“I learned nothing!” Made me laugh. Geez if there was a camera on all of us doing our DIY projects, I don’t think any of us would be in a position to say crap about anyone else’s work. I watch a lot of you boat builders. The complexity of even organizing the tasks looks daunting, let alone maintaining the high standard of construction and fabrication in every little job. I think your boat is going to be beautiful.
Future suggestion, people love how to videos. It would be nice if we could take this old footage and explain how to use a router, explain the fairing compound what brand what type. With each of your videos are so much to learn but if it's broken up into smaller digestible sections, I think it would benefit people from all over.
Your perseverance is amazing. This boat will be amazing when you finish it and you can spend the next 30 years + enjoying the fruits of your labors. Keep on keeping on!!!
I can hear the frustration and even though you will almost never see the inside of the drying rack, you'll still always know it's there. That being said, there's going to be like 1% of the boat that will fall in the "by then we knew/could have done better" category. So, overall I'd count that as a big win. Anyway, who wants perfection? That would be so boring! Still loving to follow the progression up here in (shouldn't be so warm and sunny right now) New England.
I can't tell you how many times I have measured, re-measured, and again measured, and still cut wrong. It's not that you screwed up, but how you make it look in the end. It's all fix-able
Ha! Everything on the plans is in mm, so I've trained myself to only think in that format and anything else is foreign... In multiples of tens (centimeters and meters)
wow I cannot imagine the amount of fairing compound and bonding adhesive you've needed for this job! " I've learned nothing! " story of our lives. hahahaha by the time you get to the end of this project then you get to be pretty dern decent at what needs to be done. I've been there more than once. It's how we all learn.
I think if you kept track of all the things that go right to all the things that don't, you'd find that you ARE getting better. The things that don't just weigh in your minds more. You guys are working on so much detail now and you're really getting there. I can't say it enough times, you guys are so dedicated and so committed. I continue to be really impressed! Keep going!
The past few weeks, I feel like I'm really getting good at applying fairing compound. It's sad that it's taken me a year to get to this point, but at least the rest of it should go smoothly.
Love watching your building vids. I am currently building a 12’ sailboat. One comment I received is that developing an unhealthy love of sanding really helps the building process. Cheers!
The important thing to remember is what is good enough and what has to be prefect. There is a difference and it looks like the both of you have been walking that line well so far.
Fast, Quality, Economical. There is a rule that you can have only 2 of the 3. You chose wisely, Quality and Economical. With those two choices, its gonna take longer, but who cares? lol. You guys rock !!
@@MJSailing You are getting Quality and Economy. Thats an awesome combo. If Vietnam would have built it, you would have gotten Quality and gotten it Fast (I assume) but it would not have been Economical.
Such attention to detail in this project. I hope to admire your work in person at some point. If you have us over for dinner, I'll do the dishes to admire the drying rack.
@@MJSailing awesome. I will probably take you up on that. I'll be making a trip to coastal NC soon. Thinking of starting a unique kind of DIY boat yard specialized in multihulls in the next few years. Would not be difficult to stop at Kent Island.
Looks like you are still making progress slowly but surely. I wouldn’t worry too much about the time, just set some achievable time constraints such as finishing the boat in conjunction with your 50th birthday. Besides what would you rather be doing: surfing down a 50 foot wave in 70 knot winds in the Southern Ocean or celebrating another completed fairing section over wine and brie in an Annapolis restaurant?
Your not building just a boat, it will be your home. The little things cost the most time. I built our home. Last 5% takes the most time. Your making lots of progress . When your out on the water it will be worth it. Have great week.
That's what we're reminding ourselves - this isn't a weekend hobby, it's our home. And if some projects take longer than we expect, but they'll turn out the way we want, that is just fine by us, haha.
That drying rack is gonna look just fine while sliding downwind on a sunny day. I never noticed how Matt’s respirator pulled away at the front to make it easier to pull off to speak, slick.
We in the peanut gallery have a opinion on the dish rack but we took a vote and decided to keep it to ourself but one of the elder got heartburn seeing that one centimeter off, the rest of us said nothing.
When I have "tight fit" holes to drill I use a "flexible shaft" attachment for my drill which starts with one of those "clip on" system for quick switch between drilling or phillips head or 1/4, 3/8, etc. Or small mm sizes. six sided hex bits. About a foot long, stainless flex outer with an internal "spring like" drive. Twists anywhere. (Mostly). Just saying. ❤
Hats off to you guys. I’m exhausted just watching! Lol. I was hoping to review the first factory 44 at the Miami show next week, but it was delayed and won’t make it. I can hardly wait to see the first 48 and 55. I think there may be something there that convinces Sylvia to do the circumnavigation with me!
We are SO excited to see the first 48 and 55 ft Max Cruise vessels!! Based on the renders, they are going to be beautiful, spacious, and well performing. 🤩
I'd be making every attempt to make things level too but it's interesting given that 99.9 percent of the time the boat will largely be unlevel on the water even in a port or marina. Thanks for the videos!
We had an issue with our last build where the boat wasn't blocked level, but we thought it was. Once put in the water, anything on the floor would roll towards the stern. 😂
You will need to put a u bent in on the drain or waste tank smells will be in the dish drying area, but a proper 90 deg drill you will need it I can guarantee
If it were me I would just do away with dishes, then the sink could go as well. Honed minimalism from backpacking: i.e. for cooking -> 1 Titanium pot, 1 titanium spork, Swiss army knife... But I can see why that makes sense to do, if you eat 2-3 times a day, dish drying takes up a lot of time, so it will probably pay for itself in the long run. Wondering if they make dish heaters for boats, I use the oven at times, keeping a meal at the right serving temperature makes such a difference.
And now that I've started watching Great British Bake Off at nights, I plan (hope) to do a lot of baking while we're cruising. So many more dishes to clean and dry, haha.
