We're kind of doing that with bulkhead 9 now, but it was such a production just to get the transom out of the yard, into the tent (through the rear, by the stern), and then get it LIFTED into place, that we had to wait until we could get some long term help with us before we could accomplish that. It's been interesting though. 🙂
@Go Surf yes, first they should get at least a Tarot Card and maybe even an astrology reading to make sure this is a good path. Then, of course, wear a crown of healing energy crystals for at least a week while only sleeping aligned north. Only then should they embark on a detox program...LoL.
You forgot to tell them to lick there own elbows first ... Everyone knows that the sweat of the elbow has healing properties akin to supercharged Fairy Dust ... Rookie Mistake !!
What an amazing team you two are. Very few marriages have husband and wife teaming up to accomplish a monumental task like building a giant catamaran. I am super impressed.
Okay, so this is probably the most technical placement of bulkheads on the project, and you guys measured and remeasured and remeasured again. Good job, that last transom piece will probably go on without a hitch. We can see that the work of building this kit will be mostly the same - the same process. For some people it would drive them crazy to have to do the same steps for 20 or 22 months, however, you two will be absolute experts by then. It should be comforting to know that you have these skills down at this point. Also, the comments by Mr. Roach and others sure comes in handy! And the time lapse of the storm coming in was spectacular, cheers!
that's some great team work, that's nothing like a good Phx storm, thunder and lightning started at 12:30a last night, since my pup cannot handle the thunder, I just opened the front shades, sat on couch with her and watched a light show for 3 hours, what a night!
Great episode. Instead of dealing with trying to get the mixed filet resin into the bag, have you tried putting a bag(large ziplock or similar) into your mixing pot and then adding the resin, MEKP, fillers and mixing them together in the bag in the pot? Ross on 'Life on the Hulls' appears to use this method with good success. He is building a cat from molds.
Oh sweet Jeeeeeeeeeesus? 79 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on down to Phoenix and I’ll invite you into some compartments or situations where we are working in 160-170 degree ambient. I carry my tools in a 5 gallon bucket filled with ice!!!!!!!! 79 degrees, why I oughta! You should weep for me! Airplanes are HOT! We regularly see tarmac temps near 180 degrees! Awesome weather by the way. I know sun, sun, sun, sun, oh look a cloud, sun, sun…. I lived aboard my Ericsson 38-200 for eight years, sailed everywhere. Thinking about getting another one.🤔
During your intro section I always think you are saying " After 8 years of living a pneumatic life" I know you are saying nomadic but the idea of living a pneumatic life has some very unique possibilities. :)
I have no idea how you have the control or patience to do this. I take I my hats of to you - I would just be screaming at the boat and bulkheads on a regular basis out of frustration. Well unless you just do that off camera :)
Wow. That storm coming in is amazing. I used to love sitting down on the beach watching them roll in as well. It's really amazing what you guys are doing given you have never done a project like this before. I would still be at the measuring parts over and over again and I laughed when Matt said something like he'd still stuff it up! Yes, yes, yes. I hear you there brother. I am amazed when I get it right, which my wife says is more often than getting it wrong. It's a team job and you guys are such a joy to watch. I'm currently watching two boat builds and it's really an eye opener with regards to the different skills needed to build two totally different vehicles that will essentially be doing the same thing, sailing. The other boat I am watching is being made predominantly out of wood. They've been building it for about 4 years, two guys, one's a carpenter/adventure junky and the other is just a friend who wanted to start the project with his buddy. So seeing the different skills needed for both builds is very educational and seeing how you all evolve with learning new skills. Anyway, I am enjoying both builds and loving the journey you are all on. A journey that I will never do. So thank you for letting us have a peek into your lives.
@@Movieman1965 it's Acorn To Arabella. I highly recommend you start from video 1. It may seem boring but it is really great to see the very start. th-cam.com/users/AcornToArabella
Don't kid yourself. They're having a great time! Who wouldn't want to have the all the time, $$$ and enthusiasm to build their own cat? I would say the stress is pretty low. They've got a keen builder in Vietnam holding their proverbial hands that wants this to be a huge success and tons of other advisors/fans offering support and actual aide. It's a dream-come-true for budding DIY boat builders like these two.
