Your dedication to this build is remarkable ... and equal parts nuts and admirable. At this point you're way past "in for a penny, in for a pound" and have to see it through, but I wonder how many times you've asked yourselves "what've we gotten ourselves into?" in the past 3+ years? The world'd be a better place if more people had your strength and perseverance.
Matt, your a true professional. I can't imagine after only 6 months and such a great primer coat, how long the completed project will take? Fantastic job guys, you guys are true craft people, love the new glasses!
Part of the reason for the six month process in this, is once we had the wooden template steps up, we could not make new sheets of fiberglass to build portions of the steps and storage until the ambient temperature in the tent was above 65. So there was a three month period where we had to ignore this project before moving forward. 😃
matt, That was quite a project getting the helm station the way you wanted it. Jess a great edit showing some of the extensive work it took. It really has that ' from the factory' look too. Cheer warren
wow watching that horrible green board disappear, and turn white, fantastic, can't wait till all of the boat is primed....I applaud your drive and persistence with this project....I'm hoping for a splash next spring...cheers guys
As an artist and DIY'er, and as much as I love the water, I don't think I could do it. But Bless your heart for not only taking this on, but sticking with this huge challenge. Full Cred.
Genuinely impressed with "6 months in 6 minutes" section showing the work you put in! Phenomenal. And it really does look great - owners cabin and helm are very impressive with primer on. That sports car was pretty darned impressive, too. Genuine question - do you have to literally scrub hard in the shower some days to get off the various coatings you must get on you? I mean more than just soap and water - a scouring pad, for example. Maybe I'm particularly attractive to paint and it's relatives.
To be honest, each day I go in the shower with a loofah and body soap, and whatever doesn't come off with that just stays on because I'm too tired and too lazy to really do anything about it, haha.
@@MJSailing I'm with you on that! You absolutely work darned hard day after day! And I'd do the same as you - but I do get frustrated when some things just don't want to be removed!
Looks really good guys. Well done. You have done such a great job integrating your custom helm area into the boat, with a coat of primer it looks seamless. This must be a great motivator for you both 👍
Good for you! This is an EXCELLENT episode. You are both so methodical that being able to see it all get figured out and then put together through to the primer in this way is VERY powerful! And the playlist you chose (love "Pandemonium", nice touch) really made it feel like we were there with you, at least for me it did! Gorgeous work!
I LOVED the "6 months in 6 minutes" take! I don't think I've seen you do that before. Like I said in your "short". Looks great! As a side note, that access hole panel under the helm ad on would be a great place for accent lighting to the steps.
I love your persistence on a big project. The stairs look great, are you putting in stair lighting? Also how and when do you start making electrical provisions like conduit. I found on some of my projects putting conduit in even if it doesn't get used later before an area loses access. Just a thought I'm not a boatie.
Excellent! - I am curious if the fiber glassing done? possibly some in the engine area? Now trying to envision the floor material and what I would want it to feel like on bare feet. Then would I want to run it continuously from the outside through the main galley. Not sure I would want natural cork- unless it was a no wax or polish product. toured a old aircraft carrier- liked how the old linoleum felt-- which I think had cork and linseed oil in it- plus then being polished. keep thinking replaceable carpet treads on the stairs- swap them out every few years. possibly were they snap on.
Be on the lookout, on July 25th there was a young man who had just purchased his dream boat. It was at Kent Island. Someone ransacked it, stealing everything they could destroyed anything they couldn't. So, just keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
Well, others will say: - Genuinely impressed with "6 months in 6 minutes" section showing the work you put in! Phenomenal! - The helm looks great. Jess, very nice work on the time lapse. - That helm station recap was impressive! - MONTAGE ~ you've GOT to have a montage! - Great editing skills. - I LOVED the "6 months in 6 minutes" take! I don't think I've seen you do that before. Hope this helps answer your question! 😃
This is one of the longest builds I have ever seen. Fifty percent of the shows are them traveling or partying. Wouldn't it be nice if they focus on getting built? And they're shows be more About getting it done
With being in the tent 7 days a week for 8 weeks at a time, I would LOVE to know when all this partying is taking place. Sign me up!! I could use the break.
@@MJSailing I am sorry maybe I was annoyed about the other site e was trying to tell us something and the music drown his voice ... the music was ok .. I do like that you tell us what is happening with the build nothing wrong with the music it was just me at the time ... Alan
What a waste of time on this build. By the time you ever get it finished you will have wasted 4-6 years of sailing. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow. Oh, and a self build means no warranty once things don’t work as expected. Every sailor knows new boats always have problems. Foolish…
is great sense of accomplishment when one fashions something great with your own hands. It cant be measured and when she goes out to say you may want to build anouther because it was so much fun.
