The attention to design detail and finishing is unbelievable. You have modified and incorporated so much to the rear and roof sections. Thanks for the fairing compound mix hack. She will have some unique and innovative features to admire: sugar scoops, stairs, ladder, davits, gas fill, safety box, roof/cabin, helm and so much more to come.
Thanks Ross for the kind words and mentioning Infinity Rigging. Very pleased you responded to the Pulpits I saw on Marketplace. Hope they suit your Cat. Really enjoying your ventures and hope you never finish the project 🤪 as I wouldn’t know what to watch on a Friday morning. I so admire your tenacity and eye for detail - you are going to have one beautiful craft when it’s all done. Will drop in again in the future. Let me know if you are on the market for anything else for the Catamaran. Cheers Peter Edwards (Eddy)
It will be done when it’s done. You are a hard worker so it’ll be done sooner than later! I for one will be kind of sad when it’s done. I will be thrilled for you but sad the the build videos will come to an end. I thoroughly enjoy your videos! As always thanks for sharing!
I can see it's a complete pain to do all the finishing prep but like everything else, you just plough through it and get it done right. I love it that you don't hide how muh it sh*ts you.😂 Thanks for sharing, Ross. From the UK
People can't realize how much time and energy it takes to do a huge project like you have been doing. I'd tell them it will be done when it's done. The boat looks great and when it's done you will have a boat to be proud of. Well done I've been here from the start and love every video.❤
That ain't no exagerration. As a homebuilder, so often would owners complain of paying for months of 'no progress'. So, again I would have to explain that foundations take a lot of work. Even having been explained, they were expecting something above ground.
Those of us with long term projects do. I do and still am amazed at the commitment. There's so many places where he could've cut the corner, because it would've been enough, but he didn't. This really is, one of the best cats ever made. Even the most expensive cats out there have something faulty by comparison. We've all seen the sh!t methods they build them by, TH-cam's full of it.
Damn, I almost didn’t recognize you Ross at the beginning....a nice shirt and trousers, you clean up pretty good! I agree 100%, a nice smooth surface under your hardtop will look perfect and wear nicely. Another great episode, thanks so much!
No spiders on the boat I don’t do spiders of any kind to many legs and so unnatural the way they move fairing and flow coat gets a big thumbs up from me when you finish the cat we all want to see videos of your adventures so keep the videos coming Ross I need my Thursday fix every week my addiction to this build demands it 😁😁😁
Ross, I love you dedication and workmanship! She is going to be an absolute beauty when she's done.... Thank you for bringing us along this journey. Bri
Ross, I must say once again. That tail end is absolutely stunning mate. Just wow. I can already see your family enjoying the large scoop platform's and spending a lot of time on your scoops. Swimming, fishing, diving or just lounging. Masterful job my friend. Those who ask how long just don't understand. Having watched from day one I've been impressed with your time frame and how much you've gotten done. It will take how long it takes. All the best from Texas my friend.
Thought i told you not to cut into the boat again .🤨😂.Love the detail hiding the conduit . Getting all the shitty necessary stuff done takes forever and some days it feels even takes longer than forever but its looking great Rosco .
So far, this project is looking great! A good many years helped build a sailboat that was about 3 years, but I learned a lot. One thing I learned is you never ask how long it's going to take as you just don't know.
Rosco, your going to need 20+ yrs cruising exotic locations to recover from this epic build! Because your building it so well! In my case,I put way too many light's in
Its all about the Journey, not the Destination. Hate to see it come to an end, but to all good things there is a limit. We're enjoying your boat building video's and particularly your engineering of fabrications of your personal modifications. It would be entertaining to follow your thinking on many of the details impacted by your modifications, ie. how will that port side leading edge of your roof manage in strong wind conditions? Keep up the good work, its a good solid build. Cheers
ROSCOE I should of called you (Sandy Poxy) years ago ! That's a good nic name for you isn't ìt ? Because that's all you have done from the beginning sanding and epoxying 😂but you are doing such a terrific job and she is looking so beautiful. Great video xxx❤ hi janet ❤xxx
Very Nice work Ross. I have heard of the diy fairing compound before, though never seen it used, so nice to se how it works for you, i might have to try it some day. All the best to you.
Ross, you going to go with a single filler and a transfer system, or going to use a dual system with a filler on both sides? Also, you going to build a hard top for the Helm station? You could run lights up to it as well. Having a light over the helm would be nice. Fwd progress!
Nice Job. Who likes fairing? Nobody!! Will the helm station have a "lid" so when you sit or stand at the helm you have some shelter? Perhaps some clears to protect you at the sides as well?
If it weren't for the fact that the top shell's already at finish level, i would've added a 10~20 cm strip of foam on top of the roof rather than meeting it to the edge from the bottom. The purpose is sound, to have something to grab on, but i feel that the way you finished it initially looked a bit better with that stepped retreat. But don't mind me, that's just years of design school indoctrination nagging. :)) Nice progress in this episode, extending the scoops was the best choice.
The other question I hated was, " What are you going to do when it is finished" My answer was "I will maintain it" As it turns out that was the biggest truth I have ever said. Maintenance is never ending
So how long before you're finished? 😜 COuldn't resist. Most people that make stuff will know it'll be finished when it's finished. Looking good though, every step is another step closer to the end goal.
As I said to ship happens, compared to you guys with families, business to run, boat building / renovating. I don't know how you do it. I feel like a snail on a motorway that broke down 3 decades ago and still waiting for the AA to arrive.

