I am going to fill you in on the constant prep and ridiculous effort of building a Catamaran on my own. I love every aspect of this project, but at times it can be a battle of will and determination when sometimes, things just have to get done.
I have f...
-Yup! Days 3 and 4 were much quicker. We managed to also take a day off and enjoy a sundowner dinghy ride. A few discoveries of what you can find in the Napa River occur and we are days away from being able to step the mast. One more episode to go before t...
Both of the forward cabin soles are now glued , filleted and tabbed in place to allow for unbridled access to bulkheads and a seriously happy end to climbing in and out of that very deep bilge.Tabbing the bulkheads is now coming to an end and the structure...
The big question on everyone's mind is ... what is it going to COST us to build this new catamaran?
Matt has spent the past few weeks talking to the designers at Schionning and Oram, as well as professional and ameture builders to gather as much informati...
This is part 1 of prepping our main mast to go up! Days 3 and 4 went much quicker, as is tradition. One mast at a time and one shroud at a time. It's been fun working away from the boat, aka keeping the mess away from home ;)
Thanks for watching!

Big week here on the Hulls as the Cabin Sole and Water Tank is "DONE". Having this floor glued down has sped the whole build up immeasurably, as the bulkheads and cabinetry can proceed without the need to climb in and out and permanent structures lock down...
Two major things before the main mast goes up: build the mast collar for the stays and make the shrouds. When we step the mast we'll need some temporary lines to hold it up. We'll hang several blocks from the mast collar to do this. Rolf is kind enough to ...

Having the Main Bulkheads installed I am now a...

The Central Bulkhead Lockdown is a major milestone in this project as everything stems from it to form the internal structure of this Catamaran. My shin cops another beating and I remove the support structures holding the hulls sides in to reveal a much e...
Sweet Ruca get's off the boat and explores one of the best sailing museums around. The Herreshoff Marine Museum offers some of the best exhibits and most interesting details in boat design and development through the years, not to mention the America's Cup...
Part 2 of the Catamaran Bulkhead Install in this issue as all goes to plan with some decent filleting and tabbing. Preparation is paramount in the correct tabbing of a main structure and the discomfort of being jammed in a open locker for a couple of days ...
Ola and Caroline have spent years circumnavigating the North Atlantic aboard their homemade Linjett 35. We meet up in Greenland for an interview (and boat tour) to hear about the experiences of this amazing boat building couple.

A very exciting day in the build our Catamaran is the Main Bulkhead Install. Dealing with extreme heatwave and humidity we installed the bulkhead, filleted and tabbed in place and gave the Catamaran a backbone.Lots of sanding, filleting, and tabbing in thi...
At long last you may say," he has finally locked down a major section of cabin sole and ready for bulkhead install". This episode is all boat building and the Bridgedeck Hatch Drainage gets done with too much time on my knees , again.
Thanks for joining ...
I rarely put a day"s work off, as the chemistry and the mental production line that can be Life On The Hulls can be pretty demanding, but when you get a chance to duck out for an amazing day of sailing on a Lagoon 440 Catamaran comes up, jump at it. A day ...
We finish up with the stanchion repair with one more day in the shop. A bunch of big packages arrive at our front door with more parts for the refit.

EP 115
We finally test our sails on a yacht we built! We were so excited to test out our Spinnaker! It was magical and we were so happy to see her rainbow colors flying. We test out our Genoa, Inner Jib and our Main as well. Think she's good to go now an...
Back into the templating phase this episode as the stern double berth takes shape and I work out how to build full size double beds into our Catamaran.
My buddy Ron visits Jervis Bay and we build two complete new hardtops for his Seawind 1160 Catamaran to...
This week our dreams come true when we add a new boat to the fleet. The February chill sends us into the heated shop to resurrect an ancient set of dinghy davits. Join us in the boatyard as we refit our aging Bristol 41.1 for more adventures.

It would've been nice to have felt a little more organized but other than that there were no complaints about the day. We are so looking forward to the next time we do this with spars up, ports in, and engine running. We nearly have all the gear/equipment ...
Big week of laminating here everyone. Batches of work are certainly the way to get ahead as I set up and lay up separate sheets to become robe and cupboard partition .
Always a big effort setting up and prepping and my resin spray system machine suffers ...
So we finally got the energy and time to compile our whole yacht rebuild of our abandoned sailboat into a meer 7 minutes.. Can you believe it.. I wish it actually just took us 7 minutes to complete this project.. 😂 The before and afters are obviously a...
As things start to get finished the weight of them is taking it's toll on me as I manually heave things into place and I find myself getting more and more careful about safety and getting things done.
Sam and I move Janet out to a unit in Sydney and I sta...
