Go plucky go!

[@suburban91]

Lots of good ppl

[@paultorgerson6909]

This early in the project. And they’re making vast improvement by laser cutting

[@dennisgabriel9641]

It's taken shape and looking like a boat.

[@melinda5777]

This is going faster and more efficient than I dreamed it would! Thanks Cap'n Plukky for waiting to build this with true professionals and not a rag tag team under a hut! You Amaze me, truly! Mr Sparkling Green eyes! 😊 🙏❤🇸🇭⛵👣🤗🧜‍♂️🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

[@francismoore4976]

Hi, one thing for sure you will be ready for the challenge in 2024. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU, success will be at your door, just grab it!!!!!

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Knowing the capacity of your employees is key. Building to International Standards is paramount. ISO 💪

[@jackk7030]

Looking Good 👍👍👍👍 Pete 💪💪💪💪

[@wavehunta]

No doubt substantial discounts for the advertising

[@dennisreeves632]

Man! I saw some beautiful welds.

[@dgrant2467]

Happy New Year, Plukky! The workers' progress is remarkable! You found the place to get a catamaran built!

[@stevencohen4580]

Hi PETER I have been in a few factories non kept cleaner and tidier after the amount of work already done on your boat.👌

[@user-fd4pt5nb3v]

One of the teams assembled I've seen in long time u you just built a brand my hat's off to you Jeff the Navy vet

[@seawench555]

Plukky, I'll say this mate, if there's a man who can read the Sea, her moods, her attitudes and Sail on her with Skill and do it all safely and with Courage it's You!!! I'm So stoked this Vessel will be yours, once u and her have bonded with Spirit, the Adventures, fun and I'm sure hair raising moments will be Epic. I can't bloody wait. Good on ya Aussie🇦🇺😲🌊

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

I know a little bit... that is all... getting better tho

[@seawench555]

@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM yeah mate, we know better!!! 🤘hava bloody Awesome New Year ok. 🇦🇺😲

[@jordantobins681]

Can you imagine what an amazing video it will be when all the timelapse build videos are all put together? This is awesome!

[@traceysmallwood7489]

Wow coming together fast

[@chevywv9735]

Peter I’m so glad to see the progress they have made on your new boat good for you I’m glad you’re off the old boat now you can cruise in style ❤❤

[@user-ne7ch8do4v]

❤. You and the new boat are Amazing !

[@HoytFergus]

Awesome bro. Seeing it as they build it is amazing. They are so Precise and Fast wow ~ America could take lessons from these men! 😄👍

[@grahamsengineering.2532]

Having lived and worked in Indonesia it still amazes me that the Asian culture prefer to work on the floor instead of a work bench, but then why not if you have a clean flat floor. Looking great Plukky.

[@jdarrellsteele3264]

These guys are doing a terrific job! Keep up the great filming and documenting please!

[@pemman]

Truckin' along Plukky. 😊

[@ASDPOWER]

You got the A team Pluckster!!! Built with LOve!!!!!!!

[@wangofree]

It would be nice to offer a leg of the journey to those who submitted videos for winning you old boat but lost.

[@user-ue3ol2ie8x]

Well done on getting to this point Plucky

[@webheadusa9377]

This build is another paragraph in your resume'. Being at the build site, knowing the engineers, seeing the fabrication crew as they work, and knowing and understanding the plans - they may offer you a job (which you will decline as you are a sailor)! Ruby Rose published weekly videos of their boat build, but nothing as detailed as you are showing. Gee, I love the crackling of welding in the morning! Working for a metal fab company and able to get out of the office area and walk the shop floor to see how our products were made was a great benefit when I was out across the country with our sales reps to provide product details to those that we sold our product. Can't wait to see more. Not sure if you will be celebration New Year's - Nam has TET, but be careful out there. :¬) Webhead USA

[@leadreviewer3257]

Happy New Year wishing you all the best The boat's going to be awesome

[@fatasford]

They’re getting er done good show Plucky

[@stephenmason8172]

VERY IMPRESSIVE COMMENT. HAPPY NEW YEAR PLUKKY

[@kolingro3776]

Seriously Impressed

[@mrekin2146]

Do alli cats use any ballast in the hulls ?

