I am so thoroughly impressed with the bulkhead layout technique. That's just slick! Also have to say that the iterative design process is a really great way to go. Its how I build furniture and I stand by it as a viable method. Somethings make sense on paper and somethings have to be fleshed out for real. Y'all are doing a fantastic job!
The methodical way in which you approach each task is so good to watch. That tick board method was actually very interesting. I'm enjoying this build. You are a true craftsman sir. I also like the probing questions to help the viewer understand the process. It's also like a window into your mind. Please don't ever think we won't film this part because it's boring include it all. You even make mixing resin interesting.
Great progress! I am new to this channel and could not help smiling at the music around the 8min mark. I follow Tring Shoe Repair also and the cobbler has that tune as his “let’s get sticky” jingle. I’m sure the epoxy gets sticky too 😉
Thanks for the video. I really like the tick board method of determining shape. I remember you using it before but this example and explanation made it very understandable.
It is incredible the amount of work that has been done and that remains before launching in the water! Great work and thanks for explaining the why of your decisions!
Appreciate how you show and most importantly explain your design and prototyping process. As an open-source programmer my approach is always endlessly iterative, proof of concept. Versions are just debugged prototypes. At some point it has to be pushed into the repo. Look forward to the next installment.
I do drywall/plaster for a living an do the tick board method to find hard curves and round celings. But most the times we can put say one board up the middle of a ceiling an have a straight to come off from. Well done bud!
I increased access to the bilge the length of my Cal39 when I was getting her ready for several years of cruising. That decision saved the boat when I took on water 80 miles off of Georgia quickly b/c of a blown gasket on the dripless shaft seal. I very quickly had cold ankle deep water at 2 in the morning, and being able to access the entire bilge was what made it possible to very quickly identify the issue. terrifying experience.
this yacht is huge, I watch each episode, I am waiting for the next one, you can learn a lot and see, I like the measurement of the bulkhead walls inside, I will definitely use this method at my bus for my boat
Hey I’d love to have a voiceover or other explanation of the glass specs and such - maybe why you are using them in specific areas. Great vids, guys!! See you are rapidly gaining a following!
It always amazes me how "relaxed" you are approaching these quite difficult jobs.. It all starts to look like routine for you.. The glass work seems to be coming across as a very simple job, but I know it is way more than simple..You need to know the do's and the don'ts and Matt knows them very well.. I love the "toggle stick" method..ideal replacement instead of big door skin glued templates, which are hard to handle in that size... Another very interesting installment.. Thank you..
That was a complex (complex for me as I am not a boat builder) series of lines and measurements but, they worked out correctly. I can visualize what Matt is doing as he completes each section and it looks like it is going to be a great interior when he completes the design. I thought initially the master bedroom section would be larger with a master bath and bath, but know that Matt has that figured out also. It would be nice to see a conceptual layout of the interior of the boat and then it would all make more sense to us novices.
Hey guys live the videos! In previous episode you were mocking the coaming. What about embedding aluminum plate that you can tap into to attach winches spin locks etc to? Heavier but easier than accessing backing plates if you need to remove, reposition, repair hardware.
Just brilliant. There’s not an easy way to get something like that shaped. But with some ingenuity and will…👌🏻This why I love this! Press forward! Ps.: More cat frolicking/hunting in the grass pls!
Really nice job! I am pretty sure that once we finish our cruising adventures (starting next year ), my next project will be a big refit of an older sailboat. Will be great to use your videos as a knowledge database 🤙⛵ take care and I look forward to your next video - Cheers,
I love your channel, every time I see that you have uploaded a new video, I immediately watch it. In this episode I was looking at your floor plan and I am wondering about aft cabins in addition to the stateroom, for such a big boat one would expect more berths. I am also wondering, because as you grow older (viewing this boat as a life project that you will probably own for many decades) you might want more enclosed (private) sleeping quarters (kids, friends, potential charter …). Just a suggestion, but maybe this is already in your plans and because it is a sketch I wasn’t able to discern it.
I discovered the oscillating saw very late in life. I also discovered that I had three projects I did with it that would have been physically impossible with anything else. That made pretty neat work of things for you too, I see.
Hi Matt Perfect example of why its best to do something you are really good at- in your case its overhead wet laminating. In my case I tend to get too much hair into the laminate! LOL That is why I prefer infusion for overhead work!
Sheesh. I laminated many meters upside down with wide taping (up to 12" wide). Fully wet out the biax on a flat table with regular resin, then sprinkle (list dusting only) with colloidal silica. Thickens the surface layer of resin. Roll up the tape, and unroll onto the surface upside down, pressing in place. Just keep track which is the thickened side.
