Hey everyone, as we close in on 20000 subscriptions I am so amazed that there are that many people interested in my project.If you haven't already, please subscribe to get this channel over that incredible milestone.Thanks so much for watching.Rossco
I’ve watched your videos from nearly the beginning and I’m surprised you don’t have way more than 100,000 subscribers by now. I really enjoy your build. An awesome job as always.
About five or ten years from now you’ll be taking orders for your “catamaran” costumers for so many catamarans . Hope that in the future if things start happening a lot more for you I hope you keep the camera on. For me I like that you have a dream. And you’re making it come true. Mostly by yourself too. I really do enjoy watching your videos so keep-em coming.
I watch a couple build channels. You and Mike Patey are my favorites! Both have a ton of GSD going on. I have learned a ton from both. Watching your attention to detail is my favorite even when I think you have lost your mind. Then I see an episode from Sailing Parley.... now we know why you do it the way you do it. Not only will you have a proper vessel but one that will keep you and your family safe for decades to come. Thanks for sharing.. EVEN when it SUCKS. G
Well Ross, gotta tell you what I know about boats you could put on the end of a pin and have room left over. But I do know when I’m seeing some one who is a perfectionist and enjoys what he is doing. I thoroughly enjoy your videos thanks for your hard work
I still think you are the only person that is building a plastic boat from mould to sailing tropical waters. You da Man Ross! I Also think that when your done with the hull and deck and start on the interior and rigging more people will subscribe to your channel.
Been watching you for years now Roscoe and have just finished building my last house for my retirement in queensland and I take my hat off to you for your patience and fortitude, but do you know that our average male life span is now 81yrs old, HaHa.
good gracious the enormity of this project really comes home when you see one person toiling away. I've seen videos of teams doing it and it looks doable. But this. You have my admirations for just taking one bite of the elephant at a time and cracking on. Brilliant example to me and others!
Thanks for watching John, it is a mind game for me buddy, just get in and do a solid day work, and I find the thinking and collating of videos and timelines of the project build etc the hard part. Appreciate your nice comment mate. Ross
I finally figured out why you're making it so strong! You're going to paint it black, mount some guns, and become a pirate! Seriously, i could learn the skills, but i don't have anywhere near your determination. You will have a beautiful boat before you're even done.
Bead and cove the planking works even better to reduce voids but consumes / wastes a bit more foam in the milling process. Vac bag is also preferred for core install esp in complex areas where you cannot weight down sections.
Hi Ross, Have you considered using a different colour for your headliner in the cabin cockpit? Newer boats are using silver and pewter coloured panels on the internal fitouts and this makes it look less industrial boat and more high end. But at no cost really.
Ross I just want to commend you on the Trojan work you're doing here and have been doing. Gruelling, labour intensive, back breaking graft and downright pricks of jobs as you said yourself; as well as consistently putting out some of the most informative and detailed content on TH-cam... hats off mate! Congrats on the 20k Ross, and THANK YOU for what you're doing. - Mark
Ross, your attention to detail is awesome. Why does it need so much crossed strand fiber glass in a window mullion, where I imagine the loads are mainly compressive rather than tensile? Wouldn't a wooden core work in that situation?
Another great video Rossco. You should be closing in on 10 times the number of subscribers! Such a mental challenge to do things the proper way now, versus the extra work that will be required later. Those visible “could have done that better” bits, are what haunt you down the road and forever! 👍👍
I have been following this beautiful project, and in this video 174 you show a lamination worksheet for each area. I found this very interesting, would it be possible to get this entire worksheet, from the hull to the deck? Thank you in advance. Carlos Eduardo
Could you have used the grid score with the scrim then just cut some triangular fillets to fill the void. It would have saved a lot of time than cutting and laying all the strips of foam. Then again you probably used up a lot of off cuts doing it the way you did lol.
G'day sport That's a good solution I can't remember seeing before. Just quickly, what sort of glazing are you intending to use? And commensurate with that, how thick? cheers
Hi Rossco have you watched what happened to Sailing parlay’s Lagoon 450 with cracked bulkheads ? Turn out it’s a big flaw in these boats Now wondering what forces are placed on the hull once the tension goes on the mast and it under a good hard wind 🌬 You just need a colab to increase your subs quickly and a few mentions to draw new viewers
Hey Garry, have been watching the guys toil over the bulkhead and many other issues. Would like a mention from them but these channels tend to be guarded when they reach a certain level and I feel I am being dragged along with all of the interest. After all it really for me is about the build and the TH-cam thing is a nice spinoff for me. Cheers Mate hope you are well in lockdown. Cheers Ross
Ross as a sailor do you think an extremely rigid structure or one with some flexibility built in for an ocean going vessel is preferable to avoid any failure as someone who only uses power boats I’m quite interested in your opinion thanks in advance
They say people have one novel in. them.I reckon you have one catamaran in you. Can you even imagine doing this a second time? I reckon the thought would make you shudder. (And let's not even think about Janet's reaction!)
Hey Brother there is no other man like you😁 I would like to suggest some to you that will work better than those Whit Putty knives , Good for mixing Resins but suck for fillers Glue, mastic. You know those those 3”-4” auto body spreaders . Instead of wiping excess with a rag ,use one Spreader to wipe off excess easily, or you take a pair of scissors or tin snips cut the end to any radius easily, or for tight areas cut them 90% of the blade again 1” - 1 1/2” - 2” . No radius , or your desired radius. You will love them. Allow if you need a firm edge use the other Side . Try one you will never go back . The make all Jobs Super Fast
Hmm.. "Complex Curves" (sounds like the missus). Well now we know why these things cost so much. Also, why can't you cut cuts fairly close so as you bend the foam the cuts close and then turn the foam upside down? Cheers mate 🍻
Hey Jeremey.I didn't add conduit as strucutre was pretty previse acvording to schedule,but I did think of a couple of areas where it could work.There had a section in the saloon roof that will carry conduit for strip lighting and a pellament that will secrete most wiring.otherwise lining will be applied and hide wiring where necessary. Ross.
please forgive my sloppy Did your video mention using that material before: PVC Foam Core fiberglass, plywood fiberglass? Is there PVC FOAM CORE next to the factory wall? Has the use of silica aerosols been considered? It has similar thermal conductivity to polyurethane foam. But silica aerosol is too brittle, but it is really too light. Will silica aerosol be so beneficial for you to travel around the world?
My question would be if you want a smooth finish around what your doing is great but why not also do your fairing in the mold before you extract it.. it seems to me it would not mater but it would be much easier working it that way rather then overhead “ just sayin “
Great question David.Issue is that the deck will be joined to bulkheads partitions etc and would be difficult to ensure smooth transition ovwr tabbling till after these final tabs are made close to competion.Trying yo get close but sadly not close enough.Cheers Ross
I don't know why you want to avoid filling gaps in voids between grid scored joins. The extra weight is negligible, and any resin mixture will be far less compressible than foam Foam it s ONLY "strong" in compression, and any sheer forces that would break filler compound in grooves , will shatter the surrounding foam anyway.
Too bad you don't have the time to make a vid on resins and epoxys, when where and how to use them. Including when, where and hoow to use them together. Lot of strang ideas all over the webby thing
I'm not sure you're actually working hard enough. Maybe you need to buy a bunch of those wrist and ankle weights from the gym, and add a couple of dozen kilograms to your limbs?

