Ill say it again!!! how the fuck do you have the time to be so accurate and over engineer everything?????? this boat is going to be the strongest and well built boat in the world, you wont be able to sail it, it will need to go into a museum to be looked at in astonishment and awe, extremely talented you are mate , absolutely love your work and cant stop watching
Excellent video. You two are bringing it all together; sorry, your three, we can't forget La Pawz. I wish we you had an Amazon gift wish list so we could drop-ship him some crab meat and cat treats + anything you guys need for Duracell. It brings nothing but pride to tell the wife, "Honey, they are using the glue we donated!!!" Love you all. We are "glued" to each episode.
In the early eighties we were bring the Atlanta Decorative Arts Building out of the ground. The prints called for a door to be built with a height of 6' 4". Anyone with a hard hat and 5' 11" tall or more would hit their helmet. Obviously, it needed to be taller. The walls were 12 inches thick. matted rebar steel to the left and right and above the door frame. I pointed this out to the onsite engineer and liaison with the engineering firm. He said put it in, this was what was drawn on the prints, we did. Two days later seeing him on that ladder holding an 80 lb. pneumatic jack hammer breaking out that concrete so the opening could be raised was a told you so moment. It was August, his clothes were sopping wet head to toe. Just saying you can't always count on the experts. One of the Americas cup boats snapped a mast in recent years. Okay. Food for thought. New plastic twice as strong as steel. Forget the name of it. You could build a knock down mold, make all the sides top bottom say 1.5 inches thick. Pour it in one piece including the guides for the chain. Monel steel bolts or 316 stainless with large thick flat washers. Put it in place, silicone the joint so there is no leakage into the hull, and you would be good to go. It would be a type of cantilevered beam so it may require a deeper inset into the bow to get what is needed, that is where my concern lies. There is safety in many counselors. I wish you well, fair seas. N
I love how you say "and build it to my capability". Matt you are a master craftsman I love watching your thought process working through all the challenging parts and then like tadah work of art. I look forward each week to find out what's next. Cheers.
Love the way you are explaining and building components for Duracell. As boat and sailing fanatic always looking forward to your next video. I have build a powerboat I designed myself and your videos make my fingers itch to do it again. Keep up the great work. I know how rewarding it is to just sit back and look at the amazing work you have accomplished. Best meditation. The process might even be better then sailing her in the end. Lars 🙏👍
Thixo is a wonderful product, use it on my kayaks, but I’m with Janni - I almost feel a need to do grip exercises to keep my hand strength up to dispense it. 😂
Wow that’s some complicated part and build , must have been a load of head scratching to get it where you are now , great episode can’t wait for part 2 , we’ll done you guys
OH, a rare treat after so long... The Boss finally shows her beautiful face!! Love every episode, but I would have watched so much sooner if I knew we were going to get such a treat!!! Awesome work, as always!!!
just watched the bowsprit build. I dig it. just bought two sailboats in Kentucky for my daughter and took them up to Illinois so when I get a floating home up there I can teach her to sail. She may come up with me when I visit my people in in P.A. I really only wanted to say this about the latest video.I DIG IT!
High! Anchors I’m 70 and I have lost 4 anchors to the deep . There was a time when everyone had to have a tv unit in the corner, over the last 20 yrs anchors have changed so much and new variations are replacing older models, you will lose anchors and one day you may find the only place to get a replacement is on second hand market because the new ones don’t fit . The big problem is when conditions change and you have to move to a different spot, having to cut away move and replace the anchor in a Gale is not easy, I’m with the anchor guy KISS , Having to get a 50 kg anchor up through a hole and attached with waves breaking around your ears’ not my eider of a good time. Love the show, you do brilliant work and your mum is amazing ! If you must have the anchor in a slot at least add a open sheave on the side of your sprit cheers
Very cool! I've never heard of that kind of carbon fiber, but it totally makes sense. Huge tensile strength numbers which is what you need. And, yeah, stick with the boat building, it's working well this way.
Another fantastic video Yanni. Your editing and camera skills really tell a story from start to finish without any extra junk in the video. Great music and sound mixing too! Fantastic. Keep up the great work both of you!
Love the look of the bowsprit. Wow, it sure takes a lot of work in the design and construction of the unit. It looks like it will be strong enough to handle the stresses placed on it.
There used to be a Fiberglass boat build in the city next to us. Now I see at least a bit how they built them. This episode is even more interesting Matt but love watching you in all of them, so proud of you!
I have sail a lot. But se this channel and theirs amazing building skills and the transformation of her is truly amazing. And they are amazing to explain how they do things. And see the harmony between them is super, because it’s hard to be a couple and work together so much time, with out a divorce 😮is amazing. The filming and editing skills are also super. I just amazed that they share this with us. So thanks 😊
Wow another master class in pure precision building, absolutely amazing work!! Can't wait to see it on the boat, I'm guessing that's next weeks video;)) Anyhow great episode, thank you so much and sending good energy your way....Neil ☘😊😊
Matt - I must say that instead of "within your limitations", it is more rather "within your available resources". I have yet to see any limitations on your skill set and desire to get it right. Would love to see you and Leo have a discussion about boat building as you both are highly driven to build high quality, but from opposing ends of the materials spectrum. Maybe you can make him a carbon fiber piece for Tally Ho and he can build you a wood piece for Duracell. Keep up the good work and looking forward to completion of this amazing project.