It's always so hard to plan out a space.. seems like I''m frustrated by what I choose and what I missed, then wanting to make it really functional also. Good Luck
I’m really interested in your project. I wish you would revisit what you plan for the keel, the original keel was a deep, high aspect ratio keel which was highly efficient for resistance to leeway and gave good righting moment with a minimum of ballast. You will have to add ballast to have a shorter keel and maintain righting moment. How will you configure the fin with the necessary added area to resist leeway? Will you just make it wider or will it be some sort of trapezoidal affair?
Short answer: Matt wants a considerably shallower keel for cruising. So he is will REDUCE righting moment deliberately. This will allow use of a lighter mast than the original. This also means you can't carry as much sail area in stronger winds because you've reduced RM. You reef earlier or the boat heels too much. Area is a different story.
Not to sure about having your work bench area before your forward cabin. You might not be able to sleep at night looking at things on your to do list on your way to bed not to mention it might be a bit ugly. Re your cockpit lay out I would suggest a over hang on cabin roof and sides to give a little shelter from the elements if outside on watch at night. I would also make the seats as long as possible too You will find this area the most used when cruising especially in the warmer climes. Keep up the good work.
Leverage can be adjusted by changing pulley sizes also, so really the wheel size should be chosen based on other criteria like leaving enough room to walk down the center of the cockpit, for example. But also being comfortable to drive both sitting and standing.
Matt. Have you Thought or Try one Steering Wheel that Goes Left Or Right just be Less Cost and a little More Room. It just look more cramp with Two Wheels! Have you thought of countersink your Winches for more room up top?
yes, we had a dual versus single helm discussion in an episode a couple months ago...can't remeber which number episode it was now! A single helm would totally work, we just prefer dual. Just a preference thing.
I just binge watched all of your videos. As a viewer I have one piece of advice. The Voice in your content is very quiet, I have to turn the TV up about 35% to hear what is being said then the music and the sound effects of building the boat are extremely loud. My guess is you either need a better microphone or you need to turn up the vocals in your video production software. Other than that I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel, you guys are an inspiration. So down to earth and genuinely good people. I have learned so much in 14 hours of content lol. I am subscribed, see ya next Wednesday!!
Love your ticking stick method. I built a special tool to do that job but it requires a much larger template something thst is less than one foot smaller than the actual size. Your method requires no special tool and a much smaller template, Brilliant,. I used the same method for my boat Samantas but....
I see what you are doing to layout that bulkhead, but how do you keep all those lines and reference points straight on that white story board? Amazing.
550th LIKE posted at 7:09 in this 4,043rd view - yet another impressive use - 'upside-down, against the ceiling' - of the vacuum process. How cool is that?
The Itch is the bane of working on plastic boats for me. No matter the Tyvek suits and duct tape, a grinding job often leaves me in sleepless itching agony. I get it just watching you in clouds of FRP dust, which you so often seem to be. Any tricks or tips you could share?
Two things I'm curious about - looks like that will be rather small for the main cabin, and I think I see the mast mount not far from the cabin. Can you tell us tge approximate dimensions of the cabin? Hard to tell from line drawings or video scenes...
My name is John and I am older and don't sail much any more. However, I am certified offshore and delivered sailboats up and down the West Coast and due to the veriety, have a fair idea of what makes sense and what doesn't. With regard to weight balance side to side is as important as bow to stern. In addition, weight carried down is better than weight carried aloft and as close to bilge center as possible. One more thing, Duracell was built as a race boat designed for the 80's 50 years ago and has far less beam that the current iteration. Dual wheels will eat most of your cockpit. why not use a 40' to 50' wheel and since the wheel is seldom turned more than 120 degrees, the bottom of the wheel could be constructed with a flat bottom 140 degrees side to side from top dead center. I have sailed both types, my preference is a centered wheel with enough diameter to handle while at the coaming. The flat bottom would eliminte the trough in the cockpit floor and would be easily maintained even if turned more than 140 degrees. You could also have stern seats for sharing the helm with your lovely wife. Just a thought and would enjoy yours. John K
I think a "What is Matt's IQ" contest and the closest person to guess without going over, wins a one week crew sailing when the boat is complete... My guess is 153
@@symphonyfarm2009 My wife & I've been married 50 years, and I've been a woodworking enthusiast even longer, but I sure agree with you. My workshops have always been in the basement or the barn and that's the right place!
Nice job the Lay line idea works quite well can,t get a much better fit than that. Why not do a pocket type door that way ya not loosing space to an opening door. Mind if ya going for a water type puppy maybe not. They will be chopping those plastic trees down Flat out as I see a fair amount of resin and cloth in you future.......;0) Carry on.
