Liked the filming juxtaposition of Matt prepping through second oval. Clever stuff when also relating to your boy crawling, which he will do endlessly, thru both of them. Happy Holidays, and always thx for the entertainment.
I love this project. Thank you so much for choosing this path for your life. Hopefully you can monetize your talents to a level that you can continue for a very long time. You guys are very talented. I can't wait to see The Inspector in a life jacket instead of a safety vest.
You should make the cockpit hatch so it can be unlatched from inside the water-tight area as well. That would give the kids room another way to exit the boat in an emergency. It will also allow them to sneak out when they are teenagers .........
Your skills are shown very well in this video. That frame is absolutely gorgeous!! A friend of mine and I had to give up parting out a rotted 1930s Chris Craft because we couldn't figure out how to divide the most beautiful knotted steering wheel. Everything else there were 2 of. Touring naval ships is a great way to see knotted objects. I love this project.
i know you don’t want to change the rudder setup but why not add two small skegs to protect each rudder? Since Duracell will no longer be racing, the performance impact will be negligible but the safety factor will be higher, and the peace of mind, priceless
I think out of all of the materials I've watched you guys use over the hundred videos I've seen from you two, carbon fiber always seems the most satisfying to watch.
Hi. There are French guys watching this channel. I'm watching from the French Alps.Amazing task you are doing, you and family. "Voilà", that's all I can say with my limited English.
Great work! And boats are actually sinking after orca-attacks of the coast of Portugal - so it seems like a pretty smart idea to have the rudders in a water-tight compartment.
Dual rudders facilitate better tracking when the boat is heeling. There is always one rudder in the water. Not sure that is necessary on a cruising monohaul. But it's there;-)
Wow almost up to 100,000 subscribers! I really like your videos and your project. Someday I hope to see you three sail her. Let's help them get to 100K. Please subscribe. It's painless and free!
I really enjoy when there is a problem to fix and you show your tgought process, this isn't just entertaining it's educational as well, You should demonstrate why you need the door to open against the hull, I believe some people don't understand why you make that choice.
Hope you’re doing well and thanks for the interesting episode. I would have recommended you to make the hatch not hinged that way you would not need to make it smaller and you get good pressure with two handles on the inside of the door in the kids room so succeeded pressure on the gasket so as the door would not be hinged, it wouldn’t be in the way when you’re entering the room for anything that’s behind and you will definitely get more pressure as on the hinge side. You will not have the same pressure as on the side of the latches if you wanted to be 100% water.
i love the dogged door... my only concern would be accedentally bending the lower lip just enough to not seal well when needed; while doing all the future systems work. could you put a raised door stop/ latch for it in the open position? just an idea, wonderful build, enjoying the videos!
Hey, you could run into the infamous Keel and Rudder destroying Orka pods of the coasts of Western and Southern Europe. They destroyed a few vessels and sunk at least one of the coast of Portugal. So, good idea to make both this watertight bulkhead and watertight bulkhead door 👍.
Just an idea. If you can fashion a box or tube to go around the outside of the rudder post to a height above the water line, it would give you an extra layer of protection against flooding b/c the water would only flood up to the waterline and if it is only filling a small tube or box, it wouldn’t be enough weight to cause the aft end of the boat to sink. Just a thought. I love the work that you’ve been doing and your baby is SO PRECIOUS…
This is true but don't forget that the rudder needs to have a quadrant or something similar on it. And the two rudders need to be linked together with some type of mechanical linkage. I have seen race boats where all that stuff is basically on the cockpit floor which is kind of cool.
Very good safety device! Would it have been a good idea to put a small porthole in the door? Then you have the opportunity to look inside before you open the door in case of fire or leaks. Exelent work btw!!! Greetings from Norway!
@@ross82 It does swing but just 90* and he had to cut it and make it smaller to get the 90*. If he just put the hinge on to the other side he would not have had to cut it and it would have opened 180* right up against the bulkhead.
Looks like some kind of stop behind the door might be needed to prevent breaking the lower flange while the door is open and someone is squeezing through.
I like the door. Is it wide enough for a larger person to fit through? Also, will you add some reinforcing to the bulkhead which the door the si fitted into. Should the technical room flood that would be a lot of pressure on the bulkhead.
Water pressure is funny, do an image search for the temporary barriers they use to protect towns against river flooding. It’s almost bizarre how thin these barriers are, it’s like 3/8” of stainless with two modest braces to hold it up. That bulkhead is supported by the inward walls of the aft cabins, that has to be plenty.
Nice hatch you should put some more glass around the opening as well same size as The flange the carbon you inlay while a step in the right direction is not enough
A bulkhead hatch water tight in both directions would be a good safety feature: Prevent flooding of the mechanical compartment should water enter the adjacent compartment.
that wasnt a messy job i have been playing with fiberglass if i had of done it it would be messy you are a smoothy spreading that stuff you ever try decorating cakes
Matt! Excellent video as usual. I really enjoy your talent. I have been searching for the episode where you explain how you make your foam panels. I have watched it once but would like a refresher course. Can you give me an idea where I might find it? Episode number maybe? Thanks and keep episodes coming..... Jim
How you going to seal around the hinge? Why did you not put the flange on the bulkhead with an embedded o-ring for sealing and let the front of the door seal up against it and if there was any flooding it would push the door even harder against the seal .
Great job on that door and an important safety-feature! But, why aren't you constructing a waterproof tubular compartment around your ruddershafts in addition? What is the use of keeping the intruding water in case of a collision in this compartment and flood all of your life-saving equipment that will be installed in there? Just my two cents, cheers, Steffen
BTW, Would a couple of fins added to the hull before the rudders help protect them from damage, or would that strangely affect the handling of the boat? wow, I love the frame. That's some off the chart creativity.
I’m assuming he wants to put something in that area and swinging it the opposite direction would interfere. I think he thinks all these things through.
Lovely door are you going to child proof from being opened and an alarm for when the door is open Love the the picture frame hours of dedicated work involved 😊😊
To the age of 4 or 5??? I got news for you two..."breed shetlands, you get shetlands!" Ha! Unless a recessive gene has runamuck in the pool! DBL ha! Goodonyas! Entertaining as always and technically superior work!
I am no expert but I think I would consider some sort of fared in skeg in front of those rudders. I know a lot of work. But the very thought of a log / submerged container smacking into those rudders would give me sleepless nights. The Keel would take the brunt of such a collision but if it deflected onto the rudders it would be bad news.This is not the racing boat it was but I think it will still move faster through the water than the average 5 - 7 Kts of most sail boats.
To make that hatch truly water proof/sealed, why not put it on the inside then if there is a leak the pressure of the water will hold the hatch against the seal… cheers, Ray Qld Australia.
Nice job on the door. That is a gorgeous frame. As far as rudder protection… those rudder stocks are huge, and I know you’re not up for more projects, but what did you and your NA think about skegs, even smaller ones to at least help deflect debris? They might help with small logs… but not with shipping containers. I shudder when I think about all the serious junk in the ocean.
I would make the system room watertight so in case of a rudder failure all the systems will continue to work. Flooded Gen, engine etc. something I would try to avoid.
I like your clever solution for the door issue. Did you also consider keeping the door the same size but making the flange on the inside of the bulkhead instead?
Assuming that the compartment aft of the systems compartment is the most likely to be filled with water in case of rudder damage the door should open towards the aft compartment so that it better protects the system rom in case of water filling of the aft compartment.

