In my younger days I worked as a shipwright and boat builder ( I am now in my seventies). What you are showing in your videos is blowing me away. One thing comes to mind, It is not an inexpensive build. I am loving what you two are doing and thanks for sharing it with us all. Regards, Nick.
I’m no sailer, but I can appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that goes into this build. It’s really amazing and I’m really excited to see the rest of the build. 🇬🇧
I am so happy for you all...buying a boat from a manufacturer that actually knows how to lay up fiberglass in today's modern fiberglass manufacturing model. Some of the other YT channel folks are really suffering from other sub-standard manufactured boats. What a machine you all will have.
I concur with the requests for more of this technical information. Between the first Seawind 1370 build and the Max 42 build by Matt & Jessica, the cruising community is getting a master class in catamaran construction. Thanks for the excellent material!
I'm aroused 😎 You can see how much Seawind take pride in every step of the process. That hull will still be sailing when we are all compost. Your forensic analysis during the selection process has paid off.
This is just amazing. As someone that spent their career building aircraft and working with those same materials for years the process they are using in incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Unbelievable amount of work goes into any boat build but the cats are something else. Thank you again. You ROC!
Seeing those behind the scenes manufacturing clips must absolutely build your confidence in the strength of the base boat design then. Cough, Sailing Parlay Revival disaster, cough. Love those linear fore and aft webs too that are cast into the hull too. So good.
it is nice to see that the manufacturer has the confidence to video the build, what an advert! For us mere mortals it is awesome to see the detail and expertise used. Rather a different approach to the one I am used to, working in a wood specialist boatyard in the 1970's! Had a book written about it, that process being very old a bit like me!
Very timely! I've been trying to unlock the "secrets" of boat materials. So far I've found: - Carbon fibers: Stronger, lighter, more expensive than fiberglass. - Vinylester resin: Stronger, more expensive than polyester resin. Cheaper than epoxy. - Foam core: More reliable than wood and lower water absorption. Divynycell foam core is one of the better ones. So overall, it looks like you are getting great quality basic materials in the new boat!
Seawind has done a fantastic job of utilising technology to create a hull that is far superior to many other manufacturers. I hope all the rest of the bulkheads are fitted with the same precision. I am looking forward to the rest of the build series, cheers Rustie.🍺🦘
WOW! Honest to god this is one of the most incredible things I’ve seen! I had NO idea! The vacuum bagging!?!? WHA??? I will be watching this about 4 more times. I’m so geeked out about this right now! Thank you!!!
Yaaasssss! Absolutely LOVE getting to see more detail! Seeing how they chose to define each section of the mould and how they designed the structural elements is amazing!
I saw this process on the Seawind channel a few weeks ago... It made me want a Seawind more than anything. Congratulations guys, your boat is going to be the best thing on the water.....
Amazing insight. Really makes Seawind stand above the pack. There’s a security a customer needs to feel comfortable with the workmanship of a craft their lives depend on. Great job.
Wow your timing on this type of ‘build quality’ film… is perfect. The Lagoon bulkhead situation is shocking… and I’m sure many viewers are thinking much more deeply about how manufacturers are making their boats!!
Resin infusion is great , but they did regular wet layup for the outer skins of glass against the water. The double scored foam has been around for 35 years I was vacuum Bagging foam into hulls in 1991 and Jeremy Rodgers was producing similar hulls in the 80’s by RTM vac-assist an early cushion of the infusion process that requires more tooling but a lot less wasted plastic , hose , bagging films etc But this is a great build with NO WOOD IN STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. Very glad to see all wood rots in fiberglass boats! Cheers Warren
I know you guys must be extremely excited that your hulls is next and Nick must be happy to geek out on the technical side of the boat build. Well done episode 🍺🍺
I can only imagine how excited you are. We are in the early planning stages of our dream home, retirement is less than a year away, and I have bit of that excitement as well. I've owned hot rod boats almost all my adult life, and at 62 the changes I've seen in the tech that goes into hull construction are simply astounding. I don't think you could have picked a better time to do this, the infusion process and the tech in the glass and bonding agents have been sorted pretty well, and carbon...well carbon is changing the world. Love this stuff,,,the tech and the actual build, the "dirty hands part", as it were.Can't wait to see more.
They haven't left a lot of bulkhead surrounding those doorways. I'm sure it's all engineered, but it gave me chills having just watched SPR's bulkhead issues. Great episode! Keep the technical stuff coming!
Thanks for the behind the scenes molding of the hull. Glad RR2 is Hull#2, you get all mistakes on hull #1 corrected on your build (LOL). She will be an amazing vessel. Fair winds and following seas Ruby Rose.
The commentary was extremely well done. On point with the imagery, not too technical - easy to follow and leaving room for wanting more. Great job putting that raw footage together. Outstanding!
Having done vacuum bagging on a very small scale it was cool to see the miles of tubing involved in a project of this size. This will be a very nice boat!
Looks alot stronger than a lagoon 450. Parlay revival videos with cracked bulkheads look like a disaster. Great insight to catamaran construction. Cant wait to see the rest of the build.
Can’t wait to see the next process in the build. So jealous of you two and RR2! Must have more to feed my addiction of the life I forgot to live. So I live vicariously through the two of you. ;)
