Hi guys, thanks for watching... it seems my opinions have raised a few questions, such as.... 1. Why is speed so important for a cruising sailboat? 2. Do you really need a larger cat to go fast? 3. and the ol' "Which is better for bluewater cruising, Cat or Mono?" Would love to hear your opinions!
1) Speed is fun and can provide safety if not overdone. It's so much more fun to sail reasonably fast and throttle back (reef) when the conditions dictate. It's nice to continue sailing in light air rather than be forced to motor. Speed can also help you sail out of harms way if a storm is on it's way. 2). Larger cats contribute to comfort by reducing the (fore/aft) pitching at sea. Above 40' also allows for full standing headroom in saloon without looking top heavy. Additionally, the waterline makes a difference, even on fast cats unless you can get it up on a plane. 3). Cat (or multi) vs Mono still comes down to personal preference. Mono's have the following advantages: A) Cheaper to buy, maintain and berth (store at marina/dock). B) Typically sail upwind better than a cat. C) Mono's are less weight sensitive (You can pile alot of weight on them). In most other categories, Cat's have the advantage: A) Speed when beam reaching or downwind. B) Living space for people, solar panels, water toys and dinghy's. C) Maneuverability/redundancy when motoring. D) Better motion at sea (my preference). E) Shallower draft for anchorages/sand bars. F) Many multi's are unsinkable. The Cat/Multi advantages list continues but those are the major ones I can think of right now. My preference is definitely a Cat/Multi, as long as I afford it.
1. With a fast boat you can try to outrun weather, which is probably safer than to endure it, esp on ocean passages. 3. Rich cruisers tend to buy cats. If I had the money I would buy an alu cat for general cruising and liveaboard. Bigger, more stable, less wet and normally faster, more deck space for solar and greater technical redundancy. But I also want to visit high lats (Alaska and British Columbia) for very long times out, that takes lots of suppliers calling for a higher displacement boat like the Pelagic boats. Me being too short on money, for the same amount of money I would prefer to buy a sturdy alu bluewater monohull of adequate size and better quality equipment than a cat of mediocre quality and rigging.
Sup. 1. Like others have pointed out, speed is crucial for avoiding or escaping dangerous weather, unless your sailboat is durable enough to withstand rough water, which I highly doubt it will, and please don't risked it. 2. Why not? If you can afford a performance model, but please keep in mind that these models are more designed for performance and NOT so much for practicality and comfort. Some sacrifices will varied depending on one's demands out of their sailboat. 3. From my experience. Nothing beats the speed and sailing performance of a monohull and they're great starting sailboats for those with a tight budget. Cats on the hand are awesome for those whom may want a little bit more room and comfort for their sailing adventures. They're also very stable and much more user friendly...well expect for the maintenance.
As to 2) a definite NO . While displacement (non planing) monohulls suffer from max hull speed which is defined by their hull length (longer is faster) , well designed multihulls with narrow hulls (length to beam ratio >= 12) do not have this limit . That is why the Rolex Fastnet was recently won by a 42 ft cat (Marsaudon Composites TS42) in competition with much longer cats . A similar TS42 also won the 2020 ARC rally and set a new record .
They first appear as a couple that I am inclined to dislike. But, I don't. They seem great, with nice attitudes, and I am very interested in their boat and experiences. I am binging on the channel right now. They gained another subscriber.
I heard Plukky of Sailing into freedom talk about a Mumby 48 being the dream boat so I made a search and found your channel!! I am really looking forward to have a bunch of episodes to watch and a new sailing channel I feel I will love to follow.
I think you did a great job... she's beautiful!(both ya girl's are quite Beautiful 👍🌞🙂)..Happy Sailing.. hope you have many adventures and Blessed times on her!👍😎🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Hello there and thank you both for the video. A Mumby no less, a rare bird indeed. I've always been interested in these ally boats but you can't mention them on the forums haha. The haters go bonkers. I look forward to watching all of your videos, many thanks in advance.
Geez Tony thanks for that... It's all do-able. Personally i forgave having a family to pursue my childhood dreams.... but a lot of others do both at the same time. I hate to sound corny... but follow your dreams....they keep you alive.
@@SailingLifeonJupiter "It's all do-able." Dude, you said it; the same applies to kids. I could imagine little ones onboard in a year or so! Consider it.
