It's quite amazing to read all the great suggestions and comments flowing in from people that have experience at sea, from former submariners to North Sea fishermen. There are a lot of people around the world captivated by this build. I cannot believe the energy that Damien has, he's a machine.
So true! The experience of others is something that really enhances the build. we gain from the knowledge thats taken decades of experience to gain and not something we would have known about had the project not been shared.
One problem I see with the placement of the freezer is that you are putting a heat source in with your food storage in a small space. Your canned goods and such will be unaffected but it may shorten the lifespan of fresh food. Good idea to reinforce the lifting point of the man lift. I don't worry that it might fail now, your welds are good, but that it might fatigue and crack years from now. As a boater, please store all spare fluids like motor oil inside a catch tub so that if one leaks or splits open the fluid is contained. You don't want to be scrubbing 5 gallons of oil out of the bilge like I had to. This applies to things like cooking oil or soda bottles as well.
With all that 'concealed' storage, it would be a good idea to mount an erasable 'White Board' on the wall opposite the crates with row and crate numbers along one edge and the contents of each crate listed on the right. When something is removed or added, the amount should be adjusted on the board. It would save searching through all the crates for one can of baked beans and make writing up a resupply list much easier.
Using the milk crates is a great idea! Might I suggest that you number the crates to keep a running tally of the contents of each one so you can have an accurate inventory and also to be able to rotate the stores properly.
I was in the submarine service and worked at the build yard for submarines for 15 yrs....the inside of submarines are insulated down to the bilge (6” above the lowest part of bilge) with an insulation called “INSULITE”. It was approx 1/2” to 1” thick and had a high “R” value...I think it was about R-30 or more. Recommend you use it. Use contact cement to glue to inside of boat.
Yeah my plan was to use the original freezer room design which allowed for the condensation and drained it off to a stainless sump that’s built into the bilge. I’m curious about this insulation you mention. R value sounds magic. I googled it but couldn’t find anything on it
A brilliant project you guys, I stumbled across you a couple of weeks ago and watched every video over the following week, there are some good things that come out of this Covid lockdown here in the UK. Look forward to every new episode. Keep up the good work and do it at the rate that suits you and the project. To do all this with an illness and hold down a 40 hour a weeek job is incredible.
Ironically I (Damien) have Chronic Fatigue, I just drive myself and Jess keeps me going. We do take frequent days off these days but they never make it to camera
@@ProjectBrupeg keep some private time away from the camera for your own sanity . It can become very overpowering having a public viewing into your personal life. Especially as you are such a great couple with a fantastic project people can be quite intrusive without really meaning to. Keep up this great project and all your dreams will come true. And maybe one day even Trev's jokes might get better.lol
@@ProjectBrupeg still got a couple of them but not riding very often anymore - I have a couple ideas for you anchor chain protector if U havnt got it sorted already
Have you considered putting a small hatch in the larger hatch so when you are provisioning you can just pass food or crates down. Just thinking it would save trips up and down the ladder.
We pondered this and we actually thought with 30odd crates to load up we would most likely lift the main hatch and pass them directly to the row and slide them in. If that proves too annoying we will just human chain them from saloon to stair bottom to racks
Hey guys. I never miss any of your videos. Thank you so much for all of your hard work to make them. I need to make a comment about the chair lift. I know the weld at the top is capable of lifting thousands of pounds. That being said, there is always a possibility of a crack developing without anyone noticing until it is too late. I loose sleep at night knowing about such things. Stainless steel is most unforgiving in this regard. If you add a ring at the top joint and tie it into (weld) the diagonals with a separate strap you wont have a single point failure mode. The other joints are not likely to fail at the same time as they are under different stresses. For 20 minutes work we will all rest easy without visions of splatt Jess interfering with our pleasant dreams of watching you blasting through rough seas with your magic wings calming life aboard Brupeg!
Hey, Just an idea, instead of doing 2 deep milk crates, you do 1row on each wall(or a u shape), you will end up with the same storage capacity but without having to move crates to get to the ones behind. And the space will be the same but in the middle.
