Ross, I don't know if you know this, but I think Janet's a keeper!

My car has more orange peel than that spray-job… 😵‍💫

@RobertWardwell-h1f Год назад

I've been watching for some time now and am amazed at your talent and perseverance. I was in the yacht repair business for 30 years and know exactly what you are encountering in the planning and execution. I was thinking that if I had found your site sooner I would have volunteered to come and work . No charge, just a bed and food. 86 now, but still am very active. In leaving, had a thought, are you going to be able to just relax and enjoy the boat. Or constantly fiddle with minor details. Give your wife a hug she is a rare woman . Bye Bob W.

@briantambling3918 Год назад

I love seeing rough surfaces painted. Really shows progress. I can't wait to see things installed

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Like watching paint dry at time mate, things are now being tidied up big time. Cheers and thanks for watching, Rossco

@daniematthysen780 Год назад

Looking great

@marcdesrosiers4312 Год назад

Great video keep them coming like watching all of them what is your time schedule to have the boat finished

@philkakid5617 Год назад

If you are worried about mold in the nacelles, I would recommend filling each one with two part urethane foam and capping them with fiberglass. That will give you more adhesive surface. Just a thought.

@bluebassboy32 Год назад

Yup that's what I'd do, it would also increase buoyancy in the bow, so if she does dig in she'd come straight back up...

@nickcooper14 Год назад

Go Rossco,Go. The big push is on to have her floating for a NYE 🎉🎉🍺🍺🍷🍷🍕🍕. Looking great guys🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺

@johnhaffenden9576 Год назад

Hi Ross, could you fill the nacelles with expending foam, then there would never be any problem with water and they would be so much stronger, great vlogs really enjoy the progress every week regards john

**************** has it been a year already? Being on the older side, time seems to pass really fast.

@ArcticSeaCamel Год назад

Phew! It's been a while since I've had really time to check your progress. Sometimes it feels that you've been working with this forever. At the same time it looks quite ready from many aspects! Keep it up!

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

You are correct, it feels like forever and your project is certainly coming along, I love watching your frames being built. The start of something amazing I reckon, keep at it, it is a long haul. Rossco

@ACatKrom Год назад

being around boats for a while, I can tell you there is no such thing as "can never get water in" the wavebreakers need a drain of some sort, even if its a garboard drain plug... If never get water in worked, no glass boat would ever need the stringers, or transom replaced.

Overhead sanding… You will have huge guns after…😎

@latitudeash Год назад

Looking good every video, great progress. Are you on plan to Janet’s schedule?.

@christophermitchell8986 Год назад

When you make a serial number to register the ship, you should try to incorporate Rosco in it somewhere. The rosco man sond is always playing in the background. Edit: the ship class is the Rosco 50.

Would that be sung to the Village People Macho Man?

@Baj64 Год назад

Are you going to paint some kind of decorations on the hull ? Everybody knows a line or two make anything go faster… Ask John, he's into cars, he'll tell you ! ^^

Great work again big fella. Enjoyed my coffee watching this episode ❤️💪💪

Good stuff Bewsey. Good to hear you could relax a bit.Haha.

You don’t want drips in the flocoat in your Necelles, heaven forbid!🤣😂😅

Has to be perfect Brian, no compromise mate, Janet understands this ocd of mine.

@latitudeash Год назад

Digging a hole with a hammer! Come on Ross your better than that…🤣😂. When everything looks like a nail…..😜

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Whatever is close at hand when I am frustrated gets picked up and used.There is a manic button in my method some days and I like to get on with it, whatever the consequences.Ypu are right mate, should have opened my eyes and mind a bit.

@eshootziscrs2868 Год назад

Ross, I think you'll do best with just an open hole in the bottom of your nacell. Any check valve will cause a vacuum when the temperature drops which will suck in water. Either seal it completely or leave it open enough to drain. Heck install a round exhaust vent for screening.

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

I agree, they are totally sealed for now but I will likely put a bung plug in at its lowest point that can be drained and relieve pressure in extreme heat.Cheers.Rossci

@latitudeash Год назад

Why can’t you use the nacelles as extra fual tanks or even to store drinking water?