I love the overall design of the Mumby 48. Aesthetically, from beam on it isn't my favourite, but I can easily get past that when I consider all the benefits it brings. The dagger boards and kick up rudders are genius. Welded-in deck fittings and hatch frames, brilliant. You talk in later videos about welding in aluminum though hulls, another great idea. All together most of these things, in my mind, potentially take out 'some' of the the mundane tasks and expense of GRP boat ownership and really when you get right down to it, make for a much stronger built boat. I was talking to someone about what is better, GRP or aluminum for a boat. What he said has stuck with me- "There is a reason the Coast Guard builds their boats out of aluminum and not GRP." You say you have it 'loaded down' and it still blows around in the lightest of breezes. I think when you are finished with your circumnavigation Mr. Mumby might want to talk to you about a job promoting his product! You might have a second career waiting for you. 😉👍🏾
Hello Jamie and Princess, I really love your home. The architecture of this model of Cat is so cool. I stumbled across your channel last night and are looking forward to viewing your episodes. My wife is Philipina too and I'm Aussie across engineers.🕹🕺🤘
nice cat. I had one of the originals Chameleon built by Tim in Australia before he started in Carmen. I had 1 x toilet shower up! First one like this and a tri colour hull - first again with that colour scheme on a Mumby. Plus made my own stern seal system.
What a breath of fresh air this cat design is so unique i do love the open layout of the interior and for a fast cat looks nice inside and i do appreciate the down galley that still is a part of the common area.. L.A Rob
I just found your channel and will be binge watching to catch up. I lived/worked in the PI for 7 years in the 80's (West coast of Zambales, Luzon) , then returned to USA and built my 31' F-9A trimaran. It was launched it in 1993 and I still have it but I want to cruise on a 42-47' cat now. It's hard to find one that's reasonably priced, performs good and is not an ex-charter beat-up boat. If I were younger, I'd build it myself but at 61, I don't have that energy anymore. I hope some of your episodes cover the building in the PI. I have a lot of questions for you but I'll start with basics: 1) Where in the PI did you build? 2) Where are you based at during the Covid lockdown? (edit - I'm sure this will be answered as I catch up with episodes) 3) Would you have it built in the PI again, if you had to do over again? 4) Were you at the build site for most of the build? Good Luck and Best of Wishes to you guys on your adventure (I will have many more questions)...
Hi Steve. Glad you're watching... Yeah I wished we had started taking videos back when i was in PI... Still my favorite place, and probably where i will end up after the circumnavigation. El Nido perhaps. Sure, bring on the questions... 1. The designer/builder (aussie, Tim Mumby) had a yard set up in the little province town of Carmen, which is 2 hours bus ride north of Cebu city, Cebu. 2. We were stuck in Capetown... Hout Bay to be precise... It really is a beautiful spot there... but a bit scary during the lockdown, because of the very poor locals there, going hungry. 3. The big advantage of PI to build is labour costs are low... ($7-$15 usd per day for a labourer)... but the disadvantages are importing (or smuggling) your gear in... there are high import taxes, so you tend to smuggle as much as possible. 4. No i only visited for a few days most months. Cheers
Heya Loz, thanks for the comment. It is a great life... Maybe we will swing by Brunei in a couple of years time.... As much as id like to catch up with you,... i'd like you to be gooooone!
Just found your vlog. I thought the out takes at the end were hilarious! Looking forward to watching all your other videos! We all need a good laugh! Thanks!
This design makes a lot of sense. Question rather than having two wet toilet areas are there any reasons not to have a dedicated toilet and shower. Privacy two up should not be an issue.
Sure could... Although we all hate the stinky things, I am happy to have 2 toilets... If any guests are aboard we send them to the far one... And at least twice so far, one has become unserviceable...
I like how nicely simple you have made this catarmaran, which obviously has allowed you to purchase a new and decent size Yacht for a significantly lower price no doubt. Nice yacht Jamie. If I had the cash I would buy the same and copy your fit out philosophy. Keep it simple and get sailing sooner in your dream boat..
@@SailingLifeonJupiter My pleasure! If you ever come to Rio de Janeiro (not recomended, too dangerous nowadays) I woul love to pay a visit for a coffee.