I worked as a messman aboard an oil tanker early in my maritime career. Your frozen storage seems small to me. What capacity refrigerated storage will you have? Food is such an important part of life aboard ship. I know moral drops dramatically upon running out of fresh stores and moving to canned food. We had at least two meal choices for every meal, with a four week revolving menu. I would suggest you write a revolving menu which you're crew can have input on before finalization.This will allow you to plan exactly what you need in storage before disembarking. You'll also need extra stores, as problems getting to a port for resupply can frequently happen. Also, snacks (cookies, baked goods) and sandwiches were available all day, and we went through a lot of ice cream. Have you given thought to garbage storage? Much can be cast over board if prepared beforehand, but all plastics must be kept aboard. Here is a summary of regulations concerning dumping/pollution control at sea (MARPOL) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARPOL_73/78 Sorry for the rant, just recalling old memories....Keep up the good work, if I were a younger man I'd be looking for a crew position myself!!
ukulelefatman That's is a great point ,when looking at the freezer I thought it was a joke (no disrespect) because unless their all vegans ,that would only be adequate for maybe two weeks ,the catering for food is as important as fuel ,and the garbage is something that never crossed my mind ,but equally important.Theres so much knowledge ,from a lot of smart people like you that has made TH-cam community comments so valuable. Thanks
We have lots of plans and ideas around this but we have to get in the water first, so it’s not a priority for a little while. We will be following NZ rules for Antartica re. rubbish etc. It’s nice to hear of your experience. It’s going to be interesting when we are at that stage to hear from everyone what has worked for them and what hasn’t. Jess
Hi Rae, this is our current freezer and is awesome. Looks small but is a good size. Currently without vacuum packing we have around 2 months worth of meat and goodies in there. When we’re closer to travelling we will figure out what we need for how many people are on board. Jess
This job is for during the week after my 40 hr a week job, but the weekend is where I get serious... I am exhausted just thinking about that. I think I'll put in for some vacation, in your honor.
when you showed the rear end of the spoiler doublets I was surprised there was not a lot off meat around the hull sides , going forwards there will a bit of stress on the rear of the doublets trying to push the skin inwards should the hull sides be reinforced internally a bit . I assume working on the accommodation rooms will be quite rewarding get the storage sorted and looking ship shape good work love the show keep it up fellow kiwi from the waikato
Hi all. The doublers crossing over the bulkhead and one run either side is all the commercial boats here do and there is hundreds of sea years combined on that system. If the design was going to fail it would have by now. That said we plan to measure hull deflection at sea and if we are not happy with it we can also add more steel later. The area is a piece of cake to access
Dame, if you turn the freezer 90° anti clockwise, you won't need to build that section of wall and you could access the freezer without going into the store room. It will be at the bottom of your ladder.
If you're boxing in the freezer, remamber to allow an airflow at the back, even going as far as a vent at the top going into the storage area, or through the hatch with a vent plate.
Dame, instead of having the storage access on the left, why not make it in the centre, so you can access all 28 crates without having to shuffle crates to access the rear ones? I know it means double the shelf framing, but might benefit in the future... See SV Seeker re the insulation below the waterline too!
Yeah we first off thought of doing that but because of the freezer it meant you couldn’t get in the room. Hence moving them to a double row on one side solve that.
You are fantastics! My wife and I are in a similar medical situation .... But I am the sick one. And we like to see you how fight for your dream. I wish you a lot of strength to continue with It! I'm sorry for my English! Good luck guys!
Talking about your lift chair. It scared me to see you not having having some type of lock to hold it in place when you get up or sit down. sorry it's the EMT in me worried about you safety. Great ideal to use the crates. Keep up with the great content you are putting out there for us to enjoy.
Exciting times ahead guys..Some lucky person is about to embark on a lifetime changing adventure and we cant wait to share it with you all..Hoping you found my email last week? Go Team.
