Have just binged the whole series and have to say the work you guys have done is amazing. Well done, some amazing skills and perseverance from all of you. I'm looking forward to your future videos and when you finally get out on your travels.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this series a few weeks ago, you guys are awesome! This video was great, I loved seeing the project start, and finish (mostly), in the same video🎉
Great episode! I just found your channel. Dracarys is a 2021 L50 as well (Hull #100). I didn't order the utility room option, but sure wish I had! Feel free to reach out if you want to reference another 2021 L50 for anything - I'm aboard full-time and happy to put eyes on something for you.
Cool! Keep up the awesome work, it is a blast to watch. I might have chosen a slightly different route, but hey it's not my boat! I'd have probably have raised the berth slightly or placed it on a lifting mechanism or come up with a fold down floor and bunks that would hinge inboard and constructed a space similar to a Sirius 40DS. I might feel differently if I actually owned one of these monsters. I've been on a 50 at a show and walked around and just felt like it was way too much for us. Thus my mindset may be more from the 42-45 standpoint of trying to maximize every inch...which also results in compromise. Plus we are not living out on the water and our expectations will for sure be different than reality. The space available probably far exceeds your needs in the vast majority of situations already and a nicer workshop is probably a bigger need.
Hey guys, we own a 2020 50 that is still in the Moorings fleet. That eta boat and maybe beyond had a warranty issue with the transverse bulkheads. The Crestomer adhesive failed on a number of boats. In this most recent job you guys exposed that bulkhead which is impossible to get to. You may want check the adhesive on that joint. Ours never effectively cured. Good luck.
everyone always tells me I'm nuts, with the types and scope of projects I take on!! but MAN!!! You take the cake my friend!! hahaha... Id be Hard pressed to rip apart a multi million dollar yacht cabin like that, in fear that I wouldn't get the thing back together or Id damage something structural!!! excellent videos!! I love watching them!
I don't blame Sydney one bit for freaking out in there. I didn't realize I was claustrophobic until I was shoved in a trunk for a prank. I was literally less terrified being shot at and literally shot. Then I was in that trunk, I lost my mind! Lol
@@SailingDauntless I actually demoed our bathroom while Jeff was out of town once. He came home after four days on the motorcycle. "Hi honey. Look what I did while you were gone!" 😁
Just wondering why you wouldn't put a bearers on the side[ Glassed in] from front to back for the floor then stringers across ? Would that not be stronger and spread the load of the floor?
Because the lighter boat is able to gain speed quickly due to the less weight it holds, some sacrifices must be made once you fall out of the mindset you are in. First things to go are the extra cabins. One extra cabin for visitors you can't say no to. Wife saw I got to keep my scuba gear, she got her washer/dryer after complaining I wasn't being fair. The utility room. A nightmare, as you point out, for weight distribution. Never ever reaches the great concept of having all the crap together, and out of the way, while underway. No more floating shop, and parts house for what other boats typically need because of poor maintenance practices. Still doesn't reduce the exposer for MacGyvers. Still can't say "this is now Sparta" and kick the person you hardly know into the water. I like your choice in catamarans. You will be the envy of the majority of the other boats you anchor with. Don't get your sugar scoops below the water line.
I’m curious to see what her weight is when we are done and how she sits in the water. We will be carefully adding and weighing stuff and then we will be taking her to the yard for a lift to get a final weight.
Watching MJ Sailing, lots of mask use for chemical & dust. What say you about not using? Thought that you were going to glass your floor beams to your hull for additional strength or are you thinking that the weight on the floor will wedge these & the glue will be strong enough?
Since the side walls of the hull are not straight verticle will measuring down the 2 1/2" on an angle still be a true measurement for floor to be true (cause no such thing as level on a boat) smooth transition and not have a wave to it? Not sure if that came out right, sounded better in my head. Lol
I work for Adfors -Saint-Gobain, we manufacture some insect screen products you may be interested in. I can send you a few rolls at no charge. One the Sun Guard 80 reflects 80% of the solar would be good for a solar shade and the small insect for no-see-ups. I have sent a few rolls to the guys at Parley and David Shih. They are making hatch covers and door covers with the a small insect and using the solar for shade areas. Let me know if I can send you some product
@@SailingDauntless Thanks for the reply. I hadn’t noticed the paint in the other bilges. I asked because I plan to do a similar build on smaller scale in my Leopard 40. Looking forward to the rest of your build!

13:30 “and here’s our new hot-tub” 😉
It crossed my mind….
Wow!!! Can’t wait to see this boat finished
crazy talented family and attention to detail is what it's all about !!

Thank you! Welcome aboard. I will definitely be reaching out.

Hey guys you are some team constructing a new room, your work to detail is remarkable as usual .Look forward to next episodes.