This is really nice cat! Very impressive. It's really simple, very efficient, yet it has a elegant layout and design. And I love the galley down, which is not really closed off from the salon. I would love to hear more about the boat: difference between aluminum, performance specs, systems, seeing her perform at sea, etc. Looking forward to more videos. Great job!
Thanks Rabukan... Yep ally cat. There's no official specs around... Specs are so subjective, and really difficult to compare oranges with oranges... You cant fairly compare boats on paper when they are tested with different sea states, winds, loadings, crews etc... And never believe the manufacturers performance specs! From experience these boats go well... Much better than condo cats... Recently I had an unofficial match with an Atlantic 55 and we out performed it... Twice. Another Mumby Sulanga (Cape Town) led the Cape to Rio cruising division for much of the way, until they retired due to not wanting to risk some severe weather. It's a great performance cruiser and a true blue water cat.
Amazing boat with amazing people. Nice combo. I have to convince Analiza how great this all looks so we can follow in your wake. Keep up the great example!
Thanks for the tour, mates. Looks like a good design. Simple and sensible. Feedback: music was a bit annoying, and a lapel microphone would improve the sound a lot. From an environmental perspective metal is vastly kinder to the environment than plastic composites, so it's good to see there are some performance designs in Aluminum.
Looks fantastic Jamie. Thanks for taking the time to do a tour. For future editions I'd like to see how the water machine works, the wine cellar, and the coffee machine. Take care out there.
Thanks James... Water maker coming up... Wine doesn't last long enough to warrant a cellar..(my excuse to keep the boat light)... Coffee is a percolator on the stove..... Do you realize that this is was Simon Pickett's fault! Didn't you come sailing with the Picketts once?
Life on Jupiter I did but remember the big Bronco they had to pull it more than the sailing 🤷🏽♂️. Did some sailing with Roger for a while and learnt a lot of getting every ounce of speed from little wind. Might find a way to get the kids out for a sail one day and see if they take to it - will be an excuse to get out myself.
now i get it why you do have a Philippine flag. Your wife is a filipina and the boat is made in the Philippines. Sweet sailing brother.. btw your boat is great 👍
@@SailingLifeonJupiter Most of the time since 2011. I met Tim and Jess in South Africa when we were both circumnavigating(2008). They invited me to come to Carmen for a visit which I did three years later in 2011.
I've just found your channel and enjoyed the boat tour, but you guys had me cracking up at the end. What a laugh. Well, you've got another subscriber. I'll have to go through and watch all the other videos. Thanks from an Aussie couch sailor!
Thanks for the boat tour...never knew it was a performance catamaran, but what a great sailboat! A kick up rudder...what A great idea! You put a lot of thought in to this boat! -Rebecca on SV Brick House
Yeah, I'm very pleased with the design... It took a lot of searching to find... Obviously the market is dominated with charter boats... So glad I waited for this one.
Wow, I think this maybe my favorite Cat I've seen yet! I absolutely love the design and layout. How heavy is she compared to other similar sized FRP Cats? She is a beauty!!
Thanks for the tour of your special cat... I like it , I do understand that aluminum light weight and keeps the coast down... although can be very labor intensive due to Corrosion , every crack and crevice that you can not see . So for me I will stick with Carbon Fiber . Robert North Star
Yes , I agree that carbon is a bit costly but amazing material . For me I. am looking at the H&H 55 , the polar graphs show amazing speed , I think you could water ski behind the boat ... lol
Great tour and personal touch/thought you've put into Jupiter. Look forward to future vlogs and adventures. 🤣🤭Love the 'B-roll' keep it up, stay safe. 👍
Interesting to see, not sure I’d have the master on the same side as the galley.....!? I’d guessed it was aluminium, but it was nice to have you confirm it. So only 6 permanent berths? There seems to be an excess of fans! 😆 thanks for sharing. 😃🇦🇺
congrats for your incredible and nice boat , you are a lucky men , always sailing in paradises places with your Mganda partner , greetings from Uruguay South America
Very nice Jamie - thanks for the tour, you've incorporated some nice features, it looks great! And you can never have enough tools lol! Like the editing style, a credit to you both - keep up the good work and stay safe!