Hi Wayne. Yeah email received, I’ve been meaning to reply and just got flat out again. Just driven a 15hr day down to Brisbane and back for a parts run so still haven’t got back to you. Would love to take you up on the electrics for the chair but will respond to the email soon (ish) and answer you properly. Dame
@@ProjectBrupeg not a drama mate..i seem to have trouble with emails going into the junk box lately so thought id check. Funny how things work mate, last week we drove down and back to the goldy to pick up a vehicle and now here you are doing a repeat run..shame we cant have an app to share such things and save ourselves heaps of miles travelled hey.. Ill get my butt in gear and send you some pics as promised mate
Why not place the three shelves the other way IE along the line of the hull, that way the top shelf would be recessed back the middle a little closer and the third closer still and that way you would have more room to take out the crates
Room to take them out wasn’t our main concern. We wanted to minimise stacking them in front of each other. Originally we thought of a single row on either side but because of the freezer it meant you couldn’t get in the room. Hence moving them to a double row on one side solve that. And it meant all crates were still pretty easy to access all of the time
I thought I'd posted this on Monday but I can't find it 🙁 Just further proof of Project Brupeg's reach - in my local Co-op supermarket I came across Bundaberg ginger beer! Nice it is too
Any plans for insulation in those hull walls. I realize that the steel hull will sweat and you will need a vapor barrier. But in artic waters those rooms will be like ice boxes. Just sayin! And keep up the good work. Scott
Yeah we will be copying the original freezer room build which held the insulation off the steel by an inch and allowed any condensation to run straight to the bilge and be pumped out. It worked well in brupeg for forty years so no need to reinvent anything there.
Having never spent time in a confined space on a boat, I’m sorry if my suggestion is blatantly obvious or really dumb but I would make sure to have crew room walls well sound insulated, with sound proof foam or fibre batting in the walls. My sanity would slip even further without a private, quiet place to hide once in awhile....or maybe crewed boat life isn’t for me...
Hi, Joe! I'm with you, buddy (albeit far-removed and fully isolated and insulated in a cocoon of total silence and absolute solitude). I'm not a team player. These days that's like saying you're a serial killer, but that's the way things are. I like my own company. Well, there's just me and some guy called Dr Asperger. ;-) My idea of hell is being cooped up with... gasp... PEOPLE, with no way to escape the snorts and sniffs and grunts and snores and mumbles and gulps and thumps and shouts and smells and yawns and sneezes and arguments and laughter and (probably worst of all) the intrusive 'background music' of people who can't bear to be left alone with their own thoughts. Solitary confinement is a GOOD thing, not a punishment. I know this makes me a sick weirdo and a terrible, dreadful, awful, antisocial person (borderline sociopath), but all I want is a bit of peace and quiet on demand [sic]. Oh, I can be nice and sweet and industrious and helpful when required, and I wish naturally gregarious peeps nothing but joy and happiness, just... leave me out of it, please. I'm not simply anti-noise - I'm a musician of sorts and have played the drums and many other instruments since I was a kid. Ear-splitting noise is fine, but it has to be in an appropriate environment and controllably optional. I fully acknowledge that I'm odd. I don't care. I hate (literally) the modern 'fascist' mentality that 'team' is everything. American and Japanese people are fixated on being part of a team. "There's no 'I' in team," is a particularly inane aphorism. Wilful independence appalls, disgusts and terrifies them, but to me unwanted company is anathema. Cheerleaders... Team spirit... Compulsory participation... A shared experience... Yuk. No, thanks. I'm a grumpy Brit (English), and I refuse to conform or compromise; I know I'm not a people-person and I don't mind saying so. I'd be a lousy shipmate on Brupeg because I'd be tempted to mutiny, cast everyone adrift in a well-equipped and heavily-provisioned longboat, and sail on round the world solo. I'd keep the cat, though. I like a feline's nocturnal and independent nature; we could exchange a nod and a glance at mealtimes and mind our own business for the rest of the voyage. Bliss!
That freezer is going to generate quite a bit of heat in a small room, might be a good idea to not store any perishables down there. With Jess's new chair, I would prefer to see a horizontal bar welded about 75mm down from the top, An inch of weld might be able to hold a Ton....but that weld does not look that good to me, poorly fused and with lots of potential for cracking....maybe even one already at 14:35 just above the central (black) cavity, running to the apex.
I'm curious why you think a bar rather than a gusset? Stress concentrations? Or perhaps both? Part of my thinking with the 'hole' was that the rope should remain holding even in the event of a failure of one part.
