Terysa, next time you have the camera on Nick, can you please say the word "workshop" - because I want to see Nick's eyes glaze over when he thinks about his workshop! 😄 I was impressed with the thickness of the bulk heads before, but am even more impressed with seeing the level of workmanship with securing the furniture. Really impressive.
I'm really enjoying watching this process. The knowledge you are gaining for future maintenance is huge. I can hardly wait for launch day. All the best
I think progress is flying along at least from my perspective as a TH-cam audience member. I imagine from your perspective it might seem a bit slower given you guys are seeing the progress on almost a daily basis. The construction methods and attention to details are extraordinary and its an amazing opportunity to see it all come together. Stay safe. Thanks for keeping us up to date its fascinating to watch and sailing RR2 isn't that far away.
Tell you what Im a rver and not into boats, but I would like to say have been watching for a year or so and just love the techinel workings of all this. Being a Automotive tech , Engineering of anything I find so fastening.
Easier now to see the finished shapes. Again, I am struck by how solid the boat is! I can believe there will be less creaking and singing as the sea stresses the boat. Very informative; please give us more!
Like everyone else, we have to say this is just an amazing insight into modern construction & you folk are really showing us all the detail. Your Vietnam adventures are amazing also - you need to go diving for us while you're there!!!⛵💪✌❤
It's starting to be a lot easier to picture the actual layout and space you're going to have, maybe not QUITE enough room to bounce on the bed but close LOL. One _HUGE_ positive about being on-site for most of the build, and working so closely with the PM and guys on the floor, is you're going to KNOW exactly where every bit plumbing line and electrical cable is.
@@sailingrubyrose yes, many manufacturers would not permit you being on the premises like you are. They would claim you are a liability, and a hindrance to the project. Hats off to Seawind👍🏼
To be frank if I had preordered a 1370 Id be very happy at about build no - 10 position. By then a lot of the new build hurdles will have been systematically iron out. A bulletproof wiring harness is critical
The intricacies of the build are fascinating. On the starboard side module where they filled a seam with fiberglass. The piece on either side is gel coated. How do they finish the seam?
It is still great fun watching both of your excitement in this build. When you leave the factory and go about your life there what do you do to calm yourselves down? LOL Take care guys.
It’s really interesting watching the build process move forward with the various pieces. It also helps that you continue to point out different parts that were previous discussions, like the water tight bulkheads and compartments, which also makes it easier to understand where those sections fit into the actual boat. What do they use as the actual mattress platform since the bed birth area looks a little short for a typical king size mattress?
Just an idea for more content. I know I would and maybe a lot of your viewers be interested in the inner workings of the Sea wind factory. Obviously you are covering this in regard to your boat but a higher level about how all Sea winds are produced the differences the difficulties suppliers employees design sales certification legal etc how Sea wind are coping with both building a factory and producing your model at the same time. I am pretty sure Sea wind would be happy to cooperate since excellent PR for the company though of course you would have to be aware of any propriety information they would not want shown. I do appreciate how easy it is for someone to come up with an idea or in this case the beginnings of an idea without regard for the hundreds of hours it would take or the extra work required by multiple people especially when no one has any idea how well it would be received.
I think this is so amazing .. to see your yatch being built. A few videos ago I asked about insulation. Is there any? Another question. I hear lots of yatch owners talk about mold. Especially those in the tropics. Seeing how the hull and inner form are made and fitted, how do you control mold between inner and outer forms. If you have A/C, there will be condensation where warm and cold meet.
I think it is time to start your Splash Day countdown. Let me help: April 12, May 31, June 30, July 15 = 12+31+30+15 = 88 days +,- to go. When there are 10 days to go will be the time to make your provisioning list, and buy a nice bottle of champagne. With 1 day to go - pinch yourselves, and have an adult cocktail, or two just to settle your nerves. Yeah, 88 days to S-Day and counting! Best, :¬) Webhead USA
Hi there Nick and Terysa, Again thank you for another wonderful vid about your build. I have a quick question that perhaps you could inform your viewers. Making your choise on either 24volt system or a 48 volt system? You have travelled quite extensively and I wonder what the most common boat volatge system is around the world - and getting things like parts/ having something serviced by an expert etc.
I wonder if they realised what letting you in to film on a regular basis would be like? - No other manufacturer has ever, as far as I know, given a customer such free access, I understand that its more than a simple Builder/Client relationship - any signs yet that they are regretting agreeing to such an indepth series...!!! best wishes and keep reporting progress.
We’re trying very hard to keep out of their way and let them get on with their jobs 😊 But all the Seawind staff have been incredibly gracious at letting us come in regularly to film and occasionally interview them on camera.
Nick, who noticed that the anchor box was too small first? You or the builders? Surely it must be enlightening for the builders to have another experienced (and motivated) sailor around to evaluate the build? Things should begin to move more quickly now. Multiple installations happening simultaneously.
I’m interested that the factory is using a forklift to move the inserts around rather than a gantry crane? Anyway looking very good, no Vietnamese from Nick this week? 🤣
Fascinating as always. I have two questions: What is the expected life span of this boat - assuming no accidents of course? And secondly, is it possible to dispose of the hull in an environmentally sound way?
I doubt it. Seawind have been building boats for over 30 years and we’ve been onboard several older models and they’re incredibly solid. No rattles at all.
With the engines going in at this fairly early stage, does this mean they are in for good, or could they still be removed if there was ever a need to rebuild / replace them?
While I know the design of the boat is set in stone, and as you know, I'm not a sailor and if you remember, I have a serious fondness for Privilege Yachts, I do have a question for you. That 4 x 6 space in the middle of the bow, could have been been sectioned off and then used to expand the width of the forward staterooms, particularly where the beds are, to move the beds further towards the centerline of the yacht, giving you more room in the cabins? It may not be possible, I can't really grasp the way the yacht is laid out, but I'm curious. Also, I would assume you're probably a couple of weeks behind on the videos, doing the editing and such, but do you have an expected rough date for completion? Finally, Nikki and Jason have announced Curiosity is up for sale. Did you get them a deal on Hull number 3? LOL
For me it would be more useful to put the camera on the boat rather than whatsisname while he's talking. We can then listen and see what he's talking about! I do mean the Intro too!
Obviously very proud Mama & Papa.
Your excitement is infectious. I love that the manufacturer is confident enough of their build quality to allow so much inspection and observation.
RR2 is really coming along nicely. Watching Nick maneuver around inside the boat shows just how big the boat is. It’s ginormous
It really is
So living vicariously through nick and Teresa aka Nick and Nora
Cheers guys

