The Odisea 48 from Odisea Catamarans has just started to get built in Vietnam. The design is complete, the paperwork has been done and now the factory has had 4 days to start the job and they are welding like madmen. Finally the wait is over, the Elcano World Challenge will begin in 2024 people.

Wow!! The workmanship and attention to detail. . . You must be very pleased to see the he work ethic and quality control 👏👏👍👍😍🏆🏆🏆

She's looking good.

Another great update Peter, definitely precise work!

[@johncammarota9984]

Thanks looking good

[@dennisgabriel9641]

These build videos are cool. Brings back memories of my days building low boy trailers.

[@festerofest4374]

With welding skills the sky's the limit!

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Wow Plukky I just finished the other video you put out today and here's another happy surprise. I'm blown away by the speed of that crew. I had no idea that Vietnam has such good facilities. It's a very different place from when my uncle and dad were there, and I'm happy to see it. I'd love to see some adventures out in the mountains and jungles and the farm areas, if you have time. Looks like you've been editing a lot, unless your new lady friends are already trained 😜. Buena suerte, cuídate mucho amigo.

Great update!

I’m glad we have the professional crew on this and you and probably volunteers are not struggling in questionable conditions. How far the project has evolved given some development time. The wait was worth a superior build. ❤

Cant wait to see the progress each episode! you should get them all coffee and doughnuts (or whatever is culturally appropriate) to show your appreciation!

Progress Plukky 😊

[@hthring]

you're making a great boat

[@geoffhall7827]

Day 18, they should have had plates on by now people.

[@zendesigner]

WOOW what a progress !!!

[@ralphjansen9205]

Just a quicky. (No get your mind out of the gutter) why don't they use Lazer welders? Less distortion , no beveling , oxidisation before isn't a big issue. But two plates together and weld. 100 penetration on 6mm.

[@mattschaal5578]

wow 😮

[@brentpenfold1795]

Really impressed with the video output. While you’re not wielding, you’re certainly working overtime to complete all the editing. Super huge effort to bring these insightful reveals of Ba Son’s aluminum catamaran building capabilities. No doubt you have many people now considering both aluminium as an alternative material and Ba Son as a capable and proven catamaran builder. :o))

[@davidfreeman4625]

Good to see the progress, I'm more and more jealous each time. Just watched a walk-through of a Lagoon 51, totally different boat with a different purpose I guess. The Lagoon actually looked quite bloated after following you and your educational videos.

[@KennyP88]

Alright already, enough tickin tackin video, lets see what's happening between the scenes. You must be busy sourcing sails and interior systems. Looking great, can't wait to see some 😂 planking 😂 going on. Are you aware of who's the owner of the bigger boat and have they any new orders coming in? Your video's are certainly advanced advertising of a class 🎬 act. "Nothing but quality peepole."😅

[@ginaboyd2461]

Hi! i was wondering if we could get an update video(s) on the winner/recipients of the old boats and how they are faring since. Much love.

[@jonathanscott550]

another awesome video. Your Cats coming along . Now is it coming along on the time frame you expected ?

[@billkaroly]

Are both boats the same?

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

No...one is on the left

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Plukky they are doing a fantastic job and it shows... Just curious what do you do when you are onsite.. are you there for the whole day or just a bit of time to film and then head home? This project is very interesting and I am folling the process with interest.

[@jameshall2769]

What's all the stifna talk? If you sail alone too long you need more stifna? Moreover, it seems your video's lately are devoid of sand and watah ... where's the sand and watah!!!!! But seriously, can't wait to see the energetic new crew on your future boat, and Yes am enjoying your construction journey step by step.

[@rboston33]

Hmm, might be a good day to get a haircut?

[@surfskate3]

Tell me you thoughts plucky on a steel haul with automotive thick steel and foam core. So welded on the outside with ribs then glued foam then riveted on the inside. So it would be like 16th inch metal glue 1.5 inch foam core. The other idea I have for that would be to use a paint and cotton fiber like a bed sheet. To help hold the paint together. And preventing rust

[@surfskate3]

I also think that a thiner thread count for the fiber like the bag of onions that you can see through.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Bad. Will rust out in no time at all....

[@user-cv4tf3us6z]

👍🎣⛵💯

[@larryferguson1547]

Plukky... One of your previous adventures was when your boat was stuck by lightning and it blew 2 holes in the hull. Was that not caused by the steel frame of the boat...? I remember something about a French design and an Australian build...? In any case, is lightning-attraction not an issue for the new, solid aluminium boat? Top stuff!!

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

No...it conducts

[@FlyMeAirplane]

Well actually.... lightning isn't attracted to a boat based on what the boat is made of. If lightning is going to hit, it tends to hit the tallest object in its area. So sail boat masts are excellent at attracting lightning due to being tall. So if lightning hits an aluminum mast on a non conducting fiberglass boat, the current goes down the mast and then looks for a least resistance path into the water. If it has to blow up some fiberglass on the way to the water, it doesn't care. With an aluminum boat, once the current gets down the mast it now has lots of great paths into the water so it's not going to blow the boat apart. What it will do is blow the VHF antenna, mast mounted GPS and radar stuff. Anything on the top of the mast. The huge voltage pulse could follow its way down the Navigation light wire and into the 12V system. I think I'd put a surge suppressor on the line coming down from the nav light. Maybe one on the coax to the VHF antenna also.

[@larryferguson1547]

@@FlyMeAirplane Brilliant, informative reply! Thanks so much! I'm sure The Plukster would have considered all your points in his build specs. But we'll wait for him to comment as the boat gets to those issues as the build continues. Many thanks once again.

[@shaneedmonds84]

Are you getting about amongst the locals? What's the night life like?

Do you have a projected completion date?

What's the go with the other boat?

[@GLPM100]

Hi Peter, I'm Brazilian and thinking about building a 40 foot catamaran. Thank you for your videos. Did you buy the aluminum sheets right there in Vietnam? and the cutting of the sheets were done by this shipyard? Thank you and I wish you much success

[@juliabarnley7614]

Keep the videos coming. You look as if you have walked through some Bush backwards. You would get a lot more respect from locals etc if you tidied up your dreadlocks.

Where is this?

[@themadjedi2488]

A question plucky, how does the front of the cat go with large waves. I’m not an experience boatie it looks like it is not meant to ride over like other boats.

[@SAILINGintoFREEDOM]

Pierces

[@themadjedi2488]

Cutting through cool, I was watching a doc on how they changed the shape of the bow over time on some of the bigger liners and ships and was curious how this translated into sailing ship design. Fantastic watching this process unfold. thanks man@@SAILINGintoFREEDOM

What price range will these catamarans be sold? (I understand that price vary depending on the exact configuration)
