I have not been on a sailboat and most likely never will, but I have found this series of build videos fascinating. Your enthusiasm is contagious Nick.
Marine carpentry at this level is one of the most noticeable things in a well found yacht. It's an art form and everyone involved in the process has my respect. So beautiful!
Only thing wrong is that I want even more nerd detail! Like what kind of joinery used to assemble cabinetry? Dowels? Biscuits? Screws? What kind of jigs do they use for assembly and hardware install? What kind of joints are they using on the drawers? How are they leveling the cabinetry when installing? How are the shelves fastened in the cabinets? Exactly which drawer is going to hold Nick’s nickers and how many will fit while maintaining structural integrity? These are the questions that keep me awake at night. I’m addicted to RR and I need more nerd answers.
Being a retired cabinet maker I found this video very interesting. What was amazing to me was the use of foam or cardboard core to keep the weight down. This type of construction is very structurally strong and will keep the weight down. If they built the cabinets with solid hard wood your boat would sit lower in the water because of the weight of solid hardwood. So many innovative ideas,I love watching this build. Say HI to your pretty wife and stay safe and healthy.
Boat construction from the hull and deck to all the finishing have to be designed in steps so everything works together, especially on a catamaran were you have 2 hulls working against each other, and a deck and salon trying to keep everything from being ripped apart. This builder has been at it for a long time and obviously knows how to turn out the best possible boat using basic resin and glass. I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase.
VERY interesting -- Thanks to the boat builders for allowing us into their workshops to see what they do - - - so much more work and skill / technology than your realise to get these beautiful yachts onto the water . Strong , beautiful to look at , safe and sound to do Blue water crossings for years to come . Loving it - - - ! ! ! !
congrats to the manufacturing team for giving you such access - nothing is being left to chance - structural integrity and weight saving a difficult set of constraints in any situation. Wells done
Wow Very interesting to see how things are actually produced and fit together to make the different parts of your boat. Thank YOU so much for sharing. OH and Hello again from south central Thailand.
I have seen one too many 'in-depth build process' vids. not going to whinge (too much) or unsub and be dramatic, but for the love of Pete. Tour around Vietnam more or something or 25 minutes less Nick...Anything!
I love these looks inside the design and production of the boat. It would be great if someday you visited the hardware and electronics manufacturers to see how they are designed and made.
This was a very interesting episode! Woodworking is charming, it is tangible, and Seawind's efforts are very detailed and thorough. I think this episode had done more for Seawind than the previous ones, with the possible exception of the future engine installation. Very nice!
My hobby is woodworking, so I found it interesting. Like you, I thought it was a HUGE deal seeing that tiny dent with the chalk circle around it. If they have that sort of attention to detail, then I would be very impressed with their work ethic.
It's obvious that Seawind are keen for you to do the work you are videoing the build and all the activities related to it. Smart move on their part, because if I were buying a catamaran (which I won't be) I would be much more inclined to go with a company like Seawind than one like (name your brand here) who protect their processes as black art which no one can know about because everything is treated as proprietory secrets. And with good reason, perhaps, looking at the problems Lagoon have had with the 450 bulkheads! Another great video, Nick. Keep 'em coming!
I use to build cabinets and furniture. It was fun to go from raw lumber to finished product. I never worked with foam or honey comb but it seems easy enough.
Great video, as usual, and very cool that Seawind is letting you all do this. Obviously no OSHA in Vietnam - wish those folks were wearing hearing protection in those loud shops. I SAID, I WISH THOSE FOLKS WERE WEARING HEARING PROTECTION IN THOSE LOUD SHOPS!
This is the closest I will ever get to having a boat built, so for me, this is super exciting and a learning experience. Not just that they do it. But, the how and why they do it that way. Fantastic! BTW Corsaire Marine: are they the creators in Vietnam? The women and men seem so dedicated to their tasks. Happy Trails
As a Vietnam veteran, I am amazed to see the standards of workmanship, a lot has changed hopefully for the better although I suspect the standard of living has not improved significantly looking very much forward to the day they "float your boat"
Nick, I’m very disappointed in you...this is not nerdy enough! We want more!! Maybe you can start another channel for all the “Nick’s Ultra-nerds”. 🤣 This content is very fascinating and I would love more in depth look at the details. I’m sure you are constrained in what you can show due to Seawind protecting trade secrets. This is THE best advertising they can ever do for their boats! If I am ever in the market for a cat, they are the first I will look at.
Thanks for sharing, these videos continue to be enjoyable and informative. Having previously owned a Seawind 1000 cat. I’m so impressed on how their product has developed and matured. You are going to have one hell of a boat guys! I can’t wait to see her on the water. It’s the 3rd of May as I watched this. Roughly when would you have filmed this re timing?
It depends on the damage. Small ding can be fixed with heat. Large ding needs laminate floor repair wax kit in many shades. Delamination needs heat. Spent 7 years repairing the veneer on Ruby rose. I’m an old hand at repairing
Very interesting, in spite of my thinking the entire time, My God, how much do these RUclipsrs make? This is light years from fixing up a scrapped boat over time, something more along the lines I can relate to. As they say in Australia, good on ya, mate. In dental terms that boat under construction would cost many thousands of filled cavities. Never saw Terysa, the pretty better half in this one, but the terms "CNC" and "joinery" made up for it.
I (Terysa) was very much there in spirit as I was behind the camera the entire time and I’ve edited the video. I might not be in front of the camera much at the moment but I’m definitely still “here” 😊
@@sailingrubyrose Oh, sorry, no need to explain. It's so good of you to answer my speed note that had a trace of too much snark. Bless you, Terysa. Awesome you replied. Fair winds to you and yours. ⚓
Great Video. Please keep them coming! I have a renewed respect for the cabinet makers there. I'm waiting for finances to come through and I will be ordering a 1600 (and I know, probably waiting for years to take delivery). I was looking to request all foam filled fiberglass cabinetry (long lasting and easy to repair). This is making me rethink that request. This woodwork looks lighter and still strong, plus wood cabinetry will look much better than gelcoat (or flowcoat if not using a mold). Very interesting and thanks for the deeper insight - much appreciated.
I’d honestly let them build it the same way they build everything else- they’ve been building catamarans for 30 years and every choice they make is for a good reason. I’m also not sure they’d agree to change the cabinetry to all fibreglass as that would no doubt increase the build time and they do need to stick to a schedule. As you rightly say, the look of the timber is far nicer than all fibreglass anyway. But either way, the 1600 is a magnificent boat!
Fascinating look at the factory and they all amazingly skilled individuals. I am surprised they let you see in to the factory, i would have thought they would be concerned about trade secrets? I guess these days it is common knowledge in the industry? I am excited to see the boat finished.
Very awesome to see a Sweet Kat being Built. Nick I know you don’t need this Yet , but as much as this Kat Cost you will love a Carbon Fiber Mast. Maybe a Carbon fiber Mast Company will Sponsor Your to advertise for there Mast Company. Worth a Shot. She be a rocket 🚀 with more light weight Carbon Fiber on her. Could look at Carbon fiber rigging to. Hell that a great way to sponsor there Material. Thanks for the Video again
Hi! We are getting ready to move aboard and wondered what you keep as a medical kit. Do you have a list of what you keep in your medical kit? Does it include antibiotics and painkillers? Do you worry about bringing pain meds into certain countries?
A look into how fire suppression affects design and materials would be interesting to learn more about. Will you add more devices to the boat than stock?
I’m enjoying your build but I’m concerned with the amount of foam and plastics being used sandwiched inside the paneling. All this with fibreglass would be a nightmare if there was ever a fire onboard. Could you ask if there is a fire retardant added/ sprayed on to the foam and plastics. Keep up the enthusiasm and good luck.
I had a real problem with the audio portion. Seems like some times audio in one ear and then in both ears. Can you please explain this as it is very hard to focus especially for us hard of hearing folks with hearing aids.
This video is proof for something Elon Musk said: Prototypes are easy, production is hard. Just about everyone who hasn't seen this video thinks that it's "just" wood furniture, and no big deal. :-)