Cat one freaks out when I drop a spoon and runs away for ten days. Cat one is going to shit herself the first time she feels/hears the main start up under her feet one day soon
Hi Crew, great show great progress. I have a question....... Are you going to fill the voids in the walls with Fire Retardent Wool insulation. Pete. Perth Aus. Fair winds and calm seas.🌊⛴
Is there another means of escape from the crews quarters? In case of fire or other event you don't want your crew members trapped like what happened on the dive boat in California.
Hi Shane, yeah water aye. Ply can be sealed up and it’s pretty tough. Someone WILL get chucked out of a bunch in these rooms at some point and land on the wall, I’m not sure plasterboard would last that
thanks again enjoyed it looks like things are moving along nicely the tunes were great as usual what are you nameing the cat ? and i believe full tummy might be correct assessment but cats do what they do just to please themselves not us lol as the one im caring for currently is headbutting my back wanting his belly rubbed until the claws tell me enough but thats cats for you
@@ProjectBrupeg that naming convention is in use info tech and networking standard for cables currently cat 6 for 1000 mb/s lol navel cat names only catamaran springs to mind although peggers would work ;] have a great one try "slow blinking" at cat 1 its a sign of trust and contentment funny to have learnt "meows" arent for talking to other cats its for getting humans attention they communicate mostly through body language and smell
in case you did not notice, that "Royal" kitty just said that he loves you...! Now you have the responsability to openly adopt him. He is beautiful and you both realy need another pet to tender and love. It's just my guess
We feed her up and cuddle he whenever we want (honestly she could take it or leave cuddles) but she is WAY to independent to stay with any one bunch of people. She has 4-5 homes she swaps around at will
The only reason I bring it up is I know somebody that got in a twist with those milk crates,Be sure you'r law's don't say those belong to the dairy... Buy them from the dairy and have a receipt. Aussie law's may be different but thought I would speak up?
For some reason here in the U.S. there was a run on TP. We were not ready and were left high and not dry. My wife being a quick thinker bought bidet attachment for our toilets. She and the kids loved them, which left what was left of the TP for me. It has been very cost affective. Win win!!!
Why, in another episode, of course! :-) The Brupeg project moves along in a sort of organic way - some bits are slow, some bits are intense, but overall it keeps moving ahead, and the videos reflect this. I think many viewers like the unscripted, slightly 'loose' way the episodes happen. It makes it more participatory, whereas if each video was produced to a slick, rigid formula it would lose a lot of its charm and realism. What I love about TH-cam is that the creators are their own producers and directors. There are no TV executives waving clipboards and ranting about 'content density' and ratings; there are no bored focus-groups making stupid demands and suggestions. We just get to accompany some very nice people on their journey. I rather like the informal approach; 14 minutes of chat is fine by me. Relax. Have a cup of tea. There'll be another video out soon. We'll get there in the end.
It's quite amazing to read all the great suggestions and comments flowing in from people that have experience at sea, from former submariners to North Sea fishermen. There are a lot of people around the world captivated by this build. I cannot believe the energy that Damien has, he's a machine.
So true! The experience of others is something that really enhances the build. we gain from the knowledge thats taken decades of experience to gain and not something we would have known about had the project not been shared.
One problem I see with the placement of the freezer is that you are putting a heat source in with your food storage in a small space. Your canned goods and such will be unaffected but it may shorten the lifespan of fresh food. Good idea to reinforce the lifting point of the man lift. I don't worry that it might fail now, your welds are good, but that it might fatigue and crack years from now. As a boater, please store all spare fluids like motor oil inside a catch tub so that if one leaks or splits open the fluid is contained. You don't want to be scrubbing 5 gallons of oil out of the bilge like I had to. This applies to things like cooking oil or soda bottles as well.
Thanks I really like the idea of a catch run for the fluids.
With all that 'concealed' storage, it would be a good idea to mount an erasable 'White Board' on the wall opposite the crates with row and crate numbers along one edge and the contents of each crate listed on the right. When something is removed or added, the amount should be adjusted on the board. It would save searching through all the crates for one can of baked beans and make writing up a resupply list much easier.
Hi Mike. Great idea. We could easy make the wall in front of the crates a full size white board
Using the milk crates is a great idea!
Might I suggest that you number the crates to keep a running tally of the contents of each one so you can have an accurate inventory and also to be able to rotate the stores properly.