It's really coming along in leaps and bounds looking great even with Matt's little foopar lol. It'll be fine. Just some food for thought for Matt for future if you want to put in a drain of a larger diameter but have a slightly narrower spot in its travels you could just heat up the pipe with a heat gun and oval out the pipe in that area its still going to have the same volume obviously just a narrower ID which wouldn't make any difference. Just my thoughts Loving the progress
The bottom shelf won't need one because it sits below the opening, but we will be going back and placing a fiddle on the top shelf to keep things where they belong.
@@MJSailing yeah, I noticed that after you had the box installed that you only needed one fiddle. Another neat thing to have is a light that goes on when you open cabinets. I got motion lights from Homedepot that operates on two triple aaa batteries and I keep one in every closet.
We just started buying rechargeable lights with motion sensors lately. They work surprisingly long and are light weight, inexpensive, and seem well built.
@@hanssolo4ever We've been tinkering with USB charged motion lights lately. I keep one above the electric cooktop and one in the food pantry of the Viking we're currently living on. They've been very handy, and a single charge has lasted us 2 months so far!
The bottom shelf already has that lip because it's situated under the door opening, but yes, the top shelf will definitely have a fiddle to keep items from falling out.
Just curious. Have you considered adjustable shelves as are often found in kitchen cabinets? Multiple small peg holes on the sides and pegs to hold the shelves which can be moved up or down depending on current need.
We could have gone for the adjustable shelves, but they would have required additional structure/weight to make them self supporting... The foam core cant support the pins, so would have required a wood structure in all four corners. Also, the idea is to have everything contribute to rigidity of the boat. Even these small shelves add up to an impressive stiff structure in that area.
Like in college, half way through the semester, and I became bored. Most everybody won't notice what you consider a shitty job. You will see it every time you go by it and torture yourself. It's the only thing that keeps you moving forward. My wife calls my flaws parts of my defective perfection. I call every beer in the refrigerator facing in the right direction.... Life. Last month I finished getting the catamaran ready for this coming March. 400 miles away from it, and I'm already buying the new changes I want to make before leaving. April in Mexico, Baby. Better get used to always having a Wish List.
Is the corner with the drain hose for the drying rack lower than the rest, so that the water naturally goes down into that corner, and into the drain? Looking great so far.
HI guys, greatly enjoying your build videos. Quick question. In the section where you are building the holding tanks, is it the case that the holding tanks will be below the waterline. If this is the case how do you plan to discharge the contents while at sea. Are you installing a pump to do this.
I cannot imagine the amount of hours that you have to put into building this and what is the actual savings cost to do this yourself versus buying it outright? Just curious what the kit cost? And how many hundreds of thousands of hours does it take to accomplish this? I don't doubt it is going to be beautiful when you're done with it it's probably going to take you a couple of years Total if not more? Do you have an approximate estimation?
It will save about $350,000 over the production version built in Vietnam. But we aren't doing the build for the money, it's because we want to build a boat.
GUEST AREA SHELVING above sanitary Tank: Are ADJUSTABLE shelves such as used for bookcases a possibility here? This would give you and your guests ultimate flexibility.
We could have done adjustable shelves, but the idea is to have everything in this boat add to the rigidity of the structure. So by glassing them in, they not only add to the strength, but they are lighter since they don't need to have the strength to self support by a few adjustable legs.
It's standard PVC pipe - which is better than nylon used for most fittings. You can't run hard pvc all the way as it doesn't pass survey... It needs to be flexible
11min mark FILLING a decored glass with "fairing compound/add strength" haaaaaaa hahahahahahahahahahahh I have had to REMOVE compounds like this so many times from hinged edges. I've discussed before with you two. For a proper direction you want to fill a DECORED area with hull-n-deck, or handmade putty with epoxy or VE/POLY resin using cabosil, larger thickeners and "CHOP STRAND ADDITIVE" All fairing compounds are soft. They are soft for a reason, to reduce spider cracking the surface paint. FAIRING compounds do not have a structural bond, its a matter of hardness. In general fairing compounds dont even register on a barcol meter.
Most drying racks are either wood or plastic. They work just fine as long as they aren't sitting in puddled water. The wood part of ours is 2" above the water tray.
I think building your own vessel you know exactly what your getting. You are putting your life in your hands!!!!
Which is exactly why we'll spend a season in the Caribbean before crossing an ocean, haha.
@@MJSailing go for it guys.
“I learned nothing!” Made me laugh. Geez if there was a camera on all of us doing our DIY projects, I don’t think any of us would be in a position to say crap about anyone else’s work. I watch a lot of you boat builders. The complexity of even organizing the tasks looks daunting, let alone maintaining the high standard of construction and fabrication in every little job. I think your boat is going to be beautiful.
We all do it. Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an ax. It will be the best dish drainer ever.
And when we get to the stage of the wood trim and slots, we know we'll be close to hitting the water!
Good afternoon Matt and Jessica from a Sunny Southwest
Good morning from a sunny yet chilly Maryland! 😃
I love the honesty, don't be sonhar on yourselves i think this is an amazing project.
Thank you!! We're striving for as professional as we can get, but we have to remind ourselves that we still have limits.
Wish y’all were not so hard on yourselves. Some people out there that can’t spell Catimarun. I think y’all are doing a excellent job.
We're just striving to be as professional as we're capable of on this build. 🙂
The frustration was coming out in this video, I am glad you guys were able to get away for a little while though. You sound like you really needed it
Yes you learn something!!! Measure three times, cut once. Always is a lesson to learn.. looks fantástic🎉
All these pieces fitting into awkward spaces, it's quite a puzzle to put together. It all goes in once!
There's so much thought Matt puts into everything before we can even start building pieces. It's dizzying.
Future suggestion, people love how to videos. It would be nice if we could take this old footage and explain how to use a router, explain the fairing compound what brand what type. With each of your videos are so much to learn but if it's broken up into smaller digestible sections, I think it would benefit people from all over.