Hey Bonno, thanks for the comments.. glad you liked the boat tour. This video thing is a lot of work! But suddenly quite a bit of time on ones hands.... Hope you are keeping safe....New one coming shortly.
wow beautiful boat well thought ,perfect layout . I'd like to see her under sail . Just found your channel glad i did now i need to see if you did that water maker video . stay healthy and safe
You haven't said it yet but I've seen a clue...if that's an aluminum boat then you own my favorite boat ever...I'm waiting.... Oh boy, when you were showing the breakaway rudder I could hear it...it is a metal boat! I love your boat! The electrics are a little more difficult to wire, but they're worth it!
Brilliant you two!! Totally enjoyed the tour of Jupiter and your introductions, can't wait to see more. Entertaining and educational. The end had me giggling! Enjoy life on the water and hope to catch you both somewhere in the wonderful world!!
Heya Warren. Yeah finally broke away from the job... although it was only supposed to be for a year initially.... now with covid19 everybody is out of a job! Hope you're enjoying retirement mate.
Thank Ben... Making the best out of not having a job!... well that was intentional, but was planning to go back to work about now.... hah, fat chance... Hope you guys are all doin fine in the capital.
Good video, good boat, design and all… ( bad « music ») but who did the subtitles in English ? I am French, and could spot mistakes by the dozen. The prize goes to the « Queensize fuck » at 10:10 !
I wonder if you can get an electric motor that connects to your shaft prop instead of a diesel engine. That seems like it would be much better than a diesel engine.
Hi Guys love your Cat unreal. I was a alloy boat builder for 30 years, great to see you went to alloy it’s a great. Are they still making the alloy cats as that would suit me perfectly. I am in QLD heaps of reefs & Islands to explore I am 57 so perfect for myself or a Friend to sail. Great thanks for sharing Jupiter 2 Thanks so much
AWESOME introduction of your boat and yourselves! Your extended back story was excellent and really inspiring. Love the aluminum boat, how thick was the Aluminum used? It is very clear you've developed excellent do it yourself skills, so what if you made something to organize the spare lines in the laundry room...something similar to an oversized rack for men's ties, except scaled for all the spare lines? An easier fix could be just installing a heavy duty shower curtain rod to hang them from? Anyway, that's just a couple of quick ideas, you've probably got it handled by now. Cheers!
Hey thanks Leo... The hulls are 4mm...and cheers for trying to clean up my laundry!... But the ropes lying there help keep my washing machine in place in rough seas, as does the spinnaker and storm jib!
In your laundry area is there a reason you have sails and lines stored there? Is there not a enough room in the sail lockers? In most Mumby 48's this is another berth so where do those vessels store this equipment?
I could probably store them in the lazarette... A big fwd locker in between the laundry and the owners cabin... But it's full of dive compressor, tanks and dive gear! I got too much shit on my boat...
just found your site, I love some of those design elements, looks good while and manage to use the KISS principle. I'd love to hear your thoughts on aluminum hull vs everything else. I hope you'll share some cost break down too(I'll have to see if you have other vids as I just noticed this one is 8 months old lol)
Thanks Robert. Yeah, the stiff/strong ally build gives great confidence in bigger seas, or reefs or even lightning storms! There's around 40 of these built so far, either by the designer himself, his brother, or owner/builders... If you're clever enough you can knock one up yourself for about $200k...but I got the designer to make mine and it cost around $300k usd....
Can you go into more detail about your build and its aluminum design? The pros and cons of aluminum vs glass. Your experiences with aluminum .. Many thanks, she looks wonderful...your boat I mean and you guys too :))
Funny you should mention... Ive put together a 30min vid about the building of Jupiter2 and building in Philippines ... Itll be published in a month or so... Stay tuned!

I would love to hear more about the boat: difference between aluminum, performance specs, systems, seeing her perform at sea, etc. Looking forward to more videos. Great job!
Thanks Rabukan... Yep ally cat. There's no official specs around... Specs are so subjective, and really difficult to compare oranges with oranges... You cant fairly compare boats on paper when they are tested with different sea states, winds, loadings, crews etc... And never believe the manufacturers performance specs!
From experience these boats go well... Much better than condo cats... Recently I had an unofficial match with an Atlantic 55 and we out performed it... Twice.
