Gluing our New TRIMARAN Together! (Vietnam Factory) 

I think you should consider adopting me. I love being on the ocean, I’d be a great older brother to Lenny and Darwin, I’m willing to take watch, and given that I’m in my mid-40’s I won’t require much. Please let me know how great of a idea you think this is dare I call you mom and dad!?!?

Mom and dad, why don’t we store our new tender on the trampoline?

I can’t wait to see this tricycle on the water!!! It’s going to be sick!!!!!’

Any idea of the ETA?

I for one want to see how they properly heal the transom and the glass weight and schedule as well as the material used (type of wood/foam core/remboard...ect). I'd also like to know if they are using a skim coat of cab-o-sil or if they are using the proper 3 coat soak wet roll out. Either one is good and I tend to take the short cut anyway. Thanks

Agreed 🙂 (mine are 15 and 12)

So sweet 😋 💖

I laughed when she said that too.. cause every stage is the best

Mine are 35 and 33 and its fun!

I’m so so happy to hear this 🥲🥲

Agreed, they’ll see your investment into the build and increases their buy in and investment as the builders. It shows the love and care from both ends

This is fantastic behind the scenes coverage of the build that highlights the craftsmanship of these fine workers, but do you honestly thing Riley jumping in the "help" inspires them? I've built homes and boats and I think the last thing I would want is the owners 'helping out'. For me every time they were in there helping to me it just felt unnatural. Showing interest and documenting makes for better content IMHO.

@Jack Blah yeah 100% it'll inspire them. You spend all your time building these magnificent vessels and wonder where they will go and if or how much the owners will appreciate the work you put in. Just knowing they will be able to follow the adventures of this boat and see where she goes is inspiring for someone putting the work in every day, and it's lots of work! We had an owner do a similar thing with us once, and he wasn't nearly as happy as Riley, but it brought us immense joy even though he didn't have a clue what he was doing 🤣. But above all that it'll give Riley an intimate knowledge of his boat, a level of intelligence that you can't purchase with a finished boat that will help him immensely in the future.

@@steveburlace4518 Thanks for your thoughtful response. Being able to follow your work via their RU-vid channel is immeasurable, and I am now understanding your point about working alongside the owners, that there may be some camaraderie there. I think where we differ is I believe this could be achieved without actually trying to do the work but I get your point. Nick from Ruby Rose is doing an amazing job of documenting the build of their Seawind and has gone so far as to learn to speak Vietnamese. I can't wait to see both vessels on the water.

@@barnett25 Indeed very nice point.

Definitely

Yes

I second that! Love the footage guys! I’m pretty sure the boat will be a blast to sail and will get you wherever you want to go in a jiffy!

Underscore for the exterior finish, especially waterline and below - Many hours in sailing and cruising family videos are devoted to dealing with bottom fouling - How will your new 3-H be different or better? What surprises do you have for us?

Can anyone tell me how tight the fit is when sliding the pontoons into the main body aka hull of the yacht?! Just curious? 🤔

@Kevin Grimbeek Tight enough that they had to drill holes inside to let air escape when the akas were inserted. As the inserts appear slightly wedge-shaped and the amas were pulled in with truck-size ratchet straps, I suspect the surfaces bonded as completely as any vaccuum-bagged layers.

Nailed it Greg 👍

Poor Lenny looked like a wheel. Tyred!

what Lenny says, Darwin does. Order two crash helmets in a hurry

@@johnjones8572 😂 👍

I agree with this comment here 🍸 it’s all been a really good mix of videos and you are all such inspiring people. Thank You.

I agree as well! I love all aspects of it. Although I am excited to see how the interior finishes come along.

Yes, in some of the same kind of markets like that, I have felt very claustrophobic. And everyone is calling you like you're a walking dollar sign. Which is totally understandable. It is just quite different than we are used to.

@@Dachdogoriginal At least that market had nice wide isles and looked quite empty, compared to some of the markets my wife dragged me through in Jakarta. You really know you're a walking flashing neon $$$ sign when your wife drags you to the other side of the market and says wait here while I go haggle for that thing on the other side of the market 🤣maybe it's my Lilly white skin? but more likely it's my curly red mop 🤣

@@daveamies5031 OH yes, I get my local friends to go negotiate on bigger items. And NO I do not go with. Haha. Once I know the prices and the locals know me, I can now do that myself. Haha. But it was a rough road.

Straight from the original container would be much more rewarding 😆

It’s a little weirder If you don’t drink it out the carton 😂😂 I’m with you 100%

I moved out the day I turned 18 just so I could drink my milk straight out of the jug and am going to be 66 and have never poured a glass in my house (probably why my family buys their own) 🤭

@@bynoebynoe9677 gross bro, have a bit of respect

the best thing is, is that he there part of the build and he is learning every last wire/nook and craney on the boat. Nice boat = happy family

Yep, me too.

Hi there! You've a gorgeous picture on your profile! I just decided to stop by and say hi! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊

Lighting! Make it or break it, for sure!

If you are watching a movie with myself and Elayna in it then for at least 3 days someone has been helping us look after the kids. It’s almost like being back in Australia with the support of friends and family and a kindergarten to put Lenny in.

I agree, Neel trimarans have that to put the dinghy on

Yes!!

It's VegabondE. ⚘

It’s durian

@@AmyB369 nope, it's Jackfruit. They look similar. And Jackfruit can have an unpleasant odour too.

@@AmyB369 Both jackfruit and durian are thorny in appearance. They are both pungent in smell but have some distinct differences. Jackfruit has more bumps rather than thorns, making it possible to pick up jackfruit. The inside of it is interlaced with slimy fibers making it difficult to break down the fruit. Jackfruit is described as smelling like bubble gum, pineapple, banana, and rotten onions. And because of that last smell, it is sometimes banned in public places. Jackfruit averages about 2 feet long and can weigh up to 40 pounds.

@WayneWilliams Is the directional mast the same as the rotational?

This is a great idea!

Not to mention that the patina is highly toxic, and kids tend to lick everything...

* breathing And yes, it bothers me, as well. 😷

Bisphenol A is linked to the imasculation of the human species. Its an estrogen mimicker!!!!

People were complaining about this in the comment section of their last video as well. I think we shouldn’t be too quick to judge or criticize this high quality team and factory that have gone above and beyond to be accommodating. I started paying attention more closely, while watching after seeing comments like this, and if you’ll notice all of the massive bay doors at the end of the factory are wide open while they are in there working and filming. I do not think this is an enclosed space without ventilation and airflow from those massive bay doors. Working construction with my dad growing up, if we had doors like that open I’m sure my dad wouldn’t even have been wearing any mask at all lol the masks they are wearing and provided, coupled with the through ventilation, seems more than sufficient!

@@sailingtimshel its not about the team its about the Bisphenol. It is found widely in the water tables of population center sewer lines. It has been linked to male human infants not dropping reproductive organs. It is an estrogen mimmicker. Its looked down on in the US now so companies work with it in developing countries.

For her it’s mostly genetics.

Having watched this thread for the last 8 years, Elayna looks fitter / better today than the early years.