From what we've done to the dish drying rack up to this point, as long as it doesn't leak, that will be considered a huge win! 😃
I can't tell you how many times I have measured, re-measured, and again measured, and still cut wrong. It's not that you screwed up, but how you make it look in the end. It's all fix-able
Yes, luckily the angle for draining is where it needs to be, and the rest will be covered anyway.
It's been a little while since I watched an episode and I am impressed at the progress you have made. Nice one!
Thank you!! We're hoping to get all the fairing done in February, and then we can REALLY progress to the next stages.
That sink drain is one of those times where 'I cut it twice and it's still to short'.
I love hearing Ameicans talking in centimetres (note the spelling too)Matt. Hats off to you mate. Ross

Great to hear you have space for duffel bags for guests. When do you start taking reservations?? Enjoying the progress!
We also know that if we make room specifically for guests to store their belongings, then we won't fill it up with our own stuff!
Love watching your building vids. I am currently building a 12’ sailboat. One comment I received is that developing an unhealthy love of sanding really helps the building process. Cheers!
It's how I'm spending *my* Saturday night, haha.
I love how Matt swiched to metric :)
If you go back to the beginning of the build, he only spoke in metric, haha. That's because we were going by the builder's plans from Vietnam.
It's awesome that you can feel progress at the moment! That feeling keeps big projects moving. Keep up the great work!
Our big push for February is to get all the fairing completed. Could you imagine what that would do for us? 😃
I really enjoy the process and all the details. Thank you from Montana !
This is the reason for the saying *measure twice, cut once.* I'm sure we all learn the hard way at some point. The boat is coming together nicely.
The important thing to remember is what is good enough and what has to be prefect. There is a difference and it looks like the both of you have been walking that line well so far.
The further we get along, the more we're learning where we want to draw that line, lol.
Oh don't worry, the next time....... Cheers to you.
We'll get it right on the next boat, haha. 😉

