Building a custom bespoke carbon fiber bimini seems like a great idea. We have a Beneteau 49 sailboat and the bimini is falling off, so why not! This is the first step in the ACTUAL hardtop, everything leading up to this point.
Shorter episode because well, the next one is exciting :-)
Sit back enjoy and subscribe!
Thanks all

@Najitaka 3 месяца назад

This has been a ton of work. If this fits and works the first time, you two need to open a boat top shop when you are done with your world tour. If it doesn't work, try try again. I'm still worried about big gusts of wind turning your boat into a kite or ripping it off, but I trust you two will figure it out.

@JWW60 2 месяца назад

@BennettLongway 3 месяца назад

Very exciting. It does add dimension to the boat. The profile view has nice symmetry from the top of the arch to the waterline. I would imagine a few nerves in your stomach as it starts to piece together. Ben Newport Beach, CA

@thomasgraham5842 2 месяца назад

HI guys , having worked in a glassfiber factory for a few years making parts for coaches and some boats , i know you are going to reinforce where the new legs bolt to the hull , a structure is only as strong as its weakest link . and to reinforce where the bolts intrude into the hull on the inside can only be a good thing , just saying is all . love youre channel and what you are doing , looks fantastic .keep up the great work .

@SJones-f9o Месяц назад

A quick layer of glass on your form will make it ok to bag to. PM if you want some more suggests.

Comment, commenty comment, algorithm balborithm, YOU GUYS ROCK!

@zakwhite7645 2 месяца назад

CONCERN CONCERN!!!! Bret, your bolts on your Carbon Fiber wings attachment to the boat, need a metal stock plate that you screw into. Inside your wing and under your boat fiberglass. Currently you have a 1.5" washer/bolt. Over time those fibers are going to wear. Take anything plastic and move it back and forth enough times and you will have 2 pieces. Same theory with your 2 bolt holes for your carbon wings.

@davidt1621 2 месяца назад

You can add paint to epoxy to make marbled glossy colors like the one Jade made with the nail paint. There's a lot of RU-vidrs who make fake marble countertops and shower enclosures with this method. It's beautiful, quick, cheap, easy, lightweight.

@ldno3747 3 месяца назад

Do not forget to preplace conduit runs before you close up all the foam... It's easier to do it now then cut in channels later.

@Kevin15301 3 месяца назад

What a great project Way to go

@davidt1621 2 месяца назад

You can just wrap it with cheap regular vinyl film wrap, like what's used on car wraps, to cover your amateur non-prepreg carbon fiber part. Then it's waterproof, lightweight, and beautiful. Super easy fix and every color you could ever imagine, glossy or matte or whatever you please just like car wraps.

@paulsmith6553 2 месяца назад

This carbon fiber layout is a very labor intensive project, but the results are very impressive. I did not realize that the foam in the stanchions would be removed. So, is there a threaded boss that is part of the assemblies that facilate fastening the sections together? Good work you two!

@paladine6 2 месяца назад

You should watch videos from Spear It Animal channel. They have same boat class and added a new hard top like that, but they raised their boom to get it higher so more room to stand under. Also added a stripper pole on top lol.

That boat better be fast. Looks a bit like a '71 Dodge Daytona, and what's not to like about that. A bit more curve, though. Super job, and gives your boat a very customized look, I think. But then, I know nothing about boats.

@badcat4707 3 месяца назад

Well its progress , but the way you've patch worked the black carbon fibreglass in some ares and not others is rather puzzling to me ? ( and maybe others too ? ) as there's 2 large sections and then nothing on other large sections of the green styrofoam . Hope this gets explained in next weeks video 👍🙏😸

@balaenopteramusculus 3 месяца назад

I am guessing only the ribs to shave down costs? For the rest the fiber will mostly likely suffice.

@coralgwyn-williams9933 2 месяца назад

random question since I love your videos but know less than nothing about sailing...will the new hardtop compromise the stability of the boat as far as wind goes?
