I never would have thought that I would find naval architecture so interesting! What a great team and fascinating logic and engineering behind the Seawind! I could listen to Miryong talk about architecture all day long.
Wow - what a great interview! Miryong is incredible, totally eloquent and in what must be her 3rd (?) language. Clearly a very talented architect, lucky Seawind - Ruby Rose II will be amazing!
Four languages that have nothing in common with each other. Gives you an idea of how brilliant she is! I do hope she sees thes comments. Miryong, tu m’impressionnes énormément!
As a boat builder myself I really appreciated her approach. I take a very similar approach, 1st what systems have to be in place and next how can I maximize the usable space and make it blend and look beautiful at the same time. Not all naval architects get the later parts, some get fixated simply on systems and it seems an after thought to make good use of space and make it pleasing to the eye.
Oh for sure, we've definitely seen plenty of evidence of that. But I think cruisers expect some nod to comfort and beautiful design now, particularly liveaboards. Miryong has done an amazing job.
Would it be possible to ask them if it is possible to incorporate an Eco Drive ( Similar to what is used with HH44 and HH52) with the required solar array and battery bank with the 1730?
Such an insightful interview with the wonderful Miryong! Please do more interviews like this--we get to learn so much about the thousands of behind-the-scenes decisions that go into boat design and building.

Charming, Humble and Super Talented: Miryong Yee is a real gem. Nice how she combines her talents from regular architecture and adds that to naval architecture. Seawind has a winner here. Happy Trails
Best build interview. And there has been a lot on UT these days. I was not expecting as interesting conversation, but the designer was very interesting and you guys had a great vibe. Thanks!
Wow, what a bad ass! She must be one of a handful of women developing and designing boats in the whole world! And no wonder. Her crossover knowledge from land architecture is obviously changing the whole approach to the 1370. I suspect she will get her wish to design superyachts some day.
Great interview! One comment from a foreigner with English NOT his mother tongue: why you didn't have subtitles when Nick is speaking? He has a thick accent....she is perfectly understandable....to me. Just looking aka listening from non-anglo phonetic perspective ...BUT Bravo! for you both 👏😜

Miryong, like Antoin , was quite comfortable and proficient at explaining her objectives and design responsibilities in what is obviously an foreign language for both. I fear the language barrier is competing with Nicks difficulties grasping the technical details. It’s understandable that would lead to confusion. I would be more satisfied having the person with real expertise answer the question at hand and be given the opportunity to provide clarification . I apologize for any perceived criticism, but I think Miryong was improperly portrayed as the interior designer of your new boat instead of one of the contributing naval architects. She may not be the principal for structural or hydrodynamic details, but could certainly offer more insight into how they may compliment her responsibilities. ..just sayin
Seriously, along with some of your explanations of Vietnam life & people, this is one of your best, guys. What you are showing us is not only good for all of us, I can't imagine the value you are providing for Seawind & the catamaran community. Seawind can be so proud of their entire team, but especially this person. The imagination, style & practicality is super impressive. Thank you 🙏✌️
Miryong has such talent and meticulous attention to detail. She handled being the subject of an interview for 154,000 suscribers quite well. On-camera interviews with microphones clipped to your shirt is very challenging and not in most peoples "normal" activity. Great questions Nick. I loved that you drove into the creative process and visual perspective rather an sailing jibber jaber. The 1370 is very pleasing to the eye. I can't wait to get your thoughts on how it sails.
I honestly believe the world would be a better place if our youth looked up to people like Miryong instead of singers and actors. Well I'm referring to singers and actors in the States for clarification.
Her English is excellent...with a North American accent...most likely also tri-lingual or more...very intelligent. Ah, now i see the comments and replies.
That was very interesting Nick, the "look" of the interior is quite unique and now we know why. Miryong's background in architecture is obvious (now that we know) and in a sense reminds me of the first cruising cat I fell in love with. Way back when, Chris White designed the Atlantic 40 and his center cockpit concept not only accommodated the needs of the sailor but also lent itself to the twin queen sized berths astride the cockpit. This was radical at the time and always made me think of terrestrial architecture because every space on the boat was just like you'd find in a small home.
Hopefully Miryong will tackle an update to the Corsair 760, that might just give her the "race boat" challenge she was talking about while remaining with Seawind.
What a great interview with a beautiful and talented woman. This should be shown in every high school in the world and the fact that she could explain the engineering in multible languages is incredibly inspiring.
