Brian, you are an example for ANY man to follow. You're a fearless sailor (not by birth); you're a computer engineer who takes on projects and problems as any engineer does - with discipline, rigor, attention to detail, enterprise and positive energy; you're willing to learn and admit when you don't know; you're humble; you're learning a new language (Swedish); you're adventurous; and, a gentle, attentive father and husband. It is a pleasure watching your life unfold in this way. NEVER a dull day, never a dull episode, never a point at which it feels forced or arrogant. Keep on keepin' on!
Seriously, an exemplary male role model. I will be making any future children watch Brian and his family. No BS macho crap but he’s always quietly fixing things no one else wants to, meeting with customs official no one else wants to talk to, is constantly learning more and always making people around him happy. Would love to have a beer with Brian one day. Seems like a great dude in a sea of trashy TH-camrs. I’m often offended by people showing their children too, and they both somehow handle showing their child with such grace.
24 minute video is just not long enough. Such a fantastic series I am left wishing for more. I know it is a hard process and it is great to watch. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
Feels like TV of old. The wait every week or months till next season. Enjoy what you get. We all agree with you and it could be 2 weeks till the next. If there Out of net for a week I see you in panic. Lol
@@timothywaterworth8649 Due to the fact that many creators I follow are saying they have to make 24 minute videos... I have the impression TH-cam is putting the pressure there -like : Most people having the concentration of a butterfly, make it short so that there will be more views and we make more money 😬
I was introduced to Delos by my old college roommate and best friend of 45 years. Unfortunately, Parkinson’s took him from us before he could see this build. As an engineer, he would have loved this more than anything. I watch every episode now thinking about the discussion we would have. Keep building, and soon, keep sailing. Long live Delos2.0, and rest in peace Rob
Wow so sorry to hear that Kevin, but so happy to hear that you can feel that connection with him through these videos. We will keep 'em coming and spare no details that Rob would surely have loved to geek out on 💕💕💕 Sending lots of love and hugs from us
Shit Kevin I’m sorry. I watched this channel with my mom, the only TH-cam I could ever get her to watch. I begged her to let me pay for a trip to visit me in the Florida keys, just having delos like days on the water. After months of begging and going out to visit her several times she choose to leave us. I feel for you man. Losing such important people sucks.
@svdelos Hey guys, I was just dreaming about a 33m trimaran. Hence, I thought I'd checkout how you guys are going. I've been watching the lands beyond the ice wall. Isaiah 40:22 the circle of the earth. Search Land beyond the icewall maps. 👍
I really don't know how these building episodes could get any more interesting and fascinating. Great stuff. I would think that as a captain, smashing thru the waves with this new aluminum catamaran one would have an innate degree of confidence with the first-hand build knowledge you have been acquiring during this build process. I can't wait to see THOSE episodes! Keep these videos rolling, to me, nothing boring here. Much love from Virginia Beach, VA.TY for the highest quality video.
Gus by far this is the best informative video at least for me that you have produced. Sharing with us your work season thanks to Kip your mentor and coworkers teaching you the correct way to produce a reliable quality product. What a marina if all were like that boating would be so much more enjoyable. They have hired some awesome individuals.😊 We all will be anticipating the hall out and prep of your new yacht for what's to come yay. 😁😎☀️
Every shot that shows these beautiful, perfect welds, amazes me. The computer assisted cutting of the parts is a separate marvel, but the human contribution that unites the pieces and creates the boat is truly amazing. The skill of the welder makes all the difference!
Building this boat really is such a cool intersection of a precise/mechanical aspect, and it's also an art at the same time! It's been such a cool process and we've learned an unbelievable amount...and we're just getting started! Thanks so much for following along on the build with us Jeff, stoked to have ya with us!
I found you guys when covid started, and now I'm watching in pieces. I'm in east Tennessee, and we are flooded. Half the town is gone. We are a tough bunch of people up here in the Appalachian. But once again, you made me and my grands smile. We sure could use Delos right about now, lol. Good luck on Delos 2.0!!