Amazing work on the boat and picture frame
You do a great job all the time and it will pay off half way around the world when it's unexpectedly put to the test.
That’s knot a frame. That’s a work of art. ❤
The door looks great. I love the picture and frame. I also like the photo of Mike Plant cranking the winch with the world trade center behind him.
The frame is stunning! We can't wait to see it hung up!
I’m really enjoying the new music you’ve added over the video and narrative background

You clearly enjoy building, and do a thorough job at it.
Today's been a stressful day. Your video just popped up and put a smile on my face. Always a pleasure
could you have swapped the swing of the door or would it have opened into equipment?
Dog and equipment get in the way.

I would glue a lil stop to hull for that door (just before it hits the hull), or you will wear the edges out over time.

Can you imagine the time involved in making that frame! That is beautiful

Great Job on the hatch!! Great job on the videography and editing too! You guys are awesome. 😍😍
Moving along Matt. U guys stay safe and have a Merry Christmas…
Good Choice of Music this week!😎🎶
"Voilà" a great video as usual !
Hello from France 🙂
Can there be an episode about making a door-proof sink? Not even sure what that would mean, but it would go really well with this episode.
Great work on that door.
A pleasure to watch as always 🙏
Hope you’re doing well and thanks for the interesting episode. I would have recommended you to make the hatch not hinged that way you would not need to make it smaller and you get good pressure with two handles on the inside of the door in the kids room so succeeded pressure on the gasket so as the door would not be hinged, it wouldn’t be in the way when you’re entering the room for anything that’s behind and you will definitely get more pressure as on the hinge side. You will not have the same pressure as on the side of the latches if you wanted to be 100% water.
Hinges can be made irrelevant to the watertightness and safety. As long as there are latches on both sides, hinges won't be a structural component
Yes, with bearings below the water line this is a great safety project!
Are you hiding the new door for the inspector ? ;)
Thanks again

maybe!
I suggest a door stop extending out from the hull stringer to stop the door flange from contacting the hull
Why not just put the hing on the other side ?
Probably doesn’t want to fill a systems room with a swinging door, every inch counts.
If the compartment floods the water pressure will push the hatch shut and make it seal tighter!
That picture frame is awesome! Nice work on the water tight door, too! Happy Holidays! 🎄🎁🎄
@@ross82not swing in, but move the hinge to the other side?

that's the plan, yes
well done !
Two access points, thats what she said. Wow that picture frame is pectacular.
Add a third rudder! But off the bow so you can sail backwards!
that wasnt a messy job i have been playing with fiberglass if i had of done it it would be messy you are a smoothy spreading that stuff you ever try decorating cakes
That’s one well built door…hinges needs to be strong also and locking mechanism well thought out for an airtight door.
Depending on the design, hinges might not be crucial at all. Often there are locking mechanisms on both sides and hinges are there only for opening.
great episode! More progress! Looks great Duracell team! Keep rolling! Question.. Did the Inspector review the methods and materials? 👍👍🐈🐈
we're due a big inspection

That watertight door, just flip the hinges? So it opens towards the centerline?
That´s what I tought too. You coul open the door all the way if it opened the other way.
any thought to putting in another bulkhead just forward of the rudders to keep your systems dry in the event of rudder damage?
Super cool 😎