I'm not a boat person but, my excitement is growing with every episode you present to us. Thank you every time.
Thanks so much Wally!
RR2 is coming along nicely, can't wait to see her in the water. Fair winds and following seas RR2.
Thanks Kevin!
With all honesty is it ok to envy and hate you at the same time. I would just be greatful to be on the water.
Respect 👍👍👍
I'm really enjoying watching this process. The knowledge you are gaining for future maintenance is huge. I can hardly wait for launch day. All the best
The pride that you both show for y'all's new CAT is evident! 😁
Thank you
Amazing craftsmanship. A sturdy new home...
Looking great !! It’s fun to watch your beautiful yacht come together.thanks for sharing!!
Fair winds 🍻⛵️
🙏
This just keeps getting more exciting each episode! So glad for you both! Thank you for the updates, keep them coming please!

Ah thanks mate. Glad you like the technical stuff
VERY Cool!!!! Good to see her coming together nicely CANNOT WAIT to see her in the water🙏🙏👍👍
Thanks mate!
Love this "How It's Made" series... so fascinating! Keep at it, thanks!
Easier now to see the finished shapes. Again, I am struck by how solid the boat is! I can believe there will be less creaking and singing as the sea stresses the boat. Very informative; please give us more!
It's coming along very nicely. Master builders!

Really enjoying these build videos, can’t wait to see the finished product
She is coming together very nicely. Now that RR2 is in front of you have you any last minute changes or decisions to make ? Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
We made a few last minute changes but nothing major
It's starting to be a lot easier to picture the actual layout and space you're going to have, maybe not QUITE enough room to bounce on the bed but close LOL.

Yes, that’s a huge advantage, we feel very lucky. 😊

Look out Nick, Just love to watch your mate! Teresa!