Another Mumby Sulanga (Cape Town) led the Cape to Rio cruising division for much of the way, until they retired due to not wanting to risk some severe weather.
It's a great performance cruiser and a true blue water cat.
Love Jupiter-what a great Cat!!!
Tks Mike
Amazing boat with amazing people. Nice combo. I have to convince Analiza how great this all looks so we can follow in your wake. Keep up the great example!
Thanks Bob.. FYI Princess still gets seasick but luckily not too severe.
Love your peaceful demeanor. Glad to just now find your channel. Red sky at night! Safe passages!
Cheers Thanks Mike
lovely boat ,, aluminium ,,, look forward to see some vid of it at sea .. all best .
Thanks for joining! Keep watching, more coming...😉
Thanks for the tour, mates. Looks like a good design. Simple and sensible. Feedback: music was a bit annoying, and a lapel microphone would improve the sound a lot.
From an environmental perspective metal is vastly kinder to the environment than plastic composites, so it's good to see there are some performance designs in Aluminum.
Thanks for watching
Looks fantastic Jamie. Thanks for taking the time to do a tour. For future editions I'd like to see how the water machine works, the wine cellar, and the coffee machine. Take care out there.
Thanks James... Water maker coming up... Wine doesn't last long enough to warrant a cellar..(my excuse to keep the boat light)... Coffee is a percolator on the stove.....
Do you realize that this is was Simon Pickett's fault! Didn't you come sailing with the Picketts once?
Life on Jupiter I did but remember the big Bronco they had to pull it more than the sailing 🤷🏽♂️. Did some sailing with Roger for a while and learnt a lot of getting every ounce of speed from little wind. Might find a way to get the kids out for a sail one day and see if they take to it - will be an excuse to get out myself.
Hmm, we moored next to Jupiter in Green Island, Antigua Dec 2020. I spent a long time pondering what your boat was and who owned it. Now I know!
Ah cool... Yep, that was us.
All round good stuff.
Tks for that Slick
Eu amei o final do Linkin que os Deuses uni vocês sempre que abençoe e ilumine sempre

@@SailingLifeonJupiter thank you my friends you are wellcome
now i get it why you do have a Philippine flag. Your wife is a filipina and the boat is made in the Philippines. Sweet sailing brother.. btw your boat is great 👍
That's it.. Cheers zero
I remember seeing your boat in Carmen harbor during its final preparations before departing the Philippines. It looked great then and still does.
Ah cool...you live in PI?
@@SailingLifeonJupiter Most of the time since 2011. I met Tim and Jess in South Africa when we were both circumnavigating(2008). They invited me to come to Carmen for a visit which I did three years later in 2011.
You guys are great.
You’re -pretty great for sayin so Fred!
Fantastic Cat, I would love one that is full solar/electric .
There's a couple guys with those exact plans for the Mumby. Will be exciting to see.
Hi Jamie.....Great Video
Cheer Errol
I love your boat 👍
You're welcome aboard anytime!
Great start to the youtube channel, looking forward to seeing your future efforts and adventures.
Thanks so much JT... will keep em coming!
I've just found your channel and enjoyed the boat tour, but you guys had me cracking up at the end. What a laugh. Well, you've got another subscriber. I'll have to go through and watch all the other videos. Thanks from an Aussie couch sailor!
Bewdy Shrek, welcome aboard.
Thanks for the boat tour...never knew it was a performance catamaran, but what a great sailboat! A kick up rudder...what A great idea! You put a lot of thought in to this boat! -Rebecca on SV Brick House
Thank you so much for the lovely comments ☺️
i love your boat, the space, open galley and the lighting is fantastic. but 4 years to build, wow!
Only coz I was slow to pay... He normally finishes in about 20mths.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Evan
W0W!
... In a good way, I hope!
Beautiful Boat 👍
Hey thanks Rasheed
So much thought has gone into your boat's design and layout, very impressive.
Really like the fine hulls and bridge deck clearance.
Yeah, I'm very pleased with the design... It took a lot of searching to find... Obviously the market is dominated with charter boats... So glad I waited for this one.
Awesome Jamie, great lookin’ boat, and tour
Hey Lowy, thanks for that. make sure you subscirbe! More coming...