This build has been really fun to watch! Very good editing and story telling once again :) It's also wonderful to see such a passionate builder who clearly loves what he does. I suspect Dan will be flooded with potential future projects after this series is complete☺
So happy you're enjoying the build, and thanks so much for the kind words! No doubt that Dan and the team are making a name for themselves, they are just so dang good at what they do!
I come from a family welding business, my granddad welded a welder onto the side of a Model T Ford in the Depression, and got his start. This is fascinating to me, and you all are so enthusiastic and explanatory! Thank you ❤
You're crushing it, guys, bloody brilliant, keep on after it! Big shout out to the fabrication team at Stradbroke. I doubt there's another outfit on the planet that could keep this pace up under this level of scrutiny...Outstanding..👍👏👏👏🤗🤗
I have watched you repair fiberglass (in the olden days) and Nikki & Jason too. This welding and fabricating and finessing the materials is fascinating. It makes me think of how aircraft carriers or skyscrapers or aircraft is made. Amazing how people can take raw materials and make precise pieces and precisely fit them together. WOW!
I never cease to be impressed with the engineering that went into the boats design. Watching it being built is fantastic. I can see a documentary on building an aluminum Catamaran coming some day.
Been watching Delos for years and years, this is one of my favorite series of the project. Watching Brian turn into a shop-hand welder has been a real treat.
Hi Brian As an Australian I am very pleased to see you building the new Delos in AUS You have found tradesmen that build with their hart and are prepared to put their name on it forever. With you working alongside them you will know every facet and will understand everything about your boat. The Australian Navy does the same thing with their ships and submarines the engineering crew are on site every day of construction. Well done. The finish of the radius’s are excellent. In 2018 I was at the Sydney boat show and got to speak to the amel people and they said that you were going to do just what you are doing. An expedition aluminium cat. Only one thing, isolate the hull from the water even if you use a clear product. Cathodic protection will have to be exact. They use a device in Bering Yachts please explore this Alexei knows his stuff. As it just isn’t your boat but in mariners with free energy being created. This is the only Chanel to make building a boat interesting well done 👍 Regards from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks so much John, and yes we absolutely love knowing that we will know every single inch of this boat inside and out! Glad you're finding the videos interesting it's been a fun challenge for us to try and make the build come to life in this way! Sending lots of love to Tasmania!
@@svdelos A friend if mine has just done the lap of Australia In his 51 foot fishing boat Starting at Southport in southern Tasmania and finishing in Southport Up the eastern seaboard and down the western Australian coast, across the bite to Adelaide then across to the west coast of Tasmania and around the bottom. It took him 5 months absolute trip to a lifetime We will all spend a long time looking at the lid, so now is the time to do it he said 👍 With friends flying in on his way to go fishing and help with the 22000 lt of fuel See you all in the next video So Stay safe
Brian& Kazza, As a builder, and craftsman, i am enjoying this series so much. Delos 2.0 is going to be such an amazing creation. Dan is such a master boiler. YOU GUYS ROCK!❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience building your new boat with us. What a great experience, you are blessed with the opportunity and the ability to help make this beautiful boat possible. Also the boatyard and the people that work there are one of a kind. What an amazing project. Cheers
Capt. Brian, & Kaz. One piece of the puzzle at a time, it’s all coming together, and looking Great, 👍🏼👌🏼, Take care, all the best, and God bless. ✝️🇺🇸🗽🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊⛴️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊⚓️🙋🏻♂️
I've been watching a few aluminum sailing boat builds on TH-cam recently and have to say that your builders are great craftsmen and welders. Plus, they seem like very nice, fun guys to work with.
Brian, I am a welder, fabricator and have built cars, motorcycles and airplanes, nothing this big. I find this series VERY cool. You cannot show too much detail, keep up the good work!!!
Awesome Aussie tradies doing an amazing job. You have made a great decision getting your new home built there. Seriously awesome fabrication skills on display.
