When the day arrives, off the hard and into the water, you can and will reassure yourself, self, you did good. Sound and sturdy vessel with all the love and attention that can be mustard for the future, life aboard the ? I don't remember you mentioning Her a Name, did you Ross ? Looking good !!
@@LifeOnTheHulls LOL now i'm waiting for the next video. we need more johnny in the next few he is absolutely incredible. Keep it up man I'm so ready to retire and sail my life away soon!!
That is for sure Chris.I have come to the conclusion that to demould the hull all modules will be removed so as to be able to secure lifting points on hull sides, that will be epic work I am certain.. Cheers Rossco.
Ross, how many times have you lifted bulkheads, modules and other components in and out of your hulls? Sounds like a good contest. Who needs a gym to work out!! Great work. Thanks for keeping us entertained during this difficult time!
We are doing great here. When shopping today for the first time since all this started. Running around with a mask made me want to make a quick withdrawal from a bank.
Great project, and a good job,,, Inspiring,,, Watching you creating those little inventions, gives me the itch on starting a catamaran project myself,,, Thanska lot, Congratz from Montreal, Canada
Wish I could help! 5gal putty machine and a chopper gun, and some slitted rolls of WR or biaxial, and we would have been done with tabbing in a weekend. MVP CPP-6000 putty dispenser with a chop check pump is a huge timesaver vs hand mixing.
Been watching for a while now . watched you fabricate a lot of the modules, including removing them from the molds. And notice that a little flexibility in The raw component aided in this removal. as your hull gets stiffer and heavier you are removing all flexibility from it. Aren't you concerned about popping at loose from the mold? you can still store it in the mold, but at least break it free before gets too stiff to to get it out.
Ross, another great video. That small tank that you put in, appears to be just sitting there. If it's going to contain water, it really should be tide down. Did I miss something? Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic, another big step, and no more big steps in and out of the bilge! In that part anyway. Obviously way after the fact but I know you put the tank in place but it wasn't secured. Will you be able to reach the anchor points when you cut the hatch?
I do struggle with audio settings.I let premier pro balance but seems too loud on occasion.Would love some professional advice on this setting.Cheers and thanks Ross.
Good job on this vid Rosco. Those big open spaces are closing in! :-) When you go to lift the boat in slings will one position be where that main fwd bulkhead is? Will there be any hardware attached to that bulkhead? Cheers mate! We're all fine here. Rick & Lori
don't like it when you remove modules 🙊 looks like 1 step back 🙈 im looking my self now for catamaran prject thanks to you😊 thks for your vids and youre explainsion of the things you do and why. grtz from the Netherlands
When you installed the water tank hatches I was surprised to see you drill the screw holes all the way through to the inside. How did you seal the bottoms of the holes inside the tank so water doesn't get in the laminate?
Hi Ross, beautiful work as always. I was curious that you didn't install the strap or band or whatever will actually secure the tank in location before gluing the sole over it. There's access to the top of the tank via the hatch, but is there enough access down the sides to place the securing bands?
G'day, Ross! Another entertaining episode un your adventure building this dream! I've got a few comments for ya: 2:09. ugh,🙄 fastidious cleaning so the first sign of a diseased mind! 😆. 3:13 I have that exact model of fan! It's so fun to see things like that. But since I'm in Canada and we drive on the opposite side of the road, I wonder if our fans are also opposite... 🤨😁. Last and certainly not least, a more serious question for you: Did you have a schedule in mind when you took on this project? Are you ahead or behind where you wanted to be, or are you just taking it one day at a time? I really envy you for having the skills, opportunity, and sheer determination to see this project through! I'm glad to cheer you on from the sidelines!
At what point in the build will you be forced to start on the other mold for the deck/roof ? Is there an accurate height measurement, or more of a "cut to fit" ? Is that something that should fit as soon as you set it down or do you have to trace and cut and match profiles etc ??
Hey buddy.I have a bunch of images of the last boat pulled from mold in 2009.The last boat was a power cat called Hakuna Matata, a Voyager V1270.It has recently come up for sale in Townsville Queensland.I now owns the toolibg and molds for this model.Cheers Ross
Hey Chris.I have full access now under the sole through the access hatches and I also have a further 2 complete conduits 50mm OD running along the chine on both sides of each hull further readiyng for ease of wiring and plumbing as I am trying to keep to electrics above sole level excluding bilge and alarm wiring.All the best Ross
@@LifeOnTheHulls Ross excellent explanation. Thanks so much. I have enjoyed your channel since you got it started. I have learned so much, and especially to be much safer with the chemicals. Cheers Mate!
I notice that you replaced Janet with Jon. Is this because she told you to jump off the cliff. I know we do take advantage of them. Hope all is well and such a great job. We in Canada have got rid of the snow and just waiting for the lake to open as the ice melts. Take care and be safe.
Janet has said many thibgs over our 31years together and that would one of them Art.Johnny is a great help and loves a good chat so it is great seeing him every day.Hope the restrictions arent going to stop you getting some water under your canoe buddy and some sun on your skin.All the best and stay away from the lurgie.Rossco
Gidday Tim.Floor soles sre completely filleted and tabbed as per bulkheads.This is to ensure floors become structural as well as reducing any squeeking whilst on the water.Floor boards will be glued to sole as reqiured as well.Cheers Ross
ROSSCO, don’t know if it makes any difference to you or not, but, when I search for your channel, the search suggestions always come up as “LIFE ON THE HILLS-BUILDING A CRUISING CATAMARAN”! Just note that HILLS is in place of HULLS, in the TH-cam SEARCH engine!! How that happens, why that happen, how that affects you, I have no idea. But, as long as you know about it,at least you can try to do something, ANYTHING IF POSSIBLE, about it!! Cheers, mate!!
I’m confused. You put that tank in there on its custom cradles, but then nothing to hold it down and none of the connections made before putting down the permanent cabin sole? So you are planning on putting a big hatch in that sole eventually, but just didn’t mention it in this video, right?
Hey Charles.There are large hatches in the floor that are to be cut out allowing full sccess to underneath the soles.I ensured I cant easily reach these point at all times.There are also another three conduits running along the chine above the soles for main wiring etc so plenty of easy access.Cheers Ross
Great video Ross! Thank you for your hard work to not only build your own cat, but provide us with a project perspective of your labor of love.
Ross you have a lot of energy to work on that boat, I give you a lot of credit