This is unreal that you are able to capture this footage and make it available for us. The detail in here is much deeper than it might appear on the surface, as Im just learning more about boat construction and beginning some fiberglass builds myself, the difference between armature hour and a professional piece of glass is really incredible. Seeing the infusion process is really eye opening and Im eternally grateful the hull popped out of the mold without any damage (that seems to be the scariest part of the whole build). Theres less fiberglass matting than I would have thought there was, somehow I thought it would be at least 4+ layers of triaxial on both sides of the foam core but that looks pretty clean and Im sure its exceptionally strong with all the cad work. Somewhat sad that theres so much wasted material in the build process (vacuum bag/lines/plug/etc) but compared to the wasted materials that go into each home its really not that bad if its for a live aboard family.
Yeah, it's crazy just how thin you can get away with in the laminations due to the sandwich construction! I've been working on a cat design for a bit and while I have basically zero experience to design the layup, I've just defaulted to 4 layers on either side of the core as a "rough estimate for weight estimations" and suspect that in many areas it's massively overboard. Though of course, it would be insufficient in other areas, so I figure it should work out as a basic "this is roughly how much cloth/resin/core will be needed".
Great to see the detailed way everything is being put together. Looking forward to witnessing the process through your great videos. Don't skimp on any of the technical stuff Nick. I for one totally enjoy it.
By the way, Nick you have the perfect voice for doing that kind of voice-over. I don't know how many takes it took you, but it is just so smooth and I want to say complete? I don't know what the right word is...
Things have progressed since I did layup work. At that time we had to autoclave everything. I can't imagine building a 45 foot autoclave that wide. Now you just need a massive vacuum system and you're good to go.
Exquisite construction. The builders over at the goon show will be green with envy and blushing with regret over there poor effort... You guys need to take over the marketing for Seawind. I saw their blog of the infusion process, but they lack your video and presentation skills. Good to see the Parlay boys here too... Small world is our boating community...
GREAT insight into the building process! Esp interesting with what's being exposed over on Parlay as they try to fix the crap bulkheads from Lagoon. Amazing how many of your viewers are also following Parlay. Your non-technical summary for us lay people was excellent!
Fascinating. What technological advancements will lead to in boat design and construction should prove to be a game changer for sure. Carbon fiber is nearly indestructible. WOW, this is going to be a beautiful boat! Really looking forward to your upcoming episodes.
WOW! This was an amazing video to watch. It's great to see the amount of carbon fiber (CF) used in this boat build to lighten and strengthen the overall boat. I've seen so many boat videos where if the builder would have used a little more of the CF in those critical areas it would have been a much stronger boat. I can only imagine how excited you both are watching those videos too and it will be nice to see the finished product that will become your home-away-from-home when it's completed.
What an amazing episode and thankyou for taking us along on the journey. I love the attention to detail, and yes, Lagoon can learn something from this. Can't wait to see more episodes on your build
After reading most of the comments, what I take away from them is that we have a wonderful, close knit community of yacht TH-camrs here. We all care about Colin and what he's going through. As Plukky would say 'nice one PEEPOL'. See you out there next year hopefully.
Hi Nick and Terysa. Thanks for the great channel and your awesome Catamaran reviews, they were the main reason we bought a Seawind 1260 last week! We are based in Brisbane and can't wait to explore on our new boat when she arrives. We are very excited to see where you take Ruby Rose 2. Thanks again. Tom, Angela and Ella.
Wow! The vacuum bag setup is crazy cool! The factory may be in Viet Nam for low labor costs but there is no skimping on technology. Can't wait for hull number 2!
Great job Nick! I love listening to you explain not only the process but the Tech. details that go along with the build. I can't imagine the first process in the beginning of building Cat's to the process of today! Great job Nick can't wait for the next chapter! Cheers !!! :) :)
@@EdwardTilley I don't know if they re-use the hoses, but flushing them with acetone would clean them up. Several factors to take into account - the hose material and cost; will acetone degrade the hose? unlikely but something to consider, and is it cheaper to discard gallons of acetone/resin rather than replace the hose? Then you have many gallons of sticky acetone sitting around until the acetone evaporates off, this isn't a quick process and carries a huge fire risk. I suspect the hose is single use.
@@2212db I think you're right. A part of the cost of the construction, and seeing the strength you get from so much less material, I should think that hose cost amounts to a savings overall. That carbon fibre isn't cheap though. You are looking at around $300 for a sheet the size of a piece of plywood, unless I'm mistaken. I'd actually like to see how they make the keel superficial and replaceable- and even how they could build in a light weight double-hull. Gets a busy mind turning - as if this solution isn't already complex enough. This made me think that just a ply or two of carbon the length of the keel and an inch above it would keep out any reefing-damage seawater - and then if you wanted bulletproof as well, a single sheet of kevlar around a saferoom. Am definitely overthinking this, but now is the time.
Watched most of Ruby 🌹 1 video happy to the CAT Ruby 🌹 2. Good luck to both of u. Hope, when she takes to the water, u will sail by my island in Arabian sea one day .

