There is NEVER enough good tech advice anywhere,please keep teaching us more of the secrets of the trade, you are good at it. You are clear and to the point ,you deserve more viewers .
You asked so here's my opinion as a content creator on this platform self. Split the videos so you have one tech min and one boat build videos a week giving you 2 videos a week. Having 2 videos a week not only helps you grow as far as the TH-cam algorithm but its also better financially. I only speak for my self but I would definitely watch both video. So maybe one video at 10 mins a week of boat progress and one under 5 min video of the tech min. Ether way just my opinion.. thanks for another great video bryan 👍
Your the most fearless, most interesting, a agreat FITTER ( I am a retired Fitter) and I don't drop that compliment often. Please continue your videos, there EXECELLCENT. GETTING YOUR engines running so fast was impressive.
Very interesting stuff Bryan. Can't wait to hear about the fiberglass. Awesome explanation about leveling the roof! You're eating this elephant one bite at a time.
From what I can gather in watching your videos, your reasoning and approach to reconstructing your boat is sound and professional. You've obviously done your homework in terms of research, and I believe you are moving in the right direction. I'd love to offer you assistance (I'm a retired naval architect and marine engineer) however I'm located quite a distance away (Downeast Maine), making the commute a bit strenuous for an old fart.
Hell you're doing a fine job, whether you put it in there from front to back, or beginning to the end, you're very informative and you're doing a fine job I enjoy your videos because you do pack the information in there ,and you're one of those kind of guys that if you don't know, you'll get a manual, unlike some I know where I'm going I don't need a map, you are a matter of fact kind of guy, I don't think I've ever seen anybody do a better job of showing a sequence on how a job is done, there are a lot of blowhards out there that like to be heard but and talk talk talk and by the end of 15-20 minutes they've not set a dog on word, your precise and to the point and it usually takes the only 15 or 20 minutes to get it done, my hat's off to you sir good narration, good enunciation, in good explanations, yes sir find job.
You need a mini-van holds so much more than any suv and all stuff is out of the weather and secure. Impressed with what you are taking on, seems to me you are kind of an expert on quite a number of things and abilities.
Good to see you getting into the composite work.Definately beef up those window mullions considering the damage.Even a couple of layers of carbon unis running into the saloon roof from the mullions will tie in and reduce fatigue. And add substantial strength to the roofstructure.Great vids .Rossco
WOW, one of my TH-cam heroes is commenting on my channel, Thanks so much Rossco, I've been following your channel since you hauled those molds to your factory and never miss an episode.Thanks for the advice, I've learned a lot from your channel. ⛵⛵
Seeing how you were getting the panels back into position reminded me of auto body collision work. Winch and jack until it's back. On a project of this scale, I'd call 1/8 inch close enough, too. Well done!
G'day from Australia 🦘🐨. Just found your channel. We are restoring a Hitchhiker 40. By no means as much to do as you. Watching your trails and tribulations gives us motivation that we can do it without too much grief. Keep up you great work and effort. Good luck and keep on keeping on.. 😁👍👍🍻🍻🍻
Found your channel today, instantly subscribed and am now up to speed on your project. This is very inspirational to me and I'm looking forward to your next video! My own boat isn't broken like this but watching you certainly pushes me to get to work on some repairs and improvements I've been planning. I feel so bad that people kept stealing and trying to steal your stuff and I'm happy that the boat seems to sit in a more secure location now.
It’s great to see the comparison of the different types of foams/cores, usually you only hear about what they are selling and the one they want to rubbish! Glad you’re not even considering end grain balsa! BIG Project! Keep up the great work! 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺
Hi Bryan - Please keep the detail video's coming. They are truly informative. Wish you would give more details on the window joint. Looking forward to more detail video's. Thank you
Some small Tips from a Boatbuilder. When you replace the foam, make it in an angle from about 30 degrees. In Germany we called it "schäften". Take a look at this. That is the right way. Much stronger than 90 degree cut. Sorry for my bad english. Greets Paddy
Mate you are some form of hero, or raving lunatic.I admire your bravery and skill, I think I would be weeping long before you have got where you are. best wishes
Wow, another great video, very informative, love the tech tips and nice to see you getting some progress on some glass work, it is going to make a big difference once the glass work is done, but wow it;s a lot of work, thanks for sharing and keep making the videos!
