    I remeber beeing in Australia watching the America's Cup race and my girlfriend asked a gandmother and her grandson who they were rooting for. The grandmother turned beet red and covered her grandsons ears and they left hurriedly. Then someone nearby told us what rooting meant in Australia. Ross it is 40 degrees here in Israel so I hope you can send some of that cool weather here. Have fun sailing the SeaWind on vacation.

    Great job Ross! There is nothing worse than having the sole of the boat moving under your feet. It makes the boat feel cheap. You are not going to have a cheap boat. Those steps will be rock solid! Awesome progress. Best of all you will know every nook and cranny of your boat.

    Nice and strong unit. The cat will flex on the sea's so, it is a good idea to have that large unit reinforced. Stops the crazy on the surface. Had work all the same. This will be the first floating tank....lol. The care and thought you have put into the cat will make it a one-off.

But it make so much sense to use what you have and I know that cause you told us! Sounds crazy to be so excited that some one told us the why but no one does that anymore!

    you really are an exceptional laminater - by far the best on the web. Really enjoy watching you make those corners lie flat. One question tho - are you at all concerned about the extra weight that appears to be adding up? I mean, you are going to own a floating brick, but I am sure you will like to see it move. Take care.

    If you're wondering what the word rooted means - synonym for f*ck in nearly all its senses: "I feel rooted"; "this washing machine is rooted"; "(s)he's a good root". A very useful word in fairly polite company.

    I find your videos very interesting it is always good to see the effort and the thought that goes into any project or a craft or skill. To me this applies to virtually anything even if I will never have any use for it. You do a good job of explaining your thought processes and the techniques that go into your skill before this I more or less thought well you get fibreglass you paint resin on iit and job done.
    Now I am aware that there are different types of resin 3 I think plus carbon fibre natural products etc. I know that they all have different properties though not sure what they are some are stronger and less flexible some cure faster some you need special paint or gelcoat. I know I would be interested in a breakdown of this and maybe others so just throwing an idea that maybe you could do a few in depth technical episodes as extras thrown in which would provide a basis of why you made your choices.Just an idea to improve your channel I myself would be fascinated by it but I am weird :) It would also be of interest to people who are thinking about making their own Yacht as when I looked just doing some research I was blown away by the price of fibreglass like £4 or £5 a metre! and resin was about £20 even foam core sheets were a fiver a shot. I appreciate that you are obviously in the trade and buying in bulk but not cheap and I have no idea what quantities go into a yacht. There was some surplus carbon fibre going which suddenly looked cheap at £900 for 3km! lol Probably wouldnt do 1 hull.

    Roscoe it's a bloody good thing that you answered your phone when the inspector called otherwise you might have come back to the mast sticking out the water and little more, as for that bird storing the fish 🐟 it's a good job it wasn't a heron the weight of those buggers the boat would have sunk!!!.
    I too don't like working with dust and dirt on the floors big no no but I got to ask, where was your dustmask when you was cutting the 45° off the spongboards as you and I both know that even they release spaws that sit on your lungs causing major health problems in the future , your usual ppe is fantastic but this time you was slacking and I know you were almost outside your workshop but you cannot control the wind dear boy !!. Now as for those step reinforcements let's just say , you ain't going to be creeping around on your boat as those buggers are going to be so so silent your gonna have to wear a bell around your neck 😉.