Thanks for sharing all these elements. Tell those workers thank you for us all.

It’s more and more obvious why new boats are not given away for free… So much work, so much thinking. Great video!

Hell! This series is beyound EPIC! Thanks RR!! Be happy, be safe
Hello great video even better to see so many female carpenters and their work
Thanks Nick. Love the series. Something to look back on. Thats for Sure.
Really appreciate the level of detail you both bring to every episode. Excellent camera work. It's going to be a magnificent yacht.
Thanks Gregg.
So interesting. I like to see quality materials being used by quality people. Thanks for this.
You’re welcome Trish!
Very interesting. Excellent quality, but light weight. Impressive. I understand why you get so enthusiastic Nick.
I'm designing my own furniture for a floating fish farm and this is so useful! Thanks!
Love it. Keep the nerd stuff flowing
Oh we will!
Great to learn how boat cabinetry is put together. Thanks!
Wow Very interesting to see how things are actually produced and fit together to make the different parts of your boat. Thank YOU so much for sharing. OH and Hello again from south central Thailand.
Thinking and hoping your new boat will be exquisite. I suspect it will be greater than the sum of its parts, which are pretty amazing !
Detailed and interesting, thanks for giving us the chance to look this in-depth at the build process.
Thanks mate, glad you liked it
I have seen one too many 'in-depth build process' vids. not going to whinge (too much) or unsub and be dramatic, but for the love of Pete. Tour around Vietnam more or something or 25 minutes less Nick...Anything!
you are doing your best to change my mind into buying a seawind yabadaba doo
😉
been there done that , got the t-shirt
Flip mate your home is going to look so good. I'm proper looking forward to seeing the finished product. Great job 👌