Another great video guys. The anticipation for the flip is driving me nuts. Your explanations, and Dan's, of what you're doing are the best. On and on...
Brian and Karin hi from Alberta, Canada. From watching the build of Delos 2.0 and a number of other projects who have also chosen to use Aluminum it is very clear why. The precision of building with it in combination with the right manufacturer make the choice obvious. I can't wait for the lift and flip. Can't get enough of the detail shots and explanations. Thanks for making the subscriber feel like we are somehow part of the build.
Ahoy to you in Alberta! So glad you're enjoying the videos, and yes we are falling more and more in love with Aluminum as we go! Flip is coming very soon, not next episode but the one after, and it's a DOOZIE! Such a crazy experience can't wait to share it with you!
Getting closer to the flip. The build is looking fantastic. And they say us Aussies don't know anything - just goes to show doesn't it. Great work Dan and Team - as well as the Dalos 2.0 team.
Flip is coming up not next week but the week after, can't wait to share that with you it's crazyyyyyy!!! Thanks for following along on the build with us and stoked you're enjoying the vids!
Awww the new intro is amazing - the song is like a soul song, I feel homecoming when I hear this every time! Not even watched the episode yet lol just excitedly commenting 😅
Wow, this is amazing. This is going to be the coolest catamaran. Just knowing that you built the entire boat is incredible. Love watching your videos for years now. Keep up the awesome work, the reward when your finished is going to be so cool.
Thanks so much Travis, we are so looking forward to the first sail! But loving the whole process and learning so much. Glad you're enjoying the videos and thanks for coming along on the journey with us 🥳
Thanks Dave! The back has been feeling pretty good these days! Taking a bit more care and babying it still but haven't been back on couch duty again so definitely worth it!
@@svdelos I am a Computer Tech Writer Professional so I had to sit on the desk and chair for long hours. I had the same problem. How I fixed my back is by implementing the Indian method of using low pillows and hard beds or sleeping on the ground. So thin mattresses on the ground helped me a lot. :) Also, it didn't take much for me to cultivate the habit of sleeping on my back than on a side.
I see you're borrowing an editor from Operation Drenched, good choice! Why didn't you run a tarp from the building to the extension wall to cover the sugar scoops & keep out the rain? You should do a segment on the welders used for the build & how you adjust them for various types of aluminum & or joints. It would also be nice to explain where & how the hull will be moved for fitting out after you finish welding the upper decks.
This is one build that I watch from start to finish ... can't get enough of it. Well done guys and a big applause to Dan and his team. We live on Bribie Island just North of you and have been following you both since you left NZ all those years ago. Keep up your excellent work.
Of all the boatyards in all the world, you end up walking into this one. The one where nothing is too much trouble, where doing it over is OK, where 20 metres of sheet alumin(u)m all comes down to one or two millimetres of fudge factor. And, on the high seas, when Brian sees or hears something at the dead of night in a terrible storm, he will know exactly what that 'something' is because he was part of the team that put that something exactly where it was designed to be put. With love, skill, passion and a millimetric rule!
Totally! They really are the best! And 100 percent agree, that's one of the main reasons we wanted to be a part of the build to know every inch of the boat inside and out and have the highest level pride in ownership. Can't wait to get her out on the water and put her to the test!
Over the last decade I watched SV Seeker build a steel sailboat, Sampson Boat Company rebuild a wooden sailboat, Life on the Hulls build a fibreglass sailboat and now SV Delos build an aluminum sail boat. Love them all.
Haven't seen the SV Seeker but we definitely checked out a bunch of the Sampson Boat Co vids, such a cool project! Glad we can bring a new perspective with the aluminum side!
I'm not sure SV Seeker can legitimately be called a "sailboat." It has sails but can't sail. It has a motor, but the drive train grenades every few hours of runtime. The quality of construction is not anywhere close to the other boats you mentioned. I've never really followed SV Delos before, but I'm going to subscribe now. Very watchable.