It's getting easier and easier to visualize what the Cat is going to look like in the end. another great video Ross. REgards, Solomon
Love when you show finish pic to work in progress. Gives us prospective.
Thanks Ash.I have just been a whole heap more photos to work off so it is really helping me focus my attention.All the best Ross
Looking awesome Ross.
looking great, Ross! Lots of progress in the last few weeks.
The world may be going to shit everywhere else but Ross always gets after it and has good news! 😎
Just finished binge watching the entire series! Now what do I do with my time? Great job!!!!!
I am now feeling very sorry for you.Thanks for enduring the marathon it is.Ross.
@@LifeOnTheHulls LOL now i'm waiting for the next video. we need more johnny in the next few he is absolutely incredible. Keep it up man I'm so ready to retire and sail my life away soon!!
nothing to say but thumbs up
Thanks Vernon. Good lad.Ross
Great job as ever Rosco love your work.
Cheers Alan.Have a great weekend.Ross
Enjoyed the video as always. Thank goodness there's not a counter keeping track of how many times the modules have gone in and out, lol.
That is for sure Chris.I have come to the conclusion that to demould the hull all modules will be removed so as to be able to secure lifting points on hull sides, that will be epic work I am certain.. Cheers Rossco.
Stay well Ross
I like at around 4:45 we see your chill out chair and drum stubby holder. Keep up the great work mate.
It has been remarked upon Nick.I spend s bit of time recovering there.Rossco
Life On The Hulls , you need a reflextion chair to contemplate what has been done and what is yet to be done. Also to admire Johnny’s latest outfit.👍🏼
That is gold Nick.I do reflect a great deal and Johns uniforms aareperfect.Rossco
Congratulations Great work 👏🎉👏🎉👏👏🎉
Nice progress Rossco
Excellent !
111 Episodes, holy crap! Way to stick with it!
looking great she will be a strong boat keep well
Keep on keeping on Ross, the days will come when you do not have to remove those modules EVER again 😀👍
Ross, I notice You put the tank in...but it wasn't strapped/secured...? Stay safe!
Never forget. You are the "can do" guy ;-)
You legend I had almost forgotten .Cheers Ross
Nice video
Cheers,appreciate you watching mate.Ross
Not playing Twister with you... hahha
I love twister.I reckon I could nail it after this build.Used to play with my 3 sisters who were all contortionists.Hsh.Cheers, Ross
Ross, how many times have you lifted bulkheads, modules and other components in and out of your hulls? Sounds like a good contest. Who needs a gym to work out!! Great work. Thanks for keeping us entertained during this difficult time!
I’m completely in awe of your stick-ti-it-ness! 🇨🇦
Good work Ross stay safe👍
Nicely done Ross. Good move with the liquid refreshments, a blokes not a camel afterall.
Good morning Ross.
Gidday Kev.Hope you are both well and things settlong down over there.Cheers guys.

