Great progress! I hope you can show us your various designs for the rain catchment system before you install it. I personally like the large fiddles around the edges. But, I'd love to see you compare samples.
Well organised project as usual I would suggest getting some metal right angle sections, drill holes through the tabletops where required, and screw the metal as legs from mould intersection corners, all the way to the ground, through the tabletops, . Probably only needed in half a dozen key locations, but as you will be moving around on the tables, the extra stability and anchoring effect could be useful. You badly needed a big shed. Can you get those industrial tents that span huge areas with containers supporting the sides like we can in Australia?
Every Saturday evening here in philippines I keep looking for your video for the week. I'm getting ready to lay the woven roven fiberglass on my hulls. It's so hot now in philippines that I can only do epoxy work after dark. I'm using poly tech clear laminating epoxy resin and it has a fast working time above 28 degrees Celsius. I always look forward to watching your video's every week.
Yeah dry seasons rough there, i have a house there too , But on the positive side when it cools down you have the best labor available for about P500 a day. The amount of labor to build a cat is massive, your in the right place for sure to get it done . By the way you probably already know but amazon delivers there from u s , a guy in iloilo said he even got free shipping with prime, Because its difficult to find quaility parts there like fittings , brass , and quality stainless, etc.
@CJ-ok7rk I'm not hiring any help to build my cat. It is taking me longer to build but I know how it's built. When I do the fiberglassing of the hulls I will have 2 extra people to help with it. My wife will be the epoxy mixer and her cousin will assist me in placing the glass onto the hulls. I bought a 40kg roll of woven roven.
@@PaulWallis-c7y We do a similar thing. Brian and I do the lion's share of the work though we have some volunteers who come a couple days a week to help us. But even then, Brian and I are still involved with every part of the build.
dan lee boatbuilding youtube channel has a perfect way of making things level even if the ground is not level! he made the kit boat temptress. sure it is just a small runabout. but if i where to build thi boat. i would adjust the plans and kits to allow for his way of leveling the strongbacks. you almost got it done his way by having the stilths stand up(sorry english not my first language)
Thanks for the suggestion, but the two sections we had to level on he ground are both about done. The cabin top is on and the bridgedeck is nearly finished. After that, all remaining work will be done in or on the boat.
WOW!! That cabin roof is huge! Maneuvering it onto the bulkheads will be quite a tricky process. Do you know someone in the construction industry that you could borrow scaffolding from? Scaffolding would be ideal as none of the weight of the roof or people helping move it would need to be carried by the hulls while it's being maneuvered. I'm a little concerned about the "Big Bertha" bulkhead not being able to carry the weight of the roof. That bulkhead needs the support of the floor/bridgedeck assembly to ensure it's stability. Any weight on top of this bulkhead will translate to a force pushing the two hulls apart because the bottom of it is open (due to the door cutout). Schionning should have left that bulkhead complete and only cut some of the doorway outline, with several tabs holding everything together, which would get removed once the bridgedeck is fully glued and tabbed to the bulkhead.
It would have been nice if they had left that door to be cut out later, but we solved that issue by bolting two 2x4 pieces of wood through it, sandwiching the foam between them. That means it can't spread at all now. We won't be sliding the cabin top over the tops of the bulkheads, we'll keep it above them the whole way in and then just gently lower it down onto the supports that will hold it about a foot above the bulkheads for a little while while we construct the salon walls and place the beams at the stern of the cockpit that hold the weight. We just want it up there making shade for the hot part of the summer!
Looking good guys! How come you are not doing your progress/hours spent vs. original timeline updates anymore, or are you only doing this once a quarter or something and I missed it?
I Watched all episodes.... And more schionning boat builders. In December im finished as a Composite Operator 2 year Education by Techcollege Aalborg - Denmark. Im Gonna Build an Arrow 1500 would like to build yours but 15,20 meters sets it up for a different boat licens. Maybe boat number 2 in the charter fleet we want to build.
Just finished binging all 85 episodes. Some questions if I may. I've not used West Systems but other resins I have used you overcome the rapid set at temperature by reducing the amount of hardener. Can you not do the same with WS resin? Your Lynx Logo keeps shifting his/her eye patch from left to right. Is this a comment generator? Really enjoying your build. Keep up the good work.
lol, we had some discussions on which way to have the patch (you would think we had better things to do). We finally settled on the left eye. We will check with West Systems about the hardener.
@@SailingSVLynx For right eye see....First 37 episodes thumbnail, Bottom corner of the screen on all episodes, opening of each video with the compass rose. that's what happens when you watch 85 episodes over a week. Talking of comment generation I watch a channel where the guy is driving a digger. Behind him is a fire extinguisher holder minus the extinguisher. The extinguisher is actually down beside the seat where it can be better accessed once you are out of the cab (getting out is more important). He says he gets dozens of comments on every vid.
Only resin you can add less harder in to slow down process is polyester resin or add more hardner to speed it up in cooler weather. Epoxy resin can't be changed for the mixture ratio. If you put less or more hardner it want setup right.

Well.... we already started building it into the roof. We went with a modified version of our inset trough. You'll see that in next week's video.
You guys are doing such a great job. I watch fromOrlando, Fl. Thank you for showing this process.
Our pleasure!
Quite a structure.👍😀⛵️
Yes it was!
Great work love the videos.
Glad you like them!
I was negative last time but I must say that your energy is inspiring :)
We appreciate that!

We put one of those big tunnel tents up... then the city made us take it down the next day at a great loss of time and money :( We'll make due.
@@SailingSVLynx Damn. That is bad luck. I gather suitable lots are hard to come by close to your home.
@dnomyarnostaw - check out Kit E64: A Serious Setback (th-cam.com/video/zGktmIqUQPg/w-d-xo.html) where they go through the whole saga in detail.

Yeah, we're just doing it occasionally.
Do you have regular breaks planned so you don't burn out, or is the weather forecast doing that for you? ;)
The weather gives us unwelcome breaks, rain... and soon, beat.
Lol, I'm planning one right now. Cheers!

What is your maximum length for the lower classification?
Wow, how much will this weigh when finally completed?
Around 500 pounds, but we're doing a little guessing since we added a different rain catchment system than what they call for in the plans.
@@SailingSVLynx ah, so potentially manageable with 8-10 people when you need to put it into position, nice.

@@PaulWallis-c7y That's what we figured, and we only use epoxy on S/V Lynx.