Line the inside of the longeron with a piece of UHMW-PE sheet(Tivar), this material has ultra high abrasion resistance, super tough, will deaden the noise of the anchor chain, does not absorb water, and is inert to most chemicals. Tivar scraping blades are used on snowplows so they do not damage driveways, but scrape all the snow down to the pavement, they are highly abrasion resistant.
How do you relieive all the stresses of assembly on the boat? There have been lots of pulls, pushes, and hammers everywhere. I learned a new phrase in this episode, and it's a keeper. 😉
Ahoy Delos Tribe, thanks for tuning in again for part 7 of the build! We just released some sweet new merch: AMAZING bucket hats, super comfy hooded tees, water bottles, and travel mugs! Check 'em out at svdelos.com/hot 🥳
brian was a hydrofoil considered? you say bow weight is critical and the forces in that area are large and you desire to ride waves not knife through them it seems to me that that aa hydrofoil between the hulls would fill those check boxes.
"...nailing these precise alignments..." I learned a great deal while helping my uncle build his house, especially knowing where to start and how every wall had a proper start point from which everything flowed smoothly. Same with floors, ceilings, roofs, plumbing, electrical, water, HVAC, sheetrock, sheathing, shingles, siding, windows, doors, cabinetry, finishing... If one begins where one thinks one should begin, but it's not the best place to begin, the errors are compounding. I know aircraft construction is as much art as it is engineering, and I suspect shipbuilding is the same, hence the term "Master" before most specialties: Master Machinist, Master Welder...
13:34 if those ear plugs are the same that I have, they're the best single use earplugs I could find. Dropping the noise level by up to 38 db is HUGE. I always bring them when traveling - no matter if it's a crying baby on the plane or a noisy neighbor in the hotel, I put them in and have blessed silence. 🙂
It's quite impressive to see over 30,000 views after only 4 hours!!! I hope that TH-cam is contributing a good amount to the kitty for the build! Things are looking good on the build, it's coming together nicely!!
Incredible progress you are making. So .much goes into building a boat. Nice to see those beefy parts becoming part of the build. After all those miles in Delos, what a tremendous change for the Delos team. Space can be a beautiful thing.
Hi guys, wonderful to see Delos 2 point O is coming together so good. Bit of a shame you don’t have a get together with your people that are watching the videos on the GC. I only live in Logan. Be wonderful to catch up with you guys. Anyway keep up the good work , always love videos. Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
Picked up a die grinder today and got my welder out after watching this for a little fab project of my own. Since it was just me I got to pick the eyes out it ;)
It would be interesting to explain the wire welding process and consumables used to fabricate your boat. Appears you are not using shielding gas but inter shield welding consumables. The fabricating crew is amazing. Very skilled individuals.
I look forward to these videos every week! This build has been absolutely fascinating to me. Apologies if I missed this in past videos, but what is the projected dry weight of the final build?
Kazza -- If one listens carefully, it's clear that you're picking up some Oz accents here and there. Good on ya, Mate! But the best thing for this Yank is hearing Dan say "laser level" at 17:29 -- that's poetry!
Kazza, as a french I confirm, longeron is a french word. French architects invented this when the first catamaran appeared in the transatlantic race in seventees eightees

I was introduced to Delos by my old college roommate and best friend of 45 years. Unfortunately, Parkinson’s took him from us before he could see this build. As an engineer, he would have loved this more than anything. I watch every episode now thinking about the discussion we would have. Keep building, and soon, keep sailing. Long live Delos2.0, and rest in peace Rob
Rest in peace to your friend, Parkinson’s is tragic
Wow so sorry to hear that Kevin, but so happy to hear that you can feel that connection with him through these videos. We will keep 'em coming and spare no details that Rob would surely have loved to geek out on 💕💕💕 Sending lots of love and hugs from us
Shit Kevin I’m sorry. I watched this channel with my mom, the only TH-cam I could ever get her to watch. I begged her to let me pay for a trip to visit me in the Florida keys, just having delos like days on the water. After months of begging and going out to visit her several times she choose to leave us. I feel for you man. Losing such important people sucks.