Hi Gregory. Another great idea. Thanks for this

I know this makes me a sick weirdo and a terrible, dreadful, awful, antisocial person (borderline sociopath), but all I want is a bit of peace and quiet on demand [sic]. Oh, I can be nice and sweet and industrious and helpful when required, and I wish naturally gregarious peeps nothing but joy and happiness, just... leave me out of it, please.
I'm not simply anti-noise - I'm a musician of sorts and have played the drums and many other instruments since I was a kid. Ear-splitting noise is fine, but it has to be in an appropriate environment and controllably optional.
I fully acknowledge that I'm odd. I don't care. I hate (literally) the modern 'fascist' mentality that 'team' is everything.
American and Japanese people are fixated on being part of a team. "There's no 'I' in team," is a particularly inane aphorism. Wilful independence appalls, disgusts and terrifies them, but to me unwanted company is anathema. Cheerleaders... Team spirit... Compulsory participation... A shared experience... Yuk. No, thanks.
I'm a grumpy Brit (English), and I refuse to conform or compromise; I know I'm not a people-person and I don't mind saying so.
I'd be a lousy shipmate on Brupeg because I'd be tempted to mutiny, cast everyone adrift in a well-equipped and heavily-provisioned longboat, and sail on round the world solo. I'd keep the cat, though. I like a feline's nocturnal and independent nature; we could exchange a nod and a glance at mealtimes and mind our own business for the rest of the voyage.
Bliss!
That freezer is going to generate quite a bit of heat in a small room, might be a good idea to not store any perishables down there.
With Jess's new chair, I would prefer to see a horizontal bar welded about 75mm down from the top, An inch of weld might be able to hold a Ton....but that weld does not look that good to me, poorly fused and with lots of potential for cracking....maybe even one already at 14:35 just above the central (black) cavity, running to the apex.
I'm curious why you think a bar rather than a gusset? Stress concentrations? Or perhaps both? Part of my thinking with the 'hole' was that the rope should remain holding even in the event of a failure of one part.
Gusset
Cat-One says she wants to be permanent crew and go on all your adventures.
Cat-One may find that a boat is a very different home when it is floating - but I do hope that it stays signed on, of course!
Cat one freaks out when I drop a spoon and runs away for ten days. Cat one is going to shit herself the first time she feels/hears the main start up under her feet one day soon
I would have installed a demand water heater on the wall and ditch that old school cylinder.
That cylinder is bloody awesome. Turn it on for 1.5hrs and it stays hot for 24!
Might have been a while since you’ve heard this but - I just love your theme song! Makes me wanna shout! Waah haa ha ho.
Its pretty darn cool aye. We love it still and we hear it dozens of times a week.
What about insulation on the floors between the ribs,to help make things warmer,to a point?.
The insulation for that room will come later but we will be copying the design used when is was a commercial freezer room
You guys rock
Thanks very much
Hi Crew, great show great progress. I have a question....... Are you going to fill the voids in the walls with Fire Retardent Wool insulation.
Pete. Perth Aus. Fair winds and calm seas.🌊⛴
Fire retardant insulation yes. Wool, no. I’m allergic to it and wouldn’t be able to use to room if I stuck that in. Dame
Is there another means of escape from the crews quarters? In case of fire or other event you don't want your crew members trapped like what happened on the dive boat in California.
Yes. If they can’t go into the saloon area they can go into the engine room and escape out into the rear deck (still to build the flush deck hatch)
How long before you guys put to sea
Hi Winston, hoping to be this year sometime
Get a log burner onboard and a brewery an cinema, grow room , lobster tank maybe have a few jet engines see if she flys
Just watched your anchor build, the point of your anchor should be inverted as yours will act like a ski instead of a plough!
Have a look at a rocna. Arguably one of the most trusted and effective anchors for high latitudes
@@ProjectBrupeg Roger that, Best wishes.
How come you didn't just use plasterboard for the wall instead of plywood ?
Moisture in ocean air will cause it to fail.