As descendents of Norwegian vikings, which explains this fixation with sailing, I imagine you guys listen to the wonderful miss Aurora Asknes. I say this because one of the fabulous attractions in this channel is the soundtrack. Can't wait for next Wednesday!
I learned about new materials this week. Looks very strong and well done. I appreciate that sometimes you have to give it some time to contemplate the situation so you can understand how best to proceed 👍👍😁
If it was me I would have started from scratch and got the hull to match the cabin and interiors to the purpose whether a mix of cruising and speed or one or the other otherwise it would look out of balance if you get my drift.But you do what you do effortlessly as usual.😊
Another great vid! Not an easy project that bowsprit. I've gotta replace the front hatch on my boat which I'm a bit nervous about owing to a small amount of fiberglassing that will be required and my novice skills, so what you've been doing has given me some ideas and perhaps even a modicum of confidence.
Such high tech tension is keeping me awake at night just feeling the tension and pressures that are going to be imposed on that structure, it might as well be part of the SpaceX Starship! Such belief and confidence you are showing but I am sure also inter-laced with belly cramping tinges of cold sweaty anxiety and light layers of tension impregnated fear while imagining the huge gennaker/spinnaker/mooring chain tensions, weights and cross pulls that the structure is going to be exposed to while racing through and during stormy dark night time seas and moored while the wind power of gales tries to tear your anchor from its deathly nail scraping bites into the sea bed! Will it manage to stay attached to the bow and not be torn apart? SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.
Whoa. I almost went hypoxic reading that as there were 4,976,087,966 words to read without time to take a breath! Phew. To avoid death among the readers please add a few commas and hopefully a few full stops so they have time to breathe. 😊 The emotion was so intense that now I am contemplating the only way to get a final freedom is to get the samurai sword out and commit Seppuku. Ps I think Elon is secretly placing starlink spy satellites over Matt & Yanni’s house to steal ideas on how to build stuff that won’t break.
I FINALLY caught up to the present. It took me all weekend and I have loved every minute of entertainment from your videos. Matt is doing an incredible job. I cannot wait to see the boat finished. I have been watching multiple boat builders over the past few years; from Steve building Arabella, Leo building Tally Ho, to Garret building Redeviva. Now that Garret and Ruth from Salt and Tar, and Steve from Acorn to Arabella are basically done building I went looking for more content and found you guys (along with a great Australian dude @ Building SY Mistress). The quality of the videos is first-rate. You are doing a wonderful job at all parts of this project. Matt, your mom is badass. Although she does give off the vibe of a slightly disapproving English teacher, but that is surely just me :). Also, Inspector Cat is always welcome. Keep up the good work and thank you. Edit: I had one question. When you put on the white primer on the deck, why do you just do the small areas? Wouldn't it be quicker to cover large areas as you work there to save you time later. For instance at the bow you primed several small areas, Could you have just primed the first 12 feet of the deck or so instead?
I wait for new episodes every Wednesday, like I waited for my favorite HBO series, like Mad Men, ten years ago; you guys got me addicted! This bowsprit is looking beautiful, and, as a product designer, it is a joy to see every step so beautifully put together and so well designed. I was wondering if the channel where the anchor rollers go should have a stainless sleeve to protect the composite material from any potential metal scraping from chain or from the anchor.
I should think you guys have enough stainless steel lying around from the old chainplates, and other flotsam back from the day to melt down and make brand new sheets of 3 mm SS! Maybe if you borrow that big tank from the Acorn to Arabella folks, the one used to melt the lead for the keel... you'll need just a tad bit more heat, which maybe a couple of tons of charcoal and industrial blowers may provide : ⁰ ) but seriously, creasing a sheet of 3 mm stainless in two 90⁰ folds and bonding it to the channel will do no harm at all to this project, and it may look good too. Just thought you could sell all that scrap to a yard, and trade for a nice sheet of steel, how'bout that?
I don't know if it's different for fiberglass, but when laying tile the thinset (mortar) is combed with a notched trowel leaving ridges similar to the one in your epoxy. The tile is then set on the thinset slightly offset, then slid into position in order to collapse the ridges, which then provides nearly 100% coverage. Gluing two rigid pieces together might work better using the same method. The vacuum bagging might do the same thing, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
So that looks good. But!? How are you going to stop the Chain from rubbing and Destroying your bow? Just a thought. Ok until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
I want to turn the 'bonus' chainstay into a crane. Make it 6 or 9 feet longer and able to pivot and bango chango, loading kegs of beer into the hold will be much easier.