@@gordonwd2 thanks Gordon appreciate you watching mate.Cheers Rossco
😎👍🍻🇦🇺
@@gordonwd2 Maybe it's too professional.
For those who are interested, it is as enjoyable as a detective novel.
How did you go about attaching the foam core to the haul
Johnny picking up tips for when he does his catamaran.
He,ll buy one
She's coming along nicely Rosco. No way is that roof going to be like a trampoline.
Never have I been so impressed by someone stripping! More smart work by you sir! Enjoyed it. Onward!

greate work as always Ross
All the best
Roscoe that work is painstakingly detailed but of course absolute necessary, certainly must be testing your patience and your knees.😀👍
For sure Norman.Knees are copping it,my patience,well it it what it is,and I do love a good challenge.Rossco
I still think you are the only person that is building a plastic boat from mould to sailing tropical waters. You da Man Ross!
I Also think that when your done with the hull and deck and start on the interior and rigging more people will subscribe to your channel.
Cheers Scott
perhaps generations of your family will appreciate your craftmanship :)
Another great one big man.
Loving the progress.
Won't be before you are pulling the deck out of the mould 😁😁😁
Can't wait! but have a few things to get in line f=before that happens. Cheers Mate , say safe .
Your videos are like a master class, god forbid I ever have to do anything so complicated. But by following you I might have an idea. :)
Thanks Mike, great to hear you are getting some value form my series. Rossco
Been watching you for years now Roscoe and have just finished building my last house for my retirement in queensland and I take my hat off to you for your patience and fortitude, but do you know that our average male life span is now 81yrs old, HaHa.
So glad you got the heavy work done now. You will be so happy later when you put the clay shell together.

