We are the youngbarnacles - a family of 5 living onboard our 1990 Catana42s and together we are modifying our vintage production catamaran into a modern performance cruiser. We are marine industry professionals who make a living working on high tech racing yachts and large performance multihulls.
When we are not working in a professional capacity, we spend our time sailing, exploring and improving our old Lock Crowther designed Catana42s. Our projects on Paikea include using recycled carbon fibre parts to modify our catamaran into a modern and fast liveaboard. Our channel showcases our experiences on Paikea as we live, work and sail onboard. We try to keep our videos educational, and like to include information on how we repair and upgrade our boat plus share tips on getting the most out of your own vessel.

August update 2024
As most of you already know, Shayne and I work professionally in the marine industry. I try to get a regular video up to share with our friends on RUclips once a week to keep the channel growing but I'm going to be honest - it is REALLY hard to be working, homeschooling 3 teenage kids and putting quality content regularly on the Tube. Sometimes we just have to concentrate on paying to LIVE THE DREAM. So that being said, I have had a bit of time between projects to get an update out to everyone. What exactly have we been up to since we showed our last video of a crack in the hull in Barcelona?
Well Shayne is no longer with the French America's Cup team. It was a disappointing end as we all...

Repairing the crack in our starboard hull
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.6 месяцев назад
We have a large crack in the bottom of the starboard hull. It runs longitudinally from the engine room door to the entrance of the aft cabin. Honestly, it looks worse than it actually is, as Shayne had already repaired the hull from the outside when we did our first major upgrades in Valencia so there is no risk of water ingress or us sinking. It does, however, need to be fixed. Hauling out thi...
3D Printed Rudder Winglets for our Catamaran
Просмотров 5 тыс.6 месяцев назад
We have a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 3d printer onboard. It weighs 23kg and doesn't like humidity. So why do we have something so seemingly inappropriate on Paikea? What benefits could possibly outweigh the cost of the extra weight and space it takes up on board our tiny weight-sensitive floating home? youngbarnacles.com/3d-printed-rudder-winglets/ WEBSITE For more information you can find us at young...
Crack in the hull and asymmetric rudders - Barcelona refit begins
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.7 месяцев назад
We have started our refit! Paikea is out of the water in Barcelona and Shayne is spending whatever spare minutes he has from America's Cup work to help the boys and me with work on our own boat. Harry takes us through what our plans are for the interior refit of Paikea. It is ambitious and a crazy amount of work especially since Shayne is busy with 60 hours a week in Americas' Cup world but if ...

