Yay, I found another boat project to follow, and close to the beginning. Just binge-watched to catch up. Can’t wait to see what you turn this beautiful boat into. Aloha from Hawaii!
A newbie here too. And yes I'm binge looking too at your previous videos. Love it ! PS Wow, the finish on your small "plywood" sailboat is astonishing ! Like glass ! 👍
Just discovered your channel in my feed and I’ve enjoyed a binge watch to catch up to your most recent vid. Look forward to following along as you repurpose Duracell. Cheers
just a though why bit go for a ketch rig might be easier to source masts main doesnt need to be as tall with lower centreof effort etc. mizzens are so useful ..
@@TheDuracellProject A Swedish boat called Tailwind 36. Like you, I'm planing some radical changes. But the last 2 months the project havd been on pause because of problems with my back. And the next 2-3 month the weather will be too bad. But from about April I expect to work again.
I would love to vac bag or infuse everything, but it's just not within our budget, especially for those big parts. There will definitely be parts in the future that I'll have to bag, which I love doing.
I am curious your application of epoxy to the foam core. I've heard, and seen, that when epoxy is applied to one side of an object, like wood, that it will warp as the epoxy cures. That both sides have to be done in pretty close succession. Yet, it didn't look like you did that with your bulkheads. Can you please enlighten me?
Good question. I fastened the foam to the table to do the laminating, so it was held flat. And as soon as it was cured on one side, within a day or two, I'd flip it over and do the other side. Never had a problem with warping. Thanks for the question.
I've done a lot with both, and either would work fine for this. I prefer working with epoxy because it doesn't give off fumes as much as poly/vinyl resins. Epoxy is a bit stronger than vinyl but it tends to be a lot more expensive. I found a good deal on the epoxy I'm using so I'm going with it.
Mat, A little off subject, but can you tell me the maker of the garage that your standing in at the end of this video? I'm really enjoying your remake of Duracell I'll be watching till the very end. Getting wet in Oregon
Hey Scott, usually there is a big enough gap between the hull and the part I am installing that I can place the part in and inject glue into the gap. Or I will cove and tape one side and inject glue into the gap on the other side and do that at the same time as I am coving the opposite side…if that makes sense?
The fumes is a big reason I don't use poly/vinyl resins. Usually I would because they are usually so much cheaper, but I've found this epoxy from RAKA which if bought in bulk is sold at a great price. And the epoxy fumes are far easier to handle, but we wear masks to be safe. @ Löre, I bought Janni a mask, you are right she should be wearing one.

I am so glad the boat is almost perfectly symmetrical. I am happy to be on this journey with you.
Thanks, Susan! We were happy to find this out too :)
Nice stack of Admiral receipts at the end!!
You know it!
Awesome! Best part of my wednesday !
Wow! :)

Aloha! Thanks for watching. We love Hawaii, especially Hilo. Where are you from?
Cool project, my ideal "next boat" would be a slightly smaller open class derivative. Nice to see.
Love working with foam and epoxy.

Thank you, Marc!
You good have done to smoothing of the peel ply with a roller also 😜 great job btw 💪🏻💯
sometimes I use a roller :)
glad I found your new project....can't wait to follow your progress. Your ideas sound great.
Thanks for following along!

Awesome, thank you!
Love this channel
Very interesting. I know nothing about boats but am fascinated with what you are doing. Thanks for the video 👍👍
Awesome, Jim. Glad to have you along.
Great work!
Love this project! Can’t wait to see how it ends up
Thanks, man!

Nice work!
Thanks buddy! Feel free to stop by next time you're in the area, would love to catch up!
HI matt.
I'm excited to follow your work, because I have a similar project in my garden. Only, my boat is quite smaller (36feet).
Hi Henrik! What kind of boat are you fixing up?

Good luck to you! It's not easy work. And thanks for watching.
Cool that it's still symmetrical after so many years. Did you not want to vacuum consolidate the laminating? Or even use infusion?
I would love to vac bag or infuse everything, but it's just not within our budget, especially for those big parts. There will definitely be parts in the future that I'll have to bag, which I love doing.
@@TheDuracellProject Awesome. Look forward to seeing more. Thanks for the reply!
This is Nick, Janni’s cousin. Catching up on the videos now, we’d love to come see the project and put in a few evenings helping!
Panning to cat shot is the content I’m here for.
That's a lot of boat refit footage for a few seconds of kitty!
We’re here for you Somerset.
Very glad I found this channel. Really interesting project. Whats the deal with the Norwegian flag in the shop? question from a Norwegian guy Roald :D

I like working with epoxy and have never used polyester resin. I know epoxy is more expensive. Is is better for this type of work?

Bonjour ,Mr voila ,comment fixer la mousse a votre table pour ne pas avoir de deformation
merci
Hi there, I’m just wondering why it seems you don’t glue the edges of the bulkheads when you install them?
Hey Scott, usually there is a big enough gap between the hull and the part I am installing that I can place the part in and inject glue into the gap. Or I will cove and tape one side and inject glue into the gap on the other side and do that at the same time as I am coving the opposite side…if that makes sense?
What was the foam type?
5# PVC (Divinycell)
Why that Norwegian flag?
Nice build by the way
Janneke's Dad is from Norway!
Is that a norwegian flag in your garage?
Ja, Janneke (min kone) er halv Norsk og snakker Norsk. Jeg laerer litt :)
Remember to get a mask for your wife also.. :) Not nice fumes from the epoxy
Most epoxies don't use solvents - no fumes. Polyester resins are nasty to breathe.
The fumes is a big reason I don't use poly/vinyl resins. Usually I would because they are usually so much cheaper, but I've found this epoxy from RAKA which if bought in bulk is sold at a great price. And the epoxy fumes are far easier to handle, but we wear masks to be safe.
@ Löre, I bought Janni a mask, you are right she should be wearing one.
