Hello Matt, My name is Scott Davis. Mike Plant was my step father, I am very happy to see someone doing something with Duracell. That boat holds many memories for me and my family. I wish you the best of luck with this and if you need any advice I have been building composite race boats and components for the last 25 years.

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Scott! So great to hear from you. We are so happy that you are excited about the project. I always need advice on various projects and will keep you in the loop. Send an email to theduracellproject@gmail.com and we can chat more. Thanks for writing.

@5:23 Matt channeling his Jack Torrance from The Shining look here. 😂

@jameslawson8193 2 года назад

I wish your episodes were longer. 20-30 minutes is perfect IMO for boat refit vids

@sailingbrewer 2 года назад

You should have kept the tanks in tack for floatation, or freshwater. I mean you have sold water tight tanks. Just a thought.

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

We will be cutting down the bigger tanks, but not eliminating them, and using them for fresh water. Each tank will carry 500 gals of fresh water.

I loved looking at the blueprints. The photos of Louise were so helpful too! I will definitely stay tuned!

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and great to hang out with you the other day!

Nice your mate Scott is a Rigger. Same mainly Mechanical and Demolition Rigging add Industrial Abseiling etc. I’m catching up binging. My Grandfather was a Shipwright and then served in the Merchant Navy WW1 etc. His hand tools had his fingers worn into the handles. The last boat he built was a speed boat project with his son, my uncle when he was 18. I was 3-4.

Your friend Scott has good pedigree, J24 sailors have a great sailing skills!

This is a great series, I was so confused as to how you came across this project and how you could afford it. I watched the series from the beginning and I am excited for you brother! I’m in Coos Bay Oregon I look forward to seeing you around the PNW! I got a little 26er

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Hi Josh! Hopefully we'll be passing through Coos Bay in just about 3 years. We'll say hello :)

@ericd7975 2 года назад

Loving this project. Just found your channel and I’m enjoying catching up on your cache of episodes. This project is huge and just so different . Will be tuning in at every opportunity to watch this rebuild . Cheers Eric

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

glad to have you along for the ride, Eric.

@dray050653 2 года назад

Nice modification for Duracell! Keep up the progress!

@lindaperkins4571 2 года назад

So happy I get to follow along! So excited for you!

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Linda!! Thanks for watching!! Hope to get to show you the boat soon ;-)

@jameshardesty4611 2 года назад

What are your plans for the keel? Swing, Center board, Shallow draft. It would be nice to still have the tall rig and take advantage of the boats performance.

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

That’s a big question to answer. The short answer is we want to make the keel shorter (than 12’) and the rig shorter. We have to find a mast before the keel can be redesigned. We have a ways to go.

I can't be patreon but for your channel, i watch almostall ads and click on them. Keep cutting :)

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Thank you! We appreciate any support you can give :-)

well done, i'm really excited how it will look like with the new doghouse

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Thanks! We're excited too.

@freaktty01 2 года назад

Very nice project! I'll follow it from the Netherlands!

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Thanks for following along!

@jimedson3853 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. It appears that you have a great idea for what you want.👍

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Thank you! We’re so excited to see it come together.

@johnmichaels2495 2 года назад

So where are you putting the traveler then?

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Hey, good question. The traveler bulkhead is getting extended up to be the aft wall of the doghouse, as you have seen. There are 2 options as I see it. I'm either going to put the traveler on top of the doghouse, or ditch the traveler and do a bridle system. I'm actually leaning towards the latter. Either way that area is going to be heavily built to accept either.

@richardmclaren8549 2 года назад

Matt love your work. What design was Louise and where is she now? 🐟

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Louise is a 39 foot foot, home designed and home built sloop by a good friend of mine in Seattle who lived on Louise for 35 years, then sold it to us in 2016. We loved Louise. We sold Louise to a deserving sailor in Bellingham about a year ago.

@Acrowat40 2 года назад

Awesome - great series! Out of interest (may have missed it), but why does the bulkhead need to be moved back? Just for better space?

@lego720 2 года назад

My thoughts exactly! Seems like the main bulkhead was strategically placed exactly where it needs to be.

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

Thank you!! For the layout to work, while making as few modifications to the structure as possible, I had to move the bulkhead. If I keep it where it is, the benches in the doghouse and the beds underneath would either be almost 8 ft long, or the old bulkhead would be right down the middle of the living space. It's hard to explain, and I hope that I can do a better job of showing how it will work in the upcoming videos. Good question.

@Acrowat40 2 года назад

@@TheDuracellProject cheers look forward to the updates!

@2dogsnight 2 года назад

What happened with Louise? Very pretty boat !

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

We sold Louise a few months back. Very very lovely and comfortable boat! Thanks!

@bdeneweth 2 года назад

Are you putting in new ballast tanks?

@TheDuracellProject 2 года назад

The big ballast tanks are forward in the boat. We'll be cutting those down and using them for fresh water, which will still be hikeable.

@blacksail8960 2 года назад

well, real mistake here :o

@hwntwww 2 года назад

not much happening

@imusuallycorrect 2 года назад

Disappointing that you're taking an old boat and going to make it look like a really old boat. With all the volume and freeboard of the old 60s you could do something a little more exciting.