Man that is one scary looking project. Love your videos, would like to see them longer and more often but realize you've got your hands full. Keep up the good work!
I would love to give you some advice but here is the thing, i have none, you are doing great. This turns out to be the best channel I subbed? Love from Holland.
I enjoy your channel .Very informative. Had a few money pits/boats in my life. Maybe in a few more years your knowledgeable videos will help me with another project. Thanks.
Doin an awesome job Bryan. Laying that pillar is epic. The information on the separate cores you can use takes most people a lot of trial and error. thanx for sharing.
When I was 11 or so, my dad constructed a replica of a ship type called Collin Archer and used something like polyurethane foam and we cover that in several layers of glass and then added gel coat. The whole thing was bottom up to make it easy, but when we carefully flipped it the hull wasn't strong enough to maintain it shape, so the ship ended up being a good meter and then some wider than planed. (I can't remember how much exactly, but it was between 1 meter and 3 meters). We spent many years on that ship each summer and lots of weekends. It was sold off just a few years ago because none of us are up to maintain it or sail it anymore due to health issues. Sad, but that's life. What we learned from that bracing is king and do not use the weak ass foam ever again. But thinking about that process, parts of building it was actually fun and interesting. The ship we built never sailed very well and rolled like you wouldn't believe, even with a keel weighing close to 10 tons, but I have good memories about it and that's what counts. My recommendation is to make some experiments just to see what solutions works best and have fun doing them, I wish we had done that back then when I was 11, it would have solved so many future issues from ever happening.
Wow ..... Must say that you have a LOT of 'Guts' tackling such a Massive project. Would love a Project like that, but at 70, I do not have the years left for it ..... :-) :-) :-) ..... Good on you, just love watching your progress. Very best to You and Yours from New Zealand ...
You are a beast Bryan. After building a relatively small boat (31' F-9A tri) from scratch, I do not have it in me to take on a project as big as the one you have. Maybe watching you will make me want to though. Power on and good luck.
@@BryanSailing They are great boats and so fun to sail even in light stuff. Mine is carbon over Duracore, launched in '93 after a solid 2 year build. Now it's just not the right boat for me as I'm older and I want to cruise and a cruising cat it is not. Wish I had the energy to take on a project like you.
Nice work Bryan, but surfboards can be made of polystyrene and epoxy. They are plenty strong as the foam is not structural, my guess is that a foam cored cat would be the same.
Very informative, however, as you have mentioned in previous videos, it's engineering. Composites by their nature are combination and allow different properties to be achieved, so although I personally am not necessarily advocating it there may be a place for using cardboard, balsa, polystyrene, Etc as a core. It's engineering: cost; weight; stiffness; torsional strength; compression; failure characteristics; temperature stability; UV sensitivity; electrical conductivity; acoustic transmission; compatibility with existing materials; ease of repair; Etc. My point, don't write a product off simply because it can be bought at Lowes
great info and materials demo! I've toyed with the idea of buying a hurricane cat, certainly temping if you have fiberglass skills. good luck on your restoration!
If you have the time and the will power you can gain the skills, but you must love the miserable, dusty itchy work.... what the heck is wrong with me for loving this😂
I follow many sailing channels and yours was recommended. Hopefully you’re seeing an uptick in subs. I’ve watched a few videos and truly impressed with your determination and resourcefulness. I’ll continue to follow as long as you post on your channel. I can’t wait to see your progress and fan base. 😂😂👍👍✌️✌️
Thanks, I'm super excited I never thought I would have this much success on TH-cam and it just keeps growing. Thanks to you and everyone that is making it happen.
Keep up the good work dude. Seriously this his a dream of mine to salvage a cat and build it how i want so keep it up so i can live vicariously through you. Lol. Until i can start my own project.