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but have you ever consider installing a portable air-conditioner and a couple of overhead fans to lower the temperature ? Overhead fans would not create a breeze they would just circulate the air allowing the air-conditioner to be more effective. Love watching your videos, you are doing a fantastic job.
Watching the time-lapse it was easy to see someone was doing a lot more sprinting and climbing and it wasn’t the scruffy guy. 🏃🏼♀️ To his credit he’s got a cool technique. Seriously though, it’s startling how good y’all become laying glass. Respect.
I get so captivated by your show it seems that it is only 5 minutes long great job I mean holy shit knowing it is all done by you is going to be so great!!!
Fabulous idea on the body detox‼️ Sooooooo important. Back 30- years ago, we did not know that when my bride worked with glass cleaner (no names, but we all know) all day for 20-years in her frame shop. Over time, without detox, she developed an autoimmune issue that eventually destroyed her liver. My bride is now 3-years post liver transplant. A H. U. G. E. deal at the cost of 1/2 $Million....just for the operation not counting all the pre and post stuff and anti-rejection drugs for life......and more. Yes do the detox‼️‼️👍🏻✌🏻️🙂
15:33 Head band keeps sweat from getting into you eyes. I just tear a rag about 3" wide and 30" long. Fold into 1/3'rds. Pull it across the forehead...1/2 knot in the back...pull snug. I don't leave home without it.
You both amaze me. I remain shocked at what you have taken on - and yet after watching what you did on your last vessel, I'm super happy to know you'll see this through to completion....pulling for you both!
You two share such an amazing relationship. So blessed to have all that it takes. Not only time and knowledge base. But the friendship also. Everything is looking like it's going well. She is really coming along. BTW, I'm I the only one that noticed the eyes when she said "Watch the show come in"? Oh my my....
The Resin going off fast issue. As someone else mentioned, its probably the extra catalyst that @Mr.Roach mentioned. But there is one other possibility. The Resin Promotion (amount of Cobalt in it). There is such a thing as summer promotion and winter promotion. From the production factory, Resin comes without the 2 parts that make it Harden. Usually the supplier adds one of the components (Cobalt) and you add the other, the Catalyst (MEKP). In a perfect world we would be adding both Cobalt and Catalyst ourselves. And this happens (at least in Australia) when your purchasing like 50 or more 44 Gallon drums of the stuff at a time. But for smaller quantities, the cobalt is added in the quantity required for the weather (more for Winter, less for Summer) usually by the supplier. The reason is there is a catch with adding Cobalt and Catalyst. You cant mix them together. They dont play well together. Translation: they burst into flames and burn rather energetically - not what you want in an area where your working with Resins - and the fumes are particularly nasty. You cant even transport the 2 chemicals together. They are both considered dangerous goods and must be transported and stored separately. Anyway, long story short (and I think its more likely too much catalyst that's the issue here) but you can sometimes get older batches of Resin that were winter promoted sold to you in Sumer and they go off much quicker in the heat. Just something to consider.
We've stayed away from doing that because we don't want to take the chance that the catalyst will not fully mix in with all the resin if done in the bag. It seems like there would be a lot of cracks and crevices which would be hard to thoroughly mix.
It’s grate to see the skills you 2 have picked up and the knowledge with all the extra strength you are putting into all the joints it would be Interesting to see the weight difference from yours to the factory made I would take yours any day “make it right for life “
I live in Kansas - far from any ocean, but find your videos very interesting. Have watched from the beginning of this build and will continue! Good luck on the build.
I like to create templates (cardboard or thin MDF) when dry fitting isn't feasible/desirable, measuring is great, but difficult in a complex molded component. Perhaps with the gap tolerances you are working with this is just a non-issue. Looking great though.