WOW!! So cool! Such wonderful access. I love seeing the progress!
Thanks Trish!
This isn't sailing. However, this is quite interesting! Thank you and thank Seawind for allowing you to document this entire process.
Not sailing, no! But it will turn into sailing as soon as possible 😊
Looking good, can't wait for splash day...
Looking Fantastic!!!!!!!
Amazing right?
To be frank if I had preordered a 1370 Id be very happy at about build no - 10 position. By then a lot of the new build hurdles will have been systematically iron out. A bulletproof wiring harness is critical
Enjoyed this episode. Looking forward to engine install and wiring install.
You won’t be waiting long 😊 Engine install already filmed and will be out within a couple of weeks
The intricacies of the build are fascinating. On the starboard side module where they filled a seam with fiberglass. The piece on either side is gel coated. How do they finish the seam?
Great episode this week ! Really interesting how a catamaran is put together.
Nice! It is beginning to look like it is ready to set sail!!!
The excitement is reaching a fever pitch. 🤒
🙌🏻
Love for series on the Seawind. I’d love to see footage of your adventures living in Vietnam.
Lots of progress!
It is still great fun watching both of your excitement in this build. When you leave the factory and go about your life there what do you do to calm yourselves down? LOL Take care guys.
Thank you
Christmas for nick
Fantastic, really enjoy watching your boat come to life. Thanks from over here in south central Thailand.

Excellent Man!
looking awesome
Looking good guys…. Jack n Steve 🐶😎
Nick why was you ever in dentistry? Yacht building is your thing 😆
Love the passion 👍🏻
Very true
What I'm really wanting is a banjo song from Nick, on an open mic. night..

Thanks Glenn! We’re always happy for suggestions, so thank you for this. We’ll give it some thought 😊
@@sailingrubyrose yeah seeing 1160s etc would be good as well.
Cracking videos. Top stuff.
starting to look like a boat :) nice :)
🙌🏻
EPIC !!

Fibreglass doesn’t need insulation as much as aluminium or steel

Had no idea the process was so detailed. How many are they producing a year?
Looks gorgeous already, have you broken anything by accident wandering around yet :-)?
With the major milestone of structural nearly done, the schedule will be updated. Do you guys have a revised Estimate to Complete?
We do. We’re keeping it quiet for now 😊
Good day. If we were interested in a Seawind, who would you recommend contacting? The build is going great. We are enjoying seeing it coming together.
Vicarious living, thanks
That locker is the same size as my garden shed.
Lol
They just call it a Locker to fool us, it's actually a future Nursery ;-)

looking great are you changing any spacein the living or lounge space ?
No mate, we’re having it built just like everyone else who’s buying this boat
I can't recall if you've mentioned, but counter-rotating props?
Man, it's really coming along. I may actually be more excited than you guys!
I don’t think that’s possible 😛
Another great video.
❤️
From this point about how long will it take to complete the rest of the boat?
Are the glued furniture components more likely to be a future rattle years from now?
I doubt it. Seawind have been building boats for over 30 years and we’ve been onboard several older models and they’re incredibly solid. No rattles at all.
Interesting content
When does the tankage get put in? Does the placement of fuel and/or water tanks affect the balance of the boat?
With the engines going in at this fairly early stage, does this mean they are in for good, or could they still be removed if there was ever a need to rebuild / replace them?
Can't wait following your sailing experience on that boat!
I know! Not too long now
Hobbyists and their obsessions love it I'm that way with cars car audio clothes I love yachts but spine can't handle water anymore
I can't wait to see RR2 under sail. What is the estimated splash date?
🤐
@@sailingrubyrose 😭😭😭
Are the areas between the hull and the semicircular inserts used for anything or are they water tight crash areas?
I always wonder about the gaps between the hull and the infill can this gap fill with water.
While I know the design of the boat is set in stone, and as you know, I'm not a sailor and if you remember, I have a serious fondness for Privilege Yachts, I do have a question for you.

Finally, Nikki and Jason have announced Curiosity is up for sale. Did you get them a deal on Hull number 3? LOL
algorithm hug!
🤗
What boat are you going to build NEXT?
is there any consideration of insulation for temperature between the hull and the exterior bulkheads?
I remember you eating strange food with that very pretty lady last week.
So since the engines are going in prior to the top deck, does that mean that they cannot be removed once the top deck is installed?
Chào buổi tối việt nam,* "Good evening Vietnam"
Lagoon should take note of how the Sea wind is made.....
I have been a long time follower, why did you feel you needed a new boat????
How long is the build expected to last????
Love t. 👍
Who has build number 3, the Wynns ?
Great Question......
Haha, no not the Wynns. An American couple
oh i've already saw this lol
Can't wait to see it all finished and you're off on your first adventure. Take care.
Looking great!! What sorts of things were planned that have changed during the build?
I don’t think there’s been many changes, everything was planned so meticulously.
Was that a pot of white rice??
😃👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🦅👍😎🇺🇸⛵️
For me it would be more useful to put the camera on the boat rather than whatsisname while he's talking. We can then listen and see what he's talking about! I do mean the Intro too!