I freak out every time someone asks me "when I'm going to be done" or how long will it take, my answer to that one is more than a day shorter than a year but it doubles every damn time you ask me!
Roscco, the perfect Thursday night entertainment, life on the hulls, Ollie from drain addict and project brupeg. Just put you on pause for a minute, raided the store cupboard and found a nice bottle of single malt and some cheese and biscuits… happy days 🎉 👍👍
When it comes to executing such a project to me it's like Playing a game of chess if your going to be a decent chess player you have to learn to think ahead in order to execute the correct moves. Anyone who's had experience with building a large project at such a scale, understands that you cannot put a time frame on such projects because you cannot always fore see what you may have to run into or have to re-modify and such. To be honest, I think its a stupid stupid question that usually comes from someone who doesn't basically know what the heck their going on about.
So... Ross....when someone asks how long to build a boat? The answer will always be...2 more years. No matter how long....it's 2 more years, then when your done with your boat...., you finish 2 years ahead of schedule
Ross, Tell them the boat build NEVER ENDS... it's a BOAT, after all.... they are numbskulls ! They probably don't bother to subscribe, or leave a like for the videos too !
Sounds like you need a few very cold beers! Stop stressing over the idiots asking stupid questions, they are never going away just ignore them. It will sail when it’s done! in the meantime we get great build videos.
Please take care of your blood pressure. For the love of god people no more questions about time frames. I want to see this floater get finished. Im so old that I remember when they finished Gilligan's Island and they hadn't got rescued yet.
The attention to design detail and finishing is unbelievable. You have modified and incorporated so much to the rear and roof sections. Thanks for the fairing compound mix hack.

Proper job mate.
At the risk of repeating myself, a blind man would like to see that 👍
She's looking great Ross. The long view across the transoms is impressive.
Thanks Ross for the kind words and mentioning Infinity Rigging. Very pleased you responded to the Pulpits I saw on Marketplace. Hope they suit your Cat.

As always, a master class in glassing. People who ask how long, have never tackled a project of this magnitude.
It will be done when it’s done. You are a hard worker so it’ll be done sooner than later! I for one will be kind of sad when it’s done. I will be thrilled for you but sad the the build videos will come to an end. I thoroughly enjoy your videos! As always thanks for sharing!
It will become a sailing channel when it's done.
Just a Heartfelt thank-you for sharing Your adventure.
Now the fun stuff begins 😂
Beautiful work, ya'll have every right to be proud of your build!
🤘🤠🇺🇸
I can see it's a complete pain to do all the finishing prep but like everything else, you just plough through it and get it done right. I love it that you don't hide how muh it sh*ts you.😂 Thanks for sharing, Ross. From the UK
Mads at Saillife seems to enjoy fairing... oh, glorious glorious sanding!
I’m sure he likes the revenue more than the fairing. The tagline “Oh, glorious glorious sanding!” Have made him famous and is a good source of income.
@@icelandviking1961 If he is famous then he has certainly put a lot of effort into achieving that.
Roscoe it is difficult to think of absolutely everything in advance- that’s why hindsight is so useful.😉 You making fantastic progress.😀👍⛵️
Wouldn’t be a Saturday morning here in Grenada without a Ross video! Progress looking great fella👍
Good onya Nathan,appreciate you watching mate.Rossco
Perfection takes time

She’s going to look the ducks guys mate. Keep thinking of those pesky wires. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
The sugar scoops look absolutely brilliant! So glad you did the extensions.
No spiders on the boat I don’t do spiders of any kind to many legs and so unnatural the way they move

