When your installing theses large pieces you can really see how important the massive amount of tabbing in the cubicles will be to ultimately give the boat its strength for the rigging presures and to ride out a storm with out failure . Thats alot of tabbing for rainny day projects lol You guys are awesome.
40 minutes of top tier entertainment! You spoil us! Great progress and amazing boat build channel. I really love the amount of detail you go into in these videos.
@@SailingSVLynx How nice it would be to see you collaborate similar to how SV Seeker did along with his contemporaries like Life On The Hulls, Acorn To Arabella etc etc. To see you collaborate with channels like Arctic Sea Camel, Duracell and Ran Sailing etc etc etc, pick your builders, would be so interesting with the various styles of vessels you are all creating. The one common theme you all have is the people following your individual journey on TH-cam.
@@Finn-McCool We collaborate with Kevin Money in Japan, who is building a Dix 470. You can see his boat on one of the recent O'Kelly's videos. We have also been in contact with MJ Sailing, though just through email.
@@dalgamor Wouldn't it be fun to see another batch of challenge clubs go out to some of the builders that are under way with their project? I think SY Mistress is the only one that still needs to splash from the first set?
Enjoying the ride sadly as I live in France it's a bit far away to come and help but I would if I could. I love your work ethic. Went to La Rochelle today very quiet running up to Christmas in the harbour. But lots of work being done in doors on boats for next year. Anyway can't wait to see next weeks video. Your work is amazing big thumbs up from me.👍
Break me off a piece of that Kit-Cat bro! You can scab on a couple of 2x4 blocks on each side of the bottom plate at the pipe, scab a top plate over them and cut a slot for the pipe to be able to simply slide the frame aft when the time comes. 👍
Excellent work this week. 👍🏻 with regard to the biscuit that you put in to the extension to the window panel, do you just use a fibreglass part of the panel with some core attached bit thinned down by sanding to.the correct width or, if not, what do you insert in the gap you have routed out to give it strength (just core material?)?
instead of weights to hold sheets down to bulkheads yo could mount a block under the panel and clamp it down to the block, if you're concerned about leaving screw holes where you mount the block, you could use an additional clamp to hold block instead of scews
@Capt. Phil Thanks again for all the amazing build videos! I have a question regarding the design of the SV Lynx- The edges of the external top decks (Approximately 12 inches) at the edges of the gunwales are angled at ~45 degrees. I am curious why this seems to be a common design choice in many Cats today. To me, it seems like it would be a significant safety hazard as people walking along the deck could easily slip below the stanchions and railings. Additionally, it takes away from the total deck space and internal volume as a whole. Not to mention the difficulty in bending/warping those panels to complex curves and angles the full distance to the bows for the build process. I can't imagine that having a ~90 degree intersection at the gunwales would be a massive overall weight gain for the hull significantly diminishing overall performance. Could you please share your thoughts on this design aspect & what is the advantage of this feature? Many thanks, Mo-
Actually, I have already decided that if I were to design this boat again I would change the deck and side panels. I probably wouldn't cut them at a sharp 90, I would either round them over about a 6 inch curve or reduce the width of the side panels to 6 inches. This would widen the deck. However, the likely reason Schionning designed them this way was for where the daggerboards exit the side panel. This could be done other ways, but a flat angled panel there made the construction easier.
An awesome boat taking its final shape..it seems to me your build progress has picked up some pace. Are you still on Phase 3 or you moved to Phase 4 now that you started on windows?
Would you be better off using blocks of wood and screws to ensure the panels are fitted rather than weights? Looks like the weights could have a chance of bowing the panel the wrong way which may be permanent once the expoxy dries. Have you completed any destructive tests to see how strong the tabbing is? Also noticed some of the panels look to have a yellow tinge which may be the start of UV damage, this may have been the roof or the gutter system, cant recall. Get some sort of paint on there soon. Not sure how much UV those tarps are now blocking as they look to be ageing quickly.
We do use wood blocks at times. However, no, it isn't bowing the panels, we can see matching line, and the bulkheads beneath stop the panels from going too low. The tarps are doing fine and we're changing them out for new ones, but yes, we need paint as soon as possible.
We don't really need to test the tabbing. This is all by the plans, so 400 Schionning Boats have tested this ahead of us. We're already using epoxy rather than vinyl ester or polyester, which is up to seven times stronger (and more expensive) so we can't change to a stronger bonding agent. And, we sand all surfaces before bonding rather than trust the peel ply surface, so basically, we've done what we can to make the tabs as strong as possible.

Tabbing and tabbing... if seems almost endless, but it does make the boat very strong!

Thank you very much!
Yep! Climbing mountains is a good life skill!
As long as you don't fall. :)
You are really putting in the work. I have watched your channel from building the start.
We do our best! Thanks for watching all these episodes.
One of the best boat built series on TH-cam!
Well, thanks! We appreciate you watching.

Love the longer videos great job
Glad you like them!

Thanks! We can't wait to sail S/V Lynx into La Rochelle! You will have to come down and show us around!
It would be a pleasure.😁
at the end you are trying to trick me! telling me the windows are dryfitted in! actually they seemed glued :P
Would I try to trick you? Never! (Well, rarely).

We could, but just jacking the top up is easier :)
@SailingSVLynx yeah especially since it's a one-time thing.
Still loving the progress!!!
No more "drink" ing... heheheh 😂😂😊
Check your precut window locations to see if they match the port side
The port and starboard windows are not the same by design due to the helm area.
19m23s, I saw that Brian LMAO
Excellent work this week. 👍🏻 with regard to the biscuit that you put in to the extension to the window panel, do you just use a fibreglass part of the panel with some core attached bit thinned down by sanding to.the correct width or, if not, what do you insert in the gap you have routed out to give it strength (just core material?)?
It's a fiberglass coated piece of the foam panels. They come in several thicknesses so we just use a slightly smaller one for the biscuit.
@SailingSVLynx thanks. That's ideal. I didn't realise they came in different widths. The two parts of fibreglass gives it maximum strength 👍🏻
instead of weights to hold sheets down to bulkheads yo could mount a block under the panel and clamp it down to the block, if you're concerned about leaving screw holes where you mount the block, you could use an additional clamp to hold block instead of scews
You're right, and we do that if needed. But, if the weights do it we don't bother with holes.

You can use straps also to keep things down, in addition to weights.
We do that at times, but these deck pieces were difficult to strap.

We're going to do a talk about that in next week's video, so I won't spoil it here :)

Did you ever make Airfix kits as a kid, because this is the same, but huge 👍
No, but if I had, I'd probably be better a this! lol
Brian, LOL.
👍🏻👍🏻👏👏
Thanks!
Do you have to add more layers of glass to the panels you are installing? Does this happen after all the outer skin is on?
For the most part, no. We only need to laminate the center of the cabin top with an extra layer of basalt cloth.
are you also gonna seal up the outer side of the hulls for the rain? or keep that till later to work easier in the hull
We want to keep the hull sides off as long as possible for ventilation and access. We'll just hang tarps down to keep the rain out of there.
Why not paint the inside of the hulls and then put your temporary floor? Then a job done!
Now your going to have to paint your chain lockers through those small hatch openings
It's not a small opening, the hatch is nearly the size of the compartment.
Great vid and you seem to be making great progress. I’m not convinced your bathroom is big enough, looks to be way too small
Yes, the heads are very small. But, I can stand at the sink or sit on the throne, what else do I need to do in there? :)