My dads best friend was an interior builder for wellcraft In Sarasota (srq) in the 70’s, I have so much more respect for his job now. And the cabinet he built for me lasted many years. Thanks I learned a bunch. Yes the boat does look bigger because it’s there is more of it. Lol😊
Yeah, ask them if it is possible to incorporate an Eco Drive ( Similar to what is used with HH44 and HH52) with the required solar array and battery bank with the 1730?
Utterly fascinating. The whole concept of combing building architecture to define a visually appealing living space with the lightweight construction demanded in a performance cat has resulting in a very appealing and functional set of living spaces that are just gorgeous. Well done to Miryong and her team along with the Seawind construction teams. The 1370 is going to be a truly beautiful boat, inside and out.
Learning skills is one thing, and learning them well is very apparent here. HOWEVER, bringing style, panache, elegance and originality to the project shows just how competent Yee Miryong is. Thank you for sharing this great insight!
Great interview. Deck surface design suggestion: theres a used Knyssa 500 on YT that Nautilus Management offered a few months ago. It had a gorgy black trampoline mesh with cork deck on that vid at four minutes 15 sec's. Those colors work very well!
Wow. She has done some serious PhD education levels and maybe more. Extremely interesting. She hopes to continue growing and developing in her career. I’m thinking one day she may be a leader in her profession, maybe papers, books etc. looks like you guys made a GREAT choice in company to partner with. Best of luck. I can’t wait to see RR2 in action ❤
@@sailingrubyrose Oh really, there's competition? OK, perhaps I'll start by impressing her with my high school German. From 20 years ago. That I don't remember. Snell! I might just Timothy Dalton it, The Rocketeer style. Then I'll explain that Mayo is too spicy while I collapse from heat stroke. As I hate humidity. I've got this.
I’ve seen several build videos, but this is the first Navel Architect that makes sense which makes it much easier to understand what they do and why. Great interview and introduction to the rest of the design team.
Nick... fascinating video! As an architect myself it was so interesting to hear from the designer and the integration of traditional architecture into naval architecture.
Absolutely fantastic episode Nick and Teresa. I found this to be very interesting. Being able to design boats isn't my dream job, but it's close. Thank you. I would be interested in finding out what 3D-CAD platform they use?
Please ask them if it is possible to incorporate an Eco Drive ( Similar to what is used with HH44 and HH52) with the required solar array and battery bank with the 1730?
Naval architecture is more the hydrodynamics of hulls, etc. It doesn't have as much to do with interior (or topsides) design. They're really separate topics with a little bit of overlap. But yes, the interior design is very nice.
That was a real bonus interviewing Miryong. Bringing her wealth of knowledge and experience to the design makes for a vessel so close to what you both wished for from the onset. I can’t wait to see it all come together. Thank you for another excellent video!
Did you accidentally put English subtitles there when Miryong is speaking in the video. I would say that understanding Nick's accent and dialect would benefit more from subtitles..
Bahahahaha. We put subtitles not because Mi Ryong speaks anything but perfect English, but because some of our audience struggle with accents. We learned this from interviewing Antoine with his French’s accent. To me it was 100% easy to understand. But not to all
@@sailingrubyrose English is tricky, since it's more like a family of languages, dialects and accents. Even Americans are under the illusion that they speak English. And then the British.. difficult to say what some of them are actually speaking. Unfortunately so very few speak the Queen's English. Others are so difficult to understand and she is no more with us.
Another spectacular video! Perhaps the best one for me. What a super professional team, and standing applause for Miryong's wonderful innovations! Thank you again for sharing, Kevin
Great episode. Seawind is lucky to have hired/discovered Miryong. Obviously wicked smart and talented. She speaks Vietnamese, French and English that we know about. Standard architecture design and then naval architecture. That explains why the 1370 is such a beautiful boat, both inside and out.
So enjoyed this interview with very gifted Miryong & her Team. Miryong’s creativity developed into clever practical application, resulting in such beauty to enjoy everywhere & way on the SW1330, has been very informative and pleasurable to see. Giving credit where credit is due is respect 🎉 Nicely done! Good work Nick, Thanks!
That was the most interesting interview you have ever done. As I am currently playing around with the design of a small studio apartment for myself I can appreciate some of the challenges she has. Wish I knew even just a small fraction of what she knows.
Just one opinion, but I thought this was incredibly informative. That lady is brilliant, and has a future ahead of her. It is a rare gift to be able to fuse the "required/necessary" with the things that please the human eye, and bring form through to follow function in a way that resembles art. Hearing her speak about the process was a real treat.