Good Tech Talk! Very much looking forward to seeing your work going forward., What a big project good luck and may you have Fairweather so that you can do plenty of work inside and out without cooking to death.
Definitely inspect the heck out of the structure and beef it up extensively if you see any issues/cracks. TH-camrs "Parley Revival" bought and fixed a Hurricane Irma damaged Lagoon 450 cat from the BVI. They had done a huge refit in Honduras, sailed for well over a year, had passaged the canal and were days from leaving Panama starting a Pacific crossing when their rigging suddenly went slack. Now they've found a new crack in the structure and have to go back into the yard. I'm betting it was damage the boat sustained in the Hurricane that was well hidden until now. The next episode will be very informative. Although the situation does not look pretty, it could have been really ugly had they been out to sea (in a storm) when it showed up.
So true. I'm anxiously awaiting to find out exactly what happened with Parley. I also can't stress this enough for anyone considering a damaged boat inspect every part of the boat and not just visually - use a hammer to check to internal delamination. If you see a crack, don't just patch it, grind it back until you are sure there is no more damage and fix it right. I sure hope all turns out well for Parley, I really like those guys.
Wow, I wouldn’t say you haven’t done a lot of work, holy cow! Your method of jacking was awesome to get everything where it needs to be, all that will certainly pay off! So interesting to watch what you’re doing and such a huge endeavor! I’ve been at the boatyard for about a month now so I totally understand what you’ve taken on, it’s incredible, it truly is. Thanks so much for the video....like I really need to see somebody work so hard....I love it though even though I’m so exhausted my my own work! Take care my friend! Nena, California
Balls the size of a bull elephant. Wish I could help with such noble and courageous hedonism.... when man meets mountain, bite off a chunk and chew like a crazy man, love ya style.
Using 'peel ply' ? Great to smooth out glassing, especially if laying multiple layers, removes the wax off the surface when it's set - no sanding to take the next laminate, also less fairing compound needed prepping later for that paint job.
I was told the strength of the foam does not really matter but.. resistance to compression is key. Foam only server as 'spacer' between inner and outer layer of glass. Works a bit like reenforced concrete.
I'm not an engineer, but from an engineering perspective, it's true the foam doesn't take most of the load. The center is the neutral axis and the farther away from the center you are the more load is applied, however if the foam is not strong enough to keep the two skins separate, but still in one piece it will fail, it's really a balancing act. I could write a lot about how it works, but it would be boring, reinforced concrete is a good example for the fiberglass and resign. For foam sandwich, an I beam is a better example where the strength is the top and bottom and the skinny layer separates them.
I would like to see a time lapse of you doing the work, it will take some of the explanation out, which you do nicely, but showing can sometimes be better than explaining. We enjoy your videos and hearing what/why you are choosing a product/method . Thank you, keep the videos coming :)
I'll work on trying to get more time-lapse in, but it's a technical challenge as I'm still trying to figure out my workflow and how to integrate filming into it. I feel like I'm always starting the time-lapse and them have to work in another area and by the time I get back the battery dies or the wind blows the camera over. Sometimes I have my gloves on covered with resin when I realize I forgot to start the camera lol. I'm sure it will get better as I go on.
Well I just finished the videos and I am ready to see you build the boat. I have a passion for this and will be following along. Do you have a schedule for the release of videos? I also like "sale life" and have been following him for a few years. I am so happy for you Bryan, Good for you to follow your passion.
There is another gentleman from Belgium who is currently doing some extensive refitting of a Warrior 33. The channel is called 'Sail Life'. I forgot the type of core he used to completely refit the deck with, but it was extensive. Check out his channel. You'll see some extensive DIY projects. Good luck and thanks for the upload.
You certainly take on tough projects. When you get to repairing the holes in hulls that now have hot patches, try taking a look at Parlay Revival's youtube from late 2019 and early 2020. He bought a hurricane damaged catamaran in BVI's in 2017. Different brand of catamaran using different core materials above waterline, but techniques may prove useful. Also- can the mast be sleeved or is it too far gone in too may places? As far as making a new rudder- check out Sail Life youtube from 2019 where owner made new rudder for his 38' monohull.