All your details are what make your boat fantastic !
Great video Roscoe. Enjoying the insights of your thought processes and willingness to reappraise previous decisions.
Really coming along nicely. Those Sugar Scoops are Beauty's...........>

The aft area's work is looking good Rossco 🙂👍🏻
I like the sped up video, some thing fun watching the work progress in quick time , grate video
Looking great Ross
Thanks Rudi.
Awesome craftsmanship!!!!
Thanks Stephen.Appreciate your comment mate.
It’s looking great
Thought i told you not to cut into the boat again .🤨😂.Love the detail hiding the conduit .
Getting all the shitty necessary stuff done takes forever and some days it feels even takes longer than forever but its looking great Rosco .
Looking fantastic. I want to ask Ross, will you build another boat? How long until it's finished??? JOKING!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Upto now you have been playing 😂🤣, the details that take the longest. 👍🏼
Looks amazing!!!
You do such amazing work, that is going to be a beautiful boat when you are done.
Outstanding detailing sir.
El placer está en disfrutar del camino. The pleasure is in enjoying the road
I'm still excited forward to seeing the next chapter. THANK YOU
Thoroughly enjoying your build channel Roscoe, looking forward to you becoming a sailing channel.
Soo nice looking and your details Ar so good.... itl be ready and you be proud !!
Always great information in all of your videos, thanks bud!
Nice 👍
So far, this project is looking great! A good many years helped build a sailboat that was about 3 years, but I learned a lot. One thing I learned is you never ask how long it's going to take as you just don't know.

Its a cracka ... a dog's breakfast ....
You reprobate Aussies are sometimes too much. Glad to have ya!
Just can’t wait for the Speedo episode, too bad I’m sure I will be away from the internet that day.
The internet would surely break that day mate.
Cheers
"... a dogs breakfasts.." 😅 no idea what that means, but its funny as hell.

Rossco you're doing great to have figured so much already. 😅
Very Nice work Ross.
I have heard of the diy fairing compound before, though never seen it used, so nice to se how it works for you, i might have to try it some day.
All the best to you.
Thanks Martin. It works so well mate.Easily sanded and not tacky as the wax helpd to cure quickly. Cheers mate.
@@LifeOnTheHulls greate mate, i have to try that next time i have a fiberglass project 😀
Well done Ross great explanations on glassing .by the way did you fit pull wires in conduits?
Ross, you going to go with a single filler and a transfer system, or going to use a dual system with a filler on both sides? Also, you going to build a hard top for the Helm station? You could run lights up to it as well. Having a light over the helm would be nice. Fwd progress!

Ain't that the truth .Cheers
Ross, Why not brush the fairing coat on instead of spreading on with the scraper?
So how long before you're finished? 😜
COuldn't resist. Most people that make stuff will know it'll be finished when it's finished. Looking good though, every step is another step closer to the end goal.
Hi. How long will it take to finish your boat? 😜🤪😁😁😁
As I said to ship happens, compared to you guys with families, business to run, boat building / renovating. I don't know how you do it. I feel like a snail on a motorway that broke down 3 decades ago and still waiting for the AA to arrive.
Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is incredible but how come you haven't sold your soul to totalboat like every other youtuber?

Well iam sorry to hear this will be your last build! I was hoping you’d build me one too lol
What?.... no sailing vids? You must do a few of those on ocasion.
Dog's breakfast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😊😊🍺🍺🍺🍺
So.... Rossco.... How long's it gonna be? :D
Walking a dangerous line their mate.Cheers Rossco
Just tell them it will be done Tuesday lol
let them pick which one
No spiders! Spiders bad!!! If Fairing makes spiders go away I totally like Fairing now.
I personally don't mind spiders, but,pooping all over my boat I don't like.Cheers mate.Rossco

Run your wire now, you’ll thank yourself later.
Ross, Tell them the boat build NEVER ENDS... it's a BOAT, after all.... they are numbskulls ! They probably don't bother to subscribe, or leave a like for the videos too !
You can do your sermons from them…🤣😂
Lmao it's a boat it will never be completely done
That is very true.
It's unfair that you have to fair it.
Sounds like you need a few very cold beers! Stop stressing over the idiots asking stupid questions, they are never going away just ignore them.
It will sail when it’s done! in the meantime we get great build videos.
Please take care of your blood pressure. For the love of god people no more questions about time frames. I want to see this floater get finished. Im so old that I remember when they finished Gilligan's Island and they hadn't got rescued yet.