That drying rack is gonna look just fine while sliding downwind on a sunny day. I never noticed how Matt’s respirator pulled away at the front to make it easier to pull off to speak, slick.
I think it's a premium 3m respirator.... About $5 more than a standard on Amazon. Well worth it 😜
I expect cockups every time I work on my boat. We’re only human!.
True, haha. I don't know how many times we've worked where there isn't at least a small mess up somewhere.
Great Job!!! Thank You... :-)
We in the peanut gallery have a opinion on the dish rack but we took a vote and decided to keep it to ourself but one of the elder got heartburn seeing that one centimeter off, the rest of us said nothing.
You can buy drill bits with an impact driver attachment that will work with your 90 deg adaptor. I have a set that I use all the time.
Watching Matt with the drills made me want to break something.
When I have "tight fit" holes to drill I use a "flexible shaft" attachment for my drill which starts with one of those "clip on" system for quick switch between drilling or phillips head or 1/4, 3/8, etc. Or small mm sizes. six sided hex bits. About a foot long, stainless flex outer with an internal "spring like" drive. Twists anywhere. (Mostly). Just saying. ❤
Okay y'all you did catch that right mr. Perfection gave it a close enough for government work check it out it's there
Is it possible we're getting into the "Good enough for who it's for" phase of the build? 😮 lol
Oh, I guarantee you learned plenty.
And still it looks great 👍

Beautiful work the end is near. If you guys were close by I would come and volunteer, to help speed things up on sanding.
I'd be making every attempt to make things level too but it's interesting given that 99.9 percent of the time the boat will largely be unlevel on the water even in a port or marina. Thanks for the videos!

It's a direct discharge on sink/ dish rack. No gray water tanks on most boats
It’s Education & Recreation… and sanding. Did I mention sanding? Keep up the great work.
Oh Glorious Sanding. 😃
When a man and women share the same dream there's nothing that can't be achieved .
Such an interesting point Mat. Are you tracking hours on this build? Just to see actual man hours needed for such an undertaking.
It's so hard to do, living on site. We're constantly popping in and out of the tent each day at all hours.
If it were me I would just do away with dishes, then the sink could go as well. Honed minimalism from backpacking: i.e. for cooking -> 1 Titanium pot, 1 titanium spork, Swiss army knife...