Amazing project boat! Thanks for the lesson on foam cores. I've been using the honeycomb after hearing about it on "Onboard Lifestyle" where Teal built a completely new interior of their project cat. That part of their channel might be interesting to you if you haven't found it yet. I learned a lot from his videos. Mr Albert always gave me good deals on stuff from demo boats, thats probably a good place to be doing a restoration. I'm in Merritt island if you ever need a helper. I know a lot of things are easier if you have someone to hold the other end of something or hand you tools when working in a hole. There are two youtuber boats being restored at my dock now and you will be welcome if you can fit under the low bridge going in here. I've been watching your project with great interest. We're planning to cruise the keys next summer and Bahamas the year after if you'd like to come along. Bring your boat if its in the water, or crew with one of us. Best of luck with your project. Let me know if you'd like any help at any point.
There is NEVER enough good tech advice anywhere,please keep teaching us more of the secrets of the trade, you are good at it.
You are clear and to the point ,you deserve more viewers .
I appreciate that! I'm not exactly an expert, but I'll share what I learn.
You have more determination in your pinky than anyone I know! Very inspiring, Good luck! I will be your biggest cheerleader!
Thanks Mike!!
Love your techniques to bring the structures back into alignment. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
You asked so here's my opinion as a content creator on this platform self. Split the videos so you have one tech min and one boat build videos a week giving you 2 videos a week. Having 2 videos a week not only helps you grow as far as the TH-cam algorithm but its also better financially. I only speak for my self but I would definitely watch both video.

Your the most fearless, most interesting, a agreat FITTER ( I am a retired Fitter) and I don't drop that compliment often.
Please continue your videos, there EXECELLCENT.
GETTING YOUR engines running so fast was impressive.
Say's a "LOT" for the support you got from the Antares company.
Yes, they are really a great company.
That is really good that Antares is willing to help you like that.
Thoroughly enjoyed your segment on the merits of the different foam cores. Keep it up.
Thanks! stayed tuned for fiberglass cloth and resin coming up!!
Very interesting stuff Bryan. Can't wait to hear about the fiberglass. Awesome explanation about leveling the roof! You're eating this elephant one bite at a time.
Bryan Sailing I want to learn sailing! Where should I start ?
Great episode! Way to shout out Boat Works Today. That channel is where I am learning about fiberglassing as well.
Thanks. Andy also gave me permission to use some of his clips on my channel so you'll be seeing more of Boat Works Today here
@@BryanSailing keep up the great work. Andy does not get to work on many (if any) catamarans. So watching you do this on a cat is incredibly helpful
Best diy channel for rebuilding a hurricane boat for sure
Thanks, that quite a compliment.
That's cool that Antares is willing to help you save one of their boats instead of the usual "we don't want to be held liable blah blah" non sense!
I know it's great and they didn't even make the boat. It was made by PDQ who had the molds before they bought them.
its great that the factory is willing to help with parts down the track
From what I can gather in watching your videos, your reasoning and approach to reconstructing your boat is sound and professional. You've obviously done your homework in terms of research, and I believe you are moving in the right direction. I'd love to offer you assistance (I'm a retired naval architect and marine engineer) however I'm located quite a distance away (Downeast Maine), making the commute a bit strenuous for an old fart.
Moral support is almost as good. Thanks!!
Hell you're doing a fine job, whether you put it in there from front to back, or beginning to the end, you're very informative and you're doing a fine job I enjoy your videos because you do pack the information in there ,and you're one of those kind of guys that if you don't know, you'll get a manual, unlike some I know where I'm going I don't need a map, you are a matter of fact kind of guy, I don't think I've ever seen anybody do a better job of showing a sequence on how a job is done, there are a lot of blowhards out there that like to be heard but and talk talk talk and by the end of 15-20 minutes they've not set a dog on word, your precise and to the point and it usually takes the only 15 or 20 minutes to get it done, my hat's off to you sir good narration, good enunciation, in good explanations, yes sir find job.