Great episode! Love the technical know how. I am am engineer and loved the attention to detail. Great editing and story telling. 🎉 Good job nerea 😉
I've watched every SV Delos video and can't wait to see the finished product. Hopefully Dan will be a future cruiser on Delos as he deserves it.
One of the best stories on TH-cam.

@@svdelos I am a Computer Tech Writer Professional so I had to sit on the desk and chair for long hours. I had the same problem. How I fixed my back is by implementing the Indian method of using low pillows and hard beds or sleeping on the ground. So thin mattresses on the ground helped me a lot. :) Also, it didn't take much for me to cultivate the habit of sleeping on my back than on a side.
So exciting it's starting to look like a boat!😍
I see you're borrowing an editor from Operation Drenched, good choice! Why didn't you run a tarp from the building to the extension wall to cover the sugar scoops & keep out the rain?
You should do a segment on the welders used for the build & how you adjust them for various types of aluminum & or joints. It would also be nice to explain where & how the hull will be moved for fitting out after you finish welding the upper decks.
Thank you for an amazing video part of your journey!
Incredible build. I'm at a loss for words on how awesome this boat looks!!! I'm sad I gotta wait a week for more!!!
This is one build that I watch from start to finish ... can't get enough of it. Well done guys and a big applause to Dan and his team. We live on Bribie Island just North of you and have been following you both since you left NZ all those years ago. Keep up your excellent work.
That's so awesome! Stoked to have you with us every step of the way and through all the different chapters since the NZ days!
I love it when a plan comes together!
One of the best feelings!
Brilllllliant Delos - thanks for sharing ⛵️ 👍
Absolutely a fabulous episode, team‼️💥💥 Looking forward to the flip. See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨
Of all the boatyards in all the world, you end up walking into this one. The one where nothing is too much trouble, where doing it over is OK, where 20 metres of sheet alumin(u)m all comes down to one or two millimetres of fudge factor. And, on the high seas, when Brian sees or hears something at the dead of night in a terrible storm, he will know exactly what that 'something' is because he was part of the team that put that something exactly where it was designed to be put. With love, skill, passion and a millimetric rule!
Totally! They really are the best! And 100 percent agree, that's one of the main reasons we wanted to be a part of the build to know every inch of the boat inside and out and have the highest level pride in ownership. Can't wait to get her out on the water and put her to the test!
Great production.
Better watch-out sailing in to Freedom are building his. I can't wait for you both to race the boats when finished.
Thanks!
Over the last decade I watched SV Seeker build a steel sailboat, Sampson Boat Company rebuild a wooden sailboat, Life on the Hulls build a fibreglass sailboat and now SV Delos build an aluminum sail boat. Love them all.
Haven't seen the SV Seeker but we definitely checked out a bunch of the Sampson Boat Co vids, such a cool project! Glad we can bring a new perspective with the aluminum side!
I'm not sure SV Seeker can legitimately be called a "sailboat." It has sails but can't sail. It has a motor, but the drive train grenades every few hours of runtime. The quality of construction is not anywhere close to the other boats you mentioned. I've never really followed SV Delos before, but I'm going to subscribe now. Very watchable.
Absolutely loving these build videos!
So great to see you guys! Love from Ontario Canada! ❤
Line the inside of the longeron with a piece of UHMW-PE sheet(Tivar), this material has ultra high abrasion resistance, super tough, will deaden the noise of the anchor chain, does not absorb water, and is inert to most chemicals. Tivar scraping blades are used on snowplows so they do not damage driveways, but scrape all the snow down to the pavement, they are highly abrasion resistant.
Hey Chris, thanks so much for the recommendation will check that out!
Another great video. Happy for you guys. Keep them coming.
Yes, those are some VERY impressive pieces of aluminum.. !
