Something that concerns me is how you have done the grey water drains , being that i live in a travel trailer, I have had to clean the drain pipes every couple years as they get coated with soap tooth paste hair food and most of all oil from washing dishes turns into basicly blocks of soap that eventually completely block the pipes. I think you have used water 90s on your drains , My travel trailer has minimum 1 1/4 drains with long run abs 90s for snaking and i still have problems .. I know you have closed up some areas but this will be a problem .

Education may explain how you can roll with the punches and be resilient. Tough guy not afraid of the journey . Best wishes for 2025

Great progress, guys! See you in the new year - happy holidays!

A question and an unsolicited opinion: Why do some of the stairs not have risers to support the treads? AND I believe Pex A to be superior in most applications than Pex B.

looks like you made good progress this week and the stairs into both hulls will be very helpful. I am curious why you will have a gray water tank instead of just direct discharge to the ocean? The only time I have seen gray tanks employed was in bigger monohull where the sink levels were below waterline so that they could not just have a simply open thru hull.

can you remember the name of the school? I went though the same process only at the age of 5, yes Five!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! One suggestion - I dont recall who posted the YT video but they put in a remote video security system - it did require some wiring access to cameras etc - something to keep in mind. It sounded like a great system that would alert them to motion or doors etc with video even when away from the boat. You may have already planned for this but just in case! Keep up the great work & stay healthy!

Thank you for being kind enough to answer my question about your childhood experiences of Europe. I too was a border, but at a school in my own country. I look forward to you relating some more details of your time in Europe in future episodes. Keep up your good progress. The Coconut palms are beckoning the three of you 🏝

Lots of great progress. Well done. What are your plans for surface fairing? I can imagine spending a couple weeks making all the tabbing and joists look "good enough for paint", or I can imagine spending months and months making all the surfaces look "near perfect". So how fastidious are you going to be with your fairing? I wish you good health and continued progress in the New Year. 🥳

Since your thinking about future potential problems, it might be a good idea to put in place lines in potential areas where you might want to add wires in the future. Better to have them in place rather than not. Just an idea, Happy New Year !

well done on the title of this weeks video, made me smile

Looking good.👍🏻👍🏻 Happy Holiday's Progress..

merry xmass and happy healthy new year to all !!! im supprised you arnt either hinging stair treads ofr putting hatches in risers usfull storage space for smaller things

Glad you're putting hatches in where your plumbing joints are. Been a plumber for over 25 years, and you will probably need access at some point. Hopefully not. Great progress again.

Merry Christmas and a Happy building New Year.🎄

I just love seeing how you make progress every week. I find this construction method quite fascinating and very clever. Do you know of any other boat using this same method? Best wishes to you all for 2025.

holland?lived there for 15 years! 6 years is enought om een beetje nederlands te kunnen praten?

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR😍😍😍😍🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

I'm not sure what's available but couldn't you put a bladder in the diesel tank that you can fill with water as you use the diesel and then drain back out when you refill? that way you can put the diesel anywhere for balance.

Mixing batteries in a bank is not always the best idea.

even on shore power your inverters will charge your batteries. That charger I would leave in Dinghy with extension cord. Then you have a charge source for the Dinghy. I would also consider 1 more of those so you can leave batteries in Dinghy. Moving them will be a pain.

Может быть не стоит снимать всю кожуру целиком? А только с того места где будет приклеиваться деталь. А остальное снимать потом? Удачи!!!!

Why do some of your panels that presumably will have parts cut out of them, have lots of holes drilled in them? Why not just drill holes around the outline so you can use the cutout piece for something if necessary? I noticed in the last couple of videos some of the already fitted panels have dozens of neat, regularly spaced holes drilled and light coming through.

Yep. Even steps are essential imo. There’s nothing worse than walking down uneven ones that are too wide and vary in width. You have to vary your gate and add in half steps as you go down or up… It’s a major pain in the arse and dangerous as well. Sounds a bit like you’re polishing their design in places. As is always the case what looks good on the computer doesn’t always work in practice.

Another great video!

Merry Christmas! Have you explored or have experience with black counter tops? Often they show water spots, dust, salt, crumbs etc. If the interior is white, any color on the counters will look dark, so don't think black might not be a best choice.