Thank you for the heads up. We have checked all of ours and we are rock solid.
Hey Crew, very good job. You have the right tools..... Regards from Germany
Guys your expertise is on higher levels.!each video always have an amazing improvement.

That demo would have come in handy before the hull repair.
Man cave on cat, lol. I just know this will be an epic solution for all the tools, parts, and a sanctuary for the future. Lol
Ty's a smart guy. I'd have done that with a couple hundred more steps and worse result. good on that man!
Wow! Such an expert with zero experience.
Amazing work
Best ov the best
I agree with her! Everyone likes to break shit sometimes!
They sell a thickened epoxy in a ready to use caulk gun tube that works really good for creating a radius for tabbing.
Great job. A utility bunk, Pullman birth sort of just-in-case contingency.
Yeah, I’m working on that now. Let’s see how clever I get with space and storage 🤷🏼♂️
I don't blame Sydney one bit for freaking out in there. I didn't realize I was claustrophobic until I was shoved in a trunk for a prank. I was literally less terrified being shot at and literally shot. Then I was in that trunk, I lost my mind! Lol
Nice work as always.
AWESOME job Armstrong Fam!!
Looks like a fun project to do.
Great job to the Sailing Dauntless Team. The utility room is looking fantastic good job!
You're a mean one....Mr. Grinch!
Looking ship shape!!
Looking great guys
Amazing work you all have come so far
Nice ink Mads!!!
Another great video!!!
I LOVE Demo Day!!!
Us too!!
@@SailingDauntless I actually demoed our bathroom while Jeff was out of town once. He came home after four days on the motorcycle. "Hi honey. Look what I did while you were gone!" 😁
Nice work team
Whoa! Someone lost weight? Nice work!
What happened to the rewiring the whole boat project? Last I remember is all the old wiring was removed.
We are waiting on some equipment so the wiring has been side lined for a bit, we will get back to it soon
Wow that came out excellent, better than off works I would say
Wow
Off to a great start!
love your boat work.

Would that not be stronger and spread the load of the floor?
Love watching these guys. This guy is so knowledgeable and skilled. Wonder what he did before this.
Thank you! We had a construction/fabrication company.

Nice job!!!!
could you have made steps down to that floor level and have overhead cabinets above counter?
Yes but we didn’t want to make a hole for someone to fall in so we are going to take advantage of the below floor storage instead.
Watching MJ Sailing, lots of mask use for chemical & dust. What say you about not using?
Thought that you were going to glass your floor beams to your hull for additional strength or are you thinking that the weight on the floor will wedge these & the glue will be strong enough?
They were glassed in, we unfortunately didn’t get footage of it. PPE is important and is worn daily when we feel the task warrants it.

Betting not much of angle to make a difference.
I held the tape vertical on those sections and “eye-balled” it. The floor luckily turned out dead flat !
YOU’RE AMAZING TY!!! I’m 🎶singing 🎶If I only had your brain…
#wizardofeverything
👍☑🏝 Lots of stuff happening, looks great! Don't make Stella work so hard, she looks exausted. LOL
Her supervisory skills are tested to the limits every single day!🤣🤣
@@SailingDauntless And at this very second I'm watching her supervise and moonwalk on this week's video's project 🤣🤣
You may have been able to use a line level in the same way. If you shut off the gimbal in that tool I think it would work
Yeah, I tried and mine wasn’t cooperating. Oh well, now I have another tool =)

Sounds great thanks! Send me an email thecrew@sailingdauntless.com
With all the removal, any structural changes?
No structural changes
My wife walked by & asked if that guy (Ty) was in jail. 😂
Boat work jail……
Are you not removing some strength from the hull?
No, everything in the cabins is non-structural.
Curious why you painted the bottom instead of leaving natural, since it will be covered by sub floor?
We applied gel coat to match the rest of the bilges in the boat
@@SailingDauntless Thanks for the reply. I hadn’t noticed the paint in the other bilges. I asked because I plan to do a similar build on smaller scale in my Leopard 40. Looking forward to the rest of your build!
Hi. Where can I purchase that "floor" laminate?
From the factory in South Africa is how we sourced it
The subtitle block is kind of cool but he flashing is a bit crazy
Starting wonder if this boat repair channel lol
For a little longer at least
Ha ha, once they are done and sailing, it will be a “maintenance, repair, upgrade” channel”. Tee hee
Leftys do it right
Quit cutting holes in Kim's Boat!!
RIGHT!🤣
No mask, thought you knew better to protect your lungs.
The editing is very annoying. Other than that, great video.
Poor planning for filming. It's too loud and annoying to watch. 😫
lots of other options to watch on TH-cam. I like the real life, unscripted production that is the trademark of the Dauntless crew.
That means no room for yours future grandchildren is that ok? 🥲🚼