Just saw and realized you dont have spreaders...interesting..
Thanks. Could you have cleaned up with a wire / nylon brush? I would have cleaned with styrene, then prime with resin thinned with styrene, when it starts to go tacky apply the cloth. And finish off with Peelply
You forgot to tell us what wetpreg is
If you soak those ragged edges in epoxy before sanding, the epoxy does soak in, so not all wasted. Add a bit of bog (filler) before Peelply, then if you need to sand, you are not sanding away good fibre.
Hey guys. Glad to hear from you. Sounds like you are living life. All the ups and downs. Excellent. Go Shayne and Anna Go! Always rooting for you.
That video should be a classroom study on the psychologists open display of tact and diplomacy v’s frustrated talented engineer who feels he has been made to do something when he feels he has better things to do 🤷🏼♂️ Very interesting and enjoyable for me and I always learn something from you guys so thank you 🙏 I look forward to the day the pedal comes off the metal and you can get on with fitting out and enhancing your own boat and starting to enjoy yourselves. I see the French have since been knocked out so something was wrong there. Great sailors but OMG the arrogance 🤷🏼♂️
The condition of the bulkhead where the port chainplate was bolted was interesting
Phew, I was getting a bit worried there - so good to see you guys back!!! Love the channel and your insights into the cruising (or not as the case may be!) world. Very interesting insights into the Gunboats too... I'd have either!
Amazing :) Could you describe the design process?
Hey, you're back! Glad to see you again. Shame about the Cup team, but looking forward to what you get up to with the Gunboat.
Super informative ... thanks
yay, glad to see you back
oh cool waterproof zipper for jib fairlead. New idea to me. I'm very surprised the French team favored offshore/IMOCA people. Totally different to inshore racing. I'm sure the Gunboat would be fine for the family if you had a paid crew to clean and maintain full time :)
Great to have you back on RUclips
Orient Express first to exit the America's Cup campaign. Guess we can see how those "cultural differences" paid off. Looking forward to future videos and your expert commentary.
not surprised you cant stand up with a bunch of frogs; they think they are unique and best on everything they do all seasoned with the stupid bureaucracy and manners surrounding the french world. being working for french companies i know very well what im saying
great to see you back
Hope you make it to Malta for the Rolex Middle Sea Race with Balthazar
Glad you are doing well and you are back posting some videos. Love your content, expertise and authenticity 👍
Thanks for the video! So our cat has is nearing completion with a Hall carbon mast with EC3 and Synapse load cells, no mast jack though. Can't the load cells act in a manner that allows for the whole system to be properly tuned?
Hey Kirk! Exciting news about your cat. The load cells will give you information on side stays but not your diamonds. For that you need the mast jack to get the tension correct. The mast jack is also way easier to deal with than tightening up rigging screws especially on a 50fter. There's a bit more to it of course but that's the general idea
@@youngbarnaclesgotcha, thanks for the explanation & makes sense. I’ve not seen this before, I’ll ask Alex from Hall about this. Have a meeting with Doyle guys in Palma tomorrow as well…I’m guessing it’s a few months too late to have this incorporated though. Thanks for all the input, I took your advice and all the dangly bits on our build are carbon fiber 👍🏻
Great to see you guys back!
Shocking that Shane could not get on with a bunch of Frenchmen lol. Such interesting lives you lead and allways on the ragged edge! If you’d post more maybe you’d become a you tube sensation and get rich just being you! Good morning from Montana USA!
🎉
Its great to have you back! Very interesting and unique video.
Hey guys, it's great to see you back. The video was a wonderful overview of your projects. Is there any chance we could see more of the rigging modifications you completed on the two monohulls ? You make a great team.
Shanes the life of the party eh ! 😃
🤣 he sure is!
Welcome back! It's great to see you again. I knew Shane was brilliant, but dang, designing the tooling to make carbon fiber prosthetic limbs... What can't this man do? And Anna, well done! It was good seeing some of your work and creativity showing through. I can't wait for the next episode!
"It shouldn't be a guessing game". Exactly.
Team NZ!
Interesting comments re the French approach. Sean Regan at ETNZ once told me that the last IACC monohulls built for Valencia were built over male moulds and they only used 2kg of filler per hull to fair them. I thought he meant 20kg but no he actually did mean 2kg which blew my mind. No wonder the frogs coukdnt cope!
Those frogs definitely have a different approach 🤔
Great have you back in RUclips land
Good to be back!
Great to hear from you, and that you are busy with exciting projects, prosthetics, your talent and skills know no bounds!
Hey team, is it possible to use a jack mast system on a rotating mast? Cheers
Yes you sure can!
so good to see you guys back! Have to admit, glad you left the French team...don't want them being too good.... Just how does a mast jack work, is it underneath the base of the mast? I can see how that works on a mono but where do you fit it on a cat? Cheers Phil
Yes jack lifts the mast up and down and you add shims to get mast to sit at correct height. I'll try to get a video done while we have access to the gunboat
Thanks for the update. Even with some periods of excessive stress, you seem to enjoy your lives, and certainly have enough of interesting stuff happening! 30 years ago I raced in the french multihull formula classes some years, so I think I know what you mean by different cultures… Now we also live on a cat, also with ongoing projects, but less dramatic ones, located mostly in Amsterdam. Had lunch with acquaintances of yours yesterday. Sigmund and Gunnhild. Norwegians, as myself. They’re on their way south on their sporty cruiser cat.
The most technical catamaran youtube channel is back!
Why do they give the likes of Joe airtime for him to lie and spout propaganda?
Hi , may i ask , why you are not using a sand grinder? What is the reason for using the scrapper versus a grinder ? are you worried about the grinder taking off too much of the paint and the epoxy as well? Would the scrapper only remove the paint ?
I've been re-watching this series, but I can't find the info about the weight. What was the final weight of the rudder, axle and tiller arm?
Old rudder with ss stock was 30kg and new rudder with carbon stock was around 10kg.
Thank you for the reply. I did a guesstimate of the same weight, so that's great. I'm doing weight calculations for what, hopefully, could be a oceanic small cruiser in the future.
Very neat camera angle at 02:16! Fiberglassing work is looking great!
That’s not an amachur-jek , that’s a Pro-jek
Does it have a sail locker in the bow with the chain locker
No anchor locker or sail locker on this type of boat
I think the term they were looking for was.: Performance Cruiser
He didn’t call it a lonjee?? We got unies but no lonjees with all that carbin
Hi, how did you join the rope you used as hemline? Sewed together and lashed to the net? Thanks!
What you guys up to nowadays, you haven't posted a vid in ages
too busy paying for living the dream hahaha! video should be up soon
great job.
I've been a mono sailor for years but am looking at a selection of cats for my next boat. Actually this will be my first (and hopefully only) brand new boat so I'm understandably being careful and taking my time). I was always dead set against those arse-out style of helms and was looking at something with a forward pit and internal helm which obviously robs a load of space. But your very calm and laid back description of how you use them may have just sold them to me, or least made me give them more consideration. Thanks man. Ed.
Saluted you yesterday while you were entering Valencia port and checking the party going on at Veles et Vents!. That's what happens when you have a worldwide audience!
Sweet! Was it you Shayne was waving to?
@@youngbarnacles yes! Appreciated he did so!