[@rikardfriberg9529]

I'm very impressed about vietnamese quality standards after watching your videos. I live in northern Europe and we have a rumor of a renomated quality standard, wich I still believe. But after seeing how your boat is build I start to question that a bit. We have a lot to learn from these guys. Maybe not down on the floor, but on the administration level. The workers are served with beautiful drawings and instructions of how they should do their job. Every workers dream.

[@ozolli]

I don't know where you live, but having worked myself with french aluminium shipyards for 35 years I can say that these guys don't impress me.

[@AZAce1064]

Looking sweet!

[@rvz3215]

Happy New Year Plukky from the Netherlands!

[@VonBluesman]

Plukky please tell Jeffrey to apply the same engineering principles to your boat so it will reach speeds up to 40 knots. 😱😂👍😎🙏🏼✌️

[@TheKevan61]

Keep it up! What a relief it will be for you to live on and sail a boat that isn't constantly causing you heartache.

[@victorvos2833]

You only get succes when you have a dedicated working team! You have it! Its all about the foundation with the alu framing it will be perfect.

[@bernardklooz6980]

In good hands indeed

[@rickinmi]

It's inspiring to see the progress, Plukky! Looks like they are laying another set of keels alongside yours? It's going to get complicated soon, when the plating and decking portion of the construction begin!

[@mikemoore5929]

Holy balls , you tubing obviously paid off . Congrats , you can fit a few tasty sheilas below decks there mate .

[@medicmcauley6729]

So cool of a process they are using to get this done quickly and top quality

[@avpinstarter]

When you have won the elcano challenge plukky will we be seeing videos of you and crew in exotic places with pineapples for lisa of course

[@gcrauwels941]

There's no way I'd have considered building your boat anywhere else seeing the capabilities in this yard. Now going laser cut even! Happy New Year!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

That's a state (nationally) owned industry in Vietnam. It's interesting that they're SO efficient.

[@mikesh8968]

They want business......capitalism always wins

[@BernardOuellette-mf5rv]

Great staff update.

[@kevintikivik]

looks like it will sit pretty low..

[@toddgroh]

Looking good Plukky! Nice progress.

[@fredicart6984]

Really loving these videos with the actual smart guys getting things done. Not that I think otherwise of you, Peter. Haha Cheers for 2024!

[@pnr9730]

Awesome Plucky the progress is amazzing🎉

[@geoffpearce3953]

I had some strong doubts that I was keeping to myself. I'm willing to let them out now that I see where you're kicking ass and taking names. Good for you mate!

[@JCGible]

Are they building two Odisea's, side by side? I must have missed that video clip!

[@zendesigner]

yes, one for plukky and a slightly bigger one for the first customer

[@JCGible]

@@zendesigner oh, ok 🙂

[@dalebogue3806]

W.O.M! Great job Skipper 💯🧌👍🏼

[@davidpeck8351]

Loved the interviews, learning about some of the teams experience and well, it shows in how the build is coming along.

[@gedfi]

Pretty amazed at the level of experience on the crew! Having the balls to say that you can build whatever boat the customer wants takes incredible skill and experience.

[@mariescott9853]

Awesome team. Lucky you.

[@nick2300]

Great staff!

[@SailingSisu]

Wow, Cap'n Plukky! The progress on your performance world cruising catamaran is truly remarkable! It's great to see that you've found a team of skilled engineers who are working efficiently to bring your dream to life. Your patience in choosing professionals truly paid off! Keep up the amazing work, and thank you for sharing this fantastic journey with all of us. Can't wait to see the final timelapse build videos - it's going to be awesome! Happy New Year and smooth sailing ahead! ⛵️🌊😊

[@RedSurfBoy]

Loving the build videos 🤙

[@ASDPOWER]

Ive had the opportunity to wander around Henderson in WA and watch these guys work. They are weapons!!!!

[@ergolfking]

Thanks

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Woohoo and thanks

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Looks like Vietnam is definitely better than Greece for building boats. I'd like it more there too. Does the countryside remind you of Panama?

[@paulpence8895]

Happy Holidays Plukky!!! Looks like its coming along...

[@brandonboand]

PLUKKY’s #1

[@brentpenfold1795]

Best. Christmas. Ever. Another build video! Thanks Peter! And really enjoyed getting to know more about the Engineers. :o)

[@hydewhyte4364]

There's nothing better as an employee than knowing your boss used to do your job, and more importantly, he isn't interested in doing it again.

[@Corrvision]

Cool Thanks for the engineering lesson Peter!

[@deanostevenson9238]

Good updates