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

They would create a problem weight issue on the bow which would increase the pitching and hobby horsing, so in this case they will remain hollow.On many other cats they are positioned under the saloon and cabins so assist in weighing the boat down in the midships.

@k1los Год назад

Rossco, Rossco man! Love the videos, keep em coming.!

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Thanks! Will do mate, cheers Rossco

Fair play its here now

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Fill your boots mate.

@lets_go_see_ Год назад

You gave Janet a good chuckle... That's always a plus..

@mkllove Год назад

Ross, Could you perhaps "level" the irregularities like drywall installers do with taping mud or patching compound by using a flexible, wide putty knife or spatula tool ? I'm thinking pre-spray the wide edge of knife so it starts wet and draw over surface with just enough pressure to give you a level surface ? It will still need sanding, but a LOT less than before... The deflectors should stiffen that huge flat section of deck so it doesn't drum or magnify wave noise and spray hitting hull. Since the surface above is filled with chain lockers etc, maybe line bottoms with some removable tailored pieces of foam from boogie boards or similar elastic foam ?...Cheap, lightweight insulation to protect glass surfaces and removable for cleaning It may quiet that area from noise while under way, or early/late anchoring activities...

@eppot1 Год назад

Nice work u2.!!!👍

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Thanks mate

@nickcooper14 Год назад

I know a bunch of Lagoon people who would want some fibreglass scuppers👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 the nacelles make a huge difference. They also start lifting the bow before the big body slam.

@jimmydaniel1127 Год назад

Drill that tip out to a 1.8 u have a 1.4 in there will make ur life alot easier to spray the gelcoat i build solace boats for a living love the channel please try it thanks

@ross82 Год назад

You’re right about needing good luck if something wrong happens like a capsize, but as always, luck starts at the design/build stage. You should be able to navigate the entire boat blindfolded and have something to either hold or grip to wherever you “naturally” reach out for which is completely different from “can” or “could” reach for. This is important even if it’s just for orientation reasons.

@martinneubert4068 Год назад

you guys rock, very nice work as always. All the best to you.

@alstonofalltrades3142 Год назад

For those who don't know "why nacelles on a catamaran?" Well how else are you going to get about in your space ship in a quick manner Any serious Trekkie knows Zefram Cochrane's middle name was Rosco...

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Love it mate.I get that a lot.

@johnharrison9317 Год назад

Love hear you talking about finishing surfaces Ross. Brilliant progress, and amazing energy.

@LifeOnTheHulls Год назад

Thanks so much John, great to hear from you. Rossco

@brucebrown4480 Год назад

Hey Ross, there's a shovel there. That is a classic observation that I bet everyone one of us has made at some point. The tool that we need is nearby and we discover it halfway through the project we were working on. Funny.

@ralphgesler5110 Год назад

Did you properly fair the sides of the holes that were dug?

@normanboyes4983 Год назад

You are both making cracking progress.😀👍⛵️

I hope you realise that Janet is a rare - if not unique - treasure! Great progress, both of you. I'm seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Very much looking forward to splash day!

@ronsutterfield8430 Год назад

Ross, you and janet have built a very nice boat, good investment, i would think around 5-6 hundred thousand, very good job

@philkakid5617 Год назад

I just can't wrap my head around taking on a multiyear project like this, both in terms of time investment and financial. If you place any value on your time, there is no way that this can be a winning proposition. I would rather take the money being put into the build and buy a boat that might need some refurbishing, but not 5+ years! To each his own, I guess. And every time I hear the term "fair it in" I just cringe. Sounds so simple, but it's hours of work each time.

@kimberlydeann Год назад

I'm going to guess it's akin to catching the biggest brown trout of your life on a fly you tied yourself. Personal satisfaction.

@lets_go_see_ Год назад

Aw yes.>>>>>>>>>>>> That back side looks terrible. You will have to start over completely*****************Lol lol! You put as much effort into small details like this as one would put into a critical component....
