Kit E78: Bulkheads Ready to Install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- With only a week to go before we flip the canoes, we need the final bulkhead finished and ready to install into the hulls. So, that was our focus this week, getting Big Bertha finished! So, join Admiral Marianne, Captain Blood, and our XO, Brian as we get this boat built and ready to circumnavigate planet Earth on the sailboat we built, a Schionning Designs Solitaire 1520, a fifty foot long performance/cruising catamaran.

When your first video came out, I thought to myself, who are these weirdos, and what are they doing? But as it turns out, I'm the weirdo who enjoys watching your build. Thanks for going through all of your building procedures. I find it very entertaining and informative.
We agree, we are weirdos, or at least a little insane, but I'm famous for my insane ideas. Wait until we start sailing, more insanity to follow! But we're glad you are enjoying the process of building S/V Lynx.
What a strange compliment starting out with calling them weirdos I love it 😅😂lol what a graceful response
Everyone is weird to me. If you look at me, I'm the pot.
Given you aren't allowed to put that large tent up, maybe you should develop a roof you can put over each canoe once you flip them. Just make sure to make it modular so you can add your bulkheads. Since the bulkheads would be leak points, be sure each canoe can have a sump.
We built some temporary covers, but these won't be needed for very long. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Great progress. You guys got a real workout flipping that bulkhead good luck flipping the canoes. 👍
Thanks, yeah, it was a bit heavy for two, but we got Bertha finished!
Thank you for curing me of any desire to build a boat! Now I can move on with my life.....
lol, it's a lot of work! But, it is the path to our goal and will, eventually, be over :)
The bulkhead is absolutely massive and certainly shows the size of the project another great video from sv lynx I love your videos you 2 are absolutely amazing people keep up the beautiful work and videos
Yeah Big Bertha gives the boat some scope. Thanks for the nice comment
Solid!
Thanks
With all this prep work , I assume this is going to start to look like a catamaran very soon 😃🍻
That's the plan... in fact, I'm headed for the lot this morning to flip the hulls over (you'll see that in next week's video).
Fantastic really taking shape well done.
She is starting to take shape.
400 lbs, that was a surprise.
It was a guess. When Brian and I had it standing up, we tried to lift it and could just get it off the ground. I know I can lift 200 pounds so that had to be close. With two of us trying, that's 400 pounds, or thereabouts.
Looks like a fiberglas cutting tool is in order.
Like what?
Well done so far will the bulk head fit ?. I would have fitted the bulk head first then added the extra layers of fibreglass strengtheners. A shed with a level floor would have made the job a lot easier. Anyway keep the good work.
She will fit just fine :)
What’s a rough cost for the hull?
I don't really know. Since the parts for the canoes all came as part of the larger catamaran kit, I don't really have a cost breakdown for one hull.
Is the plan to glue the cabin top in or just temporarily attach it? Id imagine it would difficult getting the cabin top and bulk heads all in place on layout without a sole to walk around on. Going to have to borrow a lot of ladders.
Thd cabin top will be raised on extensions, not glassed in yet. We will finish the interior walls before that happens.
Great progress and fantastic work rate. Just a comment about the rudder stock and the rudder tube. If I understand you correctly you are intending to manufacture your own rudder tube. Why do you not just buy a GRP tube in and then modify it to your needs (more external wraps of GRP to increase wall thickness to requirement) and you are going to have to do the housing to hull structural webs anyway. Certainly in U.K. GRP tubing is small beer probably around $60 per metre.
We aren't building our own rudder tubes, just a tube that holds two bushings that hold the aluminum rudder tubes. These tubes we make have to be a specific diameter for the bushings.
@@SailingSVLynx Yet here I am watching the first section of Episode 6 where you repeatedly say you are building rudder tubes.🤣
@@normanboyes4983 Yeah, tubes that hold the rudder bearings would have been far more accurate.
What happen to the canopy to keep you out of the rain and sun.
You can watch that here...

hello...I just met you......I really liked it...I wish you much success in your lives....do you sell catamaran projects? I want to build a 40 foot one.....thanks
We can hook you up with a kit to build a cat that size. Contact me through our website, www.svlynx.com and I'll go over your options.
First one on. Hi there !
Yep, hope you enjoyed the video!
Now you know why they're called [Bulk]heads.
(laugh) No doubt! But, soon they will be in the boat!
I am rapidly catching up on the vids! Your comments about the rudder hardware spares does reveal a downside to building your own boat. Things like the rudders or dagger boards are difficult to replace without building your own. Not an attractive prospect in the middle of a voyage.
Well, think about this... if we purchased an HH, those curved carbon fiber daggerboards must cost 20k or more, then they have to be shipped to your location, with import duties and taxes, not to mention the ridiculous size of those things! It would be much cheaper just to hire a local builder to make us a new daggerboard or rudder for our boat out are just foam and glass. The shaft of the rudder is the harder to make part, which is why we are bringing a spare with us. The daggerboards are simple enough to make.