When the ocean tries to chew you up you will remember all the strength built into this and smile. Good solid job mate.
I might try not to remember.All the best Rossco
Great to see heaps of progress!!! Keep up the tops work and vids.
Thanks Tim appreciate you watching.
Fun Fun Fun, Fun To Watch Somebody Else Build An Interior..... Looking good, Ross
Brilliant, mate . We can see your enthusiasm mounting .......
Awesome.............your getting good at this boat building!!!
Good episode Ross
Met Ron up in Middle Harbour the other day. He seemed pretty happy. Just don't mention the panels!
Yes.The panels are a bit of a problem at the moment.But so is life for everyone.Cheers Steve.
Alright, another video...🤟
Great to see the progress going so well but I see the covid 19 has effectively knackered your speech at time!
I bet the satisfaction your feeling as these pieces go in a final time is awesome. Keep up the good work!
Dont forget to put the tank back in.
Thanks ,got your reminder.Cheers Rossco
@@LifeOnTheHulls Yes but you forgot to strap it down dear Ross.
Brilliant work Ross
Now that i have seen another wideo of yours, i can go back to my own work.
Stay well and healthy buddy.
All the best.
Hi Ross I see you’ve run out of razor blade lol 😂,you’re looking good mate keep up the good work 👍🇬🇧💋😷
Here's your reminder for whatever it is you're going to forget 3 month from now.
Been watching for a while now . watched you fabricate a lot of the modules, including removing them from the molds. And notice that a little flexibility in The raw component aided in this removal. as your hull gets stiffer and heavier you are removing all flexibility from it. Aren't you concerned about popping at loose from the mold? you can still store it in the mold, but at least break it free before gets too stiff to to get it out.
It's already broken free in a lot of areas.
Ross, another great video. That small tank that you put in, appears to be just sitting there. If it's going to contain water, it really should be tide down. Did I miss something? Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic, another big step, and no more big steps in and out of the bilge! In that part anyway.
Obviously way after the fact but I know you put the tank in place but it wasn't secured. Will you be able to reach the anchor points when you cut the hatch?
Your background music sounds better at 1.5 x
I do struggle with audio settings.I let premier pro balance but seems too loud on occasion.Would love some professional advice on this setting.Cheers and thanks Ross.
Good job on this vid Rosco. Those big open spaces are closing in! :-) When you go to lift the boat in slings will one position be where that main fwd bulkhead is? Will there be any hardware attached to that bulkhead? Cheers mate! We're all fine here. Rick & Lori
Wish I were there to help :-)

When you installed the water tank hatches I was surprised to see you drill the screw holes all the way through to the inside. How did you seal the bottoms of the holes inside the tank so water doesn't get in the laminate?
Is the dogleg bulkhead supporting the mast? I get a bit disoriented, maybe some establishing shots showing the overall position in the boat?
Hi Ross, beautiful work as always. I was curious that you didn't install the strap or band or whatever will actually secure the tank in location before gluing the sole over it. There's access to the top of the tank via the hatch, but is there enough access down the sides to place the securing bands?

Hard work, no need for a gym pass...lol
why you don't connect the pipes before and fix the deposits before sticking the floor
At what point in the build will you be forced to start on the other mold for the deck/roof ? Is there an accurate height measurement, or more of a "cut to fit" ? Is that something that should fit as soon as you set it down or do you have to trace and cut and match profiles etc ??
Whose boat is the one you show that’s finished as comparison?
The last production model that was made from those molds.

@@LifeOnTheHulls Awesome thanks! Love your project and journey
Ross, why not run all the electrical and the water pipes down in the bilge before you seal up the lid?
Hey Chris.I have full access now under the sole through the access hatches and I also have a further 2 complete conduits 50mm OD running along the chine on both sides of each hull further readiyng for ease of wiring and plumbing as I am trying to keep to electrics above sole level excluding bilge and alarm wiring.All the best Ross

Gidday Tim.Floor soles sre completely filleted and tabbed as per bulkheads.This is to ensure floors become structural as well as reducing any squeeking whilst on the water.Floor boards will be glued to sole as reqiured as well.Cheers Ross

Thanks for that I will look into it as I am not sure why that is happening. Cheers and stay safe and well.Rossco
Hey Ross! How does the tank get held down that you just threw in the bilge and covered permanently?
Hey buddy.Tank will be held down with webbing tie downs.The mounting points are all easily accessible.Cheers and thanks for watching.Ross.
I’m confused. You put that tank in there on its custom cradles, but then nothing to hold it down and none of the connections made before putting down the permanent cabin sole? So you are planning on putting a big hatch in that sole eventually, but just didn’t mention it in this video, right?
You must have muscle in your spit ,you work so hard mate,
Nice job once again with the cat! Can i ask a stupid question? What kind of sika would you recommend for thruhole sealant? The 291?
I just do not understand how you intend to plumb and run electric wires. Closing up tye floor's.
Hey Charles.There are large hatches in the floor that are to be cut out allowing full sccess to underneath the soles.I ensured I cant easily reach these point at all times.There are also another three conduits running along the chine above the soles for main wiring etc so plenty of easy access.Cheers Ross