Hi Shane, yeah water aye. Ply can be sealed up and it’s pretty tough. Someone WILL get chucked out of a bunch in these rooms at some point and land on the wall, I’m not sure plasterboard would last that
@@ProjectBrupeg there is waterproof plasterboard for wet areas like bathrooms
So, Trevor and the Cat are the permanent Crew? :)
Yes. Until both decide they are not at some point
thanks again enjoyed it looks like things are moving along nicely the tunes were great as usual what are you nameing the cat ? and i believe full tummy might be correct assessment but cats do what they do just to please themselves not us lol as the one im caring for currently is headbutting my back wanting his belly rubbed until the claws tell me enough but thats cats for you
Hi Mike. So far she is referee to as Cat 1 but we are not looking to increase this naming convention beyond 1
@@ProjectBrupeg that naming convention is in use info tech and networking standard for cables currently cat 6 for 1000 mb/s lol navel cat names only catamaran springs to mind although peggers would work ;] have a great one try "slow blinking" at cat 1 its a sign of trust and contentment funny to have learnt "meows" arent for talking to other cats its for getting humans attention they communicate mostly through body language and smell
,,what, no pool table.?...lol..lookin' good,,the end is in sight...keep safe...
Pooltable, kinda like tits on a log. Excuse me!
that a 4x8 foot sheet in the US mate lol
See? Plenty of room to store at least 2 or 3 wombats down there!
In boxes
Boatbuilding and cats? Where do i sign in?😂
Where can I apply to be crew??
Hi Clayton. Check out our website for the crew forms www.brupeg.com
in case you did not notice, that "Royal" kitty just said that he loves you...! Now you have the responsability to openly adopt him. He is beautiful and you both realy need another pet to tender and love. It's just my guess
We feed her up and cuddle he whenever we want (honestly she could take it or leave cuddles) but she is WAY to independent to stay with any one bunch of people. She has 4-5 homes she swaps around at will
Wow Jess, sitting in your elevator in a charming outfit with the sun on your face was impressive.
I'll miss you when you go to sea.
The episodes won’t be stopping once we launch
You can buy milk crates? I thought you just steal them from behind the grocery stores...:-)
Who says we haven’t just brought thirty crates ‘some guy’ found behind a grocery store
Jess; doesn't need to be sanded
Dames OCD; IT NEEDS TO BE PERFECT ARFGGHHHHHH
Tell me I’m wrong. Your not human if you can stare at a join that’s wonky and not have an overwhelming urge to rip the wall down and start over
@@ProjectBrupeg everything is wonky in swell
The only reason I bring it up is I know somebody that got in a twist with those milk crates,Be sure you'r law's don't say those belong to the dairy... Buy them from the dairy and have a receipt. Aussie law's may be different but thought I would speak up?
What rot you talk Scott. Busybody.
Save space, no toilet paper allowed, install bum washers at each 🚽. Saves black water tank from paper jams.
For some reason here in the U.S. there was a run on TP. We were not ready and were left high and not dry. My wife being a quick thinker bought bidet attachment for our toilets. She and the kids loved them, which left what was left of the TP for me. It has been very cost affective. Win win!!!
Biodegradable paper
Seems the cat was a bit "cat"-atonic, you think? Ah ah ah! Badum tsssss!
Love it
by the by, Patrick Childers has passed, a victim of CV19, sad loss to our community
It is a sad loss, I hope she is doing ok.
yeah good answer you are on to it expect nothing less from a kiwi
Thanks Felicity
Really boggles the mind how far you've come and how close out is to drop in the water. Jealous!
Thanks Harry

Of the 15 min episod you talk for 14 of them about what's going to hapen. When ar we going to see how you do it?
Why, in another episode, of course! :-) The Brupeg project moves along in a sort of organic way - some bits are slow, some bits are intense, but overall it keeps moving ahead, and the videos reflect this.
I think many viewers like the unscripted, slightly 'loose' way the episodes happen. It makes it more participatory, whereas if each video was produced to a slick, rigid formula it would lose a lot of its charm and realism.
What I love about TH-cam is that the creators are their own producers and directors. There are no TV executives waving clipboards and ranting about 'content density' and ratings; there are no bored focus-groups making stupid demands and suggestions. We just get to accompany some very nice people on their journey. I rather like the informal approach; 14 minutes of chat is fine by me.
Relax. Have a cup of tea. There'll be another video out soon. We'll get there in the end.
