I love this project. Thank you so much for choosing this path for your life. Hopefully you can monetize your talents to a level that you can continue for a very long time. You guys are very talented. I can't wait to see The Inspector in a life jacket instead of a safety vest.
Your skills are shown very well in this video. That frame is absolutely gorgeous!! A friend of mine and I had to give up parting out a rotted 1930s Chris Craft because we couldn't figure out how to divide the most beautiful knotted steering wheel. Everything else there were 2 of. Touring naval ships is a great way to see knotted objects. I love this project.
You should make the cockpit hatch so it can be unlatched from inside the water-tight area as well. That would give the kids room another way to exit the boat in an emergency. It will also allow them to sneak out when they are teenagers .........
I think out of all of the materials I've watched you guys use over the hundred videos I've seen from you two, carbon fiber always seems the most satisfying to watch.
Wow almost up to 100,000 subscribers! I really like your videos and your project. Someday I hope to see you three sail her. Let's help them get to 100K. Please subscribe. It's painless and free!
How you going to seal around the hinge? Why did you not put the flange on the bulkhead with an embedded o-ring for sealing and let the front of the door seal up against it and if there was any flooding it would push the door even harder against the seal .
that wasnt a messy job i have been playing with fiberglass if i had of done it it would be messy you are a smoothy spreading that stuff you ever try decorating cakes
Nice job on the door. That is a gorgeous frame. As far as rudder protection… those rudder stocks are huge, and I know you’re not up for more projects, but what did you and your NA think about skegs, even smaller ones to at least help deflect debris? They might help with small logs… but not with shipping containers. I shudder when I think about all the serious junk in the ocean.
The flange of your door needs to be on the side where you expect flooding to occur. If Indeed you expect the aft compartment to flood, you need to have your engineer calculate how much load the water filled compartment will generate against the door when it is closed. Forget a hinge and put 2 handles on the access side of door with 4 dog down hatch handles on the access side. If you need a drawing of what I suggest, let me know in a reply below.
I like your clever solution for the door issue. Did you also consider keeping the door the same size but making the flange on the inside of the bulkhead instead?
I would make the system room watertight so in case of a rudder failure all the systems will continue to work. Flooded Gen, engine etc. something I would try to avoid.
I am no expert but I think I would consider some sort of fared in skeg in front of those rudders. I know a lot of work. But the very thought of a log / submerged container smacking into those rudders would give me sleepless nights. The Keel would take the brunt of such a collision but if it deflected onto the rudders it would be bad news.This is not the racing boat it was but I think it will still move faster through the water than the average 5 - 7 Kts of most sail boats.
if you find importance to layup carbonfiber in the dooropening for strength to the bulkhead, you might want to revisit the cutoff insert that was cut from the door and epoxied into said bulkhead.. that could be a weak spotthere?,,
Looks like the door is still going to open 90* . Still think it would be better opening the other way unless there is future equipment that needs the opening door space.
The flange has not enough distance to the wall since the gasket needs space. Would you have made the flange with a second piece of core, this issue could have been corrected and the door is more stable with less glass.
Just curious what do you want the flange a little flexible so it could stick to the door with water pressure kind of like a rubber Seal on Regular door
Can't you just also add some kind of build around the rudders that would perhaps not stop, but slow water intrusion if they got hit? Systems under water arent cheap to replace.
To the age of 4 or 5??? I got news for you two..."breed shetlands, you get shetlands!" Ha! Unless a recessive gene has runamuck in the pool! DBL ha! Goodonyas! Entertaining as always and technically superior work!
great video 2x👍 I always wonder why watertight bulkheads cant have somewhere to pump in air. That way you could keep some water out by slightly pressurising the chamber. Im not a navel architect as you can probably tell.
Does anyone manufacture a break-a-way coupling for thru shafts? I rep a company that manufactures break away couplings for hydrants and would be interested in knowing a little more your rudder shafts.
Dude Dude Dude you only glued that bottom piece in. Why don't you slap a few layers of fiberglass on either side to make sure no torque or and kind of slamming will not just pop that piece out. Especially if there is water intrusion in there. It will not hold for sure. Yeah you put the carbon fiber around the edge to strengthen it. But not enough to hold it from all that pressure of that door with water behind it. Personally I would have placed fiberglass over the top to each side after the carbon fiber inlay
I cut a tiny door, to convince my under 4 year old to go I. And out of. Then he be to big. Wild. And BTW, I cut it wrong. And BTW, 😂😂😂 I may not get the boat done and using it, before he turns 4. 😂😂😂😅. Some videos may be better not posted. Latch seal pressure needs to be greater then 7lbs, , dad, can you open the door for me.😂😂.
17:50 That frame is insane!!