At 10:25 "Hot and cold water for washing machine" - AFAIK typical washer heat water by itself and only has a cold water inlet. Moving escape hatch was a great idea! Second question on how Schionning missed that storage size? I guess they never build a real boat yet and no one walked pass yet. Otherwise might notice too narrow walkway instantly. Why sacrifice space for many small storage pockets and useless below? Doesn't make sense. Schionning might fix their design or somehow explain. Anyway yet another great video. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

fyi in parallel the voltage does NOT increase, ONLY Amperage

Can you build a false walkway on top of the 45 sloped deck piece? Would it look strange? Give yourself a wider walk way on the deck?

Good video as always... thanks. A thorough explanation of the questions raised. Thank you 👍🏻

You can now use the stairs for storage ! Clever adaptation….

Why are some of your foam board pieces darker than the other ones? Just wandering. That’s going to be a nice boat and you guys are doing I nice professional job.

I would not be bothering with those pesky escape hatches, I’ve noticed several people have started sealing over there escape hatches.

Looks great, Merry Christmas.

Really enjoy your channel !. It looks like with all the tabbing that you will end up with a stiff boat. Do I assume correctly that Schionnings will incorporate some of your "newly" found ideas as well as the Australia ideas into the current design ?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Merry Christmas 🎉🎄☃️🎄

I wondered why the chamfer panel to canoe tabbing wasnt done before all of the cupboard shelving is going in. It looks like the tabbing needed is getting more and more obstructed with other stuff

Shopping in la Rochelle today so watching this whilst parked waiting for my wife to have her Christmas haircut. Great vlog Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year 🎉

many small steps ... good progress

Good explanations and demonstrations. As far as a white interior, that's very practical but a horror to finish and maintain. I've had better success with a shade of white,perhaps Ivory or similar. Way less stark and clinical in what should be a comfortable but neat effect. Also, over time the inevitable blemishes are less pronounced and easier to touch up. Something else to lie awake thinking about 😅

Hi, Do you perhaps know if the Australia yacht is sailing already ?

I would guess it takes about as long to fit out the boat, as it takes to build the shell, all faired and painted. Electric, plumbing, HVAC, standing & running rigging, engine and fuel system, steering, generator, water maker, electronics, cabinetry, fixtures, appliances, lighting, upholstry, etc. At least as long. So 2 1/2 years for the shell and another 2 1/2 years to get ready for a first trip. Summer 2028 is my guess. Good luck!

My first view of this channel. Lots of we and not a lot of work carried out by us...

Kind of reminds me of a guy on pipe line that was putting tar on the welded joints before installing insulation,he had a bucket of tar elbow length gloves ,he would grab a handful then rub on joint like he should ,only thing he would do the the side facing him, then lean into it and do the far side , he had so much tar on him he could no longer zip up his winter insulated coveralls , we had to duck tape his clothes shut , took quite awhile to get him to do the far side first , then I got the company to buy him some new overalls

Are you installing stainless steel tanks later or are they integrated in between the bulkheads? If the last option, is the foam really resistant to all those different fluids?

Amazing progress!

Will you be putting a hinged cover over the rudder slots, so the step is flat when the rudders are down? Now your step has a large tripping slot in the middle of the scoops.

Thank you for this video. As always, I am impressed with your perseverance and progress. 👍🏻

28:48 Bless The Admiral's sweet heart, she's looking so forward to getting P6 (and Lynx's land lubbin' life) done and over with for ever and ever!! 😊 🌊 ☀️ ⛵ 🍹 🐠 I cannot imagine the total life disruption that comes with building a large complex intricate foam floaty thing. Especially considering the ego that is the bloated bureaucracy in your area that cannot make a temporary consolation for a temporary project that requires a temporary structure to be temporarily assembled and used temporarily and disassembled permanently. 😩 But you can bet your bottom dollar that if it were an administrator or alderman or mayor or supervisor or commissioner or officer or deputy or select board member or whatever type of fiefdom structure currently profits from the fine folks in your town, that there would EASILY be either an accommodation for, or a "looking the other way" of, such a temporary safe and effective structure to facilitate such an undertaking. They probably wrote a "no panhandling" ordinance as well which we all know flies in the face of the Constitution. Otherwise how could they beg folks for free campaign money? But I digress. 😊 Love the progress... Live the process! -✌️

Hope get a nice rest for Christmas. Unfortunately I cannot catch for your next few Vlogs as I am in another part of France with no WIFI. So Merry Christmas to you all.
