- In this episode, we make all the necessary preparations and start taping the ringframes into the hulls.
If you are new to the propulsion series of episodes, we suggest you start from here:

Wilda is a Schionning Wilderness 1340 sailing catamaran. She is being finished in a shed outside Melbourne. Wilda will be powered by the Sun, the Wind and the Sea...
This youtube channel is our way of sharing this project with friends, family and those interested in our adventure of building her and getting her into the water!
We are newbies to filming and video editing, but learning as we go.
We appreciate your kind and/or constructive comments, suggestions and feedback and we'd be happy to see that you like, subscribe and share our videos! Thank you!

You both work well together it is a pleasure to watch your videos
Thanks
Most of the time 🤣
You two are so. Very lucky having each other to share the dream …. Believe me it’s not easy when one person looses faith ! So keep going you are both wonderful
It's not easy! That's for sure. Thanks 🙏
Experience with fiberglass work, I feel my whole back start to itch when I see Axel lying on his back under the boat. It is always fun to take part in your wonderful collaboration and relationship with each other.
A few more spots to sand under the hulls ... With the dust and spiders and the mask and all! In the cold! 🤣 Looking forward to it...... 😭
Always enjoy watching what you guys do, and or the way you go about it. Progress, slow but it's coming along nicely. 👍😎 really enjoy your videos.
Good
Thanks
Looking great, can’t wait to see how those electric mothers will work
Nor can we!
Had a big win yesterday! Should be getting some progress in quickly over the next few weeks.
Well done, this a massive amount of work (x2 because it is a cat 😉) to make such structurally significant modifications to the hull(s). You have both done a fantastic job.😀👍⛵️
Thanks.
Yes.
But there was already a hole there and plans for bigger ones. For lifting oytboards. We just made it a little bit bigger 🤣
loving the blend of interpersonal relationship and work efficiency, just how a couple negotiates relationship and work. makes for intriguing episodes .
Thanks 😊
Mostly we get along while we work 😁 And we always get more done together than if we both had worked on our own for the same time.
Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Such a clever idea
And hopefully it will work out ok
looking good guys, we will have to drop in and take a close look when its done.....
Thanks 🙏
Slow progress lately. Looking forward to seeing you again. How are you getting along?
Coming along fantastic guys .
I was wondering for the whole episode if that tube was going to fit, and you made it a cliffhanger!
🤣🤣 gotta try something different to keep people interested 🙈😀
Yeah that was kinda mean. I’m guessing yes, it fits. : )
Liked the engine opening comparisons to: an engine pod/drive cutout, a hole for an outboard to go up/down, instead an electric motor.
Bigger than a sail drive leg, but unlike that or a hole for a shaft, the opening is well above the waterline. (Once the moon pool is in)
You need to give the drive system a catchy name and patent it.
The problem is Bluettie. have similar systems and others have developed drops down bow thrusters.. But thankfully these two are happy enough to develop their own approach .
It's a bold move but if you want to try something there's nothing like having a go at one to one scale 😊😎🤞🏻👍🏻.
Great video as usual. A bit of a cliffhanger tho. I wanted to see if the aluminum thingy fitted. Always net week. Cheers
I wish progress was faster. More coming up though
With all the talk of no1 and no2, I wondered if vectored thrust dunny's might be the goal!
🤣
Great work I bet you were ichy
🤣 a constant state of various grades of itchy...
@buildingwilda I know this too well I was ichy just watching but your project is impressive and one day not too far away the ichyness will be over and the adventures will be well underway
Great progress! Is the propulsion just going to go up and down or will it also turn like an outboard?
Up and down to start with.
Adding a azimuth control when we are on the water.
They will turn more than an outboard. +/-135 degrees is my thinking right now... Perhaps+/-180 but that shouldn't be necessary.
How thick is the catamaran hull at ring frame location. It looks to be extremely thick.
The hull is 25 mm thick. Plus extra glass and filler, so near 30 mm
On average, the ring is about 100 mm tall around the hole. Pretty stiff and strong.
Not much gets done here. Sorry it’s boring to watch a month of the same work.
May I suggest to you to never do any boat work..... and let others do their work.
@@patrickschiess1660 I have done lots of boat and airplane fiberglassing.
Sorry you think so... And yes, we wish work was moving along faster.... Hopefully we can pick up the pace for a while.
@@buildingwilda Your work is outstanding and real professional. Are you concerned in anyway about the reliability? I myself is not a big fan of electric propulsion and would rather stick with a traditional diesel engine. Anyway keep up the good work. Sorry to be so harsh.
There are many ways to view this....
Electric is super simple (and therefore reliable) in comparison to diesel...
Battery cable controller motor
One serviceable part .. bearings. (Replace after a really long time)
So reliability is great. No fuel issues, water issues, air issues...
Electronic issues are comparable to those of a modern diesel...
And I don't have to carry a tonne of spares...
But I can't run for days on end .. So there are definitely trade offs.