Most interesting of the build for me. Thanks
Thanks mate!
Thanks for that, it is interesting. This works great for you, for us and for SeaWind also!
Your the best salesman they have ever had
Awesome
Give us more in depth please, thoroughly interesting!
Thanks Skippie
My hobby is woodworking, so I found it interesting. Like you, I thought it was a HUGE deal seeing that tiny dent with the chalk circle around it. If they have that sort of attention to detail, then I would be very impressed with their work ethic.
We were pretty happy they identified that tiny nick in the laminate.
FLIPPIN COOL!!!!!! I LOVE that Kind of Work...makes Me MISS Making Cultured Marble Bath tubs and Kitchen Counters
🙏
Going to be a beautiful boat !!
Fair winds ⛵️
🙏
thanks great view into how its done! hugs to you all from Canada, where its starting to warm up finally.
How about this, you make my Sunday evening👍🌴😊
🙏
@@sailingrubyrose The Vietnamese craftsmanship is top-notch, love your videos, before and after week by week seeing RR come to life👍🌴
Nice that was interesting. Keep it as light as possible.
A bit nerdy Nick, but like you I think this stuff is hugely important. Nice to see the attention to detail!
Foam filled doors are impressive, I didn't know that was a thing.
I think it's definitely best practice on a performance-based catamaran
Awesome skills and construction from Seawind. Definitely moved way up my list.
keep up the good walk through RR2 crew great stuff from you and Seawind teams.
Very fun to see the details
Glad you’re enjoying these videos mate
That was really good - gives me a moment to appreciate the effort and design that goes into forming the end product. Respect ✊
Love seeing the detail workings you are shooting. Keep it up.
OMG the dentist who would be KING 😂😂😂😂
😆

Seawind 1370 from 759,000 USD Thank you Patreon's !!!!
Fascinating. As a past production manager all I thought about was month end WIP counts. He earns a beer every month end.
I use to build cabinets and furniture. It was fun to go from raw lumber to finished product. I never worked with foam or honey comb but it seems easy enough.
Amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Totally fascinating. I love the concerted effort to be great.
This is the closest I will ever get to having a boat built, so for me, this is super exciting and a learning experience. Not just that they do it. But, the how and why they do it that way. Fantastic! BTW Corsaire Marine: are they the creators in Vietnam? The women and men seem so dedicated to their tasks. Happy Trails
Seawind bought Corsair several years ago so they’re now part of the same company but two separate brands (Corsair make trimarans)
@@sailingrubyrose Are they any relation to Corsair Jets?
@@sailingrubyrose Thanks.
As a Vietnam veteran, I am amazed to see the standards of workmanship, a lot has changed hopefully for the better although I suspect the standard of living has not improved significantly looking very much forward to the day they "float your boat"
I enjoyed this episode. These techniques can be applied to the RV/caravan world.

Wow... a very interesting video!
I'm getting excited for you both mate.
🙏
Very interesting. Thank you!
Interesting thanks.
🙏
Interesting 👍
Quality and build design is a big step up from the French boats, smart choice guys.
Thanks mate
FYI: RENDER is a/the verb...RENDERING is a/the noun.
Home run after home run! I am a carpenter and this episode couldn’t have been better!💥💥
Great construction background. Internals can make or break the weight issue... I love wood, it's almost alive...
It’s going to be very beautiful

Hey Nick, how do you fix that veneer if you get damage down the track ?? 👍🇦🇺🇳🇿
It depends on the damage.
Small ding can be fixed with heat.
Large ding needs laminate floor repair wax kit in many shades.
Delamination needs heat.

SO after all is finished and in the water, were will you be going ? Think this is the first channel showing behind the process of building a dream ~
Where will we go? Well that’s the big question 😉 All to be revealed soon!

Cheers mate, we're sticking with an aluminium mast but getting a carbon coachroof, bowsprit and a few other bits.
@@sailingrubyrose take Care and be safe 👍🏻
Can we just get to the sea trials! Lol 😂 Jk but I can’t wait to see this gorgeous Catamaran.
lol, we feel the same way. Cannot WAIT to get on the water and test this boat out!
Do you guys have an ETA for when it will be ready? Excited to see it on the water!
We do. But we’re keeping it to ourselves until closer to the time just in case it works out differently 😊
@@sailingrubyrose Makes sense. I'll be watching! Loving seeing the progress so far
Takes me back to working on private aircraft completions
What are the trimarans under construction at 4:27?
How is it protected from moisture? veneer is hard to repair.
Is the weight balanced across both hulls? It seems like a three cabin layout would unbalance the two hulls.
what honeycomb material do they use? im actually going to use Nomex honeycomb for a boat project, thats why im curious about that
I’m not sure what the material is actually called sorry.
Hi! We are getting ready to move aboard and wondered what you keep as a medical kit. Do you have a list of what you keep in your medical kit? Does it include antibiotics and painkillers? Do you worry about bringing pain meds into certain countries?
incredible much work...700 k is not so much price for this all quality
🍺👍😎🇺🇸🦅
Really interesting stuff! Is the PET(?) filling more fire retardant too? Exciting to see things beginning to look more like the finished product!
I'm actually not sure about that- I'll find out!
A look into how fire suppression affects design and materials would be interesting to learn more about. Will you add more devices to the boat than stock?