Wow, I think this maybe my favorite Cat I've seen yet! I absolutely love the design and layout. How heavy is she compared to other similar sized FRP Cats? She is a beauty!!
That's the beauty Stephen... Its way lighter!... 6.5T lightship... 8.5 full. This means performance!
As a comparison a Lagoon 450 is 16T.
Thanks for the tour of your special cat... I like it , I do understand that aluminum light weight and keeps the coast down... although can be very labor intensive due to Corrosion , every crack and crevice that you can not see . So for me I will stick with Carbon Fiber .
Robert
North Star
Wow.. Carbon Fibre! great TR. I'd love a Gunboat made out of that...But i'd need to be reborn as a billionaires son.
Yes , I agree that carbon is a bit costly but amazing material . For me I. am looking at the H&H 55 , the polar graphs show amazing speed , I think you could water ski behind the boat ... lol
Great tour and personal touch/thought you've put into Jupiter. Look forward to future vlogs and adventures. 🤣🤭Love the 'B-roll' keep it up, stay safe. 👍
Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement.... 😉
Interesting to see, not sure I’d have the master on the same side as the galley.....!? I’d guessed it was aluminium, but it was nice to have you confirm it. So only 6 permanent berths? There seems to be an excess of fans! 😆 thanks for sharing. 😃🇦🇺
Jupiter2 has many fans! Yup sleeps 6... but the less pax on board the better. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome spaceship! I love the video, but accidentally clicked "thumbs down" first. 🤣
Glad you liked it!
congrats for your incredible and nice boat , you are a lucky men , always sailing in paradises places with your Mganda partner , greetings from Uruguay South America
Thank you very much!
Very nice Jamie - thanks for the tour, you've incorporated some nice features, it looks great! And you can never have enough tools lol! Like the editing style, a credit to you both - keep up the good work and stay safe!
Hey Bonno, thanks for the comments.. glad you liked the boat tour. This video thing is a lot of work! But suddenly quite a bit of time on ones hands.... Hope you are keeping safe....New one coming shortly.
Very cool. Love the rudder, clever.
Cheers Alex
wow beautiful boat well thought ,perfect layout . I'd like to see her under sail . Just found your channel glad i did now i need to see if you did that water maker video . stay healthy and safe
Hey tks Joseph, cheers
I am so proud of you both❤️🇵🇭you do look good together❤️🇵🇭happy sailing🙏🏻from Nay Jen
Fallen Angel thank you nay jen 😘🙏
You haven't said it yet but I've seen a clue...if that's an aluminum boat then you own my favorite boat ever...I'm waiting....
Oh boy, when you were showing the breakaway rudder I could hear it...it is a metal boat! I love your boat! The electrics are a little more difficult to wire, but they're worth it!
Geez, I thought I said it... But you guessed it... Yeah I love the ally construction... Gives me confidence in big seas and lightening storms.
Nice design.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi guys just found your channel, love the boat going do a binge catchup... cheers from Tassie 🙃🇦🇺
Hey cool... Yeah get into it.
Nice cat, nice to see the thought you have put into the build.
Thanks, Cheers
Brilliant you two!! Totally enjoyed the tour of Jupiter and your introductions, can't wait to see more. Entertaining and educational. The end had me giggling! Enjoy life on the water and hope to catch you both somewhere in the wonderful world!!
Thanks Poo Bear. Glad you like it. More to come! Keep me updated on your new adventure!. Really happy for you.
Life on Jupiter Thanks so much for your well wishes......will absolutely keep you updated!! We will have to bring the little man on board 😉
Great video Jammie and Princess, nice boat too. Now I know why you always had the cat on your mind while building.
Heya Warren. Yeah finally broke away from the job... although it was only supposed to be for a year initially.... now with covid19 everybody is out of a job!
Hope you're enjoying retirement mate.
Just found your channel and are binge watching from the beginning, new subscriber love from sunny Brisbane 💝
Awesome, cheers Brissy girl
Nice one Jamie. Thanks for the tour, looks great mate. I trust life is treating you both well, looks to be. 😉Cheers bro 🍻
Thank Ben... Making the best out of not having a job!... well that was intentional, but was planning to go back to work about now.... hah, fat chance... Hope you guys are all doin fine in the capital.