Truly awesome! Leo is doing bulkheads on Tallyho now. Your teams are about equal now in the build sequence- mezmerizing watching the two techs build out.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG OR DIFFERENT IN YOUR RESIN!!!! At 15:33 In Your Time Line - You can see extra hardener running out of the center filler tube from your squeeze bottle!!!! .. Its the very FINE STREAM that comes out AFTER your poured in what your measured! Your commenter MR.ROACH saw it first, NEVER TURN A RESIN BOTTLE UPSIDE DOWN OR EXTRA RESIN WILL COME OUT THE CENTER FILLER TUBE! - Should Always listen to Mr. Roach, hes the man when it come to fiberglass
@@robarmstrong7389 They must not read all their comments, Mr. Roach who saw her make this mistake has offered a few times in the past to stop by and give them some tips and tricks on De-Airing the right way (Rolling) and structure tips, and to maybe even lend a hand, hes only 20 miles away from them and has a wall of trophies & awards for building the worlds Fastest & Largest Catamarans ever built! crickets?
Nice work truing up the bulkhead. On the resin, double check you batching method. Confirm the mixing volumes and do some test batches. Also, keep your resin, hardener and filler as close to design temperature as possible. We air condition in the summer and heat in the winter to keep the mix as stable as possible.
Funny I live in SW NM summer temps sometimes 110+* about May 20th I start playing in my garage about 1-2 AM and quit 9-10.. sleep from 2 till 7-8.. just switched back over to garage 11 AM -1 till 6-7 (still 76 @ 7 PM). 6 AM temps are hitting low 50s but we can still get afternoon high 80s. Gotta live with what mom hands you - sun rain wind or shake, she is in control.
Try mission brand cooling towels. I use mine all the time. Wet it snap the cloth it drops to ac level cold if it warms and is still wet snap the cloth again. Very cool tech.
Thanks Christopher. We used cooking towels before, but with all the fiberglass dust on everything - including us - anything wet gets dirty way too quick.
Looking forward to Annapolis Sailboat Show, will you be there all 4 days including Thursday, the preview day ? I hope to come by and meet you both if you have a schedule or anything you're planning to follow vs being trapped there all day. I'm sure you both want to wander around the show just like all of us !
Are you guys doing anything for the Annapolis show? It would be cool to see your boat build. My wife and I are actually staying on Kent Island (the narrows) during the show.
We will have a 1 hour slot at the TH-camrs booth each day during the show, and one of the evenings we are doing a meet and greet with Patrons to show the build. 😃
Lost track of how many times Jessica went up and down the ladder. Youth, leg muscles must be strong! Jason spends much time bent over glassing! Wow, you two are like beavers continually working, the dream goes on! Blessings!
just a heads up, i dont want to be that guy!(visitor @ parlay revival) i am going to the boat show and i would like to come visit your build,but not unannounced.!youguys are doing great work!
Warning!!! Warning!!! armchair expert about to comment. 😁😁😀 I notice you are relying on the fillet and tabbing to hold the bulkheads in place. This could give you problems later as the boat settles, with random squeaks and groans as she flexes through wave and swell action. It would be better to lay a bead of filler between the deck, sides and panel before filleting and tabbing so they can't move relative to each other. It's not my boat so can only say what I would have done. Jessica, I used to love going to a vantage point in the nearby hills to watch the storms roll in across the plains. Cheers Eric
Bagging, watch Life on the hulls, he puts plastic bag into cup before adding filler, mix, prepare then simply pull out bag, squeeze and cut top for laying
Love the way you guys strive for perfection in your work and the problem solving methods you come up with, but I always wonder what and how George is doing.
Jessica could u number all your video from the beginning...it will make it easier for us late Comer's to visit your channel...as it is now it's so jumbled up.. keep on with the details progress n best wishes.🙏💗
Have you started a new batch of hardener? That might explain the resin curing faster. Store the hardener in a dark cool place - light and heat degrade it over time.
That workout you get up and down that ladder is something, Do you wear a pedometer ? It might be interesting to see the mileage you put in ! On a more serious note ... Do ye often play Doctors and Nurses ? LOL Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
This is cool. This is way cool. Jokingly I can't figure out if you guys are crazy or brilliant. Maybe just crazily brilliant. I have to admit that I'm learning a whole lot about fiberglassing. The more I see the less concerned I am about bulkhead buckling. Where do you get those cooling vest. - got to get one of those.
thanks for saying fillet instead of cove. As a guy who took boatbuilding in HS, 35+ years ago, I kinda cringed. But hey, you are actually building a boat no matter how you call things.
