fascinating to watch! Cheers!
it is nice to see that the manufacturer has the confidence to video the build, what an advert! For us mere mortals it is awesome to see the detail and expertise used. Rather a different approach to the one I am used to, working in a wood specialist boatyard in the 1970's! Had a book written about it, that process being very old a bit like me!
That's just crazy. I understand everything you just showed and am blown away. That boat is excellent value for money. cheers.
Excellent work Seawind. SUPER excited for you guys. Thanks for taking us through the build process with you. It is truly fascinating. 👍😊
Looks like it will be hell for stout! That's quite the process. Looking forward to see more of the build!
Super stoked! 🤙🏽🍻👏
I am so happy for you all...buying a boat from a manufacturer that actually knows how to lay up fiberglass in today's modern fiberglass manufacturing model. Some of the other YT channel folks are really suffering from other sub-standard manufactured boats. What a machine you all will have.
Yeah we are pretty excited
Stunning. Happy days
Thanks for the info on the build 👍 can’t wait to see Ruby Rose in the water and crossing the pond.
This is unreal that you are able to capture this footage and make it available for us. The detail in here is much deeper than it might appear on the surface, as Im just learning more about boat construction and beginning some fiberglass builds myself, the difference between armature hour and a professional piece of glass is really incredible. Seeing the infusion process is really eye opening and Im eternally grateful the hull popped out of the mold without any damage (that seems to be the scariest part of the whole build). Theres less fiberglass matting than I would have thought there was, somehow I thought it would be at least 4+ layers of triaxial on both sides of the foam core but that looks pretty clean and Im sure its exceptionally strong with all the cad work. Somewhat sad that theres so much wasted material in the build process (vacuum bag/lines/plug/etc) but compared to the wasted materials that go into each home its really not that bad if its for a live aboard family.
Yeah, it's crazy just how thin you can get away with in the laminations due to the sandwich construction! I've been working on a cat design for a bit and while I have basically zero experience to design the layup, I've just defaulted to 4 layers on either side of the core as a "rough estimate for weight estimations" and suspect that in many areas it's massively overboard. Though of course, it would be insufficient in other areas, so I figure it should work out as a basic "this is roughly how much cloth/resin/core will be needed".
Really really interesting 🤔 am really looking forward to seeing it all come together
That was so cool! This former architecture student loved seeing the CAD drawings and the fabrication process. Definitely geeking out over here!
T’s Australian accent thickened so much 😂👍🏻
Very endearing I think. Nick is a lucky man. And I suppose T is a lucky girl.
The commentary was extremely well done. On point with the imagery, not too technical - easy to follow and leaving room for wanting more. Great job putting that raw footage together. Outstanding!
Absolute pleasure mate. Lots more to come
Thanks for the behind the scenes molding of the hull. Glad RR2 is Hull#2, you get all mistakes on hull #1 corrected on your build (LOL). She will be an amazing vessel. Fair winds and following seas Ruby Rose.
Wow, very interesting. That's going to be an incredible vessel. I'm really looking forward to seeing the final product.
Us too mate
Wow, this is VERY impressive! Thank you for sharing this unique look behind the scenes!
Absolute pleasure mate. Glad you enjoyed it
That's pog af. So glad Seawind is capturing some great footage and sending it on to you guys :)
Fascinating!!!
Love the behind the scenes boat build, so interesting!!
Amazing. This is the Cat that I would buy for sure. Looks beautiful and I am not at all surprised you are super excited to get Ruby Rose 2. Love your journey always fun and informative. I would love to be out there one day on my own Seawind Cat.
The dream is getting real for you. Amazing!
Damn, that is a lot of pipe-work for the vaccuum infusion!
It's really interesting to see the processes involved, looking forward to more of this.
Made me wonder how they make those hose hoses multi-use ... I can't see how they can just rinse them after a use and use them again?
@@EdwardTilley I don't know if they re-use the hoses, but flushing them with acetone would clean them up. Several factors to take into account - the hose material and cost; will acetone degrade the hose? unlikely but something to consider, and is it cheaper to discard gallons of acetone/resin rather than replace the hose? Then you have many gallons of sticky acetone sitting around until the acetone evaporates off, this isn't a quick process and carries a huge fire risk.
I suspect the hose is single use.
@@2212db I think you're right. A part of the cost of the construction, and seeing the strength you get from so much less material, I should think that hose cost amounts to a savings overall. That carbon fibre isn't cheap though. You are looking at around $300 for a sheet the size of a piece of plywood, unless I'm mistaken. I'd actually like to see how they make the keel superficial and replaceable- and even how they could build in a light weight double-hull. Gets a busy mind turning - as if this solution isn't already complex enough. This made me think that just a ply or two of carbon the length of the keel and an inch above it would keep out any reefing-damage seawater - and then if you wanted bulletproof as well, a single sheet of kevlar around a saferoom. Am definitely overthinking this, but now is the time.
@@EdwardTilley in the grand scheme of things, a few thousands on single use hose isn't a big deal.
@@2212db buying a new plastic pipe is definitely cheaper than cleaning with solvent / acetone
I’m no sailer, but I can appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that goes into this build. It’s really amazing and I’m really excited to see the rest of the build. 🇬🇧
Thanks mate. We’re super excited as well 😉
Going to be a beautiful boat. So excited for you!!
Amazing to discover all this high-tech building process! What a show!
Thank you to sharing these steps, very interesting!
Very cool. Can't wait to see you guys crossing seas in your's.
This was fascinating to hear about. I’ve been excited to watch this build. Thanks for the great detail.
A pleasure Lydia
Chill grandma
Awesome report. Glass boat building has come a long way since the 50's.
Gorgeous and so cool to see it happen thanks for taking the time to film and share this whole process!!! ❤️🔥
Wow. That was fascinating. I am so happy and excited for you both. Thank you for sharing this process and your knowledge. I am a huge fan of your videos. Hold your heads high with pride. Strong work. Level vibes, as always.
What an amazing episode and thankyou for taking us along on the journey. I love the attention to detail, and yes, Lagoon can learn something from this. Can't wait to see more episodes on your build
This is so exciting! How awesome is this great start on your new boat. Look forward to coming on this journey with you through your videos. So interesting for us landlubbers to see. Thank you. 😎
"Super clever, super fast, super sturdy, super light" and yet you're only so excited? I really wanted to hear that you were super excited 😀
Very interesting. Truly excited for you.
That baby is going to fly!
Proud of you guys great job
Great video this week , amazing how much work is put into the build of the catamarans.
It looks so good I can’t wait to see the build as it progresses
Us too mate
Awesome! I think I'm almost as excited as you are.
Ah thanks. Lovely sentiment Ember
Awesome!! , thank you for sharing this !
Looks alot stronger than a lagoon 450. Parlay revival videos with cracked bulkheads look like a disaster. Great insight to catamaran construction. Cant wait to see the rest of the build.
Superb !
After reading most of the comments, what I take away from them is that we have a wonderful, close knit community of yacht UA-camrs here. We all care about Colin and what he's going through. As Plukky would say 'nice one PEEPOL'.
See you out there next year hopefully.
The final product will be amazing, and this show a lot of hard work congratulations.
And one for the algorithm lol congratulations guys, absolutely love the new design. It’s going to be outstanding. Indeed
Very exciting, Looks fantastic!
Super awesome video! So great to actually see the build! Thanks!!