Another great video, man you have some work to do but i can say your the right man for the job. Well done
I love this series. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us.
Glad you enjoy it! The TH-cam project is turning out to be almost as fun as the boat project and comments like yours keep me going.
Really educational, thank you. I liked the tech minute in the episode like that.
I think a lot of your followers, me included, are geeking out over the tech talk.
Yes, please... "more tech minutes" very good stuff!
Very cool that you are taking on such a big project. I dont even know where I would start!
Knowing where to start is one of the hardest part. This might end up the theme of an upcoming video!
After watching these videos, I have 2 wishes now:
1) 6/49 jackpot. Just 1 million is ok, I'm not greedy.
2) More hurricane please.
It’s great to see the comparison of the different types of foams/cores, usually you only hear about what they are selling and the one they want to rubbish! Glad you’re not even considering end grain balsa! BIG Project! Keep up the great work! 😎🏖🌴☀️🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it! Balsa is stronger than foam but there is that rot issue. Had a balsa core boat once....
Hi Bryan - Please keep the detail video's coming. They are truly informative. Wish you would give more details on the window joint. Looking forward to more detail video's. Thank you
more details on the windows post on the way --- spoiler--- including grinding it all back out 😢

Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, another great video, very informative, love the tech tips and nice to see you getting some progress on some glass work, it is going to make a big difference once the glass work is done, but wow it;s a lot of work, thanks for sharing and keep making the videos!
Glad you enjoyed it. It'll be a ton a work, but I'm still having fun at this point.
Good tech talk, great project, keep up the good work can’t wait to see the progress
Thanks, will do!
I like the overview of core. Big project - it’s impressive to see you taking it bit by bit. Looking forward to seeing more videos.
More to come!
Man that is one scary looking project. Love your videos, would like to see them longer and more often but realize you've got your hands full. Keep up the good work!
I'll work on making them more frequent and longer, it's a little tough will my regular job right now. I hope that changes soon
Just started watching you. Very well done. Impressed by the fact you know what your doing. Your going to be right there with Boatworks and Sail life
Wow, that's a compliment comparing me to 2 of my TH-cam heroes.
You definitely have your work cut out for you great content we'll be watching for your next one 👌💃👍👀👀✌
I can't add a single thing, but I'm subscribed and watching.
OMG. Sailor you got big balls!
I hope this goes great for you !

So interesting to watch what you’re doing and such a huge endeavor! I’ve been at the boatyard for about a month now so I totally understand what you’ve taken on, it’s incredible, it truly is. Thanks so much for the video....like I really need to see somebody work so hard....I love it though even though I’m so exhausted my my own work! Take care my friend!

Thanks. Many months (and new videos) to go for me still. Hope all goes well with your boat project.
I am a sucker for a boat project too. Just finished my 12th Boston Whaler project. Keep the progress going..........
Time to start on Boston Whaler #13 😁
Great video Bryan! Like the intro! Also good news on the manufacturer! Also on the transport, run what ya brung!
Nice work Bryan. Great inspirational and informative videos made in your own style. Love the detail you’re going into with the build. 👍
Thanks Time, I appreciate that!
Im so glad I found your chl , great info
Welcome aboard Alan!
Very very cool leaving comments for TH-cam algorithms
Balls the size of a bull elephant. Wish I could help with such noble and courageous hedonism.... when man meets mountain, bite off a chunk and chew like a crazy man, love ya style.
Wow! Thanks for joining 🐘
excellent love watching the videos
Great episode , keep up the great work
Using 'peel ply' ?
Great to smooth out glassing, especially if laying multiple layers, removes the wax off the surface when it's set - no sanding to take the next laminate, also less fairing compound needed prepping later for that paint job.
gotta love peel ply
I was told the strength of the foam does not really matter but.. resistance to compression is key.
Foam only server as 'spacer' between inner and outer layer of glass. Works a bit like reenforced concrete.