Matt&Jessica. The Cat is looking great Have you thought of the 3M full head air Mask with air Filter? I think they would be more cooling and would keep you Two Face getting fiberglass material. Just a Thought
Why not put the transom piece on first then do the other to bulkheads
We're kind of doing that with bulkhead 9 now, but it was such a production just to get the transom out of the yard, into the tent (through the rear, by the stern), and then get it LIFTED into place, that we had to wait until we could get some long term help with us before we could accomplish that.

You work so well together and are very meticulous in your work. This makes my OCD very happy.
Cooling Vest, you are so lucky mate, I would wait till it hits 45degrees before donning that piece of gear. Crazy kit.
Matt would never even be able to make it to 45, lol, I think he'd melt into a puddle!
Building a boat, makes you very fit, rundning around like that!
👍😎
Were I part of that project, there would be tears and crying at times. Blessings to you.
this sail boat is going to be better put together than most Lagoon's sail boats

Your either crazy or committed. Also both of you are very talented
Great work. Glad to see you both balance the testy times. Thanks n Kudos, Ottobhan

When mixing the thickened resin for the fillets. Try putting the bag in the cup then mix in the bag. No hassles trying to fill the bag
We've stayed away from doing that because we don't want to take the chance that the catalyst will not fully mix in with all the resin if done in the bag. It seems like there would be a lot of cracks and crevices which would be hard to thoroughly mix.

Bagging, watch Life on the hulls, he puts plastic bag into cup before adding filler, mix, prepare then simply pull out bag, squeeze and cut top for laying
so cool excellent work folks makes you think abot how cheap the lagoons and other producation boats are made with just glue and playwood bulk heads
Love the way you guys strive for perfection in your work and the problem solving methods you come up with, but I always wonder what and how George is doing.
Seen the Chinook fly over. Are you guys near an Army Airfield? Was a flight engineer in another life.
We're about 30 miles from DC, so we get a number of different crafts passing over us. 🙂
Wow, I expected to see a tornado touch down. That looked ominous.
We've had a few of them throughout the summer, and I LOVE watching them come in. Especially since the rain always stays just north of us. 😃
Jessica could u number all your video from the beginning...it will make it easier for us late Comer's to visit your channel...as it is now it's so jumbled up.. keep on with the details progress n best wishes.🙏💗
Each episode has its number in chronological order after the title name. This one is MJ Sailing - Ep 205. 😉
@@MJSailing okay got it... TQ... happy building n happy sailing.
Have you started a new batch of hardener? That might explain the resin curing faster.
Store the hardener in a dark cool place - light and heat degrade it over time.
You are talking beer fridge. or at least an electric cooler.
I’m getting tired watching you go up and down those stairs!Lol, good work!
Great Job!!! Thank You… :-)
That workout you get up and down that ladder is something, Do you wear a pedometer ? It might be interesting to see the mileage you put in !
On a more serious note ... Do ye often play Doctors and Nurses ? LOL Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!
This is cool. This is way cool. Jokingly I can't figure out if you guys are crazy or brilliant. Maybe just crazily brilliant. I have to admit that I'm learning a whole lot about fiberglassing. The more I see the less concerned I am about bulkhead buckling. Where do you get those cooling vest. - got to get one of those.
She's looking more and more like a boat.
If you have an Old refridgerator put the resin in it before you mix in hardener it will extend your work time. You may know the hack?
thanks for saying fillet instead of cove. As a guy who took boatbuilding in HS, 35+ years ago, I kinda cringed. But hey, you are actually building a boat no matter how you call things.
Matt&Jessica. The Cat is looking great Have you thought of the 3M full head air Mask with air Filter? I think they would be more cooling and would keep you Two Face getting fiberglass material. Just a Thought
Those are awesome, but way outside of our budget.... Typically around $1000
