Nice interior detail, due to the thin (er) hull thickness design. When passage making offshore for some time, any lack of growth due to the absence of the mushroom head will be noticeable IMHO.
What, if anything, would you have done differently if you had the Trudesign fittings? Assuming you'd use the load bearing collars, and you have access to the mold plugs.
The principle is the same for the Trudesign skin fittings and the bronze ones I modified to be shaped like the trudesin fittings. The method of making the recess as a post build notifications as we did, is different to how you would do it in a new build. In a new build a plant will go in the mould to create the recess and the skin of the boat will just go around it, there will be no need for the extra plate inside as I have done.
I know it sounds a bit gross but a bloke I knew just put his outlet 5cm above the waterline. I copied the idea as we only every empty the holding tank offshore through the fitting when we are speeding along and away from land. I have only 2 skin fittings - toilet inlet and salt water inlet. I can't do this as my cedar core boat has a very thin laminate. (600gm db doubled over on bottom)
🤣 not sure about the outlet another waterline, but if not much used then all good. Yes you can recess in your hull. You can actually recess into any hull material and build method, it just changes how it's done slightly.
Sorry, but completly irelevant and insignificant, not efectiv & noticeble diference on any kind o cruising sailing vessel. 100% waste of time and money. No relevant. It looks good, and makes haull cleaning more easy.
Ah but you see we are next level perfectionists who have spent our professional career working with high performance racing yachts. We do believe that every little improvement does make a difference. Especially under the waterline.
@@youngbarnacles of course that thise modification by fisic's & logic, makes a diference, in direktion of speed improvement. ( les drag ) But NOTHING and absolutely not notiaciable, in any not race s.v. For a cruising sailing boat. A totaly, 100% waste o time and money. Even so insignificant, that non ( AND NEVER) mensurable speed diference on cruising.
@@youngbarnacles I bet any ammount of money, nobody never will be able, to feel any diference, or even at the speed indication, that your solution improves an crusing s.v. speed!
@@Mar-vu9nx Well it would seem the modification of flushing the skin fittings has made quite the measurable speed difference. Particularly in the upper speed range, our ability to sit above 14 knots is now possible. Before this 14 was a once off top speed.
Absolutely inmaculate work - your time working on all those GLY sleds shows on the Catana!
cheers mate

Yes, this detail has proven to be very good for keeping the bottom clean and reduction in drag. The speed difference has been quite noticeable

Thank you
You're welcome
That's funny!

0:53 what kind of sorcery is that ? The end of your finger suddenly goes "under" the lighted area. Edit tricks ?
Any trickery attained was completely by accident. Might just be trying to edit out the waffle 😉