It’s amazing how your doing all the parts with carbon fibre and fibreglass! It would be interesting to know how much resin from total boats you have used😎
Question: “The Chain Groove in Your Bow Sprit”: Does the width of your chain groove allow for a “hockel” in the anchor chain? To prevent a hockel jam, width of your groove should be: W=(L=P+(GAx1.5)) Marks Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineering-7th Edition. Talk to the engineer you are working with for proper sizing based on your chain selection: Triple BBB or ASTM G40? Most roll bar anchors work better with “Fixed” Kong Non-Swivel connectors versus the swivel type. PD
Very cool Matt. I tried editing my previous comment on chain size. 7/16" is huge and once you leave the USA almost impossible to get and extremely expensive. Zinc is an environmentally hazardous material and you pay a big environmental fee to import it into countries you may be thinking about spending time in. Regalvanizing is an option, maybe, and in the warm acidic tropical water it is inevitable sooner than you might imagine. I think you need to rethink that. 3G is the standard now. BBB is ancient history
It's pretty easy to get chain re-galvanized in many countries. I've done it in Mexico and Australia. It's also a very common industrial process for pipe. Matt is going to use Grade 40/43 which is very common and matches lots of windlass gypsies. .
@@evangatehouse5650 I’d argue about ease of regalvanization in México. There’s only one place that does it right and they are in Mexicali. Getting it there and back is frought with potential problems but it’s easier and less expensive than importing it. Zinc, in México, is an environmentally restricted metal and requires special permits to import it and the permits aren’t cheap.
What's the reason for not vacuum bagging the carbon fiber... Love watching your work- AMAZING! almost makes me wanna build something out of fiberglass....näh.👍🤙
So nice to see everything come together. Just one Question, why are you not using an envelope bag for the vacuuming? I think it would be much easier. Really exited for the next episode.👍
Did you end up using the messed up chain plate in the bow sprit? If not, you guys should strength test it?? Would be cool to see the force that can be applied. I know nothing about boats, and im sure there are more of us here that dont. It's hard to believe that that rated for that much weight. But like i said, i know absolutely nothing. Great videos. I've been watching since just about the beginning. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Great video, can't wait for episode 2. I guess that the upper part of the channel will be cut? Because I don't think that the 100lbs Vulcan's shank will fit in the channel. Or would it??? 🤔🤔🤔

I love TH-cam...I've never even been on a sailboat, but I watch this channel and learn so much.
I have been on lots of sailboats and I have never learned so much so quickly.😊
i have been whit a Norwegian Kapt. for some months, just like this video... i wish i was there again, 61 and learning, yes i do :-)
Agreed, so capitvated by this channel.
Oh I hope you get a chance it’s so peaceful if the wind is lite.. I live about about 2 hrs from them. Port Townsend been there many times
Me too, someday I will sail..
Total Boat are unbelievably lucky to sponsor you. the level of mastery of fibre glass and e-poxy products is unmatched on you tube.
That sprit looks pretty bomb proof.

Zinc, in México, is an environmentally restricted metal and requires special permits to import it and the permits aren’t cheap.
So much effort
6:44 Wow-why do I get the feeling pilots use your boatshed as a navigation aid at night 😁
That’s indestructible, can’t wait to see the what you do to the bow before you attach it!! Hey where’s LaPaz, my favorite inspector?
the inspector will be back.
How is LaPaz going to enjoying sailing? Does she have any experience?
yay
it's late, but it's here!
I bet Janni would do just fine with the boat build. I just would be little worried for the video quality though…. 🤪
Очень интересно, спасибо большое!
I think that ot would be awesome watching you teach Yanni build, while she taught you to film. What you have is great team work either way.
What's the reason for not vacuum bagging the carbon fiber... Love watching your work- AMAZING! almost makes me wanna build something out of fiberglass....näh.👍🤙
I could have in hindsight but weighing the parts down does about the same.
I’ve watched you glue so many materials. How do you know what glue will bond the different materials
So nice to see everything come together.
Just one Question, why are you not using an envelope bag for the vacuuming? I think it would be much easier.
Really exited for the next episode.👍
I'm sure there are electrical glue guns for these joint epoxy glue tubes. No more sore hands and you can glue allllll day long :)
They make cordless grease guns so maybe they do. Not a bad idea if you have carpel tunnel syndrome.
We were just being a little wimpy. It’s not so bad
Did you end up using the messed up chain plate in the bow sprit? If not, you guys should strength test it?? Would be cool to see the force that can be applied. I know nothing about boats, and im sure there are more of us here that dont. It's hard to believe that that rated for that much weight. But like i said, i know absolutely nothing. Great videos. I've been watching since just about the beginning. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Great video, can't wait for episode 2.
I guess that the upper part of the channel will be cut?
Because I don't think that the 100lbs Vulcan's shank will fit in the channel. Or would it??? 🤔🤔🤔
Channel is next week
