You are really doing us a favor with your upload schedule at the moment. It was athrill to watch and looks like so much fun. You had me on the edge of my seat when the port side started to fill with water. Great series! I hope you keep us updated on sealing the red float. Other than that I am looking forward to your next adventure!
I’m glad you like the upload schedule, do you mean the time they come out, or the frequency? I don’t think I can quite manage a new video every two days long term 😂 but I can keep making them upload at about 1-3AM our time so that they’re ready to go in the evening for Europeans! This won’t be the end of the series, but it will go on the back burner for a bit whilst I work on the next one
Loving the series! Can't wait for the next episode! I think the upload schedule is working really well! It's so great to see this video and your perspective from Sunday! Thanks Tom! 1:57 in the bottom left!
Thanks Finn, I’m glad you made it into the video, thanks for your help putting it on the trailer! I’m not sure this schedule is sustainable, maybe we’ll go back to one video a week for a bit!
Thanks Chris, a little bit late to the start but at least I didn’t hit the starboard tackers! I’m not quite sure what direction to take the project now, part of me wants to go mental and make it as fast as possible, the other part of me wants to keep it as is since it’s so rare!
1st test sail: sink and get rescued 2nd test sail: immediately enter a race On a scale of easy to moth level, how much skill is needed to keep the wing floats off the water? 11:22 looked pretty quick!
I figured entering a race was the safest option, I couldn’t count on a boatload of friendly teenage fisherman coming past next time I needed rescue! It’s a lot easier to sail than a Moth, since heeling doesn’t really matter. Once you’re moving I’d say it’s easier than a moth to keep level, because your heel window is massive, as opposed to the moth where you need to get it heeled pretty accurately. It’s also way less twitchy!
Built a double Hobie 16 once.Extended the beams to 16’ wide,two complete rigs,mains and jibs.First test sail about 12 knots of wind,going like a dream upwind,leeward hull started going down and SNAP,forward section of hull broke off in front of front pylon 😂😂😂😂 cost us a bit more than $150 ,I can tell you .

That's super cool😎 good to see you back out on the water! Can't wait to see the next project!❤
Thanks Harrison, I might have a day or two off before I start on the next one!
Frank would be proud of what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
I hope Frank would be proud, I’ll keep it up!
Well done. It would warm the cockles of Frank's heart!
Thanks Michael, I couldn’t believe it when I saw a well known yacht designer like you pop up in the comments!
Good result Tom,looks like a fun boat to hoon around in.
Thanks Brett, it is a great boat for hooning around!

@@TomStuchberySailing whatever upload schedule suits you should be your priority! Make time for yourself and family! Keep it up Tom!
Will do, not going to push too hard but not going to stop either!
hell yeah
Exactly my thoughts when I got to sit on the float!
Very cool boat. Well done 👏
Will you keep her and get the set up correct to give the new boats a run for their money?
Almost a perfect start 💪👍

Fair play pal that’s cool as
Thanks!
Bro you do such grate vids keep it up❤❤❤
Thanks, will do!
Very cool! Why not more downhaul? The main looks wrinkly?
That was as hard as I could pull it, I think those are starvation creases because I had the lowers too loose, so too much lower mast bend

That’s epic, I wish there was a video of that!
It goes!!!!!!!!!!!!
It does!!
To fill one of the floats with water to get faster - genius 😉
I was thinking I could use a transfer pump and have permanent water ballast 😂
Wouldn't be a Tom video if there wasn't any swimming ;)
Haha no it wouldn’t be!
That is a total #stuchup
Need to put that on a hoodie!