Carbon fiber bulkhead!
Hey Colin. Great to see you on here. Sorry for your bulkhead woes mate. Beer when we catch up
Farben Khyber hulkbed!
Your a hero to the lagoon owners that are finding themselves is a similar situation.
Good luck Colin and crew and the other owners dealing with manufacturing problems. Love your work mate. Hope you're all feeling better.
All I could think of was of Parley once they put in that bulkhead. Hoping the best for you!
Qualified boatbuilder here 30 years I'm sure you're aware but I was very impressed by you're boat build video quality build there for sure !

Now, that was riveting, without a single rivet in sight! I couldn't not watch. Fascinating. Thanks for showing.
I'm aroused 😎 You can see how much Seawind take pride in every step of the process. That hull will still be sailing when we are all compost. Your forensic analysis during the selection process has paid off.
The attention to detail is astounding! It is becoming clearer why you selected this builder! Fascinating! Keep these coming please.

agreed. I was using this to make Kyacks in the early 90s. and my Privledge 39 was made using this same process in 92
The wood rots under the fiberglass, whether the wood is totally encapsulated or just covered with glass on the top.
8:10 - We ALWAYS want extra "Nerd Points". More!!! More!!! This is probably the best boat production video ever produced!
Hahahaha mate. WHEN I get to Vietnam, I am going to woo you with all sorts of daily nerd updates

Fabulous tour. Excellent commentary, Nick. I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you both.

Thank you two and Seawind for the video of how the hull is made. Awesome. I always wanted to see how the bagging is done.
It’s a fun thing to watch
Incredibly interesting! Thanks for pulling the curtain back on an amazing build.
Looks alot stronger than a lagoon 450. Parlay revival videos with cracked bulkheads look like a disaster. Great insight to catamaran construction. Cant wait to see the rest of the build.
So exciting to see the hull come together. Looking forward to the next episode already!
Cant wait for the cabinet install episode and the quality gushing on the wood fitment.