Just a suggestion if I may, the last thing I want to see before I go to bed Is my workbench, that might be just me but hopefully you can tuck it away some where else on the boat.
Out of curiosity, are you concerned at all about the vertical clearance of the interior, particularly once you get floorboards and ceiling panels in? I'm watching you scrunch about in there to avoid hitting your head, and that won't be comfortable long-term!
It's a good question. The overhead is pretty short as it is now. I'm going to lower the floors a little forward of the mast, where the overhead is the lowest.
All Time Great VIDEO, but for me essentiall is to be able to use the translate possibility from youtube, because my English is not perfect. I wish you the Best, and the success you need for get your dream true. Best Greetings from Germany
I don't know about anyone else but I would like to hear Mat explain why he used marine foam and not house insulation foam. I've defiantly seen installation foam used on boats with success.
It lacks sufficient shear strength to act as a structural component. Maybe as a small locker face that is non structural for example. But otherwise you can't; it's much too weak. Typical blue/pink foam has about 20% of the shear strength of a 80 kg/m3 PVC foam.
@@evangatehouse5650 makes sense. It was being used as dodgers and reinforcement ribs. When they were being used as ribs it was for giving the glass form
i thout it the first time i saw it.Why you dont make the benches closer to each other at the very back to have bigger sidewalks ? Is there any reason to make them parallel?
I did not ask before, but amidships and aft of that are usually best for motion when at anchor. So what’s the logic of having the master cabin so far forward?
when at anchor, it's comfortable to sleep forward in the boat. When at sea and underway during passage, it's more comfortable mid or aft ship as you note. Most nights we'll be at anchor on Duracell, but when underway, we'll sleep in a quarter berth bunk.
Another great video. Keep them coming. Don't want to be 'that' guy, but maybe wear some glasses next time you're working with resin over your head, one drop in your eye and the day is ruined.

Hi Matt
Perfect example of why its best to do something you are really good at- in your case its overhead wet laminating. In my case I tend to get too much hair into the laminate! LOL That is why I prefer infusion for overhead work!
One day I'll learn to do infusion work. My epoxy is too thick to infuse so as long as Total boat keeps sponsoring us I'll continue to vac bag.
love the music.
Can't watch the whole video right know...just skipped and saw some crazy lines. This one is a good one for sure!
What a sweet machine (you have to love a cool tool)
Sheesh. I laminated many meters upside down with wide taping (up to 12" wide). Fully wet out the biax on a flat table with regular resin, then sprinkle (list dusting only) with colloidal silica. Thickens the surface layer of resin. Roll up the tape, and unroll onto the surface upside down, pressing in place. Just keep track which is the thickened side.
Keep at it guys!

From a desktop Phantom Shipmate - the larger, 33" steering looks to have notably better leverage than the smaller one, eh?
Leverage can be adjusted by changing pulley sizes also, so really the wheel size should be chosen based on other criteria like leaving enough room to walk down the center of the cockpit, for example. But also being comfortable to drive both sitting and standing.

How you cover and support the helm area may play into your cockpit design, especially seated and standing helm positions
You'll probably need access to under the floorboards when you install your new keel (I'm not a boatbuilder so just wondering?)
yep, that's correct!
Neat.
Do you know about Sampson Boat Co. also in Port Townsand They are rebuilding a 110 year old racing sailboat.
yes, we know about Leo and his impressive project. we're just down the street from him!
I’m curious, what’s the difference between the foam from the ship supply store vs construction foam from Home Depot, for boat construction purposes?
The foam I use is a closed cell structural foam whereas Home Depot foam is for insulation…doesn’t have same structural properties
Well that intor was a slip and a half :)
i thout it the first time i saw it.Why you dont make the benches closer to each other at the very back to have bigger sidewalks ? Is there any reason to make them parallel?
it's a good question. I hadn't thought of that. might be a little more complicated to build though. it's an interesting idea.
The difference between a birth and a bedroom: one of them is for full-time live-aboard. :0)
I don't have a birth in my home.
I was going to say, dang your bedroom looks small! you said it better.
I did not ask before, but amidships and aft of that are usually best for motion when at anchor. So what’s the logic of having the master cabin so far forward?
when at anchor, it's comfortable to sleep forward in the boat. When at sea and underway during passage, it's more comfortable mid or aft ship as you note. Most nights we'll be at anchor on Duracell, but when underway, we'll sleep in a quarter berth bunk.
Another great video. Keep them coming. Don't want to be 'that' guy, but maybe wear some glasses next time you're working with resin over your head, one drop in your eye and the day is ruined.
Goodonyas! Go get'm tiger (s)!
