    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.

    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.

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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @hanfordcreek5309
    @hanfordcreek5309 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    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?

    • @TheDuracellProject
      @TheDuracellProject  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      this is a long answer. We will get back to the keel conversation as soon as we secure a mast....hopefully soon!

    • @evangatehouse5650
      @evangatehouse5650 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

  • @trevorhenderson6136
    @trevorhenderson6136 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @mckenziekeith7434
      @mckenziekeith7434 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    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 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.

      House insulation foam isn’t structural or marine grade, then again I have never tried it

      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

    For the cockpit are you considering shading the helm area? Seems very exposed, which for a racing boat is fine, but cruising?

    • @TheDuracellProject
      @TheDuracellProject  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      yes, there will be some kind of shading for sure! That's way down the line, though.

      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?)

    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?

    • @TheDuracellProject
      @TheDuracellProject  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The foam I use is a closed cell structural foam whereas Home Depot foam is for insulation…doesn’t have same structural properties

      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.

    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?

    • @TheDuracellProject
      @TheDuracellProject  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.