Yes, by this spring we should be on to electronics!! 😃
Put a little lip on the inside on each shelf of the medicine cabinet so when you open the doors the stuff stay in place.

@@MJSailing nice, include in your videos once you get to the point of installing and using them on your boat your experience with them.
Are you going to put a lip or edge on the medicine cabinet shelf to keep items from falling out when you open the door?
The bottom shelf already has that lip because it's situated under the door opening, but yes, the top shelf will definitely have a fiddle to keep items from falling out.
I hope Teal (S/V Basic) didn't just hear you say that he drawers don't have to be perfect. Would make his head explode.
Just curious. Have you considered adjustable shelves as are often found in kitchen cabinets? Multiple small peg holes on the sides and pegs to hold the shelves which can be moved up or down depending on current need.
We could have gone for the adjustable shelves, but they would have required additional structure/weight to make them self supporting... The foam core cant support the pins, so would have required a wood structure in all four corners. Also, the idea is to have everything contribute to rigidity of the boat. Even these small shelves add up to an impressive stiff structure in that area.
I hope you are installing a dishwasher too….😊
If we can spare the weight, it's on Matt's wish list.
You might check out Wilsonarts thinscape material. We sell it for countertops- It might be to heavy... I thought it would make great doors.
What is your projected time for the first splash? You folks are doing a great job!
Projected splash time is summer of 2024
Like in college, half way through the semester, and I became bored. Most everybody won't notice what you consider a shitty job. You will see it every time you go by it and torture yourself. It's the only thing that keeps you moving forward.

Is the corner with the drain hose for the drying rack lower than the rest, so that the water naturally goes down into that corner, and into the drain? Looking great so far.
Yes, that corner has been angled down so all the water will make its way toward the drain.

The bottom of the tank is about 12" above the waterline. The beauty of a light weight boat is little of the hull actually in the water :)
Спасибо что надели сплошной костюм👍
Honestly you guys are doing great... I wouldn't have the patience to do it.
Can you get any help?
My friend, if being off 1 Centimeter during construction of a 45 ?? foot cat I'm reasonably sure the Ocean Gods will forgive you!!
I don’t believe the the dish drying area is that bad. It could be worse like bulkhead 5 or was it 6 doorway? Anyways, it coming together nicely!
I hope you don't take what I said wrong. I would trust my work way more than others. Over build yes yes!!!!!
No, not at all! But we also know that we're amateurs and only trust ourselves so much, haha.
Does the holding tank discharge also outbords when being far off-shore ?
Yes. It's gravity discharge as it's about 12" above the waterline.
Is all of the structural work finished?
Just about. We're waiting for the compression post from the welder, and once we have that installed we can bond down the cabin top.
Just curious. Why did y'all decide not to round your coners?
Or are you guys going to round the corners around the doors and entery ways?
We'll get to that process just a little later on. Eventually we'll go back and round our corners to 5/16".
You sound just like Dan from sailing uma
Or is it Dan that sounds like Matt? 🤔😉
well it's getting there slow but sure :)
Hopefully only a few more episodes on fairing, and then we can get to electronics!! 😃
I cannot imagine the amount of hours that you have to put into building this and what is the actual savings cost to do this yourself versus buying it outright? Just curious what the kit cost? And how many hundreds of thousands of hours does it take to accomplish this? I don't doubt it is going to be beautiful when you're done with it it's probably going to take you a couple of years

We could have done adjustable shelves, but the idea is to have everything in this boat add to the rigidity of the structure. So by glassing them in, they not only add to the strength, but they are lighter since they don't need to have the strength to self support by a few adjustable legs.
Stop using dressmaking tapes for your measuring is the best way to avoid mistakes.
Impressive job , I worry your holding tank discharge is NOT ODORLESS Plumbing ??? And painting it with epoxy is still not fool proof.
It's standard PVC pipe - which is better than nylon used for most fittings. You can't run hard pvc all the way as it doesn't pass survey... It needs to be flexible
