08. Building 15m carbon performance catamaran - "CarbonBee"

All videos are to see on my channel: / @bojanu7212
We are building "CarbonBee" in Berlin (Marina West). Measuring 15 meters in length, based on our JANU-15 design, full carbon catamaran focuses on both high performance and a well-balanced level of comfort
It's a family project from the design over the construction up to... sailing the catamaran.
Unsatisfied with the offerings on the market, we decided to design and build the catamaran ourselves using state-of-the-art materials and technology.
"CarbonBee" is designed to be a true blue water sailing catamaran, offering a combination of lightness, solidity, power, speed, and safety. Our intention wasn't to create and build any houseboat or a condo-maran.
The aim was also to demonstrate that building a high-tech sailing catamaran can be achieved by amateur builders.
The catamaran's two hulls will each contain two cabins for two people, as well as a shower with a basin and a separate toilet with a basin. The bridge will feature a kitchen, saloon, navigation equipment, and a steering station.
"CarbonBee" will get electric propulsion and possibility of recuperation when going under sails.
"CarbonBee" measures 15 meters in length and 9.3 meters in width, with a draft of 0.5/2.5 meters and a weight of approximately 4 t. The displacement is 6.5 t.

Wir bauen „CarbonBee“ in Berlin (Marina West). Mit einer Länge von 15 Metern, basierend auf unserem JANU-15 Design, der Kohlefaser-Katamaran Projekt konzentriert sich sowohl auf hohe Leistung als auch auf ein ausgewogenes Maß an Komfort
Es ist ein Familienprojekt vom Design über den Bau bis hin zum… Segeln des Katamarans.
Unzufrieden mit den Angeboten auf dem Markt entschieden wir uns, den Katamaran selbst zu entwerfen und zu bauen und dabei modernste Materialien und Technologien einzusetzen.
'CarbonBee' ist als wahrer Segelkatamaran für die Ozeane konzipiert und bietet eine Kombination aus Leichtigkeit, Solidität, Kraft, Geschwindigkeit und Sicherheit. Unsere Absicht war es nicht, ein Hausboot oder einen Condo-Maran zu bauen.
Das Ziel war auch zu demonstrieren, dass der Bau eines High-Tech Segelkatamaran auch von Hobbybauern bewerkstelligt werden kann.
Die beiden Rümpfe des Katamarans werden jeweils zwei Kabinen für zwei Personen sowie eine Dusche mit Waschbecken und eine separate Toilette mit Waschbecken enthalten. Die Brücke wird über eine Küche, einen Salon, Navigationsausrüstung und einen Steuerstand verfügen.
'CarbonBee' wird einen elektrischen Antrieb bekommen mit Rekuperation Möglichkeit beim Segeln.
„CarbonBee“ ist 15 Meter lang und 9,3 Meter breit, hat einen Tiefgang von 0,5/2,5 m und ein Gewicht von etwa 4 t. Verdrängung beträgt 6,5 t.

Can't wait for you guys to sail this thing! Looks amazing!

[@bojanu7212]

Thanks!
We are just now already excited as we think about first sailing. We know, the first trails will not be for weak nerves. 😃

@@bojanu7212 to start such a project one needs nerves from Carbon Steel :)

I think your boat will be closest thing compared to lightning - as far as performance cruising cats are concerned. I would be frightened to be on the water in a 6t cat in bit ocean. However, it looks as though it is very well constructed and will be sailed with very good hands and minds. Cheers@@bojanu7212

@stdntallan Thanks for the nice comment.
Nowadays you have satellites and good forecasts for weather conditions. Having fast boat you do not need to go in heavy seas or into storms, but having slow, heavy cat you can't choose weather - the weather will choose you.

The work on CarbonBee is coming along nicely, good job! It's a very cool project to watch coming closer to completion 👍

[@KiwiSkipper]

Great to see some progress ..even if slow. All good things come with time.

[@robertlaird6746]

Looking forward to many more videos from your family. Awesome boat!

[@tlof]

It is amazing what can be done, just by a couple of people
I'm waiting for the first sea trials.

[@ArturRoszczyn]

Great job guys as always!

[@CheersWarren]

Thank you for update I enjoy your build process that I am very familiar with . Cheers Warren

What is the thickness of the glass, is it 2 laminated sheets of 4 mm ?

[@bojanu7212]

Hi, do you need the information for any specific project? The ISO standard ISO:12216 describes the requirements.

[@zanebrimson7777]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. This is what makes TH-cam, TH-cam University!

Good stuff Bo!

Looks Awesome! Hope you have the motivation to finish it.

Thanks!
Reading so many nice comments to our project our motivation intensify.

Good to have an update

[@bojanu7212]

Ohh, yes I will collect some recordings and edit it for TH-cam, soon.

what is the mission of this boat because no toe rail and hatches at the bottom of your front facing window is just a couple of the things that are very confusing

[@bojanu7212]

Thank you for your valuable, confusing comment.

[@erichdatzkow3836]

Es gibt menschen die keine ahnung von catamarane haben..aber geben unsinnige Kommentare ab !!!

[@pred7949]

@@bojanu7212 what is confusing? i asked what you're going to use your boat for? because building a carbon boat with no toe rails, and hatches at the bottom of the windscreen windows make absolutely no sense in my mind.

[@bojanu7212]

@@pred7949 We will use our boat mainly in marina. On the open see our autopilot will use the boat.🤣
Allegedly carbon boats doesn't need toe rails, but we anyhow install them 🙃😉😂.
The hatches will be always closed, and we do not know anymore why we installed them. We will work hard at this to check the idea behind it. 😉🤔🤥🤕