The door looks great. I love the picture and frame. I also like the photo of Mike Plant cranking the winch with the world trade center behind him.
17:50 I was about to leave the video and seen that frame and my mouth was just gaping wide open in awe. Wonderful gift and craftsman"ship"!!
I like that door and the picture frame is da boss!
That frame is absolutely gorgeous!
could you have swapped the swing of the door or would it have opened into equipment?
You should make the cockpit hatch so it can be unlatched from inside the water-tight area as well. That would give the kids room another way to exit the boat in an emergency. It will also allow them to sneak out when they are teenagers .........
You do a great job all the time and it will pay off half way around the world when it's unexpectedly put to the test.
That’s knot a frame. That’s a work of art. ❤
J'apprécie le "voilà" 😊
Great video as always
Today's been a stressful day. Your video just popped up and put a smile on my face. Always a pleasure
Can you imagine the time involved in making that frame! That is beautiful
Yes, with bearings below the water line this is a great safety project!
Beautiful picture !
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Another step nearer to launch.
"Voilà" a great video as usual !
Hello from France 🙂
I would glue a lil stop to hull for that door (just before it hits the hull), or you will wear the edges out over time.
Quelle patience !! Bravo !!
I think out of all of the materials I've watched you guys use over the hundred videos I've seen from you two, carbon fiber always seems the most satisfying to watch.
A pleasure to watch as always 🙏
Excellent travail! Good Job! Merci...
It is fun to follow you through this project!
Great work on that door.
Great Job on the hatch!! Great job on the videography and editing too! You guys are awesome. 😍😍
You have such skill and patience matt
Wow what a picture frame
You are very meticulous and ingenious Matt. Such great work. (From Australia)
Nice!

Moving along Matt. U guys stay safe and have a Merry Christmas…
That’s one well built door…hinges needs to be strong also and locking mechanism well thought out for an airtight door.
Why not just put the hing on the other side ?
Probably doesn’t want to fill a systems room with a swinging door, every inch counts.
If the compartment floods the water pressure will push the hatch shut and make it seal tighter!
Greatest project ever
I keep watching and keep saying no way I’m going on a boat glued together! Lol
Super cool 😎
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Two access points, thats what she said. Wow that picture frame is pectacular.
Are you hiding the new door for the inspector ? ;)
Thanks again
Love the music,
Can there be an episode about making a door-proof sink? Not even sure what that would mean, but it would go really well with this episode.
That photo and frame are beautiful! THAT is craftsmanship. (See what I did there? 😄 Ship? ) ((Small things amuse small minds.))

Within the first minute, I'm thinking of the snowpiercers engine compartment.
if you find importance to layup carbonfiber in the dooropening for strength to the bulkhead, you might want to revisit the cutoff insert that was cut from the door and epoxied into said bulkhead.. that could be a weak spotthere?,,
I would hinge it on the top. But that’s just me.😊
Haha, good French pronunciation. 😊😊
Hinge it the other way?
I was curious also as to why it couldnt just swing the other direction and have a catch on the bulk head to hold it open?
Water pressure in the event of flooding would keep it sealed.
any thought to putting in another bulkhead just forward of the rudders to keep your systems dry in the event of rudder damage?
Looks like the door is still going to open 90* . Still think it would be better opening the other way unless there is future equipment that needs the opening door space.
The flange has not enough distance to the wall since the gasket needs space. Would you have made the flange with a second piece of core, this issue could have been corrected and the door is more stable with less glass.
💪💪💪👍
You could have put the flange on the inside of the bulkhead and not chop up the door
Hinge the door on the other side
Hola Matt, any chance to re explain the "makeshift" oven?
Gracias
Just curious what do you want the flange a little flexible so it could stick to the door with water pressure kind of like a rubber Seal on Regular door
Fill it with water and test it.
Can't you just also add some kind of build around the rudders that would perhaps not stop, but slow water intrusion if they got hit?
Systems under water arent cheap to replace.
No point in uni in the door curout with the glued in section in the bottom, that hasnt been glassed in!
To the age of 4 or 5??? I got news for you two..."breed shetlands, you get shetlands!" Ha! Unless a recessive gene has runamuck in the pool! DBL ha! Goodonyas! Entertaining as always and technically superior work!

😎💙👍
Put the hinge on the other side, too late
Why have a hinged door? The door could be bigger if it was only latched or clamped on in 4 or 6 positions.
Does anyone manufacture a break-a-way coupling for thru shafts? I rep a company that manufactures break away couplings for hydrants and would be interested in knowing a little more your rudder shafts.
Why didn't you just change the hinge side of the door ???
After all these “fun” (hard work projects) will the splash be anticlimactic?
Dude Dude Dude you only glued that bottom piece in. Why don't you slap a few layers of fiberglass on either side to make sure no torque or and kind of slamming will not just pop that piece out. Especially if there is water intrusion in there. It will not hold for sure. Yeah you put the carbon fiber around the edge to strengthen it.

Yes there are french people watching … voilà
Why was Duracell built with 2 rudders.
My guess would be that two small rudders could create less drag? Just guessing.
When the ship is heeling, the lee-side rudder gets more vertical. So it has more steering ability.👴😉🤷♂
I cut a tiny door, to convince my under 4 year old to go I. And out of. Then he be to big. Wild. And BTW, I cut it wrong.

When you use the epoxy squeegee wrong side up, you have to take the whole boat to Seattle to have it degaussed. Laminator insider tip.😮
Bomar makes them every day....smh