A huge step forward! Great work y’all
How do you relieive all the stresses of assembly on the boat? There have been lots of pulls, pushes, and hammers everywhere. I learned a new phrase in this episode, and it's a keeper.
😉
Ahoy Delos Tribe, thanks for tuning in again for part 7 of the build! We just released some sweet new merch: AMAZING bucket hats, super comfy hooded tees, water bottles, and travel mugs! Check 'em out at svdelos.com/hot 🥳
brian was a hydrofoil considered? you say bow weight is critical and the forces in that area are large and you desire to ride waves not knife through them it seems to me that that aa hydrofoil between the hulls would fill those check boxes.
What a treat, as always! If you`re concerned about typos in the labels and captions, there are some corrections that can be made there.
Incredible stream, thank you
"...nailing these precise alignments..." I learned a great deal while helping my uncle build his house, especially knowing where to start and how every wall had a proper start point from which everything flowed smoothly. Same with floors, ceilings, roofs, plumbing, electrical, water, HVAC, sheetrock, sheathing, shingles, siding, windows, doors, cabinetry, finishing...
If one begins where one thinks one should begin, but it's not the best place to begin, the errors are compounding.
I know aircraft construction is as much art as it is engineering, and I suspect shipbuilding is the same, hence the term "Master" before most specialties: Master Machinist, Master Welder...
13:34 if those ear plugs are the same that I have, they're the best single use earplugs I could find. Dropping the noise level by up to 38 db is HUGE. I always bring them when traveling - no matter if it's a crying baby on the plane or a noisy neighbor in the hotel, I put them in and have blessed silence. 🙂
It's quite impressive to see over 30,000 views after only 4 hours!!! I hope that TH-cam is contributing a good amount to the kitty for the build! Things are looking good on the build, it's coming together nicely!!
Incredible progress you are making. So .much goes into building a boat. Nice to see those beefy parts becoming part of the build. After all those miles in Delos, what a tremendous change for the Delos team. Space can be a beautiful thing.
Thanks for explaining those parts.
Hi guys, wonderful to see Delos 2 point O is coming together so good. Bit of a shame you don’t have a get together with your people that are watching the videos on the GC. I only live in Logan. Be wonderful to catch up with you guys. Anyway keep up the good work , always love videos. Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
Picked up a die grinder today and got my welder out after watching this for a little fab project of my own. Since it was just me I got to pick the eyes out it ;)
It would be interesting to explain the wire welding process and consumables used to fabricate your boat. Appears you are not using shielding gas but inter shield welding consumables. The fabricating crew is amazing. Very skilled individuals.
Enjoyed your thoughts and reactions to the things in the environment around you.😀
OMG didn’t know Nerea was editing in Delos!! Great job girl, I watched it straight till the end
I look forward to these videos every week! This build has been absolutely fascinating to me.
Apologies if I missed this in past videos, but what is the projected dry weight of the final build?
I love this build series. Cannot wait to see how it turns out along with the places you feel comfortable going being it’s aluminum.
Kazza -- If one listens carefully, it's clear that you're picking up some Oz accents here and there. Good on ya, Mate! But the best thing for this Yank is hearing Dan say "laser level" at 17:29 -- that's poetry!
I just heard an Aussie twang in your piece to camera when you said “so” Karin. So good!
I am impressed by your work beyond measure.
Kazza, as a french I confirm, longeron is a french word. French architects invented this when the first catamaran appeared in the transatlantic race in seventees eightees
Oh cool! Thanks for the little history lesson on that, super interesting!
Yay Finally. That was a long two weeks waiting for this episode but totally worth it.
Welder in hand, couple odd posts and welds and cut that building beam out of the way. I can see that easy fix as a no brainer.
Beautiful technical video. Well done to all in the making of it.....
Nice to see you using the swedish speedglas helmet with the super nice ventilator.
Love your canal! Keep up the good work.
great episode
This boat will be a beast!
Like _Elcie_ and all the others!
Love this boat build! Been a great ride so far watching the new home come together.
super cool process