Great progress - starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel !
Can’t wait for the next episode.
Very tedious work Rossco! well done you doing a good job I can see the progress.
Well done Rosco hope you guys are ok .And obliviously the boss is in lockdown in Husky
👍🏼 progress is good. But you can see the hard work to get the rigidity .
Thanks Ash glad the hard work bit is noticeable. I really don't think I have ever worked this hard.Great fun.Ross
@@LifeOnTheHulls we can see the sweet on your head. It's paying off as you are making so much progress week by week. You are a dinamo 👍🏼

as you would see in parley revival, short cuts dont work so if you are going to it , do it right like they have !

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
Hello there! Tanks so much for watching William , I appreciate you taking the time to comment mate. Ross

Are you planning on a dodger of any kind? Hard, soft, none?
G'day sport
That's a good solution I can't remember seeing before.

@@LifeOnTheHulls I am sure the good old kiwi boys wouldn’t mind a sharing some
Did you ever consider using vacuum to hold your complex pieces in place until the seafoam set up?

Why didn’t you use your versaflo shaping the foam? Did it stop working yet?
Hmm.. "Complex Curves" (sounds like the missus). Well now we know why these things cost so much. Also, why can't you cut cuts fairly close so as you bend the foam the cuts close and then turn the foam upside down? Cheers mate 🍻
Ross = NASA space suit safety gear. John = t shirt and thongs. :)
hi there is a lot of work well dun guys
Thanks Greg.
How did you go about attaching the strips of foam core to the hull 5200 ?
Hi Professor Ross, did you add conduit in the structure to allow for wiring for lights etc? You’ve done awesome work!
Hey Jeremey.I didn't add conduit as strucutre was pretty previse acvording to schedule,but I did think of a couple of areas where it could work.There had a section in the saloon roof that will carry conduit for strip lighting and a pellament that will secrete most wiring.otherwise lining will be applied and hide wiring where necessary. Ross.
@@LifeOnTheHulls good stuff Ross, can’t wait to see the flip!
a hydraulic foam slicing wheel would be handy huh?
please forgive my sloppy
Did your video mention using that material before:
PVC Foam Core fiberglass, plywood fiberglass?
Is there PVC FOAM CORE next to the factory wall?
Has the use of silica aerosols been considered? It has similar thermal conductivity to polyurethane foam. But silica aerosol is too brittle, but it is really too light. Will silica aerosol be so beneficial for you to travel around the world?
Where can I find this guitar and harmonica track? I’m definitely digging on it
Tell us did you sand surface before laying that glass , because I see nothing but dirt around area and glass looks like not sanded for a good bond
you must be new here.
Is vacuum bagging not necessary would it be better or just a waste of time ?
In an earlier episode he advised the mold is not set up for it. Plus he is working alone.
Long job Ross,nice to see Johnny put his knowledge in to 😂,you need some kneepads your getting to have problems later in life 👍🇬🇧👍
Very true Chris, use pads where I can mate, I am so looking forward to a new stage in this build where knee work is minimised. Ross
If anyone points out imperfections hand them another beer and fix their focus or just toss them over.
Is that gun you using mixing poly resin for you?
Sprays unsaturated resins,vinylester,polyesters and gel coats.External mix Graco gum gun ,adjustable catalyst up to 4percent at the machine pump.
My question would be if you want a smooth finish around what your doing is great but why not also do your fairing in the mold before you extract it.. it seems to me it would not mater but it would be much easier working it that way rather then overhead “ just sayin “
Great question David.Issue is that the deck will be joined to bulkheads partitions etc and would be difficult to ensure smooth transition ovwr tabbling till after these final tabs are made close to competion.Trying yo get close but sadly not close enough.Cheers Ross
When you go foam one side to the other with foam its gonna take longer than you planned lol.
Uhh, life down under the deck? ( sorry, too tempting 😎)
Just slightly stronger than a lagoon 450 haha!..........
I don't know why you want to avoid filling gaps in voids between grid scored joins. The extra weight is negligible, and any resin mixture will be far less compressible than foam
Foam it s ONLY "strong" in compression, and any sheer forces that would break filler compound in grooves , will shatter the surrounding foam anyway.
:) The French Boat builders said use Ply wood it will bend to Any Shape :) lol What do you call a french Cat ?????????? Firewood :) Stay Safe Bud
Thanks buddy, interesting developments for sure.Ross
Too bad you don't have the time to make a vid on resins and epoxys, when where and how to use them. Including when, where and hoow to use them together. Lot of strang ideas all over the webby thing
A lot of that is covered in his other channel the composite Shop.
I'm not sure you're actually working hard enough. Maybe you need to buy a bunch of those wrist and ankle weights from the gym, and add a couple of dozen kilograms to your limbs?
That is a great idea, I may not be able to move at night if I dug any deeper. Cheers Mate Ross
