If you think about, what I was trying to achieve here was something that Catamaran Factories do hundreds of times with a swathe of specialised equipment. Well, I simply don't have that option and I need to get this done in record time or the whole boat wil...
7 Days before the deck is sealed down forever and we have a hundred things to do, but , the most important task is the finishing of the forward lockers. This Epic Flowcoating Session was an absolutely mean affair, fighting summer temps and lack of space we...

Tight spaces, structural bulkheads, logistical planning and help is at hand with a good mate giving up his holiday time to lay down some laminates in the stern of the Catamaran. I am continully asking myself, Do I really need to get in Where?

Are you prepared to cut into brand new Catamaran Deck to achieve the best result, well I am, and it may look like a drastic solution, but the result will be a functional, cosmetically appealing deck section that will be worth every bit of the considerable...
You could only describe this week's video as a "Monster" as the laminating and foam core of our 217 SQ Foot Catamaran Hard Top is finished and ready to be installed on our boat. The Aussie Summer Heat and humidity took it's toll on us as we smashed out our...
The third massive piece of our Catamaran gets it's shiny white Gel Coat in this week's video. The preparation alone is enough to make you weep, let alone the mess I created when servicing our Gel Coat Machine.

Progress is a combination of many jobs to build into a final result. In this case I am working on three different jobs at once to coincide them into a massive milestone. The joining of the Catamaran Deck and Hull and our Huge Catamaran Har Top. You just ha...

Building a boat can be all encompassing, and filming the process can give the viewer only pieces of the boat each week, and I admit, it can be a bit confusing.
