A month on from the launch and I still cannot believe that we were able to pull this project off. Years of itching, grinding, sanding, lifting, organising and spraying and now we are sitting pretty in the water, taking the time to breathe and recognise our...
We simply forgot to christen our "New Catamaran" on launch day with everything going on but she now finally has her name and we love it. Back to some serious boat work and making her complete is in our future.

In the 2 weeks after launch we discovered leaks in a number of deck fittings and portlights, due to the mad rush and the race to get these sealed up was on before the next downpour. The reality and comedown hit hard as we settled into a very different "Li...
It's one thing to Launch a DIY Catamaran, it's another thing driving our Catamaran for the very first time. I have my in trepidations, but it felt So good. Another massive milestone in our "Life On The Hulls".

The day has finally come. The epic launch day of our own 42foot Catamaran built from Scratch.
Emotion, stress, and the logistics of launching this Catamaran took even me by surprise. Join us on site for the massive event that changed our lives forever.

Looking back at he countdown here s an element of anxiety that builds every time I think about what had to be done t get this thing to the water. With 48 HOURS till launch, the toll it has taken was considerable , the effort required monumental, how do you...
How do you cope with the culmination of a 7 year Catamaran Build ?
Put a "time limit" on it and count the hours till the boat transport arrives , that's how. 72 Hours out, the whole place is chaos.

Jump on board to see what possibly has been the most stressful couple of weeks in my working career. It seems that every part of my working life has been a big project with big consequences, but somehow this Catamaran Build is different, this boat is solel...
How do you prioritise the massive list of tasks before the launch of a 7 year project. Well, a boat is not a boat without waterproof windows and hatches. This build is on a different level to a kit build, a rebuild, it is the biggest passion project and it...
The list of jobs is endless, but to launch our Catamaran there are 2 tasks that cant be ignored, Rudders and Thru Hulls, without them there is no launch day.

With just 18 Days till the launch of our Dream Custom Catamaran that we have spent the last 7 years building, the list is endless and the pace of getting tasks done, immediately jumps up a notch, if that were even possible. Boat building is about doing as...
I could never have imagined what having a deadline would mean to me and so many people around me. The family and some friends , have come to the rescue seeing that perhaps our "LAUNCH DATE", may have been just a few months premature, hold on tight, as I tr...
With only 26 days to go, the date is set, the whole things comes down to these last few weeks, will we be ready? I say Yes! , but there are a million things to action to get this tub on the water.

The transom structure of this catamaran is one of the most critical parts of boat. It is common to see stress cracking in this region and I have built our boat to ensure it's integrity is sound. Actually getting to the bolts has proved to be a major issue ...
As we prepare for the launch of our 7 Year Build 42 foot Custom Catamaran things can get a bit testy. Overwhelming stress, and a feeling of frustration boils over occasionally and we wonder what the hell were we thinking thinking that we could ever have bu...
This could possibly be the most important milestone for years as I set about finishing the Gel Coat Spraying on our highly Customised catamaran Build. There is s lot at stake her, get it right and we are done with the outside cosmetic work.

Losing sleep over the ridiculous task I had set for us , Janet cruises in with a project spreadsheet designed to lessen the mind traffic, does it help, perhaps so, but is the workload any smaller as a result, not likely, to launch this beast is going to ta...
I have put it off long enough. The Galley and Heads Benchtops need attention and although they look great, but the mess and the clean up was something else. Making a massive mistake takes a day to recover from and I have only lost my cool a few times dur...
Talking milestones here everyone, I have officially completed my last modification, I will admit it, it is addictive, changing the design but the final result is so good it is not even worth deliberating over. The Raised Helm Hard Top is the ultimate addit...
Who's crazy idea was it to set a launch date. Then work required to launch a massive project like this 12.7mtr Catamaran built from scratch was epic, we were on a mission, the tasks became endless and the Myriad of Boat Building Jobs kept coming hard and f...
When you are imagining a Catamaran together it is vital to make every part count, the overall function and cosmetics are every bit as important as the project itself. The final major part of the boat is nearing completion and almost ready to instal, so muc...
The preparation is never ending, the scale of work is just crazy and I think as of today I am missing something, biggest news ever, loads of boat building coming up to get her ready for the water.
We have invested thousands of hours into our build and eq...