I'm not an engineer, but from an engineering perspective, it's true the foam doesn't take most of the load. The center is the neutral axis and the farther away from the center you are the more load is applied, however if the foam is not strong enough to keep the two skins separate, but still in one piece it will fail, it's really a balancing act. I could write a lot about how it works, but it would be boring, reinforced concrete is a good example for the fiberglass and resign. For foam sandwich, an I beam is a better example where the strength is the top and bottom and the skinny layer separates them.
@@BryanSailing indeed a better example I or H beam. Foam has to withstand compression so as to keep inside and outside layers seperate.
awesome job...keep the videos coming.. looking forward for the next one
Thanks 👍
Great project! Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
I would like to see a time lapse of you doing the work, it will take some of the explanation out, which you do nicely, but showing can sometimes be better than explaining. We enjoy your videos and hearing what/why you are choosing a product/method . Thank you, keep the videos coming :)
I'll work on trying to get more time-lapse in, but it's a technical challenge as I'm still trying to figure out my workflow and how to integrate filming into it. I feel like I'm always starting the time-lapse and them have to work in another area and by the time I get back the battery dies or the wind blows the camera over. Sometimes I have my gloves on covered with resin when I realize I forgot to start the camera lol. I'm sure it will get better as I go on.
Fair play man, progress!!
Thanks, slowly but surely. Just like sailing it's the journey not just the destination⛵⛵
Great stuff really enjoy your videos
Much appreciated
looks good enough to me man
I like how you work it out
You Sir ROCK.
Well I just finished the videos and I am ready to see you build the boat. I have a passion for this and will be following along. Do you have a schedule for the release of videos? I also like "sale life" and have been following him for a few years. I am so happy for you Bryan, Good for you to follow your passion.
Welcome aboard! I'm going to try weekly, but it might be every other week until my work schedule eases up.
Love the core lesson
Thanks
Good info again.
I did not know they sold 4x8 sheets of foam that cost $300 but I do now lol. Loving the videos, very informative, keep it up :)
Crazy, you would think it would be made of gold. Aloha🏖
There is another gentleman from Belgium who is currently doing some extensive refitting of a Warrior 33. The channel is called 'Sail Life'. I forgot the type of core he used to completely refit the deck with, but it was extensive. Check out his channel. You'll see some extensive DIY projects. Good luck and thanks for the upload.
Sail Life is a great channel. Athena is cool boat and he has done a great job with it.
You certainly take on tough projects.
When you get to repairing the holes in hulls that now have hot patches, try taking a look at Parlay Revival's youtube from late 2019 and early 2020. He bought a hurricane damaged catamaran in BVI's in 2017. Different brand of catamaran using different core materials above waterline, but techniques may prove useful.
Also- can the mast be sleeved or is it too far gone in too may places?
As far as making a new rudder- check out Sail Life youtube from 2019 where owner made new rudder for his 38' monohull.
Good to see you working!!! very interesting
Great work doing good job with the content you have guts to take the challenge on
no guts... no glory 😁
Thank you! The first small step of hundreds more.... It's good to be getting things done
Amazing project boat! Thanks for the lesson on foam cores. I've been using the honeycomb after hearing about it on "Onboard Lifestyle" where Teal built a completely new interior of their project cat. That part of their channel might be interesting to you if you haven't found it yet. I learned a lot from his videos. Mr Albert always gave me good deals on stuff from demo boats, thats probably a good place to be doing a restoration. I'm in Merritt island if you ever need a helper. I know a lot of things are easier if you have someone to hold the other end of something or hand you tools when working in a hole. There are two youtuber boats being restored at my dock now and you will be welcome if you can fit under the low bridge going in here. I've been watching your project with great interest. We're planning to cruise the keys next summer and Bahamas the year after if you'd like to come along. Bring your boat if its in the water, or crew with one of us. Best of luck with your project. Let me know if you'd like any help at any point.
Yes, keep in touch it would be fun to go cruising. I promised the friends I made in the Bahamas to go back and visit when I get the boat done.
Great video, keep it up !
Thanks, will do!
