Looks like you are making great progress, Perry! You'll have a hull, ready to splash in no time! It's good to see you've put your little "crumb pirate" to work in the shop. By the time the hull is finished, you can award her a meritorious promotion to "Swab." 😁
I left a link in my comment so it probably got caught as spam. Good progress. I'm going to be using similar threaded inserts to allow be to bolt down the watertight lid of my battery compartment, my built in watertanks and the tops of my watertight crash bulkheads. I've found some in the UK that are not open at the bottom so make it simpler to avoid epoxy blocking the thread. As mine are into solid wood I will actually use the thread to screw them into a smaller hole with just a dab of epoxy to seal them in.
I finally received my carbon core shipment and started my build. It is super helpful with you being just a few months ahead of me! Your simple solutions to the hatches have me thinking I've over engineered my own.
Just remember to have some tension/stiffness in moving the latches, you dont want them so loose that they will open when you have your first roll-over.
Nice simple robust design for holding the cabin sole. Perhaps something like a fibre washer under the locking tab would allow it to be tightened down but still allow the tab to turn with some effort?
Great video, cpt! Now would be a good time to give a think about how you are running you wires out of the batt box (although I'm guessing you're posting old vids and your build is actually far more progressed now). It's really irritating to try and cut holes to run wires in awkward and confined spaces.
@@Garryck-1 never know. It's not unusual for people to bend time on RUclips build videos. It's a "pro play" to set up a timeline 🤷. i.e. build started in March, RUclipsr says the dates on video taken on March 1st as "here it is, starting the build on April 5th". Uploading the video taken on March 1st, on April 5th. This gives the RUclipsr a month of videos that are ready to upload. Takes the pressure off of needing to keep up with upload days. Wave Rover does this. Go visit his channel, and the most recent video, isn't the current progress. He even makes a joke about it in one of his vids.
I wish that were true, but I'm not productive enough to get the videos far ahead of the work. This was filmed over the last 7 days. I think there's no rush to drill holes for wires. There's a good amount of space in the compartments under the cabin sole for a drill, and they won't be covered up any time soon.
Speaking of Yrvind, how is your foam so thin compared to his? Arent you a bit concerned that he is using like 3 in thick stuff where yours looks less than an inch? Anyway, very interesting to follow your progress. All the best!
No, not at all. Mine is more the norm, his is unusually thick. It gives his boat great strength and insulation, so I have nothing bad to say about it. But foam that thick is out of my price range. I think he said his supplier was able to deliver that thickness the fastest, so he took it so that he could quickly get started on the build.
Looking good, Captain! Especially like that simple hatch design. I also noticed your production quality overall was quite good with this video -- clean video cuts, sensible transitions, good use of music while never drowning out the voice. So that's looking good, too! Who's the shop inspector? 👍️
There's no pressure on them that would make them back out. I can just tighten them with my fingers. If needed, some blue loctite would keep them in place.
I'm no expert, but double enders are pretty and the shape helps to divert waves hitting the boat from the stern. Disadvantage is reduced interior space. Deep draft is good for directional stability and righting, but the wetted surface is increased so you get more drag. I'm not sure what your last question means, there are many deep draft monohull designs.
@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat thank you so much. the last question is about deep vee shape hull, a boot like a narrow vee some time thay use in catamaran. i am looking to get information about a monohull sailboat that the shape pf the hull simply is a vee . i cant find any information about it.
@Mh Sn I know a V shape makes the boat sit lower in the water, so more wetted surface and more drag. Look at modern cat hulls, they have a bit of a flat bottom, whereas the designs from the 60's are a sharp deep V. If you are really interested, I'd recommend getting a book on hull design.
Have you ever contacted Jamestown Distributors. In Bristol RI. They are very helpful with boat building you tubers. They distribute the Total Boat line of epoxies and other boat building products. You should give a call. Ask for Kristian Brown. I have some sailboat blocks and some sailing instruments I would be willing to donate if you pay for shipping. If interested let me know some of your needs . NE Martin
Thanks NE Martin. I will need some blocks for the mainsheet and for routing lines from the inner tiller to the main bulkhead. You can e-mail me with the e-mail at the bottom of the description.
Your helper is adorable. I remember when my daughter was that little. Made me smile.
Happy to hear Holman is back. !
Keeping things simple is best. Keep up the good work.
Yrvind has spoken! I would also do whatever he told me. 💪👍☕️
Thanks for coming over, and bringing coffee!
The construction resembles a process of Naval ship building. I like it.
You mention maybe a lead pour- if you need assistance in doing, I can help. Local to SD.
Absolutely I would love some help with that part. My email is toward the bottom of the description if you'd email me. That would be great.
Thank you again Cpt. Perry for the newest video. Have a good evening.
I learned something and was entertained.
Thanks
Jimguy78 is one lucky guy! Congratulations 👏
I hope he sees this. Haven't heard from him yet.
You need more subscribers. This minicruiser is amazing.
Thank you, sir! The subscriber count is steadily growing.

Beautiful job on the hatches, likewise on doing away with the need for hinges, screws and screw holes for the hatch covers.
So glad you did not use plywood although I can understand why you would like to do that. Best of luck you're doing a great job .
5:38 you took the words right out of my brain! 🤣
Haha!
Oh darn, I so wanted the drawing. Well heck.
I'll e-mail you, maybe I can do up an extra one for you.
Fascinating.
Excellent.
Very entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed.

I went for a bigger hole, not wanting any water to be able to travel down the threads and into wood.
👍
loving the hachs, Such a simple and reliable design
Thanks, that's what I'm always shooting for.
Well done.
I finally received my carbon core shipment and started my build. It is super helpful with you being just a few months ahead of me! Your simple solutions to the hatches have me thinking I've over engineered my own.
Great to hear! Yes, I try to shoot for design that's very simple and strong, hoping to move quickly toward being in the water.
I need to measure out some small amounts of epoxy too, but it hadn't occurred to me to use a kitchen scale. Thanks for the idea!
Yep, helps cut down on wasted epoxy.
Epoxy is an addictive drug if you love sailing. :)
Just remember to have some tension/stiffness in moving the latches, you dont want them so loose that they will open when you have your first roll-over.
Will do 👍
You finally got some help in the shop. I hope she works out for you.
Nice simple robust design for holding the cabin sole. Perhaps something like a fibre washer under the locking tab would allow it to be tightened down but still allow the tab to turn with some effort?
Good idea, like a felt washer or something
Great video, cpt!

No, these are not "old vids".. Perry mentioned the date at the start of the video. It was recorded just 3 days before uploading.

Thank you sir, I thought I did a bit better editing this one too. My little one likes to hang around the shop.
Algorithm Booster! ⛵
Thanks JAFO
Nice I see you did the hatches in pvc :)
Yes, a bit extra work up front, but hopefully worth it.
Probably a dumb question, but how do you keep the screws holding the latches from backing out?
There's no pressure on them that would make them back out. I can just tighten them with my fingers. If needed, some blue loctite would keep them in place.
A prospector uses a scale like that also.
Yes, and chefs and scientists as well I'm sure.
Just curious capt. Perry are you keeping tabs on your hours.
Great work thus far!
Thanks. No, haven't bothered with the hours.
what are the down side and advantages to have double ended deep vee monohull sailboat?
why there is no deep vee saling monohull
I think you need to research this online and you can get a lot of info about it. It's too much for me to put in a comment.
@@ocean_capable_small_sailboat i did a lot of search online but i could not find any thing,

Don’t be selling that epoxy on the streets there CPT perry.
Pssst, I got 6 ounces right here pal. :D