Good video, good boat, design and all… ( bad « music ») but who did the subtitles in English ? I am French, and could spot mistakes by the dozen. The prize goes to the « Queensize fuck » at 10:10 !
TKS for the feedback Dominique...noted on the music, subtitles on auto by TH-cam...and glad you like the bed!
Good job Jamie and Princess 😘! Take good care and stay safe! 🙏❤️
Jovy bonejones thank you so much bhe 😘
I wonder if you can get an electric motor that connects to your shaft prop instead of a diesel engine. That seems like it would be much better than a diesel engine.
Sure can... But not cheaply available yet.
Hi Guys love your Cat unreal.
I was a alloy boat builder for 30 years, great to see you went to alloy it’s a great.
Are they still making the alloy cats as that would suit me perfectly.
I am in QLD heaps of reefs & Islands to explore I am 57 so perfect for myself or a Friend to sail.
Great thanks for sharing Jupiter 2
Thanks so much
Ahh Barry... I was thinking i might make a vid on the care and feeding of aluminum boats.... would you be available to pick at your brain?
So happy for you ate cess!!!!! Stay Healthy and Happy always!!!!! God Bless and Keep Safe❤️❤️❤️
Zire YJ Salazar thank you bunso 😊
Love the tour nice boat
Thanks Evan.
Great video thanks......!!!
Thank you Alejandro... there's plenty more!
Happy for you cess , enjoy and keepsafe ,,
mama glen Thank you po mama Len...ingat din po palagi and always pray po😘🙏

That's so cool that you made your own water maker. Man, your just like me, a supper cheep ass and I love that!
Zactly... Retail is for suckers! Bit of satisfaction in DIY also.
AWESOME introduction of your boat and yourselves! Your extended back story was excellent and really inspiring. Love the aluminum boat, how thick was the Aluminum used? It is very clear you've developed excellent do it yourself skills, so what if you made something to organize the spare lines in the laundry room...something similar to an oversized rack for men's ties, except scaled for all the spare lines? An easier fix could be just installing a heavy duty shower curtain rod to hang them from? Anyway, that's just a couple of quick ideas, you've probably got it handled by now. Cheers!
Hey thanks Leo... The hulls are 4mm...and cheers for trying to clean up my laundry!... But the ropes lying there help keep my washing machine in place in rough seas, as does the spinnaker and storm jib!
In your laundry area is there a reason you have sails and lines stored there? Is there not a enough room in the sail lockers? In most Mumby 48's this is another berth so where do those vessels store this equipment?
I could probably store them in the lazarette... A big fwd locker in between the laundry and the owners cabin... But it's full of dive compressor, tanks and dive gear! I got too much shit on my boat...
Very nice boat Stay safe.
Thanks Darren... You too... crazy times!
just found your site, I love some of those design elements, looks good while and manage to use the KISS principle. I'd love to hear your thoughts on aluminum hull vs everything else. I hope you'll share some cost break down too(I'll have to see if you have other vids as I just noticed this one is 8 months old lol)
Thanks Robert. Yeah, the stiff/strong ally build gives great confidence in bigger seas, or reefs or even lightning storms! There's around 40 of these built so far, either by the designer himself, his brother, or owner/builders... If you're clever enough you can knock one up yourself for about $200k...but I got the designer to make mine and it cost around $300k usd....
Seems like a great start👍👍
Cheers for that Chad.... welcome aboard!
Can you go into more detail about your build and its aluminum design? The pros and cons of aluminum vs glass. Your experiences with aluminum .. Many thanks, she looks wonderful...your boat I mean and you guys too :))
Funny you should mention... Ive put together a 30min vid about the building of Jupiter2 and building in Philippines ... Itll be published in a month or so... Stay tuned!

Who would think an almost brand new sailboat would need so many tools...we thought only fixing up an old sailboat required so many tools! -Rebecca on SV Brick House
Thanks guys.. Perhaps i'm just a hoarder! But you just never know when you'll need......
hi Patrick ,,, aluminium cat ,, guess even you might be a bit jealous !!
Nice boat. Long way since the cat from Brunei to Singapore! Stay safe.
Haha, yes Yann, just a little step up!
It's really beautiful ❤️
mama glen Thank you mama 😘
